2018/19 Co-Ord Round-up Part Seven - 5th-8th

5th: The Wateringhole Society (Up 11 places on last season)
Quite a recovery for Kiran after last year's bottom place finish. The Wateringhole didn't drop out of the top five after week nine and spent nearly half the season in third. Raul Jimenez and Bernd Leno were great use of the draft picks, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Andre Schurrle also made an impression. With Christian Pulisic already in the bank for next season can they do it again?
What happened to last year's Star Player? Marcus Rashford was a bit further down the list after scoring eight goals.

Star Player: Nathan Ake (three goals, 10 cleans)

6th: The Fabulous Artisans (down one place)
Ben's team are notorious slow starters but took that to the extreme this season. After ten games they were five points adrift at the bottom with one win to their name. Then, something clicked. A great run took them to the fringes of the top three before falling away late on. Lucas Digne was a great addition to the squad but the team may need more if they're to threaten the very top of the table.
What happened to last year's Star Player? Kyle Walker was top man again.

Star Player: Kyle Walker (one goal, 16 cleans)

7th: Nil Satis Nisi Optimum (up six places)
A first top half finish for Paul for nine seasons was built on Rui Patricio and Matt Doherty's efforts. Paul's top draft pick Andrei Yarmolenko was looking good before his injury too. There are doubts about whether the likes of Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Mendy and Townsend will be at the club next season but they'll generate good money and the boss has never been afraid to spend.
What happened to last year's Star Player? Marcos Alonso made it back to back awards.

Star Player: Marcos Alonso (two goals, 14 cleans)

8th: San Dimas High School (down one place)
San Dimas topped the league for the first time in 16 seasons and brought the PCMT back to Tesco Car Park Stadium but the second half of the season saw a bit of a slide set in and a last week win was needed to grab eighth place. I still need to be better in the transfer market, Eric Bailly hasn't repaid his £17m fee, and with Romelu Lukaku pushing for a move it won't be easy to replace his goals.
What happened to last year's Star Player? Romelu Lukaku didn't have his best season but still managed 13 goals.

Star Player: Antonio Rudiger (one goal, 14 cleans)
