13th: Mega Buck Bandits (up two places on last season)
Mega Bucks were in the top half as late as Week 17 before settling into their usual late season malaise, only notching three counters or more once in the last 13 games. Dave has just one finish that doesn’t start with a 1 in the last 19 seasons. Likes to operate with a smaller squad but the midfield has a defensive look to it and Evanilson wasn't quite so effective leading the Mega Bucks frontline this year.
Star Player? Bruno Guimaraes (eight goals)
What happened to last year's Star Player? Milos Kerkez was sold and joined the champions.
14th: Nil Satis Nisi Optimum (same place)
Nil Satis have just one top ten finish in the last 15 seasons. This season did show promise until week 17, Paul's team picked up just four more points after that. Dominic Calvert-Lewin stayed fit and led the line superbly, Jeremy Doku started fulfilling his promise while the Everton defensive reliance paid dividends for a while. Options away from the blue side of Merseyside could be useful if the Toffees start to struggle.
Star Player? Dominic Calvert-Lewin (ten goals)
What happened to last year's Star Player? Vitali Mykolenko wasn't quite as effective.
15th: YTFIB (down two)
YTFIB spent the first five weeks out of the bottom three before slipping into familiar territory. Probably a bit unlucky to be this low in this table. (Julian's team were one of only two to pick up at least one counter each week.) Antoine Semenyo did his bit for the cause but we saw a bit less of Nick Pope this season and while Neco Williams had a good season in defence he needs some support.
Star Player? Antoine Semenyo (15 goals)
What happened to last year's Star Player? Jamie Vardy was relegated then went to Italy.
16th: Wheel Madrid (same place)
Bottom for the second season running but shorn of last season’s top scorer, this season’s record signing and one of his top midfield options through injury it was always looking difficult. Paul’s team also recorded the fewest clean sheets to add to the issues. The boss has yet to commit for another season and has lost this year's top scorer to relegation. Has he the appetite to put things right.
Star Player? Callum Wilson (seven goals)
What happened to last year's Star Player? Chris Wood spent most of it injured.
