The value for money choices in the fantasy challenge are getting less, but Eurohoops is here to help you pick the best players just before the start of the third week in Euroleague.
There are many questions about the credits and which is the formula of changing the value of each player. A player’s price can’t go up or down more than 15% from one week to the next. The price depends on the average score of the player counting on the type: {(price/4)Xgames played}-total ranking. For example, Mardy Collins costs 58,2 credits, he has played in seven games and has a total ranking of 47 points. So, he will keep his price if he has -3.3 ranking in his next game and will score limit up (adding 15% his price) if he has ranking more than 3.2 and limit down (-15%) if he has -9.9 ranking. That’s why he is one of the most underrated fantasy players in that price. He will add to the value of your team almost for sure 8.8 credits.
So, let’s see who the most undervalued players are. Among the point guards, Marquez Haynes distinguishes himself and Tony Taylor follows. Few players can give you credits for sure, so you must predict their ranking. Among the players in the perimeter, after Mardy Collins, there are Nihad Djedovic, Rayn Toolson, Vladimir Jankovic, Alex Abrines, Sylven Landesberg. In the front line there’s Sasha Kaun, Damian Kulig, Jeff Brooks, Andrey Vorontsevich, Luka Mitrovic and Arturas Gudaitis.
Eurohoopsnet team had an average score (89,9 points) but earned 30 more credits and we hope to continue like this. We sold David Logan and Davis Bertans because they didn’t play according to our expectations and also Tarence Kinsey after his injury. So, who will be next to Mardy Collins?
We have 172,8 credits available and we will focus in the best three players in the perimeter. We picked Nihad Djedovic who will have limit up (+15%) with double digit ranking (he will raise his value to 71,5 credits), Mindaugas Kuzminskas who needs +7,2 ranking to reach a limit up (he will cost then 60,8 credits) and Vladimir Jankovic (needs +3,5 ranking for a limit up).
Enjoy fantasy!
