Bremen 2nd candidate for team of the year. +14VA +15PVA, Feyenord also +10 with promoted Montpellier +7.
Division 5 is always a mad bad world.
Bremen always had a good keeper for the division and a strong midfield, but a few crafty late season buys pushed him over the line.
West Brom -6/-0.71 and more so West Ham -13/-0.75 were crushingly disappointing, which helped but Santos in 2nd , Montpellier pushed them hard with 4 pts separating the top 6.
Feyenord on +10 improved as the season went on , Twente were unlucky to fail in the playoffs.
Other than those mentioned, Independient on -7 and River Plate on -14 VA are notable in their below par performance.
