Because of the PCMT and international break we won't be in league action until October 15th. Which is a bit of a shame because we've got an exciting-looking league table on our hands. Trusted stay top but drew for the second week running. Javier Hernandez limped off after 11 minutes and after that there was no sign of Beef's team breaching a determined Nil Satis rearguard. Trusted are the last unbeaten team in the league after York's fell to the Parrots. Peter Crouch battered a header home early in the second half for Julian but couldn't kill the game off and ultimately went down to Hart and Riise cleans for Dean.

It's the Aardvarks that are up to third after notching their third straight win. It wasn't much of a match against San Dimas with a Vincent Kompany clean the only item on the scoresheet but Ady won't mind how the points come. The Artisans have arrived in third place without anyone really noticing. Ben's team did go a goal down to Mega Bucks but Mario Balotelli's deflected shot and a Kieran Gibbs clean got the Artisans their fourth win of the campaign.

Biggest scorers of the week were our defending champions. Fred's team were 3-0 up against the Muppets inside half an hour, Rafael van der Vaart, Nani and Fernando Torres all finding the target. Torres' red card for a reckless lunge before half-time should have given Ryan's team some momentum but Alex Song made it four for Fred in the last knockings of the game. Despite Joleon Lescott's clean the Muppets fall to the bottom of the table (can you believe it?) on goals scored. Ryan's loss is Sheriff's gain as Boston Rock climb a place. It was only draw for the 'Sky Heroes' but it was looking like another defeat . The CFJs were in front from a Gareth Bale header and some Luis Suarez near-post trickery but a crazy last couple of minutes saw the points shared. James Milner raced onto a (cliche alert!) defence-splitting throughball to poke home on 89 minutes and then a freakish deflection off Richard Dunne in injury time made it 2-2.

Claymore's strikers have been dishing out pain in hat-trick form over the early weeks of the season but were on the wrong end of one this week. Demba Ba looked quite handy for Final Fantasy last season and he opened his season's account for Ceri with three goals inside the hour.A Barry Bannan penalty pulled one back for Clive and a Bacary Sagna clean made for a nervy few minutes but Final Fantasy hung on. Robin van Persie had been a bit quiet so far this term but scored both goals as the Phoenix beat the Cheese Makers 2-0. Two defeats in a row see Matthew's team down to seventh, Brian is ninth.
