Last season’s champions looked tidy in beating Trusted 3-0 on the opening day of the campaign. Fred did well with relative unknown Alfie Mawson last year, perhaps Ahmed Hegazi will fill that role this year. The Egyptian opened the scoring on the half hour before the better known Mo Salah and Dele Alli added further goals in the second half. Fred has to be content with second though as the Muppets went one better against the Wateringhole Society. First half goals from Okazaki, Mane and Steven Ward for Ryan’s team had this one won early on and will have Kiran pondering his next transfer moves (see below.)

We can always rely on the Aardvarks to blow hot and cold and this was a hot week, defensively anyway. Ady’s team trailed to Roberto Firmino’s penalty for the Artisans but Stephens and Kompany cleans turned it into a 3-1 win and third place in the fledgling table. Claymore were on the back-foot against YTFIB for quite a while before coming through. Joel Ward put through is own net to hand Julian an early lead and there were only 20 minutes left when Sergio Aguero found room to equalise. Olivier Giroud and Manuel (or is it Miguel?) Britos added late headers to give Clive’s team the win. (Vokes 2, Mounie 2 and Rooney all scored for the Claymore reserves this week - ominous.)

Two goals in a minute gave the CFJs a win at Cheese Makers. Record signing Alvaro Morata notched from close range on 69 minutes, Ben Davies did similar a minute later. Nil Satis also won by a 2-0 scoreline, at FCK2. New signing Danilo went off with a clean in the bank on 68 minutes, Paul Pogba rifled home on the final whistle to double the lead after Harry Kane had hit a post for Kevin.

Romelu Lukaku picked up where he left off last season, scoring twice in my 3-2 over Athletico. Danny Welbeck bundled in the other which was just as well as Brian came back with cleans from Williams and Soares. Did I let Jamie Vardy go too soon? Possibly. He also got two this week for Wheel Madrid in Paul’s 3-2 win over Mega Bucks. David Luiz got the other one before Dave replied with a couple of cleans.
