After a reduced gameweek 35 saw one of the lowest average points scored by managers all season, it is now time to turn our attention to week 36, also keeping in mind the fact that week 37 is a double gameweek. This is a perfect week for managers who have their bench boost chip intact as they can play their wildcard this week to select a large number of players who play twice in week 37 and can activate the bench boost chip next week....

However, in the short number of minutes that he played the Frenchman showed a keen desire to get forward and even managed to grab one assist. It looks like we might finally get to see the full extent of Mendy’s qualities as an attacking full-back and a Fantasy League asset this season. Mendy was fantastic in the first game against Arsenal. He picked up two assists and made many marauding runs forward throughout the match....
You don’t need us to lead you to the top 12 backs — high-usage studs like Christian McCaffrey (@ Raiders in Week 17), Saquon Barkley (vs. Colts), Dalvin Cook (@ Packers), and even Rhamondre Stevenson (vs. Dolphins) remain lineup locks. Sure, ‘Mondre has endured some late-season fumble-itis and Damien Harris (hip) could return this week, but he’s still among the cream of the crop talent-wise and ranks in the top three among RBs in targets....

With still another three-and-a-half weeks to go before the official start of the 2015 season, there are plenty of job battles yet to be decided – many of which won’t be resolved until the month of March comes to a close. Because of that, you need to pay close attention to who is starting to take advantage of their spring at-bats and who is turning the heads of their respective managers....
In our chat, we discuss what Far Cry 3 draws from its predecessors, what genre the game falls under, some of the game’s weapon and progression mechanics and the experience of losing one’s mind when put in a fight-to-survive situation. How would you describe the genre Far Cry 3 falls in? At first, I thought open-world shooter, but now I’m learning that’s it’s an open-world shooter RPG. What does Far Cry 3 draw from its predecessors?...
Regardless, Far Cry is known for having whacky, over-the-top elements and characters that can better suit certain settings than others. The Far Cry series has never shied away from more imaginative settings, though they are usually reserved for spin-off games. For the main Far Cry series, it seems there are two distinct directions to go in: Leaning into the whacky and imaginative elements of the game, or toning those elements down in order for a more nuanced political setting....
That’s because other professionals are willing to do it more cheaply. Under managed care psychiatrists now work in direct competition with psychologists, social workers and psychiatric nurses who also offer face-to-face therapy, sometimes at half the price. Nonmedical mental-health clinicians outnumber psychiatrists 3 to 1. That exasperates psychiatrists, who spend 13 years in med school. ““All you have to do is hang out a shingle and you’re a counselor,’’ says Dr....
The article notes that a Texas cotton farmer is receiving $145 an acre for financial damage related to President Donald Trump’s trade policies with China. But Betsy Jensen, a soybean farmer in Minnesota is receiving $35 an acre. China purchased over half of all U.S. soybean exports in 2017, before the trade war began, but much less corn, and soybean farmers have been particularly hard hit in the dispute....
After that we’ll turn to not one, not two, but three new chipsets that launched this week: the Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 1200 & 1100. All three are being called flagship SoCs, but do they live up to the name? And finally, just days after shooting down a report that it was leaving the smartphone business, LG has issued a memo saying that… it’s considering leaving the smartphone business. Is this really going to happen, and if so, why and when – and what does it mean for upcoming devices like the LG Rollable?...
The Mi 10 Ultra is the souped up new flagship from Xiaomi. China-only for the moment, it packs in a 120x zoom camera and 120W wired charging, making it world-beating in two respects at once. Meanwhile the Surface Duo is the dual-screen Android device Microsoft has been teasing since last year, but next month it will finally arrive in the US – though at $1,399 for some rather old specs, there are plenty of questions about whether it’s worth the price....
Earlier this week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning for Japan, saying “travelers should avoid all travel to the country.” The CDC added that in the “current situation in Japan even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading” coronavirus. A ban is already in place preventing entry to Japan for most travelers, including people from the U.S. The CDC warning is unlikely to change the USOPC’s plans, however....
Police in Baltimore responded to a call about an alarm on Saturday and found a 41-year-old woman who had been shot, and was pronounced dead by the time medical responders arrived. Police then received information that the suspect planned on committing another killing, in Howard County, Maryland, said Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison in a Saturday press conference. At the time, he said police were still working to notify family members of the victims and could not release their identities to the public....
Focusing on strikeouts can help you make the right choice. In particular, strikeouts per dollar spent. Starting pitchers that generate value there often represent the best value overall at the position. Strikeouts are king in daily contests because they’re worth the equivalent of an earned run allowed, and they’re the most predictable pitching statistic compared with innings, runs, hits and wins. The best combination is a strikeout pitcher facing a lineup of strikeout-prone hitters....
Attempting to predict the future requires accurately processing data and here are a handful of data points — some reliable and a few unreliable — to pay attention to moving forward: RELIABLE TRENDS — Running backs in the passing game versus the Falcons. In the history of the NFL, six running backs have caught 14-plus passes in a game, and that has happened twice already this year against the Falcons defense....
It is imperative to look at the upcoming fixtures list when deciding upon one’s transfer strategy in the FPL. A good run of matches can overturn a team’s fortunes who have recently been in a bad run of form and also mellow down the returns of teams that have been performing well. There are some areas that pop up as clear Fantasy no-nos for the coming month. We discuss 5 of the most key and probable ones in this list....

In the most explosive offenses, two or three wide receivers from the same team are capable of having high finishes, like Keenan Allen and Mike Williams last year (both top 15 in standard and PPR formats). While they likely aren’t going to be nearly as potent as they were last season, another example of two wideouts producing on the same team occurred in Seattle. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf finished within the top 20 in both standard and PPR formats....
