The common refrain at the Aishbagh Stadium -- located in the heart of the central Indian city of Bhopal -- if you happen to be within earshot of animated spectators at a hockey match, is dodge karo, goal maro(dodge and score a goal). The crowd knows a drive from a drag-flick, doesnt take back-passes too kindly and is generous in its profanities when it comes to a sloppy defensive line. Legend has it that four decades ago, a Railways team with nine Olympians in it lost a national match to a Bihar team and then had to run to the safety of their hotel rooms, skipping across railway tracks and leaving their equipment behind, to escape the ire of the spectators.Hailing from this city, steeped in the legacy of the sport which can be spotted even in its most forlorn and dimly-lit street corner, 22-year-old Affan Yousuf never questioned its sustained presence in his life. With his father Mohammed Yousuf, grandfather Khuda Dad?and uncle Sameer Dad?having played for the Indian national team, Affan knew it would be a bit of an aberration had he picked anything other from hockey for a living.Making his senior international debut two years ago under Terry Walsh, at the Hockey World League Final, Affan slipped away from the national horizon thereafter. Now, part of the Indian side currently away at the Asian Champions Trophy in Malaysia, he knows that this opportunity would be hard to let go without leaving an impression.The pressure is crushing, admits the forward. I have to perform, he says, Theres no other option. And Affan delivered on Asian Champions Trophy debut, scoring Indias final goal in a crushing 10-2 win against Japan on October 20.Few know his game as closely as a certain Vasudevan Baskaran, who led India to gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics and coached both Affan and his uncle Sameer Dad. Affan is a natural left winger and can strengthen the existing team, says Baskaran, Like we saw in Rio, once SV Sunil was marked theres no play in the left zone and India has little option but to depend on penalty corners. Thats where Affan comes in handy.The transition from an outstanding junior to a reliable senior in Indian hockey has been a challenging one, and it hasnt been particularly smooth for the Bhopal boy. Chief coach Roelant Oltmans insists that while Affan had the talent, he was not picked earlier since his play lacked maturity and needed to adapt a lot more to the team style. I had some performance issues, Affan concedes, I think I needed time and experience to improve.Stressing on the need for Affan to grasp the teams style of play and adapt his approach accordingly, Baskaran says, Oltmans has changed some core ideas in the team, like not to lose the ball and to steer clear of wild passes even if theres no space in the forward line. And instead give it back to the defender and start over. Thats something Affan should learn.Starting out with football in school, Affan then switched to hockey and stayed put. During his early years, his father Mohammed Yousuf, who was a left-winger in the national side was his obvious choice for an idol.He would soon find fresh inspiration in his uncle, Sameer. The uncle-nephew combine led the attacking line together for the Bhopal Badshahs, coached by Baskaran, in the World Series Hockey in 2012. Playing for Air India at the senior hockey nationals a year later, Affan and Sameer, then aged 19 and 34 respectively, scored four out of the six goals in the final against Hockey Punjab. Playing alongside my uncle helped me learn a lot, says Affan, That experience was special and will always stay with me.Bhopal is known to have its own brand of hockey. Aside from their dodging skills, most players from the city are known to be natural left-wingers, who rely almost solely on taking on opposition players in one-on-one situations. The crowd, Affan reckons, isnt swayed by big names -- for them, the quality of play is all that matters. While earlier there was a steady stream of players from Bhopal in the national side, the numbers have dipped in the recent past. This is something that Affan himself ascribes to limited exposure, but his presence in the national setup can only benefit both the city and the player.Affan has all the skills to be a part of the core group of the present national side. In fact, the core group should ideally change every year and not remain the same for four years like in the present setup, says Basakarn, Affans dodges in particular are unbelievable. Hes in fact a lot better than some of the current players like Ramandeep (Singh) and Nikkin (Thimmaiah).For now, Affan is keen to cement his place in the Indian side and carry forward the family legacy with his impact during the course of the Asian Champions Trophy, hoping to help India reclaim the crown they last won in 2011.Ive found this opportunity after a long time, says Affan, This is my chance to prove myself.

