Going to be 8 points covering the top 10 tonight. Must be the strongest National League there has been?

Yeah, plenty of times previously where players have dropped down from captaining league 1 clubs to play in the conference. League 2’s top scorer last season now in the conference. Madden playing top half of League 1, now in the conference. Captain of League 2 Champions now in the conference. Captain of 3rd place promotion winners in League 2 now in the conference.

None of these players are even in the top 6 so far.

Both Crawley and Fleetwood had some pretty talented mercenaries in their ranks, several of whom had dropped down from League One and of course in the case of the latter, a major upcoming talent in the shape of a young Jamie Vardy.

The difference was then though that they were very much unique cases and both won the league at an absolute canter. That won’t happen this season because the distribution of wealth is more widespread; Wrexham and Stockport are unprecedentedly minted, Chesterfield have got their insurance windfall, Notts County are getting the odd 5-figure gate and then you’ve got the likes of Boreham Wood and Bromley who are very well backed for smaller, less traditional clubs. Woking too I believe have a record budget this season.

I would imagine if you were to sum up total spends for player transfers and wages in this division this year, it would be far and away higher than anything that’s gone before, even allowing for inflation.

I doubt there’s ever been a more competitive fifth tier division.

So in summary, we’re f#cked then?
