With last week’s leaders slipping from the summit we have our fourth leader in four weeks, Real Muppets.  Ryan did lose his 100% record though in a 2-2 draw with the also unbeaten Garth Crooks’ Team of the Week. Erling Haaland’s brace had the Muppets two up but Ollie’s team hit back with cleans from Lisandro Martinez and Joel Veltman. The third of our unbeaten teams is Markian United who join the Muppets on ten points after beating YTFIB 3-1. Ian had to come from behind after the evergreen Jamie Vardy raced away to put Julian’s team ahead on 21 minutes. It was deep in the second half when Markian got back on level terms through Fabian Schar’s deflected effort. It was deep in injury time when Alejandro Garnacho put his team in the lead and new signing Ferdi Kadioglu clinched the win with a clean.

The Artisans are a point off the top after a 4-0 win over Wheel Madrid. It was a dream debut for Matthias De Ligt who notched a goal and a clean for Ben, Bart Verbruggen and Diogo Dalot also added cleans to add to Paul W’s early season woes. Cheese Makers' perfect start ended with defeat to the Wateringhole Society. Marcus Rashford was on target for Kiran four minutes before the break, Harvey Barnes curled in the second from the edge of the box 10 minutes from the end.

The CFJs are the league’s top scorers after spanking Claymore 6-0. Yoann Wissa took just 22 seconds to open the scoring with a close-range header, Gabriel added a header of his own on 64 minutes. Clean sheets for Gabriel, Ari Muric, Renato Veiga and Nassar Mazraoui gave the final score a very one-sided look.
SGU are another team on seven points after a 4-2 victory over Trusted. A saved penalty from Robert Sanchez put Aaron ahead but his team were behind in injury time when Jean-Phillipe Mateta’s penalty was his second of the gamet. Just as Beef was thinking about three points SGU turned it round courtesy of cleans from Ola Aina, Harry Maguire and Kieran Trippier. 

Rumours of the Aardvarks’ demise look to have been exaggerated after they thrashed Mega Bucks 6-0. It was a saved penalty that opened the scoring here too, Andre Onana’s stop om 33 minutes. Ollie Watkins added two goals while Onana, Wesley Fofana and Ben White got the cleans. Nil Satis climbed off the bottom of the table with a 2-1 win at San Dimas. My team were ahead too, when Dwight McNeil drilled in on 16 minutes. That lead only lasted 11 minutes before Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed Paul S level and Leif Davis’ clean gave him the winner. My team join Mega Bucks and Wheels in the ‘without a win’ category.
