Now, hopefully our picks for the rest of the year will make it a November and December to remember and not a Halloween hangover we would like to forget. Here is your fearless forecast for Week 9 — as usual, for entertainment purposes only. (Game lines courtesy of Bovada.)

Fantasy owners always have to factor in matchups when making lineup choices. But opinions on matchups can be formed on things other than cold hard facts. It could be because of a team’s record, a single but memorable terrible game, or another major flaw in a defense. However, fantasy owners should always be vigilant and not assume a flaw (or strength) in one area translates elsewhere. Owners should also be careful to notice changes — an injury or key return could completely change the way a defense plays....

Once designers went beyond headband-wearing karate men like in Street Fighter, their fighting games went into some odd places. Darkstalkers revolved around Halloween monsters. Guilty Gear had bizarre names and features, like Sol-Badguy doing a Roman Cancel against Jam Kuradoberi. Then these fighting games went to a whole new level of weirdness. 10 Fighting Layer Not to be confused with Fighting EX Layer, plain old Fighting Layer was also made by Arika and plays similarly to the Street Fighter EX games....

Welbeck returned to the starting line-up for the match at the Emirates Stadium and wasted an early chance to break the deadlock. His second opportunity saw the England international head straight at Renan Ribeiro, but the striker landed badly on his ankle and left the field on a stretcher. Emery confirmed the injury was “serious” but the Gunners will wait to learn the full extent of the 27-year-old’s issue....

Welbeck has struggled for regular football since joining from Manchester United in 2015, making only 12 starts in the top flight last season. The 27-year-old has often been praised for his versatility and it seems Emery is keen to embrace this quality as he prepares for his first competitive game as Gunners boss. With Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac expected to miss the visit of champions City to Emirates Stadium on Sunday, Welbeck has been trialled as a full-back during training....

Former Porto boss Lopetegui has enjoyed a successful start to his reign with the national team, earning 10 points from four World Cup qualifiers following a 2-0 friendly win over Belgium on his debut. The 2010 world champion faces another tricky non-competitive task on the road this week against an England side which boasts an identical record in qualification, having dispatched Scotland 3-0 on Friday. Spain was a 4-0 winner over Macedonia 24 hours later and Lopetegui is relishing a match against a nation whose football culture fascinates him, despite its recent woeful form at major tournaments....

The employee, who calls herself Naay online, shared a behind-the-scenes clip to TikTok, captioned: “Wendy’s lemonade.” Dressed in the uniform and wearing an apron, she films three tubs filled with a yellow liquid, as she turns to an empty one in the restaurant, in an unknown location. She declares “we’re here to make lemonade,” saying: “I already did them three but basically you just pour this.” Naay’s holding a carton of Hubert’s lemonade, which has lemonade base printed on the side....

The Gunners will be looking to build on their 1-0 victory over West Brom on Boxing Day, their first win in three Premier League games, when the Eagles head to Emirates Stadium. Wenger insists Palace – who drew 1-1 at Watford in Allardyce’s first game at the helm – are a tough test despite sitting 17th and the challenge has been made greater following the arrival of the ex-England boss, who could be without 10 first-team players....

Obviously, matchups play a big part in all of this. Jones took advantage of a good one last week and gets another favorable one against Washington this time around. Cousins, who’s disappointed all year as a game manager, now travels to Chicago to face the Bears. Good luck with that. Mayfield gets a neutral matchup against the Ravens, but his struggles this year (56.9 completion percentage, 3:5 TD-to-INT ration) can’t be ignored....

Unfortunately, two of the easier units to exploit, Washington and Jacksonville, are on bye this week. Usually, the opponents of those two teams either enter the streamer category or upgrade an already strong defense to a top-five play. Instead, fantasy owners will have to navigate this week without that luxury. The good news is no every-week D/STs are off this week, as Arizona and Houston join Washington and Jacksonville on bye....

If you read this column last week, sorry for the mulligan. We had just done a victory lap for hitting on all but two value picks in Week 7 and received a healthy serving of humble pie. When picking under-the-radar players, it happens to the best of us. We did hit with RB Giovani Bernard (22.8 PPR points) and WR Brandon Aiyuk (23.1), but admittedly, there were far more misses than hits for the first time all season....

Shoot Many Robots ‘Customization’ Trailer Shooting robots doesn’t have to be a dull affair. In fact, being dressed up in ridiculous costumes should be the only way to shoot robots. It will help diffuse the horrible realization that you are the one person (or maybe four people) who will stand between total robot domination of the human race. The Shoot Many Robots “Customization” trailer illustrates the kind of outlandish costumes the player will be able to mash together to create the ultimate robot destruction outfit....
