The secret in the fantasy challenge is to hit in the right moment. And after Taylor Rochestie’s injury, Tarence Kinsey is a “must”. We have a big dilemma on Goudelock and Marjanovic and we count on Dubljevic and Vorontsevich.
Last week was one the best for Eurohoopsnet team. We gained 18,8 more credits, scored 202,8 points and have 1,193,8 points and have 701,6 credits in total. But we are still far away from the leaders of Eurohoops league, “kijoteloco” and “Lathspell”. Our trades were very good but now it’s the time to say goodbye to Shane Lawal. We thank him for the points and the 14 credits but he’s not that underpriced any more and he faces Real Madrid. Also, we sell Luka Mitrovic though he was in our team since the start of the game and offered us too many points and 32(!) credits! The game on road vs Olympiacos is tough and we will pick someone else to replace him. The third player who will leave our team is Andrew Goudelock. He travels to Barcelona and always it’s hard for anyone to procude in that gym; especially in the perimeter. He will come back soon for sure.
We had a dilemma about Boban Marjanovic because he must have a score around 27 to keep his credits but we risk and we keep him. He’s the only player who still remains in our team since day one. There is no question about D’Or Fischer and Sergio Rodriguez who are getting better and better. Also, Galatasaray plays a crucial game on the road vs Neptunas and Carlos Arroyo will keep shining.
The trade of Hackett last week was perfect and we keep him. Also, Langford had his first non-double digit night in the Euroleague after one year, but we believe he will bounce back against Zalgiris. Also, Spanoulis is sizzling (he proved that also to the domestic game vs Koroivos) and he is expected to have a ranking around 20.
Among the forwards, there are many interesting cases like Sony Weems who is steady and gives big scores every week or Devin Smith who is also in great shape and by far the best player of Maccabi. But we will pick Tarence Kinsey because he has the second best ranking after Rochestie in Nizhny and he is the only player in the perimeter who will shoot and pass more. He must step up against Efes and we trust him.
In the front line there are many good options which we recommend you (McLean, Bilan, Dunston, Hines) but we will go on with Andrey Vorontsevich who comes back to our team after a couple of weeks and Bojan Dubljevic who is steady in almost every game and can give easily 20 points.
Enjoy fantasy!
