Lampard’s young boys to strike again? Probably! Photo by Chelsea Football Club/Chelsea FC via Getty Images. For thousands of FPL managers, the previous game week was an interesting one to take. The average score of fantasy managers in GW3 was 44; that’s 3 points higher than the mark of 41 in GW2, but still down substantially from the opening week’s 65. However, the upcoming week is the one to get back to business before the international break gives us a breather. The fixtures are relatively better than before as the big guns face the so-called weaker teams, but let’s just keep in mind the North London derby between Arsenal and Spurs that can give tons of fantasy managers a headache beforehand. Let’s get down to it and ponder players who can give us maximum points! Goalkeepers. Kasper Schmeichel (£5.0, Leicester v Bournemouth ) Leicester will look to secure a much-needed three points against a side that has won, drawn and lost in their previous three fixtures. Schmeichel made powerful saves against Sheffield United earlier this week to give them a victory, but a Bournemouth team still looking for goals can help Brendan Rodgers’ side gain a clean sheet. Also, the Foxes have lost just one of their last seven PL matches at King Power Stadium, keeping clean sheets in four of their last five. A team that will have most of the ball during the game will likely create more chances and keep their opponents’ morale low, leaving them zero hopes to even think about putting one behind Ederson’s net. The Brazilian goalkeeper will have hardly any trouble, and has all the ability to grab hold of the ball with a solid defense surrounding him. Expect a clean sheet in this game and a high scoring one for the Citizens. Defenders. Ryan Fredericks (£4.5, West Ham v Norwich ) The English defender has taken the right-back spot from Pablo Zabaleta (£4.4m) and has played every minute for the Hammers. With Teamu Pukki (£7.0m) on the other side, it will be a tough test for Fredericks, but his game after Norwich will be Aston Villa, which can be enough to keep him on the team with a low price. Joel Matip (£5.4, Liverpool v Burnley ) The best part about this Cameroon defender is his cut-price way into the Reds, plus he opened the scoring against Arsenal with the help of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s (£7.0m) cross. Liverpool forces tons of corners and set-piece opportunities that allow Matip to bully sides like Burnley that will find many troubles during the game. However, his position is not entirely secure with Gomez around. Tyrone Mings (£4.5, Aston Villa v Crystal Palace ) Another player featuring every minute for Villa this term, and a defender with such a low price can always come in handy. Mings has provided one assist as well, so you never know what this player can provide, and having him in the team does allow the fantasy manager to have better defenders by his side. Plus, Palace did stun Man United last week but they still look a side who find it difficult to put one in the net. Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5, Man City v Brighton) Zinchenko has cemented his trust from Pep Guardiola, and he is the cheapest full-back for Man City who will dominate Brighton in possession for sure. The young Ukrainian and team have the perfect opportunity to keep a clean sheet in this game since they just have one in their previous three fixtures. Harry Maguire (£5.5, Manchester United v Southampton) After the shocking defeat at Palace, the world’s most expensive defender will be looking to give a rock-solid performance against Southampton. The Red Devils need to perform well and get something meaningful before the international break, so Maguire will show the world what his price- tag brings to a team like Man United. Midfielders. Todd Cantwell (£4.7, Norwich v West Ham) Cantwell has been the silent hero for Norwich, with Teemu Pukki (£7.0) grabbing the headlines by scoring tons of goals. However, the English midfielder has provided two and scored a goal himself in the three fixtures. With a shaky West Ham defense, Cantwell will grab any opportunity given to provide something valuable for the team and fantasy managers. Mason Mount (£6.2, Chelsea v Sheffield United) Despite a minor calf injury, Mount will probably start for Lampard’s side again, and he will have the freedom to revolve around the middle of the pitch. He has scored two goals in two games for Chelsea, and against a weaker Sheffield side, expect something from this youngster to give you points. Harry Wilson (£6.0, Bournemouth v Leicester) This guy has scored in two consecutive matches and is the best player Bournemouth has to offer for now, but a trip to Leicester looks a tough one