The new season is coming and Eurohoops is inviting you again to the Euroleague fantasy challenge. Join “Eurohoops league” (password: eurohoops) and show us what you can do, as EVICROCK did last season. Once again the winner of our league in the end of the season will win a special prize.
We inform you that this season, each player will have the right to join our league with no more than three teams and the league will be closed after the week 2 of the regular season. So, if you have joined the game with more teams, pick these with the best start and join our league here!
Each player has its own philosophy but we recommend to pick good players with lower prices that will have some limit ups soon. So it’s better to present our opinion about the majority of the players and then pick our team for the first week.
