Golden Boot Award:

Despite finishing in the bottom half of the table, it was CSKA Widnes striker Felipe Caicedo who walks home with the golden boot, scoring 22 of the teams 39 Championship goals. In second place was Anthony Modeste who currently plays for Old Boys Tolworth scoring 19 goals. Lastly was arguably the most accomplished striker around in Phillip Stamp. Stamp scored 16 goals for champions Samba FC and will be looking for much of the same in the Premiership next season.

Golden Glove Award:

This seasons winner of the golden glove surprisingly has no club, after Samba FC manager Zar decided - due to him about to turn 39 - not to renew his £16,000 contract. Despite his advancing years he still managed 18 clean sheets in 30 league appearances. In second place was Gooners FC keeper Roberto Junior Fernandez with 15 in 30 games.

Most Fouls Made:

The top fouler in this Championship this season was Mark Davies who currently plays for Ewerton FC. Secondly was Enrique Corrales from 1 for sorrow 2 for joy although he only picked up nine yellow cards for his sins.

Most Bruised Player:

The most fouled player of the season was Samba FC's excellent winger Ricardo Quaresma, being sinned against a total of 94 times over the course of the season. Gooners FC's £1.4m signing Adel Taarabt came in second place being fouled 89 times.

The Un-social Award:

Three players take this award this season with two reds each, although Pablo Bazan of Real FC manager the feat in just 19 games whereas the other two - Andres Mosquera of HotShot Rovers and Felipe Caicedo of CSKA Widnes - managed theirs in 25 and 29 games respectively.

MVP:

The top two player with the highest average rating this season both came from league winners Samba FC. First of all was left back Aleksandar Kolarov with 7.44 followed very closely by Esteban Granero with 7.40. They were followed by Gooners FC midfielder Adel Taarabt with an average of 7.37.

LVP:

The player at the front of the dole queue tomorrow morning is Younes Abidal who plays for HotShot Rovers, surely not for much longer. Next in the queue will be John Rozema from Ewerton FC just 0.01 behind Abidal with an average of 6.21.