to play. If you don’t grab him now, keep him in the back of your mind for the near future. Photo by David Price/Arsenal FC via Getty Images. Nicolas Pepe (£9.4, Arsenal v Tottenham ) Pepe showed signs of attacking threat against Liverpool despite a heavy loss. A north London derby is the perfect platform to display his abilities and show why Arsenal paid a club-record fee to grab him. The Frenchmen is in the premium category but offers many roles for managers ahead of the clash with Spurs. Daniel James (£6.0, Man United v Southampton) With Anthony Martial out for at least one match, expect Daniel James to take over the wing and use his pace to supply Marcus Rashford up-front. Having scored two in three games, James will start for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and be useful in generating points for the fantasy managers out there. Bernardo Silva (£7.9, Man City v Brighton) The Portugal international hasn’t really had the brightest returns so far, but a player who has the best work-rate on the pitch will capitalize on any mistake from Brighton. Arguably City’s best player last season, B. Silva will rise to the occasion; it’s just a matter of when. Forwards. Sebastien Haller (£7.4, West Ham v Norwich) Having missing out on GW2 with a knock, the Frenchmen returned with an excellent double at Watford. Haller will be the man to watch, with games against Norwich and Aston Villa next. Only 4.2% of FPL managers own him right now, and that percentage is expected to rise as the week progresses. Tammy Abraham (£7.0, Chelsea v Sheffield United) Scoring two brilliant goals against Norwich last week, Abraham finally showed (in the league) why Lampard prefers to start him. Like Mason Mount, Abraham has a bright future at Chelsea. He will take any chance to put the ball in the net for Lampard’s side, and Sheffield is the team to score against. Raul Jimenez (£7.4, Wolves v Everton ) This fixture is going to an interesting one to watch with Wolves being the favorites yet desperate to secure all three points. Jimenez, who scored one against Burnley, is the target man. Three draws from three games will push Wolves to score in order to stamp their first win of the season. What players are you dropping and adding? Who is worth risking in fixtures such as Arsenal v Spurs or Wolves v Everton? Whom are you carrying who must perform now or be dropped next? Are you planning to go all-in with your wildcard for this week? Are you able to save a transfer to carry past the international break? Please let us know in the comments below. Balwant Singh, India's silent hero. Balwant Singh must like playing against Macau. By now he must also like coming on as a substitute. India needed him at the Estádio Campo Desportivo in Macau in September; they needed him again on Wednesday at the Kanteerava stadium in Bengaluru a month later. Without his impact, India would probably have not qualified for the AFC Asian Cup for the first time since 2011 and for the fourth time ever. On a rainy evening in Bengaluru, locked 1-1 against Macau and with half an hour to go, Balwant made that perfect run, that perfect pass. With the Asian Cup qualification on the line, it calmed the nerves and gave India the lead. Not even considered for the Indian team in his twenties, when he used to terrorize the opposition in the I-League, Balwant, now 30, has had four India appearances in three months, with three goals and one assist. One of those assists gave India a 2-1 lead in Bengaluru. His two goals away in Macau -- India's previous Asian Cup qualifier game -- after a goalless first half gave the team three points. Another of his goals was scored in a friendly; it was a winner. He was a second-half substitute in all three games. India won all three games. Talk about impact. "Balwant, he did the exactly the same thing in the last game when he scored two goals [against Macau]," India coach Stephen Constantine said. "It is a bit disappointing that he didn't score [today]. 'Look,' I told him, 'you have to score two goals, otherwise you are considered a failure.'" Needing a win to qualify -- and with only about 4,000 singing in their support at the Kanteerava -- things weren't going right for India after the first half. The rain was incessant and the crowd moaned as the hosts conceded on the cusp of half-time. In the first 20 minutes, there were crosses from the right and crosses from the left as India launched attack after attack. Sandesh Jhinghan hit wide in the second minute; Sunil Chhetri was down in the box in the fourth but no penalty was given; Chhetri was dangerous again 10 minutes later; a Jackichand Singh cross met no one; Chhetri's free-kick from the edge of the box flew over; Chhetri