City star Liam Lawrence has finished the season at the top of the 2007/08 Actim Index, the official player ratings system of the Coca-Cola Championship.

It sparks a treble celebration for the midfielder, after winning promotion against Leicester last Sunday as well as picking up three trophies at the Player of the Year Awards, including the Supporters Player of the Year Award.

The former Sunderland man picked up an outstanding score of 687 points from 41 games played.

He chipped in with 14 goals to help average 17 points per game with his highest individual match score coming with a 50-point haul coming against Scunthorpe back in February.

Leon Cort was the second-highest ranked Stoke player in 14th overall, 116 points adrift of his team-mate.

Fellow defender Ryan Shawcross was a place further back with 561 points.

Analysis of all Championship games took place throughout the season and here are City's top five players:

? Liam Lawrence, 1st (687 points)
? Leon Cort, 14th (571 points)
? Ryan Shawcross, 15th (561 points)
? Ricardo Fuller, 17th (558 points)
? Richard Cresswell, (549 points)

The Actim Index is calculated using a unique mathematical formula that rates each player's contribution be it goals, shots, passes, dribbles, tackles, crosses, saves, clearances, blocks, interceptions, assists, clean sheets, time on the pitch or number of points gained by the team with marks deducted for red and yellow cards.