Nike Air Max Online Ireland .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. Air Max Ireland Outlet . Marincin has played in two NHL games so far this season with two penalty minutes. The 21-year-old has three goals, four assists and a plus-5 rating in 24 games with the American Hockey Leagues Oklahoma City Barons this season. There is plenty of star power to choose from on the mound Tuesday, as well as several intriguing mid-level guys who are tough to stack against, so youll likely want to piece your offense together from several different teams, unless you commit entirely to the Coors Field game and try to hit big on some low-dollar arms.PitchingEliteDanny Duffy and Justin Verlander are not only two of the best pitchers going Tuesday but they are also squaring against each other in Detroit. With Verlanders teammate, Michael Fulmer, qualifying for the ERA title on Sunday, Duffy sits second in the American League with a 2.82 mark, and that isnt just built on 16 relief appearances (3.00). He has a 2.79 ERA in his 17 starts.Corey Klubers 53 Game Score his latest time out snapped a streak of five straight at 60 or better, four of which were north of 70. Over his past nine starts, he has a 2.13 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 62 Ks in 63 1/3 IP. A bad outing in Toronto (hardly a sin) is the only blemish in that stretch. The White Sox are averaging just 3.6 runs per game since July 1. Kluber had a 7 1/3 IP/1 ER gem against them back in May, when they were actually scoring some runs.SolidI cant keep Noah Syndergaard in the elite tier right now. Hes still projected for a 59 Game Score, but he has reached or exceeded that level just twice in his past nine starts. He has a 4.20 ERA and 1.56 (!) WHIP during that run, with an average of 15.6 DraftKings points and 30.4 FanDuel points. Hes still getting strikeouts, with 57 in the 49 1/3 innings, but its not enough to make him worth the big spend, especially on a slate with 13 arms projected at 55-plus Game Scores.Jason Hammel?draws only a 54 projected Game Score, but hes pitching better than a lot of guys on Tuesdays slate lately. Since the Mets pummeled him for 10 earned runs in just four innings, he has allowed 6 ER in 36 innings (1.50 ERA) with 33 strikeouts and 10 walks. He hasnt allowed a single run in either of his August starts, including one against Milwaukee. Since joining the Cubs in 2014, Hammel has a 2.65 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 54 1/3 IP against Milwaukee.Jose Quintana and Marco Estrada are both unquestionably having good seasons with sub-3.00 ERAs and quality WHIP to support it, but their path to success doesnt always yield comparable DFS success. The duo have topped 30 points at DraftKings a combined four times in 46 starts. Verlander and Kluber each have seven, and even Duffy has five in just 17 starts. Neither Quintana nor Estrada is a particularly big strikeout guy, but they sit at 74 and 75 percent, respectively, in quality start rate, which puts them both in the top 11.Kenta Maeda and Vincent Velasquez are intriguing options, but they are facing each other in Philly. We actually just saw them square off in L.A., with Maeda getting the better end, though neither was particularly useful in DFS. Velasquez was trounced for nine earned, so Maeda drew the win with a modest 5 IP/3 ER showing. Velasquez has the better strikeout rate this year (10.1 to 8.9), but over the past two months, they are nearly even: 9.5 for Maeda, 9.3 for Velasquez.Dallas Keuchel has shaved a run off of his ugly 5.54 ERA over the past nine starts, with the only hiccup coming at Detroit, when the Tigers got him for 7 ER in five innings. He followed that with a shutout of Texas, which gave him a 3.13 ERA in those nine starts. The Detroit outing was the only one in which he didnt throw at least six innings. He still isnt someone youre dying to use in your lineup, but hes back on the table as a passable option, especially with his price tanked from the horrific start to his season.Streamers Young AL East lefties Eduardo Rodriguez and Blake Snell are both gamble options who can put you