came close again five minutes later. The rain didn't matter as Macau couldn't get a breather. The reward came from an unlikely source. Rowllin Borges -- who has neither a song nor a chant in his name -- put India ahead. From inside the box, his shot took a huge deflection before going in. 1-0 and "Constantine's blue army" had broken through. Indian players celebrate their win over Macau in Bengaluru on Wednesday. MANJUNATH KIRAN/AFP/Getty Images. But less than 10 minutes later, a cross from the right met Macau's forward Nicholas Torrao and, boom, 1-1. A momentary lapse of concentration from India. Macau's first goal in the competition. For a moment the crowd was stunned. Pin-drop silence. Needing only a win on the night, Balwant replaced Jackichand at half-time. He partnered Jeje Lalpekhula up front and Chhetri went to the left flank. "He [Balwant] was crucial, he put Sunil [Chhetri] out wide, gave him more time, more space, and if you give Sunil more time, he will kick you every time," Constantine said. The turning point of the game arrived at the 60-minute mark. Jeje got the ball, Balwant's hand went up, and in a second he was through. Jeje found his strike partner with the last defender at least a few metres away. Then it was a two-on-two situation with Chhetri on the far end asking for a tap- in. Balwant passed it perfectly and India regained the lead. The tension, palpable until then, was replaced by calm and the floodgates opened. Four years ago, Balwant was nowhere close to playing in the Indian team. He wore Churchill Brothers' maroon -- winning the Indian player of the season award in 2013 -- but always fell short of India's blue. He did make his debut a year later -- as a second-half substitute against Bangladesh -- but nothing after that. Now, after four caps in 2017, he is slowly becoming indispensable to Constantine's squad. The crowd even sang his name as he slowly walked off the pitch. After the final whistle, bottles were thrown, the players celebrated and Constantine even did a dab looking at the crowd. The score read 4-1 and India had qualified for the 2019 Asian Cup. The last time they played this competition, Sachin Tendulkar was still playing cricket and Chhetri was at Chirag United. This Indian team has come far but "everything is going to be more difficult now", as Chhetri said. "This is going to be one of the best teams in the history of Indian football," Constantine said. A history with Balwant Singh playing a small if not critical part in the journey. A silent hero among the many Chhetris of the team. Sports Events. Liverpool overwhelmed Juergen Klopp’s best teammates. In his career at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, Klopp coach has the opportunity to lead many big stars such as Van Dijk, Salah, Lewandowski … Goalkeeper Alisson Becker (Liverpool) : The Brazilian goalkeeper moved to Anfield for a record fee and became the number one stopper in front of the wooden frame of “The Kop”. The certainty of the defense with fulcrum Alisson has helped Klopp’s teachers and coaches win the 2018/19 Champions League and most likely the Premier League this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold defender (Liverpool): The English defender is an interesting finding of Klopp’s coach in Liverpool. Alexander-Arnold is considered by experts to redefine the position of the full-back. This season, he played 40 matches in all competitions, scored 2 goals and had 14 assists. Defender Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool): The Dutchman did not take much time to prove 85 million euros of Liverpool spent for Southampton is worthy. Van Dijk became the cornerstone of “The Kop” defense. Last year, he came second in the race to win the Golden Ball and has maintained a stable performance so far. Defender Mats Hummels (Dortmund): In the 2012/13 season, the German player and Neven Subotic formed one of the best center-back duo in Europe, helping Dortmund reach the Champions League final. Hummels was the leader of the yellow-and-black team defense for many years before moving to Bayern Munich. In the winter transfer window last year, he bid farewell to the Allianz Arena to return to the old club. Defender Andrew Robertson (Liverpool): Robertson and Alexander-Arnold form wings to attack the speed and efficiency of Klopp. Liverpool lost just 9 million euros to get the Scottish defender from Hull City. This season, Robertson played 41 matches in all competitions, scored 2 goals and had 7 assists. Midfielder Jordan Henderson (Liverpool): Captain “The Kop” is known as the silent hero behind the club’s success. This season, new professionals have recognized Henderson’s irreplaceable role in the Liverpool midfield. The England midfielder is on the verge of becoming the Premier League Player of the Year. 3 things to draw after round 10 of the Premier League. 