(Weekly scores available in attached full table, which now includes full transfer breakdown!)
The Barclays Premier League has got off to a fabulous start, with not just the establised Big 4 as well as Man City and the usual suspects making headlines, but the promoted teams have also all won games (Burnley beating the champions Man United!) and Stoke City currently sit 5th in the table.
In PL SupaLiga, things are very close in these early weeks, so close in fact that the current leader and August Manager of the Month was able to jump from 9th to 1st this weekend - MotM is Salty25, yep that's me, manager of Dynamo Sol!
T_G, last season's runner-up, may well feel somewhat aggrieved that despite scoring more points overall, his transfers have cost him the monthly honour in the last week of the month. Topper could also have been on top were it not for that extra transfer. Only time will tell whether a light-touch or constant tinkering is the route to victory.
Rounding out the top 5, and the all-important UniSat Champions League spots, is stuzeeuk's Paraletic Athletic and malcolm's Toondrastic - indeed, malcolm retains the 5th place that he finished last season in.
PLSL champion mhku is sitting midtable in 13th, while RED United (3rd in 08/09) ends August in 9th but did achieve the highest score thus far - 71pts in GW3.
