Rodrigo Ramírez is the division’s leading scorer
5 goals in 5 games, and nobody else in the league close to it. Canadian have the man every defence in the division is planning around.
Scoring charts1 Aug 2028
Rodrigo Ramírez is the division's player of the month — 7.76
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 Canadian man on 7.76 with 5 goal contributions.
Market1 Aug 2028
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Basanez have lost him in all but the paperwork.

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Thiago Salvatierra is the month's best young player — 7.13
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.13 over the month and 1 goal contributions, from a Bella Vista player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.
Market1 Aug 2028
“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.

Alexis Vázquez leads the division for assists — 7.23
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 4 of them made by a Canadian player marked 7.23, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Joaquín Fernández will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Deportivo Maldonado the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Rodrigo Ramírez is the division's best-marked player — 7.76

3 in 4 for Deportivo Maldonado. 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.
