Eleventh summer signing
Graded, and where each side is weakest
Each club's side from the round Cover has enriched, graded on that player's own match rating from the licensed data provider. The weak spot is the unit with the lowest average, which is the honest version of where a club might spend: it says which part of the side graded lowest, not whether anyone is coming. Thirty minutes minimum, and a unit of one is not judged.

FAWThe summer, club by club
From the licensed data feed, with the rows that are not what the column claims taken out. Arrivals are permanent deals only: the feed logs a player coming home from a loan as a signing, and the only way to be sure none slips through is to leave loans out of this column. Loans a club has announced are on the cards above. Departures keep their loans, because a player going out on loan has gone. Bold names carry a club statement.
