Short round up to follow...

Well.........
A pleasing win for Spurs
An expected defeat for Lazio
And Oh Dear! Ruzomberok.......
So rather a mixed week, to say the least.

Very pleased with this week.  Inter seemed relatively comfortable at home. Villa get a point away at The Valley where we were comfortably beaten last season. And although Dresden lost, they didn't get humiliated by Schalke. All 3 clubs still on track.

Premiership

Fulham 7 +2
Plymouth 6 +6
Watford 6 +2
Man City 6 +2
Wolves 6 +1
Chelsea 6 -2

That's what you call a top six, I think I was right in saying this season would be the closest ever...

Championship

Banstead 9 +14
Stoke 7 +8
Arsenal 7 +2
Spurs 6 +2

I might be top but I don't expect that to last because the three teams below me are all looking very strong, and even the bottom six look good on paper, so tough...

Brazil

Fluminense 7 +3
Sao Paulo 6 +6
Cruzeiro 6 +5
Vasco 6 +2
Gremio 6 +1
Santos 6 +0

any bets ?

France

Marseille 9 +15
Nantes 9 +13
Monaco 9 +11
Paris 6 +4

Bundesliga

Bayern 9 +10
Schalke 9 +8
Gladbach 7 +6
Dresden 6 +0

Dresden already into the top four...

Holland

Ajax 9 +11
Feyenoord 9 +7
PSV 6 +6

Got to be one of these three again...

Serie A

Inter Milan 9 +5
Juventus 7 +5
Fiorentina 6 +3
Parma 6 +3
AC Milan 6+2
Roma 6 -1

A couple of surprise top sixxers this season but still along long way to go...

Scotland

Rangers 7 +9
Aberdeen 7 +4
Dundee Utd 6 +3 unmanaged

Rangers looking good early doors since their clearout of over paid foreigners...

La Liga

Barcelona 9 +13
Valencia 9 +9
Zaragoza 9 +7
Real Betis 6 +6
Atletico 6 +3
Bilbao 6 +1 unmanaged

can anybody depose odds on favorites Barcelona ? at least the week three table looks hopeful for the chasing pack, but not sure how long it will stay like that.

Transfers now...

There are a few players being promoted to their parent clubs this week which will be detailed on the TP special action report, but the biggest deal sees Sead Kolasinac leave Villa to join Plymouth in an exchange deal for Granit Xhaka.

Coaching and Finances now...

Happy with my experiment, although I'll need to read through to see.

Bayern next in an ECC week, so resources will be tight!
