Division 5 Player & Manager Awards

For the last 5 days, the Managers of Top100 have been voting for their Players & Managers of the Season. With 80 out of the 100 managers casting a vote it was a real success.

Below are the End of Season Awards for Division 5… Division 5 Manager of the Season 3rd Place: Zaid Griffin (Feyenoord) 15% 2nd Place: Andrew Kelly (Villarreal) 40% 1st Place: feargal a hickey (VFB Stuttgart) 43%

Feargal just edges Andrew to the Division 5 MOTY even with Andrew winning the league by 11 points, the side that Feargal took over at the start of the season was 1 that most thought would be fighting relegation. A Cup win & a promotion later and VFB will not only be playing in Division 4 next Season, but will also have a shot in Europe. Andrew’s Villarreal side got back to Division 4 in style, winning the league by 11 points alongside Zaid’s Feyenoord side who were also relegated last season.

Division 5 Young Player of the Season 3rd Place: Joshua KIMMICH (Anderlecht) 13% 3rd Place: Sven VAN BEEK (Feyenoord) 13% 2nd Place: Ricardo KISHNA (Feyenoord) 25% 1st Place: Timo PLATTEL (FC Twente) 27%

Timo Plattel was a revelation in goal for FC Twente, at the start of the season when Twente were shipping goals at a rate of knots, Platell was still coming up with MOM awards and as such was picked in the Division 5 TOTW on 5 occasions. Plattel has since signed for Espanyol who will be playing Division 5 football themselves next season.

Division 5 Player of the Season

2nd Place: Gerard MORENO (Villarreal) 8% 2nd Place: Víctor RUÍZ (Villarreal) 8% 1st Place: Troy DEENEY (Feyenoord) 60%

Troy Deeney grabbed many a headline this season as he waded in with 21 goals and 10 assists being ever present and picking up the Division 5 golden boot along with the Player of the Season Award. Zaid will be hoping the Troy’s goals will help again in Division 4 next Season.
