The first impressions edition.

Claymore seem well-equipped for a title defence. Yohan Cabaye and Georginio Wijnaldum look decent additions. There was no dream start for Kiran but he put up a strong effort and was rewarded with a goal on debut from Andre Ayew. He said he'd "shock a few", that may not be an idle boast. Last season the Aardvarks made a great start and Trusted were slow out of the blocks. We appear to have a bit of history repeating. 

Yaya Toure looked like he was back in the mood, always a great sight - especially for Ceri. Julian's revamped squad not gelling just yet. The Phoenix show they'll be at the sharp end again. Brian's retention of Nathan Redmond paying dividends straight away. Philippe Coutinho still the star in Mega Bucks ranks. That late long-range goal too good for the Cheesers. FCK2 still have one of the league's best defences. They could be thereabouts if the goals start flowing.

As well as Trusted, the CFJs, Nil Satis, the Muppets, San Dimas and Fred are all thankful there's another auction before we get into the red meat of the season.

Leighton Baines out injured for months? The Artisans are still unlucky then.
