Argentina

Boca 15 +18
Estudiantes 15 +12
Argentinos 13 +12 Champions
River Plate 12 +8
Independente 9 +8

Top five all win handsomely to maintain the staus quo, who will break first ?...

Well a great week for the PIAT group and some final chopping and changes across the teams, and a new addition means things might be slowly coming together…

Atletico gave me some nerves at the end, especially as can never write off Barca - but chuffed with a win given they lost their top scorer to injury last week. 

A late PSV goal is good for Twente who quietly keep pushing on ahead…

Well played Ben. 4 titles in a row looking like a step too far this season but it’s still early doors and a long way to go.

Scotland
