Picking up Tomas Walkup didn’t turn out as we expected last week, but those of you who followed our tip and selected Zeljko Obradovic were rewarded.
It’s time already for Round 10 and our addition to our team is one of the most talked about players in the summer market, Panathinaikos guard Kostas Sloukas.
The Greens are riding a three-match winning streak and are playing at home again, this time against Valencia who are showing signs of decline after their initially impressive start.
On one hand, Panathinaikos is expected to prevail in OAKA, so you can trust their players for the bonus that the winners get in Fantasy, and on the other hand we will proceed with the acquisition of Kostas Sloukas, after letting him find his real self in the start of the season.
The 33-year-old Greek guard has found a good rhythm – with the exception of the match against Virtus – and so far he was giving enough points in Euroleague Fantasy, but without being really impressive. His average went up to 11.4 points, but we think it’s time for him to have a strong game and reward us for the 12.8 points we will give to get him.
Alternatively, we recommend the in-form Nemanja Nedovic.
Also, it’s safe to assume that Olympiacos at home will beat Zalgiris, so picking up some of their players is not a bad idea.
We keep the impressive Mustafa Fal on our roster since Nikola Milutinov is still not 100% ready and he is expected to play less than the highly efficient Frenchman in the “five” position
And on top of that, Alec Peters is having a monster season.
He has completely justified his choice, getting him very low in Round 1 – at 8.5 points – when he ended up being the MVP.
Now his price is at 11.9 points and rightly so since he is having an amazing start to the season.
Obviously, he remains on our lineup, but even now he’s still worth investing in if you haven’t picked him already.
In the last three out of four games (excluding Maccabi) he gives +23 points in Fantasy – apart from the bonus wins of Olympiakos – and in any case, he is worth his price
