They credited Foley with the B&F and then Richo, Polo at 31?, Lids finished 5th in the B&F, they say he finished 4th.

The rankings must be a chore for the guys writing the article, they always look like an afterthought.

The starting 18 looks kind of ok but what has Schultz done to deserve the most important position on the ground?

To me it shows how little the rest of the football community know about our list, the key players and where the improvement will come from. 

I hope the other clubs have the same lack of knowledge, we might sneak a couple of under the radar wins early in the season.

They must be assuming Cogs to be fully fit and raring to go. If he gets his known form back relatively quickly he is in our top 10 players.