in position to win big as quickly as they can end your night. They will be low-used arms, but their peaks have been impressive this year. Snell has spiked Game Scores north of 60 four times in his 11 starts, while Rodriguez has three in 12, including two this month.ddddddddddddI wont blame you if you havent been paying attention to Ervin Santana, especially because he had a 5.10 ERA after his first 12 starts. But over his past nine, hes toting a 2.05 ERA with two complete game efforts, including one against the same Braves he faces Tuesday. He has only 44 strikeouts over the 61 1/3 IP, but he has spiked eight twice and has four five-strikeout starts in the past nine.It looks like Jameson Taillon might be catching San Francisco at the perfect time. He gets to face them in their pitcher-friendly ballpark, while they are in a downturn, with a 16-20 record since July 1 and just 3.8 runs per game in that stretch. Taillon is coming off his second 8 IP/0 ER outing, this time against the Padres, and he has allowed just 3 ER in his past 20 IP. He lacks the strikeout upside to put up huge nights, as he has yet to break 30 DraftKings point, but he will still cost you $9,100 over there. I cant completely ignore him, but I think there are better uses of your budget on a full slate Tuesday. Plus, this Giants offense can still be dangerous.Anthony DeSclafani has allowed more than 3 ER just once this year (5 ER at San Francisco three weeks ago -- see? dangerous), but he didnt start his season until June 10, so it is just 12 starts so far. After fanning just two in each of his first starts, he notched five or more in nine of his past 10. In short, hes a solid SP2 option.AvoidGio Gonzalez will have a hard time staying hot with a trip to Coors. He has a 3.00 ERA in his past seven starts and has allowed more than three earned just once, but I wouldnt mess with the lefty in Colorado. The second you start trusting Michael Pineda is the second he drops five earned on your face.HittingColorado has gotten some decent pitching this year, but it hasnt been from Chad Bettis. He has an ERA north of 5.00 both home and away, so the Nationals will no doubt be licking their chops for the series opener. Maybe a trip to Coors is what Bryce Harper needs to get back on track? Daniel Murphy, Wilson Ramos?and Anthony Rendon will be heavily considered by most. Jayson Werth has a 42-game on-base streak going but just a .682 OPS against righties this year.The Reds draw the second highest overall rating on the day, as they get Jose Urena, but who are you dying to use besides?Joey Votto? Maybe Adam Duvall? Perhaps the sneaky pairing with Votto is Tucker Barnhart. He has a .740 OPS against right-handers this year, 86 points higher than against lefties.A battle between Andrew Triggs and Lucas Harrell is ripe for fantasy goodness, but there just arent many guys beyond Khris Davis whom Im interested in for Oakland, so Im focused on Texas here. Nomar Mazara has been a righty killer this year, so Ill definitely be looking at him along with other lefties, Mitch Moreland and Rougned Odor. Ian Desmond has done his best work against lefties, but his .772 OPS against righties with 14 HRs (out of 20 total) against righties keeps him viable against anyone.If you want to spend on pitching in lieu of the Coors hitting, the Seattle Mariners are a great target for offense. Jhoulys Chacin has been a nightmare with the Angels (6.00 ERA in 72 IP), and a lefty-heavy lineup such as Seattles is only going to exacerbate the situation. Robinson Cano, Kyle Seager, Adam Lind, Leonys Martin?and Seth Smith are all on the radar. I wouldnt rule out right-handed Nelson Cruz, who has an .848 OPS against right-handers this year, with 15 of his 29 homers.Most likely to go yard: Brian DozierHe had just five home runs through May but has clubbed 21 since June 1. He has hit 18 of his 26 homers against righties, too. Good luck, Joel De La Cruz.Most likely to swipe a bag: Travis JankowskiHe has already swiped 25 bases in just 235 plate appearances this season, and neither Bobby Wilson nor Luke Maile is good at stifling base runners for Tampa Bay.
