So the reigning Champions kick-off against the team that propped the table up last season. It’s a repeat of their week 30 clash where Ryan’s team ran out 7-0 winners.

The CFJs and YTFIB also met in week 30 (it finished 3-3) and we have also a Bevan derby for good measure.

It all gets going on 15 August.

The 'Curse' of the Champions?

It's been very difficult to win the WSFFL two years in a row. It's only been achieved three times in fact:

Claymore Athletic 2003/4 and 2004/5

Aardvark Abacus 2007/8 and 2008/9

Claymore Athletic 2014/15 and 2015/16 

But since Clive clocked up his second repeat it's been noticeable that in many instances there's been a real drop-off in performance from the title winners.

2015/16 Champions Claymore were 6th the following season

2016/17 FW LG XI fared best by finishing second the following year

2017/18 Winners the CFJs dropped to11th

2018/19 Champs FW LG XI plummeted to 12th

2019/20 Table-toppers Trusted finished third the following season

2020/21 Saw FW LG XI win again and repeat the fall to 12th

2021/22 The Wateringhole Society took their first title and finished 4th the next season

2022/23 It was another win for Fred and a fall to 13th place

2023/24 The Aardvarks were back on top but sank to 11th in 2024/25

A team going from winning the title to finishing tenth or worse had only happened twice before this*. We've had five more instances in the last nine seasons. 

Good luck Ryan!

*Records go back to 2000/1

2024/25 Co-Ord Round-up Part Eight - 1st-4th

1st: Real Muppets (up nine places on last season)

After three consecutive tenth places Ryan's team came out of nowhere to claim a second title, 18 years after the first. Three straight draws at the start of the season gave no clues as to the forthcoming improvement but by week 15 they were up to third and ready to pounce. As their rivals faltered, the Muppets kept on keeping on. It's their best ever points return and a great example of getting the job done without necessarily the best team. Flash in the pan or start of something? Ryan won't care for now.

Star Player? Erling Haaland (21 goals) was injured for a bit but was still the league's top scorer.

What happened to last year's Star Player? It was Haaland last year too.

2nd: The Cow-Faced Juniors (up one)

Three straight years in the top three but the wait for a third title enters a seventh season. Chris, Luc and Noah's outfit racked up the most 'counters' (25 more than the third most) but an inexplicable run of six straight losses from January through to March undid all the good work. There were contributors all over the pitch but perhaps a double-figure striker and a keeper at a top club could have made the difference. Can the Cows go one better next year? Transfer ins and outs might determine that.

Star Player? Yoane Wissa (17 goals)

What happened to last year's Star Player? After three years in a row Gabriel had to settle for second.

3rd: Cheese Makers (up nine)

Where did this come from? Matthew's 13 previous league campaigns had seen only three top-half finishes and a best of sixth place. This season Cheese made their first final (the Charity Shield) and took the title fight to the last day. The manager was very active in the transfer market and squeezed just about everything he could out of his players. Nico O'Reilly, Rico Lewis, Oscar Bobb, Abdudokhir Khusanov and James Trafford give a young look to a squad that isn't going to go away easily.

Star Player? Bryan Mbeumo (18 goals)

What happened to last year's Star Player? David Raya Martin had another good season and was the league's top keeper.

4th: The Wateringhole Society (up one)

A rare double Cup season (the Charity Shield and FA Cup are heading to Kiran) but a treble didn't seem out of the question. Until the Wateringhole only picked up one win in the last five games that is. The Society are another team that lacked a consistent goalscorer and that meant the loss of Bukayo Saka to injury was a bigger absence than might otherwise have been. A couple of tweaks to personnel before next season will most likely see Kiran chasing the crown again.

Star Player? William Saliba 

What happened to last year's Star Player? He was this year's star player.

2024/25 Co-Ord Round-up Part Seven - 5th-8th

5th: Trusted By Millions (down one place on last season)

As with last season Beef will be scratching his head as to how he didn't get closer to taking a fourth title. After looking like favourites at the end of March there was only one win in the last seven games. Blessed with four starting strikers the boss didn't always make the right choice. Injury to Isak and Delap falling out of favour also came at the wrong time. That's four seasons in a row not breaking into the top three.

Star Player? Alexander Isak (17 goals)

What happened to last year's Star Player?  He was this year's star player too.

6th: The Fabulous Artisans (down four)

The opposite to Trusted in that Ben's team dropped out of the top three after four seasons challenging for the title. There was a decent start to be fair but a run of one win in seven from November to the start of January undid all that and the form was patchy from there. Unlucky with the injury to Riccardo Calafiori, the boss will need to take a hard look at players like De Ligt, Felix and Sterling who failed to fire.

Star Player? Marc Guehi (two goals, 11 clean sheets)

What happened to last year's Star Player?  Jarrod Bowen had another good season.

