Nil Satis stay league leaders into the international break. Paul S’ team saw off the Muppets 2-1 this week. Bernard getting a rare goal on 19 minutes, firing in from the edge of the box, and Rui Patricio’s penalty save doubled the lead 20 minutes later. Ryan’s reply came from James Tarkowski’s clean but it wasn’t enough. After a setback last week the Aardvarks returned to their early season form with a 2-1 win at Claymore. Two goals from Ollie Watkins in the space of four second-half minutes set Ady up for the win and Clive could only find a Matty Cash clean in response.

Stanley are up to third after putting five past Wheel Madrid where it seems to be feast or famine this season. Paul W’s team has scored four or more three times and conceded four or more four times. It was a conceding week.Wheels took the lead too, Jamie Vardy from the penalty spot after 15 minutes, but the striker missed a second spot-kick after Ben Chilwell had levelled at the far post for Aaron. Wheels did go 2-1 up with 13 minutes left with a flick header from Thiago Silva but it was all Stanley after that. Timo Werner slammed in on 80 minutes, Stuart Armstrong made it 3-2 two minutes later and Alex McCarthy and Arthur Masuaku added clean sheets. The CFJs followed up their 7-2 wn last week by beating a toothless San Dimas 5-0. A brilliant free-kick from Eberechi Eze on 22 minutes was soon followed by a scuffed finish from Tammy Abraham.My team held it at two until injury time when Thomas Soucek’s sidefoot effort was soon followed by Edison Cavani’s first WSFFL goal and a Jan Bednarek clean for Chris and Co.

Mega Bucks slipped to fifth after going down 3-0 at home to the Artisans. Patrick Bamford volleyed in after 27 minutes to make up for his earlier effort that was ruled out by a dubious offside call. Ben had to wait until injury time to clinch the points with a penalty save from Lukasz Fabianski and a Jonny Evans clean. Fred’s team are now upwardly mobile and are sixth after a 3-1 win Le Stade de Fromage. Mo Salah scored a 13th minute penalty and the Gardeners were out of sight by the break thanks to a Bruno Fernandes brace. Matt Targett’s clean was only a consolation for Matthew.

The Wateringhole Society lost ground after a 3-1 defeat to YTFIB. A clever David McGoldrick flick after nine minutes put Julian’s team ahead and then Bukayo Saka and Helder Costa swapped unfortunate own goals before half-time. Charlie Taylor’s clean for YTFIB finished the scoring. Trusted By Millions picked up their first win of the campaign after beating Markian 3-2. A great first time strike by Che Adams was quickly cancelled out by Scott Dann’s header but Beef was soon ahead again with an instinctive turn and first time shot from the fit again Gabriel Jesus. That lead lasted until two minutes from time when a deft Harry Kane header equalised for Ian but Beef took the points with an Adam Webster clean.

We have new leaders in the shape of Nil Satis after defeats of the previous top two (more of which in a bit.) Paul S’ team took the lead against Cheese Makers three minutes after half-time when a hopeful ball from Stuart Dallas missed everyone and found the net. Matthew turned the game round inside 15 minutes thanks to goals from Danny Ings and Tyrone Mings and it took until injury time for Nil Satis to get back on terms. Red-hot striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin poked in and then a Patricio clean secured the lead and all the points. Matthew is off the bottom but possibly without Danny Ings for six weeks. Wheel Madrid jumped to sixth after being the Aardvarks 4-2, the game catching fire ten minutes into the second half when Callum Wilson scored from the spot.Jamie Vardy doubled the lead after 76 minutes then Wilson made it three at the far post with six minutes to go but the Aardvarks hit back straight away through Diogo Jota. Ollie Watkins converted a penalty for Ady three minutes into injury time to pull it back to 3-2 but there was a still time for Jack Grealish to strike from long range to make it 4-2 for Paul W.

Mega Bucks lost their unbeaten record, going down 3-1 to Fred. Mo Salah’s penalty set the Gardeners on their way just before the break and a thumping header from Kurt Zouma doubled the lead. P-E Aubameyang reduced the deficit with a penalty for Dave but Zouma’s clean made it 3-1 and lifts Fred to eleventh. Stanley Athletic are up to a dangerous-looking fourth place after beating Trusted 3-1. Last year’s champions led through Pablo Fornals after 10 minutes but two direct free-kicks from James Ward-Prowse made it 2-1 to Aaron at the break. Timo Werner’s goal 20 minutes from time ended the scoring and sees Beef’s team prop up the table.

The Wateringhole are fifth after seeing off San Dimas 2-0. Harvey Barnes was teed up to open the scoring from close range after two minutes and the next score was when Ruben Dias’ clean made it 2-0. The CFJs ended Markian’s excellent run in style. Harry Kane’s early penalty seemed to confirm Ian’s recent form but a debut goal from Rayan Ait-Nouri levelled the game five minutes later. It was 2-1 to Markian on 20 minutes thanks to Jannik Westergaard’s header but 2-2 at the break when Jan Bednarek claimed an early clean. Chris and Co led for the first time on 73 minutes with Gareth Bale’s first goal of his second spell in WSFFL then the sky fell in on Markian courtesy of cleans from Mendy, Laporte, Ait-Nouru and Kilman.

It was cleans all the way in the Muppets’ 3-0 win over YTFIB. Emerson, Bellerin and James with the counters for Ryan, Julian not able to find last season’s good form yet. Claymore beat the Artisans 4-1 to leapfrog those opponents in the table. Four goals in eight minutes set the tone in this game. Youri Tielemans, Hakim Ziyech and Daniel Podence had fired Clive into a 3-0 lead by the 27th minute before Kyle Walker pulled one back with a long-range daisy-cutter a minute later. Ben’s team could make no further inroads in the Claymore advantage and Tiielemans added a second from the spot in injury time.
