Who doesn’t like a bit of cheese on top? Vegans, thinking about it. And the lactose-intolerant I suppose. And some people with high cholesterol. But apart from that it’s time to enjoy the league table with its sprinkling of Cheese on top this week. It’s the first time Matthew’s team have topped the table in his 11-year tenure so Cheese Makers fans around the globe will be printing this table off and framing it and putting it in their toilet and forever celebrating 1 September as ‘Top of the Table Day’ or something.

Cheese Makers lead into the international break courtesy of one more goal scored than the Muppets, our other 100% team. The Cheese beat YTFIB 4-2. Matthew’s team raced into a 3-0 lead through a Bryan Mbeumo brace and a Joao Pedro follow-up before Julian got back in it with goals from Facundo Buonanotte and Antoine Semenyo. Andrew Robertson’s clean was the one to put his team on top. Ryan’s team needed an Erling Haaland hat-trick to get past Nil Satis. Paul’s team were much improved this week but are our last pointless team. A great strike from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and a goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin were Paul’s two equalisers but Haaland had the last word seven minutes from time.

Ollie and Ian are still unbeaten but both drew this week. Garth Crooks Team of the Week went one-up on SGU through Mohamed Salah’s first time finish but Aaron’s team earned a point with Virgil van Dijk’s clean. Markian drew with the Aardvarks who are one of five teams yet to win this season. Amadou Onana put Ian in front from close range, a fantastic Jhon Duran header levelled the match for Ady.

The Artisans made it two wins out of three with a 2-0 victory over Claymore. Nicolas Jackson had an easy task to score after 25 minutes and Ricardo Calafiori came off the bench to add a clean. Trusted lead four teams on four points. Beef’s team drew 2-2 with the CFJs, also on four points after this week. The Cows had gone 2-1 up thanks to Eberi Eze and Yoann Wissa's second half strikes and it took an Alexander Isak close range effort to grab a point for Trusted.

The Wateringhole drew with San Dimas in a game where both teams scored own goals. Ruben Dias was the unlucky player to slide in the first own goal of the game to put me ahead, Dan Burn lashed into the roof of his own net to finishing the scoring at 2-2. Wheel Madrid and Mega Bucks are off the mark after a 1-1 draw. Paul’s new signing Chris Wood headed him in front early on, Alisson rescued a point for Dave’s team.
