It’s hard to swim against the current but sometimes there is no alternative. The core of the best teams in Euroleague’s Fantasy Challenge is almost the same and includes players like Ajinca, Dunston, Mensah-Bonsu, Dragisevic, Hackett and Spanoulis lately. So, the main difference between a good and a very good fantasy player is the timing of chosing those players and specially the point guards you have. Cause this is the real challenge this season. Who can be sure about his two choices in that position?
Eurohoopsnet team changes again the duo. Hickman isn’t so steady and it’s too risky to keep him after his 4 ranking vs Laboral. Arroyo is also a risk (playing in SEF against Olympiacos) but we keep him cause we must buy two underpriced players who seem to be hot. Dragisevic and Micov are a must. Earl Calloway is also a reasonable choice for someone who doesn’t want to risk. He’s Unicaja‘s leader in a crucial point of the season.
Our team costs 643,1 credits and from now on we can afford to focus on the performance of the players like alri and NickD have done so well so far.
Enjoy fantasy!
Point Guards
Carlos Arroyo 50,1 credits(-2,7)
His ups and downs can drive everybody crazy but we give him one more chance to show his talent in a crucial game for Galatasaray.
Earl Calloway 41,1 credits
So far he hasn’t produced a 20+ score but most of the times he has a double digit ranking. Unicaja wants desperately the win against Zielona Gora and he must step up.
Shooting Guards/Small Forwards
Daniel Hackett 83,2 credits (-9,4)
After his almost 100 credits price, he has gone down, but he’s a keeper because he always produce.
Keith Langford 78,4 credits (+4,5)
He’s in great shape lately and although Milan isn’t too steady he scores a lot with good percentages. He can keep his price.
Vassilis Spanoulis 63 credits(+7,6)
We trusted him last week and now he’s a trend again. Olympiacos‘ captain will increase his value again even if the game vs Galatasaray is dangerous for the champs.
Vladimir Micov 44,2 credits
In that -full of talent- CSKA he plays more than 20 minutes in every game, scores a lot and gives many points.
Power Forwards/Centers
Alexis Ajinca 86,1 credits (-6,7)
He’s member of our fantasy team since the start of the game and he will stay for long as soon as he’s too steady,
Bryant Dunston 74,8 credits (-0,9)
He plays almost 30 minutes per game after Simmons’ injury, has 70% in 2ps and thanks to his rebounding skills, his ranking is double than his points.
Vladimir Dragisevic 68,4 credits
He’s too much underpriced and for sure he will have one more limit up with a double digits ranking. He’s in great shape and he can explode again.
Pops Mensah-Bonsu 51,7credits (+6,7)
He’s maybe the most popular player in fantasy. His price was low and still has room for more limit ups. He can make it also in SEF.
