Euroleague punished Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Mirza Begic and Giorgos Printezis changing completely not only Galatasaray‘s and Olympiacos‘ plans. Most of the fantasy players have built their teams with Pops there, so all of them have to search for another player who can give so many points and credits every week. He’s still underpriced and when he will come back, he will be for sure member of our TOP 16 team.
Moreover, Real allows its opponents to have only 51,7 credits per game. Milan will try to be the exception to that rule but it’s not easy. Although Langford is too hot, it’s not the perfect time to trust him. Also, Arroyo must leave the team because he is extremely unstable.
The regular season goes to the end, so we try to pick players who have big motivation and must lead their teams to the win. Diamantidis and Schilb play against each other in the “final” in OAKA and Hendrix will try to secure the first place for Lokomotiv.
Enjoy fantasy!
Point Guards
Dimitris Diamantidis 66,7 credits
Panathinaikos‘ captain plays a lot, has poor percentages but his numbers prove that he is one of the few sure solutions in point guard position.
Earl Calloway 40,9 credits (-0,2)
Unicaja‘s back is against the wall and Calloway is one of the few players who have the experience to lead them against Galatasaray.
Shooting Guards/Small Forwards
Daniel Hackett 89,5 credits (+6,3)
He has 21,5 ranking per game and for sure in the crucial game against Zielona Gora, Siena’s leader will be again a sure solution.
Vassilis Spanoulis 59 credits (-4)
Olympiacos has secured the first place but the captain will step up in the first game without the towers, Printezis and Begic.
Blake Schilb 54,1 credits
Red Star plays a do or die game in OAKA and Schilb is the guy-to-go for the Serbians. He does a lot of things in the court and can give points in many different ways.
Vladimir Micov 50,9 credits (+6,7)
CSKA has a tough game vs Fenerbahce but the Serbian forward is so steady lately, that it’s a secure cheap choice.
Power Forwards/Centers
Alexis Ajinca 85,8 credits (-0,3)
He has the best ranking per game among the big guys and his numbers are so high that it’s a suicide to sell him.
Vladimir Dragisevic 78,7 credits (+10,3)
After the first game of the season, the Montenegrin power forward hasn’t finished any game with less than 18 ranking. Against Siena, the worst team in post defense, he will shine again.
Richard Hendrix 76,8 credits
Shawn James is in injured ans Sofo can’t follow for so long the athletic skills of Hendrix and Brown. So, we except a very good game from them.
Bryant Dunston 75,4 credits (+0,6)
He used to play almost 26 minutes per game but after Printezis’ and Begic’ punishments he will play more, shoot more, will get more rebounds and so on…
