Final Fantasy are the proud owners of our last 100% record. Ceri's team conceded a goal just before the break to the Cheese Makers, a well-directed header from Kevin Mirallas, but cleans from Angel Rangel and Marc Wilson preserve the Fantasy's perfect start. The Muppets slipped up last week but were back on song this. Raheem Sterling gave Ryan the perfect start but he spent half the game 2-1 down to Mega Bucks. Three clean sheets gave Ryan the win and lift him to second. Dave, fed up of losing 3-2, going down 4-2 and remaining pointless.

The Parrots are at a nosebleed-inducing third after victory over last week's leaders Fred West. Leonardo Ulloa headed the Gardeners in front halfway through the first half but an excellent Wayne Routledge scissor kick levelled the game two minutes later, Cleans from Jordi Amat and Erik Pieters were the difference in Dean's favour. The Aardvarks lost their 100% record too as Claymore picked up their first win. Clive's hero was Morgan Schneiderlin who scored both goals and the boss will be pleased he could hang on to him through the transfer window.

FCK2 are still unbeaten after a 3-3 draw with the CFJs. Two more goals from Nathan Dyer had Kevin level after 71 minutes but Graziano Pelle's first for Chris may have given him all three points were it not for a Steven Caulker clean. Still no win for the CFJs. Trusted are unbeaten too after a draw with San Dimas. Steven Gerrard's penalty equalised by Dejan Lovren's clean for me.

The Phoenix exploded into action this week and big-money signing Diego Costa scored at the start and end of the game against Nil Satis. Paul replied through Steven Naismith and Nikica Jelavic so Brian's raft of cleans were all-important. The battle of the bottom two went YTFIB's way. Dwight Gayle scoring in the opening minute for Julian and Jason Puncheon added a second just after the break. Goal of the game (maybe the week) came from former Artisan Mame Diouf against his old club as he ran three-quartes of the pitch to slot home and condemn Ben to a third straight defeat.

Week Two results

Three teams left with 100% records. Fred clearly means business this season.

The 100%ers - Three left with a perfect record and Fred heads them up after a comeback win over Nil Satis. Fred's surprise star was Nacer Chadli who scored twice but he still needed cleans from Kaboul and Azpilicueta to pull off the win. The Aardvarks are next and Ady can thank Stevan Jovetic who struck twice (equalling his total of last season) as he held off Mega Bucks. Ceri makes up the trio after an Angel Rangel clean was enough to defeat the Muppets.

Still unbeaten - After a lacklustre first week FCK2 swept past YTFIB and are fourth. He'll be hoping he can sustain this form after falling away last season after a bright start. The Cheesers are on the same mark after a draw with the CFJs, Juan Mata's goal for Matthew not quite enough, and Trusted picked up the first win of their title defence after Ryan Shawcross bundled in the decider against the Artisans.

One win/One loss - Paul would be on four points (as would Fred) if he'd picked Aaron Ramsey. The Muppets sleepwalked to defeat at Final Fantasy while I join The Dead Parrots on three points after beating those opponents through a Jack Rodwell header (his first goal since 2011/12).

Off the mark - The CFJs needed a Ron Vlaar clean to get a point from their game against Cheese Makers. Diego Costa was on target again for Brian and Stewart Downing equalled his total from last term as the Phoenix took a 2-0 lead at Claymore. Clive hit back through Sergio Aguero and a Pablo Zabaleta own goal to share the spoils.

Pointless - Mega Bucks suffered a second successive 3-2 defeat (wife one week, brother the next!), The Artisans lost a second straight game but at least got some counters this week while Julian's YTFIB are yet to trouble the scorers.

Week One Results

None of last season's top three can start with a win.

First leaders - Are Real Muppets who beat the CFJs 3-1. Ryan had a good tilt at the title before running out of steam last season, can he sustain his challenge longer this time. Super finish from Raheem Sterling in this one too.

First stalemate - We don't get many matches where nothing happens but we started with one. The champions were involved in a bore draw with FCK2. Nothing else to say.

First goal - It was 17 minutes before the scorers were troubled this week. Big-money signing Diego Costa netting for the Phoenix. That was the only piece of good news for Brian who shipped two cleans to the Aardvarks to lose 2-1.

First missed pen - Was by Mark Noble for Mega Bucks at Final Fantasy. This was followed in the same game by the first saved penalty. Allan McGregor was Ceri's hero and earned her team all three points.

First dodge - Was from Clive bringing Wayne Rooney's goal in. It wasn't enough to beat Fred though with new signing Leonardo Ulloa on target for the Gardeners amongst others.

First brace - Saido Berahino notched twice for San Dimas but ended on the losing side. Debut of the day award goes to Eric Dier who scored and kept a clean for Nil Satis to turn this game round and give Paul the win.

First crushing disappointment - The team that notched the joint-most 'counters' last season, the Artisans, got none at all and lost to a Joe Hart clean for the Parrots.

First person whose surname is also a Northern town to get a winner* - James Chester stooped to conquer for Matthew as his side beat YTFIB 1-0.

*OK, I was running out of ideas.

2014/15 Opening Day fixtures revealed

The 2014/15 WSFFL season is a step closer following the announcement of the opening day fixtures on 16 August.

Athletico Phoenix v Aardvark Abacus
Cheese Makers v YTFIB
FCK2 v Trusted By Millions
Final Fantasy XI v Mega Buck Bandits
Fred West Landscape Gardening XI v Claymore Athletic FC
Real Muppets v The Cow-Faced Juniors
San Dimas High School v Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
The Fabulous Artisans v The Dead Parrots

A tricky trip to Furze Fields for the defending champions, an early statement of household supremacy in the Okus Derby and an intriguing test for Fred to see if his level of improvement can continue into this campaign.

The 2013/14 'Value for Money' Table

In the last of the 2013/14 round-up pieces, who got most for the wage money*...

16	Fred West Landscape Gardening XI	30	42	8.89875	4.720

The team that propped up the league, YTFIB, come out top of this one. Julian will be pleased to win something! Ceri picked up a cup with the joint second-lowest wage bill while the 'terribly unlucky' Artisans are third.

The league winners, Trusted, finish eighth and sit in the mid-table with many of the big hitters.

Bottom of the pile are Fred who spent more on wages last season than three teams spent on transfers and whose 8.89m is bigger than YTFIB's most expensive signing.

*If my sums are right - they'll be close anyway.
