Miron Bleiberg has urged Football Federation Australia to take full advantage of a surfeit of A-League expansion bidders and start planning for an 18-team competition now.Two teams will be added in the 2018-19 season to make it a 12-team league, but Bleiberg - who is associated with a Brisbane Strikers bid - sees no reason why the governing body should stop there.Close to a dozen different parties are waiting on criteria to be released by FFA in February before they progress further with their proposals.Bleiberg believes with enthusiasm for the A-League so high at the moment, no strong applications should be turned away.FFA has done an excellent job with the A-League in the last few years. You can see how many bidders there are, it is a hot commodity, Bleiberg told AAP.From what it looks to me, there are a lot of strong bids.So for me, its not enough for FFA to think in the short-term to admit two teams now into the A-League to expand it to 12.They also have to look at the future and also give a guideline about when it will be extended to 14, 16 and 18 so these strong bids will not disappear.Whatever markets suit FFA should be for the immediate future, but the others should also be used to get us to the ideal number.A-League chief Greg ORourke told News Corp earlier this week any new team would have to add value for all existing stakeholders.He also said FFAs primary focus for the next five to seven years would be expansion, determining the right number of teams and the right markets.Its expected FFA will heavily favour teams based in major population centres, like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, to provide the biggest boost to the A-Leagues incoming broadcast deal for this round of expansion.But impressive regional bids from Tasmania and Wollongong will make it a complex decision - which is why Bleiberg wants them to strike while the irons hot.Now is the right time, the A-Leagues doing well - credit to FFA - and everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. Maybe tomorrow that will not be the case, Bleiberg said. David Long Jersey . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times. Jack Youngblood Rams Jersey . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Deacon-Jones-Jersey/ .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. Clay Matthews Jersey . Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions. Joe Namath Youth Jersey . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. The FedEx Cup rolls on this week at Crooked Stick Golf Club. The BMW Championship will feature a condensed field of the best golfers on the PGA Tour all competing for the right to move on to the Tour Championship.Our experts have put together the players they believe have the skills to succeed and provide big fantasy point totals. This weeks panel is comprised of Bob Harig, Jonathan Coachman and Michael Collins, as well as FantasyGolfInsiders Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin.Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.Jonathan Coachman -- Rory McIlroy ($11,900)I am going with the hot hand. At 15-under in his final three rounds last week, Rory McIlroy is trending up. In 2012, he pulled off this double (winning both the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston and the BMW Championship at Crooked Stick) and I think that he can do it again this year. We know that he is a player who has the ability to win win multiple tournaments in a row, and he will do it again.Bob Harig -- Rory McIlroy ($11,900)Its 2012 all over again. Just like four years ago, McIlroy won the Deutsche Bank Championship. Then on a short week, he went to Crooked Stick -- site of this weeks BMW Championship for the first time since 2012 -- and won again. McIlroy found his putting stroke, and Crooked Stick is a big ballpark that suits his game.Michael Collins -- Rory McIlroy ($11,900)Dont act like you think Rory is going to lose his groove in a week. Hes the guy where a short week will help keep his momentum screaming ahead. In talking to him after his win, McIlroy lit up when saying how anxious he was to get back to Crooked Stick and the BMW Championship. That doesnt bode well for the other 68 guys this week.Jeff Bergerson -- Ryan Moore ($8,700)My only concern with Moore this week is his length off the tee, but hes been excellent in every other statistical category that matters at this course. His form over the past month has been tremendous with three top 10s in foour events, including a win at the John Deere and a T-8 last week at the Deutsche Bank.dddddddddddd The last time the BMW was played at Crooked Stick Golf Club, Moore finished T-10. I expect him to continue his solid play and outproduce his salary this week.Zachary Turcotte -- Jason Kokrak ($7,500)Statistically, Kokrak is usually a very attractive fantasy option until you take a look at the number of cuts he has missed this season. His inconsistency helps keep his ownership low despite an otherwise strong profile. However, this week presents a great opportunity to roster Kokrak, as there is no cut and no chance for him to be shut down after a bad opening round. That gives us more confidence to roster a golfer who bombs it off the tee, plays really well with his long irons and can score on par-5 holes at a high level. With two straight top-10 finishes to start the FedEx Cup playoffs, Kokrak has the kind of positive momentum that is important this time of the season.Taras Pitra -- Si Woo Kim ($7,600)Kim followed up his win at the Wyndham with a missed cut at the Barclays (expected), but finished T-15 last week (unexpected) on a course that really didnt speak to his strengths. This week we get a chance to roster someone who has played really well on Pete Dye designs this year (T-9 at the Career Builder, T-14 at the RBC Heritage, T-23 at the Players, and T-25 at the Travelers) at a decent price. He should be considered in all DFS formats as a difference maker in a no-cut event.Jason Rouslin -- Roberto Castro ($6,300)Coming of a strong week at the Deutsche Bank, Castro comes to the BMW only $200 ahead of the lowest priced option. He finished 24th last week and hes got top-5 ability with a second-place finish earlier this year at the Wells Fargo. Look for him to crack the top 25 and make a push to earn his spot for the Tour Championship. ' ' '
