Argentina

Argentinos 3 +5
Independente 3 +2
Boca 3 +2
RiverPlate 3 +1
Estudiantes 3 +1 Champions

Argentinos already firing on all cylinders it would seem...

Bloody hell, what a start to the season!!

So many highs and lows just in the first 90 minutes!  Loving the amount of goals around!

Unless I have missed goals - amazing start to the season for all teams - not sure it is going to last but looks like, for now, some of the hard work over the past few turns in bringing players in has worked!

That's an intimidating group of teams - going to be a very tough season!

It was going so well ha! 

3 games in a week for Watford and Botafogo just a little too much! My fault for not paying attention, maybe got a little distracted think I sent 6 turn sheets in this week  .

Good thing its a marathon not a sprint! 

Belgium

Liege 3 +4
Mechelen 3 +4
Genk 3 +1 Champions from the defunct Dutch league
Oostende 3 +1 unmanaged
Antwerp 3 +1 Champions reality manager
Bruges 3 +1

Brazil

Santos 3 +5
Palmeiras 3 +2
Goias 3 +2 unmanaged
Fluminense 3 +1
Cruzeiro 3 +1
Vasco 3 +1

Great start for my old side Santos but against very weak opposition and a tough week for the World Club Champions Botafogo after their long trip to Tokyo for the World Club Cup.

Very competitive league again this year.  Delighted to get three points in one of Flu's toughest games of the season.   Coutinho doing exactly what he was brought in for, to score winning goals!

Premiership

Chelsea 3 +1
Man City 3 +1
Man United 3 +1
Plymouth 3 +1
Aston Villa 3 +1

Jack Grealish should fix his hair more often after a result like that, not a bad time to play Watford though...

Delighted with that result and more importantly Raul Jimenez with his first goal for the club.

Just wait for the return game! 

Championship

Spurs 3 +3
Banstead 3 +2
Newcastle 3 +1
Fulham 3 +1
Tranmere 3 +1

Tottenham have the standout side in what looks like being a super tough division but Wednesday need to take better care of their players else it'll be consecutive relegations for them, you can not ignore stamina...

Pleased with an away point in the end, will be a tough league this year, interesting that the five winners this week were all by the single goal.

France

Paris 3 +2
Marseille 3 +2
Monaco 3 +2
Montpelier 3 +2 unmanaged
Auxerre 3 +1

A super rare home defeat for the Champions Nantes has me hoping I didn't screw up Tom's orders, will check before confirming these results later on...

Absolute shocker of a result in France, hardly any changes from last season so a big inquest needed I think!!
