A mix of abilities in this division meaning there is already a 15 pt gap between top and bottom after 5 games!

Lisbon look dead and buried already!

2nd - Skittles - Shaktar

P4 W3 D1 L0
 

After a disappoinintg campaign in Season 4, the Ukrainians were pleased to keep Skitz on for another season - and with his experience I expect promotion!

Just a 0-0 with Galatasaray preventing a 100% record in the month ..

1st Warthog - Valencia

P4 W4 D0 L0
 


A strong first full month back in role for Warthog - after leaving the Spaniards at the end of Season 3, they were relegated last season and persuafed him to rejoin ..

100% record, hard to play against but could score more goals .. what a tussle this league will be ...

April:

Like the Nike, a tough division ..

2 sides are running away at the top, one will face the play off lottery ..

The bottom 3 only have 4 wins from their combined 36 games played - whilst still time to get out they are showing no signs of doing so ...

2nd - Philippe Clement - Monaco

P4 W2 D2 L0     GD +5; Clean Sheets 4

An unbeaten month that sees them move away from the relegation battle, and closer to the play offs ..

3-0 over Porto was the highlight of the month ...

Identical records to PAOK and Valencia but superior GD ..

1st Skitz - Shaktar

P4 W3 D1 L0     GD +6; Clean Sheets 2

It's advantage Shaktar over Valencia as they take over at the top, albeit on GD ...

With Skitz's other team Ajax struggling in the Elite, this will give him some joy!

A 4-0 smashing of his former club Galatasaray he will have particularly enjoyed!

June:

 4 games in the month, the table now looking settled ... Shaktar & Valencia fighting it out for the title, Atalanta & Galatasaray look safe in play off spots, the final place still up for grabs!

At the bottom no one is dead and buried yet - bottom team Nicosia only 4 pts from 9th!


2nd Warthog - Valencia

P4 W3 D1 L0     GD +13; Clean Sheets 4

Valencia pipped both Galatasaray & Sporting Lisbon to runner up spot - all secured the same points, but Valencia didn't concede a goal, scoring 13 without reply, with the other 2 having GDs of +3 and +4 ..

Despite this great form, they slipped up in wk17 with a 0-0 v Fiorentina .. when Warthog was absent from the dugout ...


1st Skitz - Shaktar

P4 W4 D0 L0     GD +6; Clean Sheets 2

100% record in the month sees Skitz win the award for the 2nd time this season as Shaktar close the gap at the top to one point ..

..maybe havent been as prolific as Valencia but at this stage of the season it's the points that count ..

Can turn it on when needed, as evidenced with a 4-1 over Sociedad .. my tip for the title!

Aug:

2nd - Atalanta - Bruffio

P3 W2 D1 L0

An unbeaten month that sees them secure a play off position ...

Rumour has it that Bruffio will not continue with this project in Season 5 ...

1st - Valencia - Warthog

P3 W3 D0 L0

A 3rd monthly award  - 100% record as the title wrapped up with games to spare

Ended season with 3-0 over Sociedad ...