7th: Stanley and Gracie United (down one)

After Week 22 SGU had put themselves just four points from the top of the table but a collapse of just six points from the last eight games put paid to a high finish. There's quality throughout the squad but SGU were forced into playing Dominic Solanke as a single striker just about all season. Aaron has finished 6th, 7th or 8th in each of the last five seasons, if that's to improve then more goals are very much needed.

Star Player? Virgil van Dijk (three goals, 12 cleans) picked this up for the fourth time

What happened to last year's Star Player? Solanke did ok but missed time through injury.

8th: San Dimas High School (up one)

It's now seven seasons since my team finished higher than eighth, and 20 since I made the top four! Having said that I don't think I'm a million miles away. San Dimas made a shocking start (again), just six points in the first 11 weeks, but 'the Saints' had the joint-second best return after the mid-point. Like many teams I'm a striker light with most of my signings in that department just too midfieldy.

Star Player? Josko Gvardiol (five goals, 12 clean sheets)

What happened to last year's Star Player?  It was another solid campaign from Dan Burn.

2024/25 Co-Ord Round-up Part Six - 9th-12th

9th: Claymore Athletic FC (down two places)

Clive will be delighted with the Paul Cartmell Memorial Trophy heading back to Chippenham Park but it was another underwhelming league campaign with just two weeks spent in the top six. Stats show that the Swordsmen were a bit unlucky in the 'counters against' department but scoring-wise they were only around average. More to do in that area for Clive and his squad.

Star Player? Daniel Munoz (three goals, nine clean sheets)

What happened to last year's Star Player? Manuel Akanji missed a chunk of the season through injury

10th: Markian United (down two places)

For the second year running there was a great start to the season for Ian's team before a collapse after the turn of the year. They topped the table after week 13 but it was a slow slide down the table after that. Darwin Nunez and Alejandro Garnacho have shown little sign of replacing Harry Kane while the midfield (with the exception of Ismaila Sarr) has a bit too much of a defensive look about it.

Star Player? Maxence Lacroix (11 clean sheets)

What happened to last year's Star Player? Fabian Schar was edged out by Lacroix this year

11th: Aardvark Abacus (down ten places)

It's been a curious theme in recent seasons, the champions not coming close to defending the title. Ady's team lived up (down?) to that recent trend. The bare stats might point out a bit of bad luck but there was a dramatic drop-off in the 'counters for' column. Heung-Min Son certainly wasn't as effective, Ben White missed a chunk of the season and the choice between three keepers proved a problem.

Star Player? Ollie Watkins (12 goals)

What happened to last year's Star Player? There may have been fewer goals but Watkins still topped the Aardvark chart.

12th: Garth Crooks' Team of the Week (up one)

Ollie made a storming start to his first season in the hot-seat, topping the table in five of the first ten weeks and being fourth at the mid-point. It was downhill from there though. Sticking to a 5-4-1 formation and giving many of the previous manager's players a chance, he'll know what level of surgery is needed before next season. A couple of talented youngsters are already through the door.

Star Player? Mohamed Salah (21 goals)

What happened to last year's Star Player? See above. It's eight seasons in a row now!

2024/25 Co-Ord Round-up Part Five - 13th-16th

My annual assessment of the WSFFL teams starts with the bottom four.

13th: YTFIB (up three places on last season)

Never looked like propping up the table which is an accomplishment for Julian's outfit. YTFIB were even chasing a top ten place for the first time in six seasons but faded badly with just four wins in the second half of the season. Now that Julian's transfer policy has moved on from York connected players they're could be more to come.

Star Player? Jamie Vardy (11 goals)

What happened to last year's Star Player? Injury robbed YTFIB of Joe Gomez for much of the campaign.

14th: Nil Satis Nisi Optimum (up one)

Never out of the bottom five, a late flurry of wins kept Paul off the foot of the table. Never one to change his team much (see also Wheel Madrid) if his starters aren't firing (or playing) the boss seems happy to keep it that way. An Everton revival was jey to the improved form and will probably be key to next season's finishing position too.

Star Player? Vitali Mykolenko (one goal, 12 clean sheets)

What happened to last year's Star Player? Jarrad Branthwaite had another solid season

15th: Mega Buck Bandits (down four)

Dave's team were bumping along in the bottom four all season and eventually dodged last position with a last day win. It’s 15th place twice in the last three seasons for Dave though. It’s not a positive trend. The Bournemouth connection (Evanilson and Kerkez) served the team well but the boss needs more players to step up.

Star Player? Milos Kerkez (two goals, eight clean sheets)

What happened to last year's Star Player? It was an injury hit season for Nathan Ake

16th: Wheel Madrid (down two)

The Wheelmen were bumping along in the bottom three all season and eventually succumbed to last position for the first time. It's five out of the last six seasons in the bottom three though. The signing of Chris Wood shows that Paul can spot a player and isn't afraid to splash the fantasy cash where needed. Needs to do more of it though.

Star Player? Chris Wood (17 goals)

What happened to last year's Star Player? Thiago Silva left for Brazil.
