Boy, do we have a strong league! After two gamedays with user EVICROCK leading with his team Timotej (358.7) there are plenty of contenders and also the time for changes. That’s why we are here to help you with.
Many have asked how we can calculate the value of players and what ranking they need to have in order to increase their credits. We explained the formula last season and here’s the link if you are interested.
So, on with the changes. Blake Schilb, Keith Langford and Furkan Aldemir are leaving the team. The Red Star forward has reached his “real” value in credits, so there is a risk in keeping him. Langford will face Real Madrid on the road, so it’s a difficult game and we would prefer to use his credits for a safer choice and also Aldemir is hurt. Our new players are Scotty Hopson from Anadolu Efes, Boban Marjanovic from Red Star and also Josh Carter from Siena. Yes, his team and the player himself have been unstable so far, but they play against Zielona Gora, the weakest team in the league. We expect one more limit up from Hopson and also if Marjanovic has a non negative ranking, he will increase his value.
Enjoy fantasy!
Point Guards
Thomas Heurtel 45,2 (+1,5) credits
His playing time is guaranteed since his team has a lot of injuries and he has the talent to produce even on the road.
Sergei Bykov 29,1 (+3,8) credits
His role is defined in Lokomotiv, he is still a great value for credits solution and this value is expected to rise even more.
Shooting Guards/Small Forwards
Scotty Hopson 66.1 credits
He is emerging as the new leader of Anadolu Efes, his ranking average is still high for his price and he can do damage.
Josh Carter 43,4
He is a kind of a risk, but we explained why we picked him.
Daniel Hackett 82 (+10,7) credits
We got him on our team since day one and he has been a stud since then. Siena needs him and he will produce.
Sylven Landesberg 19.6 (-3,4) credits
He is still a risk, but a cheap one and at this point we can afford it. After all you can’t buy much else with 20 credits.
Power Forwards/Centers
Sasha Kaun 70,1 (+9,1) credits
He is just starting to be near his “real” value in credits, he is still stable on his performance and the game against Fenerbahce/ Ulker can be considered a personal challenge for him.
Alexis Ajinca 69 (+9) credits
Strasbourg’s best player is having a more than respectable season and he will continue being one of the main options of his team.
Richard Hendrix 67,5 (+8,85) credits
He is having a great start of the season and yes, he is still underrated in credits. We would be crazy to part ways with him.
Boban Marjanovic 54,2 credits
One more underrated center with a 23 ranking average in two games. He can be considered a safe choice even in the game against Panathinaikos.
