2023/24 Co-Ord Round-up Part Eight - 1st-4th

1st: Aardvark Abacus (up six places on last season)
Got the win they needed to make this a multiple-record breaking season. Watkins and Son scored 31 league goals between them and Ben White was a solid presence at the back. Just one league defeat since week ten shows the level of dominance. It’s been eight years since a team has won back-to-back titles, could Ady re-set that stat next season?

Star Player? Ollie Watkins (18 goals) as the pick of a very good bunch.

What happened to last year's Star Player? Ben White only just missed out on back-to-back wins.


2nd: The Fabulous Artisans (up one)
Runner-up for the fourth time. Top until week 12 Ben’s team suffered a massive winter wobble winning just six times in the league between December and the end of April. Might need another striker to take some pressure of Nicolas Jackson if he’s finally to reach the top step.

Star Player? Jarrod Bowen (13 goals) is the first striker to win this since Christian Benteke.

What happened to last year's Star Player? Martin Odegaard didn't make as much of an impression.


3rd: The Cow-Faced Juniors (down one)
Finished in the top three for a second season running. Always on the back-foot after just four wins in the opening nine, third place seems a good return. One of the league’s best midfields but one of many teams that’ll be pursuing a goalscorer in the summer.

Star Player? Gabriel (three goals, 11 cleans) won for the third straight year.

What happened to last year's Star Player? See above!


4th: Trusted By Millions (up one)
How on earth did Trusted miss out on a top three place? Just as prolific as the Aardvarks in the scoring department there was a duff period in early season (six without a win) that probably made the difference. At least has the Charity Shield to show for the season’s work.

Star Player? Alexander Isak (20 goals) looks a proper player.

What happened to last year's Star Player? David de Gea is a free agent.
