We've begun the process of adding an at-a-glance form guide at the end of each player's round up, so you can see instantly how he's been performing recently.

It may look complicated but it's pretty simple, with the most recent first eg:
FORM: B23, S, 77R, 90, *90, I, 63Y, B, M, **88, C90, ?

Where...

B23 = came off the bench for the last 23 minutes.
S = Suspended,
77R = Red carded after 77 minutes
90 = Played 90 minutes
*90 = Scored once, played full 90
I= Injured
63Y = Played 63 minutes, picked up a yellow
B = Unused substitute
M = Missing, reason unknown
**88 - Played 88 minutes, scored twice
C90 = Played 90 minutes, kept clean sheet (for keepers)
? = Unknown

Give us any feedback on this new feature, good or bad, or suggestions on how to improve it.

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE

LUCAS NEILL (West Ham)
With the EPL now over Lucas is preparing for Super June and three World Cup qualifiers with the Socceroos. A final day 2-1 win over Middlesbrough saw the Hammers end the season in ninth spot. Lucas put in a full shift in the win that relegated opponents Middlesbrough.

TIM CAHILL (Everton)
FA Cup final heartbreak for Tim and his Everton colleagues this weekend as they crashed 2-1 to Chelsea at Wembley. Timmy is a slight injury concern for the Socceroos as well after picking up a knock in the final. Everton will be enjoying Europa League football next season as a consolation.

MARK VIDUKA (Newcastle United)
Dukes has decided he doesn't want to be part of Super June with the Socceroos as he decides on his future. Disaster, despair and all round misery on Tyneside as Dukes and his colleagues crashed out of the Premier League with a whimper. A final day 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa will see the Magpies going to Peterborough and Scunthorpe next season. Seems highly unlikely that the V-Bomber will be part of the Championship squad.

BRETT EMERTON - VINCE GRELLA (Blackburn Rovers)
It's probably fair to say that this season won't go down as one to savour for either Emmo or Vinnie, such has been their injury misfortune. Emmo won't be back until next season but Vinnie is at least back fit again. Blackburn wrapped up a disappointing season with a goalless draw against relegated West Brom. Vinnie played 69 minutes before making way. He is now focused on Socceroos duty.

MARK SCHWARZER  (Fulham)
Mark is now preparing for the Socceroos three World Cup qualifiers this month. His club Fulham clinched seventh spot and a place in the Europa League next season. Schwarz has played a massive part in the achievement and there is now talk of an extended contract at the club.

RICHARD GARCIA (Hull City)
Richard ended the EPL season on a high as he helped Hull escape relegation by the skin of their teeth. A final day home defeat by Manchester United didn't prove fatal to their survival hopes with Newcastle United making the drop into the Championship. Richard is now in camp with the Socceroos preparing for this month's World Cup qualifiers.

BRAD JONES (Middlesbrough)
Championship football for Brad and the lads next season but at least there was the consolation of a call up into the Socceroos squad for Super June. Boro needed a miracle on the final weekend of the EPL season but they didn't get one. Brad won't be happy with one of the two goals he conceded in the 2-1 defeat at West Ham United.

SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE

SCOTT McDONALD (Celtic)
Scotty won't be celebrating a Scottish title this season with the honours going instead to bitter rivals Rangers. The Gers triumph on the final day of the season was enough to earn them the title while Celtic could only draw with Hearts. Scotty will also have a new manager next season with Gordon Strachan deciding to quit Parkhead.

JAMES WESOLOWSKI (Dundee United)
The Leicester City midfielder has seen his season ended by injury but Dundee United are keen to try and secure his services on a permanent basis for next season. It has been a very frustrating season for the youngster.

TRENT McCLENAHAN (Hamilton Academicals)
Trent is about to have double hernia surgery but the pain should be lessened somewhat by the knowledge that Hamillton have offered him a new contract. He'll also be heartened to know that Pim Verbeek has recently watched him from the stands.

DANNY INVINCIBILE (Kilmarnock)
Danny is another Scottish-based player who has been paid a visit by the Socceroos coaching staff recently. A hamstring injury has kept Danny sidelined for the last couple of weeks though and he was missing again as Killie secured their SPL safety with a 1-0 win over Inverness.

ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP

MILE STERJOVSKI - RUBEN ZADKOVICH (Derby County)
So is Sterj staying at Derby, going elsewhere in Europe or coming back to Oz? Seems rather unclear as we speak and for now he's just concentrating on Socceroos duties. Nigel Clough says he cannot guarantee him first team football. Gold Coast and Perth Glory will be hoping to secure him for next season. As for Zadko, he too looks to be facing an uncertain future with the Rams.

NICKY CARLE (Crystal Palace)
Nicky admitted recently that his first season with Palace hadn't really seen him live up to his own high expectations and he isn't happy with his goal tally for the campaign. However, he received an end of season boost by earning a spot in Pim Verbeek's initial 30-man squad for the World Cup qualifiers. Will he make the final cut though?

DAVID CARNEY - ADRIAN LEIJER (Sheffield United)
Dave wasn't involved as Sheffield United suffered Wembley heartbreak in the Championship play-off final. He has since been placed on the transfer list at Bramall Lane and will be playing his football elsewhere next season. Not enough to prevent him missing out on Socceroos duty during June though. Adrian is back at Fulham.

ADAM FEDERICI (Reading)
Adam's lack of recent action for Reading proved costly as he was overlooked for the Socceroos squad for June's World Cup qualifiers. Brad Jones has a chance to stake his claim to challenge Mark Schwarzer instead. Reading boss Steve Coppell has called it quits. However, on a brighter note his main rival Marcus H for the number one spot at Reading won't be part of the club next season.

RHYS WILLIAMS (Burnley - on loan from Middlesbrough)
Rhys has now returned to Middlesbrough after completing his loan and wasn't part of Burnley's play-off campaign that ended with promotion to the Premier League. Looks like Rhys will be playing his international football with Australia now. Pim was happy he picked up the phone.

TURKISH SUPERLIG

HARRY KEWELL (Galatasaray)
Harry  came up against fellow Aussie Michael Petkovic on the final day of the season and it was Harry who ended the day the happier with Galatasaray seeing off Sivasspor 2-1. The Socceroo put in a full shift but also picked up a 73rd minute booking. He's now joined up with Pim Verbeek's squad for June's three World Cup qualifiers.

BRUCE DJITE - JAMES TROISI - MILE JEDINAK (Genclerbirligi)
A forgettable end to the season for the Aussie boys at Gencler as their team suffered a 4-0 home drubbing on the last day of the campaign by Kayserispor. Mile and James both started the game with Bruce coming off the bench in the 62nd minute. He couldn't rescue his team though.

BRETT HOLMAN - JAMES HOLLAND (AZ Alkmaar)
AZ defeated Heerenveen 3-1 in their final league game of the season but neither Aussie featured. An Aussie clash as champions Alkmaar travelled to take on FC Twente. It was a win for Twente by three goals to nil. Brett came on as a 58th minute substitute. James didn't feature in the squad. Brett will now be looking forward to Super June as part of Pim Verbeek's plans once again.

NIKITA RUKAVYTSYA (FC Twente)
The former Perth Glory star has struggled for game time since making the switch but he has been there or thereabouts in most matchday squads. He'll be hoping to step things up next season. How long before he's knocking on the door of the Socceroos squad? Not this month. He isn't part of Pim Verbeek's squad for the June World Cup qualifiers.

PORTUGUESE LIGA SAGRES

RICHARD PORTA (CD Beleneses)
Richard's loan team endured a miserable season and finished just one off the bottom and hence relegation. As for his international future, if he wants to play for Australia then he'd better pick up the phone to Pim Verbeek. Pim won't be phoning him.

Promotion celebrations for Nurnberg after they completed a play-off triumph at the weekend to return to the top flight of German football. Dario was an unused sub.

MICHAEL BEAUCHAMP (AaB)
Beechy looks to be on his way out at AaB, much to his disappointment. He didn't feature this weekend as the club fought out a 2-2 draw with Nordsjaelland. He will be looking to get fixed up as quickly as possible so as not to risk his Socceroos slot.

