Some might say that Ollie has made the perfect start to his WSFFL life. He tops the table after beating last week’s leaders, the CFJs, 5-2. The Cows were two up as well but that lead lasted just three minutes before an astonishing two minute burst that saw Mo Salah, Morgan Gibbs-White and Cristian Romero all score. Cleans from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Ibrahima Konate finished things off. Erling Haaland fired a hat-trick in the Muppets 5-1 victory over the Wateringhole Society. Ryan made a supersonic start, going three up inside 16 minutes. Kevin De Bruyne joined Haaland on the scoresheet in that early burst with a deflected Amad Diallo shot and Haaland completing his hat-trick in the second half.

Cheese Makers are third after an excellent 4-3 win over the Aardvarks. Son Heung-Min’s second goal had the champions 3-2 up with 13 minutes left only for Joao Pedro to head the Cheese level deep in injury time and Andrew Robertson got the winning clean. Ady has failed to win for two straight games for the first time since last November. A blip or has he started to slide away? Markian are the fourth team with a 100% record after a Pedro Porro clean settled their game against Wheel Madrid 1-0. Ian’s team seems to be improving little by little.

A big first win of the season for Trusted, 7-2 over Claymore. 2-1 up at half-time, Clive’s team were overwhelmed after the break. Noni Madueke hitting a hat-trick plus Leandro Trossard adding another and a Trent Alexander-Arnold clean all in the space of 24 minutes. Where did it all go wrong for Claymore? Instead of the halftime orange had they been at the cigarettes and alcohol? Stanley and Gracie are off the mark after inflicting a second straight defeat on Nil Satis. The breakthrough came on 77 minutes when Thomas Partey scored from range and SGU followed that up with cleans. Paul was busy at the auction but his team are still looking half the world away from challenging.

The Artisans picked up their first points with a 3-1 victory over Mega Bucks. The masterplan from Ben appears to have been to make everyone believe Nicolas Jackson wasn’t very good. The striker scored within two minutes with Emile Smith Rowe and Jarrod Bowen adding the other goals. YTFIB edged San Dimas 1-0 thanks to Alex Iwobi who raced away to fire through the keeper with 20 minutes to go. As for my team, whatever.
