Just two Leeds United loanees were in action during the opening weekend of Football League action.
Charlie Cresswell and Jamie Shackleton both featured in Millwall's opening day 2-0 win over Stoke City, with the former bagging an impressive brace.
Cresswell found the back of the net twice, heading home past Stoke keeper Josef Bursik at the Den to give Millwall all three points. The defender put in an impervious performance as part of a back three and will likely get plenty of minutes on loan at Millwall this season.

Shackleton also started the game against Stoke in centre-midfielder. The 22-year-old played 76 minutes in Millwall's 2-0 win, before being replaced by George Saville.
The only other Leeds player currently out on loan is forward Tyler Roberts, who did not play against Blackburn Rovers in Queens Park Rangers 1-0 opening day defeat.There is every chance Roberts would have featured for QPR had he not picked up a slight injury in the week before their match against Blackburn.
"“He has a slight issue that I don’t want to risk," said QPR boss Mick Beale in the build-up to the season opener, which they lost 1-0.
"He did start the week training with us but I didn’t think he looked right. It is the right call for us just to slow down and make sure he is ready."
Roberts left Leeds this summer on loan in the search for regular game time. With the World Cup in Qatar hurtling down the track, the 23-year-old will hope he can get plenty of minutes in his legs with QPR to give himself the best chance of making Rob Page's Wales squad.
