Your selections for the point guard positions in fantasy are hard, but there’s great trust in Heurtel and Adams, while Hanga remains a must for the perimeter.
Eurohoops league is finalized, the extra teams that several users registered have been deleted (the limit is three teams per player) and, in the end, 1.147 teams will compete for the prize at the end of the season.
Last week was quite bad for the Eurohoops.net team in terms of the harvesting of points, scoring only 91. However, nothing is as it seems. Most of the players on the roster were undervalued and so all the players increased their value (with the exception of Reggie Redding) and, as a result, the team earned 46,3 credits and is now worth 590!
In the short term, the tactic of… “credit hunting” might not be so beneficial, but later on you’ll be able to have the luxury of choosing any player you like, because you’ll have as many credits as you need.
The two obvious choices of the last weeks regarding the guard positions, Schaffartzik and Jovic, had a negative score and so their value was balanced out. It’s hard to change both point guards, but we’re going to do it because no one is convincing that they can produce a good score and retain their value. Schaffartzik plays against Olympiacos in the Peace and Friendship Stadium, and Jovic and his team, Crvena Zvezda, are hosting Fenerbahce, so the power of their opponents isn’t at all appealing either. The third player who is going to depart is Reggie Redding, whose performance was not satisfying at all.
With 146,6 available credits, the first selection is going to be the most undervalued player of fantasy, Darius Adams, who is going to offer a limit up in his price even if he has a negative score. The second choice for the point guard positions is going to be Thomas Heurtel, who is coming from a mediocre game against Cedevita but who can definitely take off again.
For the backcourt positions, our choice is going to be a substitute player from Laboral, Adam Hanga. The Hungarian is extremely underrated and he can provide both score and credits.
The selection of three players from Laboral (along with the also extremely popular and undervalued Bourousis) is unusual, but all three are highly recommended due to the degree of their undervaluation. The selections of Kuzminskas, Claver and Zirbes are indisputable because of their excellent progress so far. Also, Singleton, Boungou-Colo and Hendrix can remain at a good level.
Enjoy fantasy!
