Last week’s picks performed extremely well, with our 197.9 points being a record for this season and setting the bar even higher as we go forward.
In fact, things could have been even better if Kostas Sloukas hadn’t gotten a negative score (-1) in the derby at the Olympic Sports Center Athens against Panathinaikos. Unfortunately, we came across the Greek guard on his bad night in what has otherwise been an amazing season so far.
The three changes for Round 5
The latest round includes several close games and some of them contain “pitfalls” for EuroLeague Fantasy. The first choice, then, concerns Erick Green, who has been putting up mythical performances so far, even though Fenerbahce’s home court is not offered for a high score.
For this reason, he will be replaced with Pierre Jackson since Maccabi’s game against Armani Milan is expected to reach a high score and is offered for a substantial point grab.
Based on the same reasoning, Alexey Shved will replace Kostas Sloukas, with Real Madrid and Khimki being two teams that love to attack and the Russian guard being… an expert in these kinds of games.
The third and boldest change concerns Georgios Printezis! Special recommendations as to the quality of the Olympiacos player are not necessary but in Barcelona, things will not be easy. The Greek forward will give his place to Nicolo Melli in the hope that we will not regret it.
Luka Doncic will, of course, remain the captain and Pierre Jackson will be second in command! Good luck…
