The ref blows for fulltime and the crowds stand to applaud some great games. We will be back with the roundup shortly...

A good week all round but clear changes needed in Spain - hard work starts now and some players may start to become available…

A good win for Chelsea at last although expected against a poor Palace side, Braga going well and yet to concede I think, Bate win again

Argentina

Independente 21 +32 Champions
Boca 18 +12
Argentinos 18 +8
River Plate 15 +8
Estudiantes 12 +5

The leaders looking very strong again this week but so are Boca and with Lanzini continuing to inspire Argentinos this looks like a three horse race...

Brazil

Santos 21 +18 Champions
Botafogo 18 +18
Vasco 18 +9
Corinthians 15 +6
Flamengo 14 +6

Sao Paulo in the bottom three, worrying times at Estadio Morumbi, but when you have only 92% squad effectiveness and six players not playing things will go downhill fast...

Premiership

Charlton 18 +10
Plymouth 17 +10
Man City 15 +5 Champions
Banstead 13 +4
Man United 12 -2

The leaders mauled Manchester United this week to confirm their favorites tag but a good win for much improved Plymouth keeps them right in the race. Banstead ride their luck to beat Watford and sit in fourth much to my surprise...

Championship

Spurs 17 +12
Bristol City 15 +3
Liverpool 11 +3
------
Wednesday 11 +2
Leeds 11 +2
Everton 11 +0

Leeds played well to win at Hillsbrough and Tottenham demolished bottom club Wolves but elsewhere points came against the run of play and improvements need to be made in some quarters...

France

Etienne 19 +17
Nantes 18 +16 Champions
Paris 15 +5
Lille 14 +11
Monaco 14 +7

Lille's improved form continued when they demolished Metz and moved up into the rarified atmosphere of the top four, whilst a hatrick from Seferovic inspires Etienne to grab six and stay top...

Germany

Leverkusen 16 +17
Schalke 14 +6 Champions
Wolfsburg 14 +5
Cologne 12 +4
Gladbach 11 -1

"It is as though they are being chased by a pack of rabid wolves as they run for their lives" was how one reporter described Leverkusen's rise to the summit of the Bundesliga, but with two hatricks this week to Savic and Musiala they seem to be doing just fine...

Italy

Milan 18 +11 Champions
Juventus 15 +8
Lazio 13 +5
Napoli 12 +4
Atalanta 12 -1

Inter Milan languish down the table two points above relegation and fans are calling for the bosses head after yet another disappointing week following a drubbing at Lazio. Lazio themselves up to third and looking like they are back to their best...

Scotland

Motherwell 19 +9
Inverness 18 +12
Rangers 15 +5
Hibs 12 +0
Aberdeen 10 +0

Celtic's form improved as they beat Hibs to move up into sixth but the Champions are definitely not at their best just now. Tardelli and Vagner continue to inspire Motherwell but can they keep it going or will they drop off later in the season as they have done in previous seasons. Still all to play for here...

Spain

Real 21 +30
Barcelona 21 +25
Valencia 15 -1
Atletico 12 +7 Champions
Deportivo 11 -5

The Champions seem a bit out of sorts at the moment although they did dominate their game against Valencia so it's not all bad, whilst it's a case of "who will blink first" at the top with the big two neck and neck...

Side looking forward to Eden Hazard and the quality he brings. The manager knows how to push his side. Musiala is thriving in Germany, having moved for more playing time is making the RW spot his own. Fans were cautious after letting the sublime El Sharawary depart.
