So there's this game, Who am I, where you try to guess a Premier League player. The rules are pretty simple, they give you a new player every day and you try to figure out who it is with as few guesses as possible. After each wrong guess, you get a new clue to help you out. The goal is to score points, and the fewer clues you need, the more points you get. A good score is three, and if you can do it in four or five, that's really impressive. The game is set up by Huzaifah Khan from BBC Sport.
Who will exit Chelsea? How Blues could cut 41-man squad
Chelsea's got a big problem on their hands, 41 players on the books and only 25 spots available in the Premier League squad. New boss Xabi Alonso is looking to cut the squad down significantly, with 16 players needing to be offloaded by September.
The Blues have been stockpiling talent for years, but now they're paying the price. They've got a huge number of players on loan or not even training with the first team, and it's causing tension in the squad. Alonso is keen to reduce the number of players not involved, to improve harmony and make the team more competitive.
Chelsea have already started making moves, with defender Trevoh Chalobah close to joining Como for £31m and goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen heading to Strasbourg on loan. But there are still plenty of players up for grabs, including Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, and David Datro Fofana.
In midfield, Enzo Fernandez is available for sale, with a £120m price tag attached. Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia are also key players who could be on the move. Up front, Mykhailo Mudryk is returning from a 20-month suspension and will need to be assessed for fitness.
Chelsea's projected squad for next season looks like this: Sanchez, Penders, Sharman-Lowe, James, Palestra, Tosin, Fofana, Lacroix, Acheampong, Colwill, Hato, Chavarria, Caicedo, Fernandez, Barco, Lavia, Henderson, Quenda, Neto, Palmer, Estevao, Rogers, Gittens, Emegha, Joao Pedro, and Welbeck.

Sean McVay declines to discuss Rams' plans for Australia travel
Sean McVay brushed off every question about the Rams’ Australia trip. He told reporters he’d rather keep the details in‑house and didn’t see a need to share them.
Aaron Rodgers insists he doesn't care about criticism
He recently went on a rant on ESPN, criticizing Dr. Anthony Fauci and the network itself, and now he's facing backlash. Rodgers claims he doesn't care what people think, but his actions suggest otherwise. He recently posted photos of his reconciliation with his estranged family to counter criticism of his past behavior. Rodgers says he did it to put a narrative to rest, but if he truly doesn't care what people think, why would he bother? It seems like he's trying to control the narrative and silence his critics, which doesn't quite add up to his "I don't give a crap" attitude.
NBC addresses Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal during NFL Hall of Fame Game
The NFL preseason kicked off with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game between the Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. The Football Night in America crew from NBC brought up the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal during halftime, previewing the Patriots' upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks. Maria Taylor mentioned the controversy, asking Devin McCourty about its impact on the team. McCourty, a three-time Super Bowl champion safety, said the team looks up to Vrabel when things get tough, but his character has been tested. Mike Tomlin, in his NBC debut, added that winning will quiet the noise if the Patriots get off to a fast start, but if they struggle, the controversy could get loud.
Caitlin Clark takes blame in wild Fever loss to Aces: ‘This can’t happen’
INDIANAPOLIS — It’ll be hard to find any contest this WNBA season that compares to Thursday’s Fever-Aces showdown. Both teams had enormous scoring runs across the first three quarters, then played down to the final buzzer in overtime and regulation. A pair of costly miscues from Caitlin Clark at the end of each segment set up Chelsea Gray for two buzzer beaters, the first to send the game to the extra session and the second to give the Aces an improbable win. “We still battled,” Clark said postgame.
Haynes King leads Panthers to 33-30 win on final play of Hall of Fame Game
Haynes King wasn't drafted despite being the ACC Player of the Year last season. The Panthers signed the former Georgia Tech star quarterback as a free agent, and he showed Thursday night maybe someone should have drafted him. Third on the team's depth chart, King replaced veteran Kenny Pickett with 9:38 remaining in the first half and the Panthers trailing 14-7. King completed 21 of 34 passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns, a 15-yarder and a 5-yarder. He also ran for 39 yards on three carries, including scoring on a 5-yard jaunt on the final play of the game.
