Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 3 goals in 4 appearances for Campobasso.
Scoring charts1 Oct 2026
Marked 7.53 across it, 3 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Campobasso have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Forli
Luca Martelli was marked 7.05 and had a hand in 0 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Rémi Guérin leads the division for assists — 7.25
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 2 of them made by a Torres player marked 7.25, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Cristian Padula is the division's best-marked player — 7.53
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. 7.53 across 4 matches for Campobasso.

Renate come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Sambenedettese did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The Ternana deal is off
Everything was agreed until it was not, and Simone Franchini reports back to Guidonia Montecelio with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

1 goals in 4 appearances for Livorno leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Matteo Stoppa up among the month's scorers
A productive month at Sambenedettese — 1 goals from 4 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

A productive month at Ascoli — 2 goals from 4 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

4 appearances, 2 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Bari come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Arezzo did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Nobody made more than Kevin Martins this month
2 assists, 7.54, and a Sambenedettese 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.

“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 Arezzo, and it is not being withdrawn.

The deal that would have taken Tommaso Maressa to Cavese has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Bra with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

1 goals in 1 appearances for Perugia, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

1 in 1 for Forli. 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 name of Simone Franchini has come up in conversations Guidonia Montecelio were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
Scoring charts1 Sep 2026
Marked 7.35 across the month. Somewhere in this division there are strikers whose goal tally belongs partly to him, and none of them will say so.

Further down the providers' column, where the Pontedera man sits on 7.33 and a month of passes that were harder than the finishes they became.

Michele Avella is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Guidonia Montecelio has been clear about where Michele Avella stands, which is more than many ever get.

The clock runs on Pepín Machín's contract
11 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

The name of Andrea La Mantia keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Gubbio say nothing, which says plenty.
