Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 5 goals in 5 appearances for Valur.

Gamid Agalarov is the division's player of the month — 8.00
A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Valur man on 8.00 with 6 goal contributions.

Ollie Dewsbury is the month's best young player — 7.01
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.01 over the month and 2 goal contributions, from a Breidablik player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at IBV, and it is not being withdrawn.

Omar Sowe leads the division for assists — 7.64
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 6 of them made by a Breidablik player marked 7.64, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Lúkas Logi Heimisson will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Valur the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Gamid Agalarov is the division's best-marked player — 8.00
The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 8.00 across 5 matches for Valur.

5 in 4 for Breidablik. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

The month closes with Gamid Agalarov out in front — 5 goals in 4 games, and Valur have the division's most feared finisher.
Scoring charts1 Sep 2029
Marked 8.58 across it, 8 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Valur have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.
Market1 Sep 2029
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Valur have lost him in all but the paperwork.

The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.37 over the month and 4 goal contributions, from a Fylkir player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

Juber Pereira hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what IA can pretend not to have heard.
Market1 Sep 2029
The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. IA moved on, Ásgeir Orri Magnússon reports back to IBV, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Nobody made more than Gamid Agalarov this month
3 assists, 8.58, and a Valur player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.
Market1 Sep 2029
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
