How risky is it to select a player in the EuroLeague fantasy that is going to play on Real’s home court? But when it’s the Serbian guard of the Turkish team, then everything changes. Bogdanovic was coming back from an injury but he managed to score 16 points and reach a ranking of 20 in the game against Efes, when he played in the second half, essentially.
The Eurohoops fantasy tool predicts the estimated performance of players for you, but the Serbian guard seems like a must. Before we look at the assessments for this week in detail, check out the assessment for the players this week.

The selection of players who have to leave was quite difficult. The first to go will be Georgios Printezis, even though he recovered from the virus that afflicted him and kept him out of the game against Real. Olympiacos do not have any special incentive and so there’s no need for Printezis to be pressed against Efes.
The next player who will be departing is Will Clyburn. He’s coming off a good performance and he’s expected to have a leading role in Darussafaka’s game against Bamberg as well, but a backcourt player has to be “sacrificed” and De Colo, Langford and Singleton are “unmovable.”
Milos Teodosic is consistent in his good performances, but CSKA’s mission at the Olympic Sports Center in Athens against Panathinaikos is not going to be so easy. However, the most discouraging element is the Serbian guard’s tradition at the Olympic Sports Center as a player for CSKA. He has played there four times and his ranking in those games was 5, 2, 17, and 0. So, it’ better if he goes…
After the acquisition of Bogdanovic there are 122,2 credits left and the dilemma is mainly about the guard that is going to replace Teodosic. Dixon is expected to be good even without Sloukas, but choosing two guards from Real’s opponents ahead of the game in Madrid is a risk.
Larkin is a good choice, but perhaps the time has come for Luka Doncic to return for a game that suits him perfectly. Lastly, with 62 credits still available, the option of Tornike Shengelia looks pretty good. Baskonia definitely want the win against Galatasaray and the Georgian forward is expected to bear the burden.
Enjoy fantasy!
