Bobby Dixon appears completely transformed in the Top 16, helping Fenerbahce even more. His selection, then, in fantasy will definitely help you considerably.
The American guard of the Turkish champions has a slightly higher average of points, but the biggest difference in his performance results from his impressive growth in the department of assists (6,7 in the Top 16 versus the 3,4 in the regular period) and rebounds (4,7 versus 3,3). Consequently, he now has 19,3 evaluation points per game as opposed to the 11,3 during the regular period. The game against Darussafaka is within Fenerbahce’s reach and so Dixon is going to be this week’s first substitution in place of Nick Calathes, who has been very inconsistent recently and is coming from an injury.
Last week was admittedly a bad one for the Eurohoops.net team, since it gathered only 134 points and the selections of players were not the best possible. But still, the road is long and there is still room for recovery. EVICROCK is still first in the Eurohoops league, but his pursuers are close behind.
Let’s see which players could help the most this week. The toughest line at this time is the perimeter and the selection of Delaney, Shved and Datome is pretty safe as they’re the three most in-form players.
The big question of the week is whether you should select Nando De Colo or not. The French guard is expected to return, but we are going to choose to leave him out in light of his recent injury, perhaps risking a good game that he can have in Vitoria against Laboral. So we’re going to stick with the cheap Spanoulis and make changes in the frontline.
Ioannis Bourousis is showing a small decline in his performance, his selection for a week was not vindicated, while Gist is also going to depart as he has a lot of ups and downs and Panathinaikos’s away game against Lokomotiv is tough.
With 211,7 credits available and Bobby Dixon our first choice for 57,1 credits, there’s still room for two top choices among the centers. The first is going to be Gustavo Ayon, who is going to come on board even though Real are facing Barcelona in the el clasico. The Mexican center is very consistent and he can contribute a 15+ score until the end of the season. The final selection is Victor Claver of Lokomotiv Kuban, who returns to very high performance levels, scoring in many different ways.
Enjoy fantasy!
