The Top 16 is starting and, aside from the teams, the fantasy players who can create a new roster from scratch and play for the big gifts are also starting from zero.
The winner of the Eurohoops league in the regular period was EVICROCK with his team “Cycle of the Werevolf.” However, there is still a long way to go and the big winner who will receive the annual prize from Eurohoops will emerge at the end of the season.
One of the most crucial rounds of the game is the premiere of the Top 16, as you have the opportunity to completely change your team based on the credits you’ve gathered during the regular period.
The Eurohoops.net team, with 676,3 credits, has the room to move freely and acquire several promising players. So we are going to pick out the best options for each position and create the roster ahead of the Top 16.
For the point guards, Thomas Heurtel (76,2) and Nick Calathes (66,3) are two safe options, and Milos Teodosic (68,4) is starting to get better again. Also, Stefan Jovic (51,1) and Jayson Granger (47,2) who are in excellent shape are also worth it. Bobby Dixon (48,7) is in very good condition and his price might go up. A low cost option is Khimki’s Petteri Koponen (25,1) who is in good condition lately.
Along the perimeter, Nando De Colo is worth every one of the 97,4 credits that he’s worth, while Alexey Shved (62,8) is a very good option. Luigi Datome (51,1) is in form in the last few games in the Turkish championship with Fenerbahce, as is Bogdan Bogdanovic (42,8) who is much cheaper. James Feldeine is in excellent form (41,7). Mindaugas Kuzminskas (62) seems like he’s getting back to his good appearances, while Spanoulis, even though he’s not back for good yet, is so cheap (34) that it’s impossible for someone to ignore him. By the same reasoning, Navarro (22,3) is another good, low-risk option.
Things are easier with the big men, since one position in every team simply has to be filled by Quincy Miller (55,8), who is still very underrated. Ioannis Bourousis of course remains top-notch as he continues to impress. His price is very high (100,5) but he’s still in form, showing excellent consistency. From there, Ante Tomic (84,1), Gustavo Ayon (80,4), Miro Bilan (74,7) and Jan Vesely (70,9) are good options among the more expensive centers. Also, Victor Claver (62,4), James Gist (57,7) and Daniel Theis (52,2) can form the basis of your teams, with Joel Freeland (50,6) and Miroslav Raduljica (55,2) being riskier options.
Enjoy fantasy!
