Comments
The Dutch derby - No defensive instructions were given from PSV, for me they have to do something about Dembele and Mbappe but going forward both sides look very strong and well organised. In terms of players, I prefer PSV, with Ajax notably weaker at the back.

Comments: Good all Dutch affair, think Ajax edge this one. The formation suits the team but the only criticism of Bam's Ajax is that he should try and play Mbappe more centrally in future, i know Dolberg should play there as well but Mbappe will get higher ratings so i feel like it needs to happen.

Comments
Obviously at such an early stage of the season both sides are a work in progress. Some good players but overall I'll give the edge in terms of players to Socidead, mainly because of ther midfield, and while Abraham is a decent player he isn't good enough in this league. Nice are stronger in defense though. I think Sociedad have set up more strongly with their pressing game and countering Nice's attempt at control in midfield, which goes hand in hand with their better midfield.

Comments: I like the fact that Nice have gone back to 4 at the back. Bakayoko, Koziello and Cyprien is a midfield that will take on most in the league at the moment.

Comments: Think Nando did a good job on Trebs in this game, puts Balotelli off his game and with the forward three has the beating of Treb’s defence especially as Trebs has based tactics on a player who’s injured taking part and that Isak would be main striker.

Comments: Good game, tough to call. As many teams do in the league, they need work. I like Watford bringing in Grimaldo.. Not sure about Semedo at CB though, need to work on that for sure. I feel like Hoffenheim have done well to nullify Ballotelli.

Comments
Obviously Belotti upfront is a cut above many in this league, but then you look at the two defenses and both are reasonable. Two very good goalkeepers also on display, and it makes it difficult to split the two sides on quality. If I could give a draw I would. Looking at the tactics Torino have gone aggressive whereas Marseille defensive. It's tricky to call this, again I'd like to give a draw.

Comments: Torino should have won this game but for me Miky has sneaked a win based upon him doing his homework on tactics whilst Torino is a cut n paste job from week 1. Torino for me are still favourites for the title on paper but I’d be looking to see consideration for the opponents each week.

Comments
Despite some good additions to Celta Vigo in Romeu and Winks amongst others, and an unproven Solanke upfront for Leipzig, I do think the away side have a stronger lineup. Not sure about Tousart's position, I thought he was a more defensive player so maybe the 'boring' 4-2-3-1 would have been a better system. Celta Vigo have a good tactical gameplan and I think edge that. Twosets of fresh legs off the bench and it's impossibel to split the subs.

Not sure if Romeu and Winks fit the team plan of possession football to be honest, other than that the sides decent. for Leipzig really not sure if a player with as little football as Solanke (at first team level) is quite ready to lead the line - can't see him getting much joy..games a draw for me
