Developments in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League include discussions regarding the Gouden Schoen (Golden Shoe) award and weekly player recognitions.

In late August, a survey of 18 head coaches identified Hans Vanaken and Christos Tzolis as the early favorites for the Golden Shoe, with each receiving seven votes. During this period, ESSE ZEVEN prepared for matchday 4 against KVC Westerlo following a friendly loss to RFC Liège.

By late September, the league released its team of the week for the seventh matchday. Selections included goalkeeper Matthias Pieklak of Lommel, defenders Christian Burgess of KAA Gent and Massiré Sylla of Union Saint-Gilloise, and midfielder Wouter George of OH Leuven.
