Just one team left with a 100% record after this week - The Fabulous Artisans. Ben’s team beat San Dimas 4-2. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring in the first half but it was a 15-minute burst in the second that took the game away from me. Moussa Diaby, Sterling again and £50m Nicolas Jackson all scoring before the Saints could muster consolation replies from Hugo Bueno (a clean) and Joao Palhinha.
Eight teams have six points and Markian are top of that pile. Harry who? Ian’s team left it late against the CFJs with all three goals coming in the last ten minutes, two from Darwin Nunez and another belter from Rodri doing the damage.

The Wateringhole Society are third after beating Wheel Madrid 3-1. James Maddison timed his run superbly to slot Paul ahead on 17 minutes but Kiran’s team turned it round after the break. Dejan Kulusevski got in front of his marker at the near post to level and Bukayo Saka scored a penalty before Maio Gusto’s clean confirmed the win. Two cleans were enough for the Aardvarks to end Trusted’s perfect start. Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill got the counters for Ady.

Cheese Makers drop to sixth after their first loss but stay ahead of their conquerors, Claymore. Matty Cash was the unlikely hero for Clive, scoring twice in the first 20 minutes while Casemiro’s prodded reply for Matthew on 52 minutes couldn’t spark a full fightback. Fred’s second win of the season came at the expense of Mega Bucks. Dave’s team led too, Michail Antonio finding the far corner just after the hour. Bruno Fernandes levelled from the spot and Cristian Romero got the winning clean.

SGU are three points off the top and in the bottom half of the table! The 3-0 win over Nil Satis looks one-sided but it took a while for Aaron to recover after Virgil van Dijk’s sending off. Joachim Andersen broke the deadlock on 76 minutes, bundling under the keeper and Pascal Gross doubled the lead from the edge of the area five minutes later. Ben Chilwell bagged a clean to end the scoring. YTFIB beat the Muppets 2-1 in a ‘bad day at the office’ for Ryan. Christian Eriksen got a debut goal for Julian on 17 minutes while Erling Haaland spurned a chance to equalise from the spot 20 minutes later. Last year’s Golden Boot winner did get the equaliser in the 63rd minute but the Muppets were hampered by Calvin Bassey’s late sending off and a Joe Gomez clean gave YTFIB the winner.
