Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Position: Forward Price: £8.1m Ownership: 10.48% of teams Club - Borussia Dortmund Opponent - Benfica Aubameyang has been on a terrific scoring streak of late having hit five goals in his last five matches. The Gabon international, now the Bundesliga’s top scorer, will turn his sights to the Champions League where Dortmund must overturn a 1-0 deficit in order to advance....

Here’s the thing: Once the season starts, rankings and cheat sheets and all that fun stuff you looked at during your draft don’t matter. This applies to D/ST more than any other position. Only a handful of units are worth using every week, and carrying more than one defense seems like a waste of a roster spot. Mixing-and-matching your D/ST based on matchups is not only a valid strategy, but possibly a preferred one....

In PPR leagues, a running back, wide receiver, tight end (even quarterbacks, but we won’t go there) get either 0.5 or one point per reception. One of the biggest misunderstandings in PPR is determining the value of players whose value jumps tremendously in this type of league. You’d think that the player with the most receptions automatically becomes one of the top guys in the league, but realistically, he’s not....

The addition of both Portal games to the Nintendo Switch came as quite the surprise for many watching the Nintendo Direct. Considering it has been over a decade since the release of Portal 2, many had thought the games to be a franchise that wouldn’t be receiving much attention anytime soon. Also, with Portal developer Valve having its own handheld Steam Deck arriving soon, it seemed strange to allow a competitor to publish a Valve exclusive game....

Those chants may soon grow louder. This week China’s National People’s Congress is expected to announce a ruling that could be a serious blow to the territory’s hopes of picking its own leaders. According to the Basic Law, which Britain and China negotiated prior to the island’s return to the mainland in 1997, Hong Kongers could be going to the polls to select their chief executive in direct elections as soon as 2007....

Surprisingly, the trend of adding third party guest characters to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate came to crashing down as Sakurai showed off Byleth, a character from the recently release Switch title, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The move clearly surprised fans considering the game already has a sizable amount of Fire Emblem characters, many of which who use swords as their weapon of choice. The base roster comes with seven available Fire Emblem characters or eight due to Corrin having male and female options similar to Byleth....

Nobody came to any harm. Unlike on Thursday, when a fan’s camera strap appeared to snag Vincenzo Nibali’s handlebars on Alpe d’Huez, he slammed to the ground and broke a vertebra. The incidents make teams worried fans are getting out of hand on the most famous climbs of the Tour. “The organizers need to think of something, or put up more fences,” Paolo Slongo, Nibali’s coach with the Bahrain-Merida team, told The Associated Press on Friday....

The short video shows Cordeiro opening a champagne bottle with a big knife and doing a happy dance afterward. The cork nearly struck the former Yankees player, who hilariously captioned the post: Watch the video below: Many Instagram users took the opportunity to roast Cordeiro and post nasty comments about the fitness guru. One user compared her to A-Rod’s ex-girlfriend superstar Jennifer Lopez and suggested: Another user said: One user wished A-Rod a happy new year and wrote:...

While Crystal Dynamics recently announced that Hawkeye’s Avengers: Age of Ultron skin would be making its way to Marvel’s Avengers, the developer also revealed something even more exciting: its take on Spider-Man. While it remains to be seen how well he will play, one aspect of the hero that Crystal Dynamics will likely nail is his massive suit lineup. With MCU skins being so popular, and Spider-Man having so many to choose from, fans should expect a whole lot of movie-inspired additions for Spidey....

The Gunners needed to win both of their remaining games for a chance to get into the top four and even then their qualification would depend on London rivals, Chelsea. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s early opener appeared to set the course for a crucial win for Arsenal but a penalty by Glenn Murray equalised the score. The Gunners’ only hope at a return to the Champions League is the Europa League, where they are set to face Valencia in the second leg of their semi-final fixture....

So, it stands to reason that in the dead of winter, some two months before the season starts in Australia (ugh), doing mock drafts passes for a fun exercise among impatient fantasy owners. Yes, we're a strange lot, but the Fantasy Source crew embraces our quirks and not only holds mock drafts in the winter months, but we also talk about them in our Sporting News Fantasy Source Baseball podcast (Download link)....

Who’s not: Matt Kemp was still with the Dodgers at press time. Kemp had three DL stints last year because of hamstring, shoulder and ankle injuries. He’s both an injury and trade risk. Kemp is a draft-day fall guy, but there’s potential value. Who’s hurt: Josh Beckett had surgery that included the removal of his top right rib last July. Beckett went 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA last season, so he has a lot to prove to fantasy owners....

From solid bench members to making your starting 11, these are the pick of the bargain transfers you need to make in October. Goalkeeper - Ben Foster (Watford) £4.5m Games: Bournemouth (H), Wolves (A), Huddersfield (H) Only five teams have conceded fewer goals than Watford this season and Ben Foster has been in great form. Huddersfield are the joint lowest scorers so far and I’d be surprised if there weren’t one or two clean sheets for Foster this coming month....

According to local reports, after seeing their teammate get shoved by the fan, the Danbury players rushed to his aid where they were met by a group of angry hometown fans. Nearly 20 police officers, including local law enforcement, county sheriff’s deputies and state police arrived on scene to sort out the situation that resulted in two Danbury players receiving tickets to appear in court for second-degree harassment. The fan who initiated the scrum also will be charged with harassment, police said....

The Valorant Champions Tour is underway worldwide. However, Riot Games has landed in hot water after implementing an unbalanced tournament format in the European region. After the less than satisfactory execution of the Valorant First Strike in the region, Riot promised to improve the tournament format. However, nothing has changed for the Valorant Champions Tour. The problem with the Valorant tournament format for Europe Valorant First Strike was the first worldwide Valorant tournament organized by Riot, with different tournament organizers for different regions....