DAVID WILLIAMS (Brondby)
Brondby suffered a 4-2 defeat this time out.  It's been a hugely frustrating campaign for poor old Dave, largely due to injury. He must be utterly desperate to get some football under his belt to keep himself on Pim Verbeek's radar.
DAVID FORM GUIDE: I I I M M M M M M M M M


NATHAN COE (FC Copenhagen - Loan deal)
Nathan has been loaned to Swedish side Orgryte IS in the hope of getting some more game time under his belt this year. Not a great start as his loan team is currently bottom of the table. It gets worse with the Aussie now having suffered an injury. Twelve games played for Orgryte and they have picked up just two points in the competition.

KASEY WEHRMAN (Fredrikstad)
Kasey is another player who was probably on the 'wanted' list of several A-League managers for the coming season but no-one has made a move for him at this stage. That could change with news this week that he is on his way out of the club. He is furious and has hit out at the club's management.

MATT McKAY (Changchun Yatai)
The Brisbane Roar man says he's enjoying the experience of playing in China. They entertained Beijing Guoan but were thumped 6-2. Defeat again with a 2-1 reverse at the hands of Qingdao but then a victory to savour, 1-0 over Tianjin Teda.

MARK MILLIGAN (Shanghai Shenhua)
Mark's impressive form in the Chinese Super League season has secured a place back in the Socceroos squad for June's World Cup qualifiers. Milligan's long throws seem to be aiding his team while causing chaos in opposing defences.

JOEL GRIFFITHS - RYAN GRIFFITHS (Beijing Guoan)
The Chinese Super League season is now underway but new-dad Joel has been serving a five-match ban after being sent off for elbowing an opponent - this after he'd rescued a point for his side in a recent clash as well. He has been back in Australia to see his daughter. The most recent outing for Guoan ended with a 3-1 win over Qindao. No Griifths on the scoresheet with Yang Hao grabbing a hat-trick.

He is now preparing for the Socceroos June World Cup qualifiers. Chris was back on the bench as Colchester wrapped up a disappointing season with a 2-0 win at Yeovil Town.

Disappointment as Killa hobbled off injured as Leeds saw promotion hopes dashed by Millwall at Elland Road. A 1-1 draw was enough to put the Londers through to Wembley where they would lose to Scunthorpe. Another season of football in England's third tier now beckons. Thankfully's Killa's injury was a bad sprain but not an ankle break.

However, they  have managed to pull off the great escape and have guaranteed their Football League survival. Scott is facing an operation and missed the last game of the season, a 4-0 win at Morecambe.

The latest MAY update of Damian Davies's comprehensive database of overseas Aussies is below. Click on it to open it up bigger, click on it once more to see it full-size.

Damian adds: "Club level: With the majority of European leagues coming to an end for 2008/09, promotion and relegation scraps highlight the news reel. In terms of impact to Aussies Abroad, Leicester City moving back to the Championship will be positive for the Aussies there.

"Also a time of year where finishing well in the league will result in qualification for the UEFA Cup and Champions League. The next few weeks will be fascinating.

"The A-League pre-season has commenced, with several big names returning, will be interesting to see who else returns and those players that go back the other way and forge a career in Europe.

"National level :- quiet month for the Socceroos however the Joeys have been in action. An U20 camp coming up in Europe, will be interesting to see if some of the names on this database end up representing our country.

Transfers :- also a quiet month with the transfer window being closed.
Ante Rozic (8 Mar 1986) - Sedan, France
Jonas Salley (16 Mar 1982) - Shaanxi Zhongxin, China
Oliver Bozanic ( 8 Jan 1989) - Reading, England

Total Aussies Abroad (Male Professional Outdoor) - 140 Players

Senior Player of the Month: Michael Petkovic. A great run of clean sheets has guided Sivasspor to top of the league in Turkey nearing the end of the season.

Youth Player of the Month: Jack Watts. A 17 year old product of the academy, he has forced his way into the reserve set-up at Barnsley and celebrated by banging in a few goals.

Under the radar: Neil Kilkenny. The last month has seen a resurgence in Kilkenny's form. He has had a great run in the first team and been pivotal in taking Leeds to the play-offs." (Kilkenny has since suffered a potentially serious injury after Damien wrote this - KA)"
