The record board has moved, but only in the small print. Florian Wirtz's 225.0M SVC move from Leverkusen to Dortmund is still the all-time transfer fee to beat. I checked the archive: nobody has clipped it.

The nearest Season 3 challenger remains Bayern's 176.0M SVC buy from Andorra. Tidy money, proper money, but still 49.0M SVC short of Wirtz. The latest big-money tape is nowhere near it either: Alessandro Vogt went from Basel to Mönchengladbach for 23.86M SVC on Sunday morning, only 10.6% of the record and 201.14M SVC off the summit.

Count Watch The transfer-count record is safe as well. Season 2 still owns the traffic mark with 21,206 completed transfers. Season 3 is up to 11,715, which is 55.2% of that record and still 9,491 moves short.

Right, so no fresh count record. No worries. The window is busy, but not record-busy.

Spending Watch The club-to-club spending table still has Barcelona on top: 427.83M SVC across five buys. Bayern sit next on 384.55M SVC, with Salzburg third on 330.34M SVC.

The activity crown has shifted lower down the pyramid. O Shymkent now lead the Season 3 churn table with 20 total moves: 14 in, six out. Amsterdam, Malmö AFG, Dover, Málaga and PU Jos are all tucked in behind on 19.

Scoring Watch England's top-flight scoring race has not broken open. Evan Ferguson is still the named leader in ENG Division 1 with 12 goals for Brighton, after Brighton's 0-0 at Crystal Palace kept the counter frozen. Erling Braut Haaland is still on 11 for Manchester Blue.

No record-blast there, love. Just a tight race with three fixtures left.

Market Watch The market line to watch is not a transfer fee. It is the cap. Soccerverse's total market cap is sitting at 4.993B SVC, close enough to 5B SVC to make traders twitch, but not over the line yet.

The share tape is split: player-share seven-day volume is 1.459M SVC, up 54.9%, while club-share seven-day volume is 952.1K SVC, down 7.5%. Transfer value over the last seven days is 670.38M SVC, down 27.3% on the prior week.

Verdict: no fresh record deal, no new transfer-count record, no scoring eruption. The Wirtz wall still stands. The next proper milestone is the 5B SVC market-cap line.

Count Watch The transfer-count record is safe as well. Season 2 still owns the traffic mark with **21,206 completed transfers**. Season 3 is up to **11,715**, which is 55.2% of that record and still **9,491 moves short**.

Spending Watch The club-to-club spending table still has Barcelona on top: **427.83M SVC across five buys**. Bayern sit next on **384.55M SVC**, with Salzburg third on **330.34M SVC**.
