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 API-Football match rating. 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 API-Football 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.
