Dave Sarachan, Bruce Arena’s lead assistant coach, has been chosen to serve as caretaker head coach, with the rest of the national team coaching staff remaining intact for the Nov. 14 friendly against Portugal. Bruce Arena resigned as coach shortly after the U.S. suffered a catastrophic loss to Trinidad & Tobago that eliminated the Americans from World Cup qualifying. Arena’s coaching staff has remained on the U.S. Soccer payroll, though, and now that staff will handle running the November camp and friendly against Portugal....

Attenborough’s previous shows are probably the most-loved nature documentaries ever made, so any new series from him is cause for some serious excitement. Here’s everything we know so far about Dynasties, including when it’s likely to come out and how you’ll be able to watch it outside the UK. When does Dynasties start? The first episode of Dynasties – Chimpanzee – will air on BBC One in the UK on Sunday 11 November at 8:30pm....

The former England captain played the last match of a glittering professional career when he turned out for Paris Saint-Germain in a Ligue 1 match against Brest on May 18, 2013. To recognise the occasion, Beckham posted a video of some of his greatest moments – including Manchester United’s 1999 Champions League triumph – along with an accompanying message on Instagram. Beckham, now 45, cannot believe so much time has passed and still has fond memories of his playing days, with his attention now on his ownership of new MLS side Inter Miami....

Although Fournier’s billionaire claims have been disputed multiple times, the entrepreneur is definitely a millionaire. His net worth was reported at around $130 million in 2017. The businessman has his foot in multiple business ventures including fitness, nightclubs and boxing. One of the biggest highlights of Fournier’s business career was that he sold his fitness business to an FTSE100 company and used the amount by investing it into stocks....

What’s the story? Australian batsman and Melbourne Star’s captain David Hussey confirmed his retirement from all forms of the sport after his side’s exit from the Big Bash League yesterday at the hands of the Perth Scorchers who won the match by 7 wickets to book their place in the final of the tournament. They will face the winner of the match between the Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat on Sunday....

BUY ‘EM Starlin Castro (10-for-21, 4 extra-base hits) and Anthony Rizzo (8-for-19, 4 HRs) are both worth the money today against Wily Peralta. Jacoby Ellsbury (6-for-13) and Brett Gardner (5-for-12, 3 XBH) have both hit well against Wei-Yin Chen. Coco Crisp (8-for-25) and Josh Reddick (7-for-21, 3 XBH) have both had a decent amount of success against Jeremy Guthrie. Tommy Medica has been a lefty-killing specialist all year (.305/.359/.559), so he’s worth a stream against Yohan Flande....

Of course, investing in too many sleepers isn’t a suggested DFS strategy, which is why we also list plenty of star players who are worth paying up for. The sleepers are great for tournaments, but the established players are better suited for cash games. You can find a little of everything below, so hopefully you can bring home some cash in FanDuel and DraftKings contests today.

In the early games, Noah Syndergaard (Update: For the second straight day, the Mets have scratched Noah Syndergaard. Matt Harvey will be starting instead.) and Justin Verlander are both great ways to start any lineup, and while they won’t come cheap, they’re clearly the best options. Carlos Martinez is always a boom-or-bust candidate, and you can live with either Edinson Volquez and Jeremy Hellickson. The most interesting matchup is in San Francisco, where Julio Urias is set to make his season debut against Matt Moore and the Giants....

Our rankings are designed to simply rank the starters based on talent level, upside, and matchup. How they work into your budget on FanDuel, DraftKings, Yahoo or whatever site you play on is up to you....

We have some high game totals tonight that I know I’ll be targeting with multiple roster builds in GPPs. There’s only so much basketball left as we enter the last month of the regular season, so I like to reward myself this time of year after I’ve met my DFS goals. Tonight I’m using RotoQL to help me build a few extra GPP lineups to try and hit it big before the season ends....

With three matchups on the board, we find it is easiest to pick out the top producers and values, as there are far fewer variables involved and less ways things can go wrong for your lineup picks. It doesn’t hurt that all three games are being played in domed stadiums this year, either. So, our advice is to load up and play on the greatest day of the year....
