2018/19 Co-Ord Round-up Part Six - 9th-12th


9th: Claymore Athletic FC (down three places on last season)
Clive dropped out of the top half for the first time in nine seasons but added the FA Cup to his mantelpiece. Sergio Aguero led the line again but not enough Swordsmen backed him up to provide a high league finish. The boss's summer priority might be to extend Youri Tielemans' contract and build from there.
What happened to last year's Star Player? Sergio Aguero was this year's star player. That's five seasons in a row.

Star Player: Sergio Aguero (22 goals)

10th: Wheel Madrid (up five places)
A season in three parts. A decent start culminated in a PCMT Final appearance (but defeat), then there was a poor run through the winter before a late top half push was denied in the last week of the season. With a team built around Vardy, Luiz, Perez, Wilson, Matip and Maddison, a couple more signings and Paul could push on next year.
What happened to last year's Star Player? Jamie Vardy was this year's star player.

Star Player: Jamie Vardy (17 goals)

11th: The Cow-Faced Juniors (down ten places)
A dreadful title defence and defeat in the FA Cup Final for a fifth time. It wasn't a season to remember for the Cows. Most of the problem lies at the forwards' door. Morata, Abraham and Carillo went out on loan, Alexis Sanchez might have well as, which left Fernando Llorente and Ali Jahanbaksh. Chris and Co have the Mesut Ozil conundrum to solve too. It won't be an overnight rebuild.
What happened to last year's Star Player? Shkodran Mustafi had a pretty decent return of 11 counters.

Star Player: Aymeric Laporte (two goals, 18 cleans)

12th: Cheese Makers (same place)
A third consecutive 12th place for Matthew who spent the last half of the season bouncing between tenth and 14th. Manuel Lanzini missed just about all season through injury and draft pick Fabinho provided stability not goals. Glenn Murray and Troy Deeney are still chipping in but might need an upgrade soon. Andrew Robertson's success proves the boss can find a star - he needs more.
What happened to last year's Star Player? Glenn Murray provided another eight goals for the cause.

Star Player: Andrew Robertson (18 cleans)