1. Liverpool scares Man City. On the night of October 27, Liverpool faced a tough challenge called Tottenham. As expected, Klopp’s teachers and students were sweating when the north London army opened the score in the first minute. Plus, the Spurs attack is also very impressive with Harry Kane and Son Heung- Min constantly stirring the home side’s defense. However, in the end, The Kop once again showed the bravery and stature of the European champion in difficult moments. Red Brigade after equalizing 52 minutes, ending the opponent thanks to Salah on penalties. With a 2-1 victory, Klopp’s teachers and students won 3 valuable points and continued to keep a 6-point gap with Man City. Importantly, Liverpool also sent the extreme challenge to the green half of Manchester. Accordingly, the defending Champions League has successfully completed the confrontation with the giant group “Big Six”. They beat Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, and MU draw. The home team is only missing the encounter with Pep himself and her on November 10. Meanwhile, Man City only drew a draw against Spurs in the first matches of the season. The upcoming club will have to deal with the remaining 4 big players. Obviously, at a later time, the schedule is denser and the King of England will meet many challenges to bring the full score. And The Kop is more relaxed and is waiting for a heroic match with a direct competitor to the championship. 2. MU continued the excitement. MU still makes the fans concerned about the home team performance after the ups and downs. The march to Norwich is not easy for the club. However, the red army had a convincing answer with a jubilant 3-1 victory over the opponent. 3. Watching out for Chelsea. Chelsea marched to Burnley with intense enthusiasm after a dramatic victory in the Champions League. Before the opponent shown below, The Blues quickly displayed superior strength. Not all, the London representative also quickly crushed the home team 4-0 when the game had just arrived in the 58th minute. Despite conceding 2 goals in the last minutes, Lampard’s teachers and students still won with 3 points. integrity. Importantly, once again, the army of green shirts showed formidable strength after the first few days of deviation. The style of Lampard’s teachers and students has been improved, prospered and methodical. The defense proved to be weak in the middle line, the strikers repeatedly displayed good coordination in the coordination phase. In the last 6 rounds, the London representative won 5, 1 lost. Up to now, the army of green shirts continues to maintain its position in the top 4 with 20 points, and constantly threaten Man City. Certainly, with this style of kick, The Blues will still create surprises on the way. Taxis to honour Righteous ‘Silent Hero’ Poles launched in Parliament. From the Depths send two black cabs to Poland to support elderly people who saved Jews during the Shoah. Facebook Twitter email 178 shares. Joe Millis is a journalist. Holocaust foundation From the Depths this week launched its free car service for elderly Righteous Among The Nations in Poland, sending two London taxis to the country. The two taxis, media sponsored by Jewish News and emblazoned with the symbol of Chelsea Football Club – a major sponsor of the charity – and From the Depths’ “Silent Hero” logo, set off for Poland after the launch in Parliament on Monday. From the Depths founder, British-born Jonny Daniels said: “This is to honour the non-Jews who stood up to save our Jewish brothers and sisters. It was an epic task that was often led to people giving their lives to help Jews.” Daniels said that it was significant that the launch event happened after the eighth Chanukah candle was lit. “The light connects us directly to the Righteous Among The Nations. Their stories symbolise the light of hope in a time of darkness.” After visiting a small town in Poland where he was shown a house where Jews had been hidden and when the owner and most of the family had been murdered for their courage, Daniels said: “It was then that I took it upon myself – and turned into the main mission of my foundation – that we as the third and fourth generation after the Holocaust, as millennial, as younger people, must stand and do something to honour and remember both the survivors, those murdered, but also the saviours.” Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski, who hosted the event, recalled how members of own family in war-time Poland had helped Jews hide from the Nazis. “When I went back to Poland for the first time in 1983… I sat with my aunt who recounted the story of how the brother of my grandfather hid Jewish friends and neighbours on his estate,” Kawczynski said. “One day he was returning and his neighbours stopped and told him not to go back because the Germans had surrounded his farm. He said he had to go back because his wife and daughter were there. “When he got home, the Germans made him take off his Polish officer’s boots, they made him dig a grave and they made him watch as they shot his 12-year-old daughter, then his wife. Then they shot him, and his only crime was protecting his Jewish friends and neighbours.” Poland, he added, was the only Nazi-occupied country where helping Jews was punishable by death. Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck said: “Why would a Premier League football club from south west London start a campaign called ‘Say No To Antisemitism’?” The answer is simple – it is down to one man, the owner of Chelsea Football Club, Roman Abramovich. “All of us have noticed the increase in antisemitic violence… Roman Abramovich has the ability to try to do something about this and he has instructed everyone at Chelsea to put their heads together to come up with ideas and that’s how we came up with Say No To Antisemitsm.” At the core of the campaign is education, because “we believe that education, education, education is the way to make a real dent in antisemitism. We have to explain history.” The launch event was also addressed by Polish Ambassador to the UK Arkady Rzegocki, former Chelsea and Israel coach Avram Grant – who is also honorary chairman of the foundation –BBC journalist Ania Lichtarowicz and taxi fleet owner Farley Freedman, who got involved after a chance encounter on the streets of Edgware.

WWII fallen at Punchbowl eulogized by high school students who learned about them. HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - More than 13,000 soldiers and sailors who died in World War II are buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl. You could call them “silent heroes.” But on Sunday, 13 of those heroes got a voice. One of those heroes was Henry Dillingham of the Army Air Force. Dillingham’s headstone says he was born on April 20, 1918, and died on July 25, 1945. Leilehua High School student Natalianna Ferrara learned a lot more about the army aviator who lost his life in battle in Yokohama, Japan. “Captain Henry Gaylord Dillingham showed a great deal of ‘ho’ihi,’ the Hawaiian value of respect, and ‘kuleana,’ the Hawaiian value of responsibility,” Ferrara told a gathering at Dillingham’s grave site. She also said that Dillingham Air Field on Oahu’s North Shore is named after him. Ferrara and 12 other high school students from Hawaii and the continental U.S. chose a silent hero six months ago in a program known as “Sacrifice for Freedom." They learned as much as they could about them, and then on Sunday, delivered a eulogy for them, giving a voice to each of the fallen at their final resting place. Charlotte Walker, a student at Woodgrove High School in Virginia, was the voice for John Kincaid. “Lieutenant John Franklin Kincaid’s rural roots began just 16 mile from my high school, in Leesburg, Virginia,” she began. Some of those eulogized are well known, such as the late U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye. But most of the others are not. One of them is army Pvt. Yeishun Soken of Waiakea, who had just finished his training when he lost his life after a Japanese torpedo sank his transport ship between Maui and the Big Island. “You know, he’s just an ordinary kind of guy, but he decided to enlist in the military and he decided to serve,” said Soken’s nephew, Patrick Soken. Patrick Soken watched as Waiakea High School senior Neve Enriquez delivered a eulogy for his uncle. “It was powerful,” said Enriquez. “You’ve never met them before but you want to learn everything, every part about their life and you feel like, in a way, you know them.” Some 300 fallen soldiers and sailors from World War II in Europe have been honored this way. This is the first time that students have researched those who lost their lives during the war in the Pacific. It’s an honor for the fallen, and a deep experience for the students and the families. “What we’ve seen with these young people is a real transformation,” said Cathy Gorn, executive director for National History Day, a non-profit that promotes the study of history for younger students. “It almost goes beyond meaningful. It’s emotional. It’s intellectual.” “It’s encouraging," said Patrick Soken. "It’s really encouraging that the current generation is interested in history, and the lessons we can learn from history.”
