There are some notable instances which have not made it to this list. Rob Green of 2010 World Cup infamy finds himself at Chelsea, Paulinho moving back to Guangzhou Evergrande from Barcelona, Newcastle smashing their transfer record by signing Atlanta FC striker Miguel Almiron for £21 million, and Shinji Kagawa going on loan to Besiktas are instances of just how topsy-turvy the transfer period can be. Here is an XI comprising of the weirdest transfers of the season....

The Arsenal forward went to ground under minimal contact from Ricardo Rodriguez in his side’s 3-1 Europa League win over the Serie A club last week, converting the penalty himself. Gunners manager Arsene Wenger indicated in a post-match interview that he did not see whether Welbeck deceived the officials, while Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso said he would not “judge” English football over the incident. “I haven’t seen it again. I will watch it again and give my honest feeling about it,” said Wenger....

A tent flies through the light beams like a ghost, into the darkness. It’s difficult to see. And to breathe. All my body cavities are filling up with this fine desert dust. Luckily, I have goggles lying next to my pillow. I found them earlier this week while diving on the bottom of the Red Sea. Practical. I wrap my keffiyeh, the Jordanian red-white scarf, around my head, covering my mouth and nose, and put on my goggles....

That is because “Welcome Home” really does a great job of summing up the sports owner experience from both Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ point of view, as well as that of the people whose lives were absolutely turned upside down when the two men decided to buy Wrexham. For fans, this essentially means getting to see the fun aspects that Football Manager can’t quite replicate to alleviate the responsibilities owners face, but most notably it also shows the two actors are getting better at their new jobs....

This article discusses the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for welts. Symptoms of Welts Welts can appear on the skin and come with no other symptoms. They are typically the same color as the skin. However, they can turn red or pink and become itchy. The shape of the welt may be round and small, although it can be randomly shaped and more prominent. Typically welts resolve within a few days, but they can become chronic and recur often....

In an interview with Canal 13 in Chile this week, Sanchez was quoted as saying: “I want to play Champions League. The decision does not depend on me, I have to wait for Arsenal.” His apparent desire to leave the Gunners came after they missed out on qualification for Europe’s elite club competition for the first time in 20 years last season - Arsenal finishing fifth despite Sanchez’s career-best 24 league goals....

Arsene Wenger and his Arsenal side head into their home encounter with Marseille knowing that a victory will seal their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, provided that Borussia Dortmund don’t beat Napoli in Group F’s other fixture. With Marseille having lost all four of their group games to date, a victory seems a foregone conclusion for the Gunners, but Elie Baup’s men have picked themselves up in recent weeks, claiming two victories in their last two games, thus giving them a bit of confidence coming to Emirates Stadium....

Get odds on Arsenal-Leicester The Chile international playmaker reportedly was made a priority target by City boss Pep Guardiola and a deal looked close, with Alexis agreeing terms at the Etihad club. However, Arsenal’s reluctance to sell to a Premier League rival apparently slowed the process and allowed PSG to hold talks with the 28-year-old and his representatives in Paris last week. City remain determined to land Alexis, though PSG are reportedly willing to throw a substantial amount of money on top of whatever the Premier League side offer....

Main event: Auburn at Georgia So, does anybody remember how the last one finished? Auburn faced a fourth-and-18 when Nick Marshall heaved an answered prayer to Ricardo Louis for the game-winning touchdown. The “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry” continues to heat up, and consider this: The winner has gone on to play in the SEC championship game each of the last four seasons. Auburn hasn’t won at Georgia since 2005. As far as crossover games go in the SEC, this one certainly ranks near the top....

You might be wondering, “What does that have to do with the Week 13 fantasy football kicker rankings?” Well, the Patriots are going to move the ball, but if they’re without their best pass catchers, at a certain point drives are going to stall, which means more points for Stephen Gostkowski – already fantasy’s No. 1 kicker. Suddenly, Gostkowski becomes a real weapon. Is it too late to trade before the fantasy playoffs?...

The 49ers’ Robbie Gould and Jets’ Chandler Catanzaro rank in the upper half of fantasy kickers this year, and they both finished in the top five last week. They both get solid matchups this week, as Catanzaro plays in the thin Denver air and Gould goes against the Texans, who have let four of the past six kickers record double-digit days. Even Ryan Succop (@ Cardinals) being on a weak Titans offense hasn’t stopped him from becoming the sixth-best kicker in fantasy this year and our No....

Henry wasn’t the only guy like that in Week 15. Evan Engram and Dalvin Cook also made the perfect lineup, proving it’s never too late (in DFS) for talented players to come through. And the best part is that in daily fantasy, disappointing players are relatively cheap late in the year, whereas in season-long leagues, if you want Henry or Cook or Engram on your team next season, you’ll still probably have to spend a fairly high draft pick....

Players that received encouraging volume Week 1 will be prioritized, particularly where the price adjustment didn’t go nearly far enough.

As we take a look at potential busts for Week 3, we have got a bit of everything. We take some shots at rookies, like Josh Jacobs, and second-year stars, like Baker Mayfield.
