Xavello Druiventak is in the form of his life
A season average of 7.20 with 81 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Tempers go at Yantra
Hristo Popadiyn was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Renilson gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Renilson has just signed for Yantra, and for once the answer mattered.

Andrey Yordanov was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Door shut on Georg Stojanovski

Yantra buy the years ahead of Samuel
He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief

- The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Gennadiy Ganev
- Match Yantra share the spoils with Vihren
