The opening week of the new EuroLeague season is now a thing of the past, and the same goes for Round 1 in the EuroLeague Fantasy as well.

As is the case with all other users, Eurohoops is trying to adapt to the new circumstances and understand the way the price of players is affected, something that will become more clear in the next few weeks.

In the purely competitive part, the Eurohoops team didn’t have such a great start as it collected a total of 130.7 points, with Kevin Pangos (8.8), Nick Calathes (8) and Jason Thompson (9) not contributing what was expected of them despite the fact that the last two cost over 1 million euros.

For this reason, two of the three (Pangos and Thompson) will be replaced and, with the help of a risky move, the team will be rather strengthened. What is this risk?

In the image below, you can recall the team’s line-up for Round 1.

In order to save extra money, we are going to make the following move. We will replace starter Leon Radosevic with Brandon Davies, who was on the bench, and we will sell the former for the very inexpensive Yigitcan Saybir.

This change has a positive aspect and a negative aspect. We secure extra money for the starters, from whom we get the extra points, but in case Brandon Davies doesn’t play we are going to be scored zero since it’s a fact that the player who is destined to be his substitution (Yigitcan Saybir) will not play with Efes.

Aside from that, we will replace Jason Thomspon with Anthony Randolph and Kevin Pangos with Luka Doncic, completing the three changes that are allowed. The captain’s armband goes to Real Madrid’s boy wonder and Nikola Milutinov will be second in command for this week.

The final line-up of our team for Round 2
