Our EuroLeague Fantasy strategy for Round 30 of the 2025-26 Regular Season is heavily influenced by the high-stakes Greek derby between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos Aktor, with the Reds grappling with several key injuries. Further complications arise from a schedule already disrupted by unexpected postponements. Despite this logistical chaos, our approach remains steady as we double down on the successful picks that carried us through the previous round.
The decision to stick with our top choices from last week is simple. They delivered exactly as promised. Specifically, Nigel Hayes-Davis and Tyrique Jones rewarded managers with 30 and 29 Fantasy points, respectively. There is no reason to drop them ahead of the latest derby of the eternal enemies at the Peace and Friendship Stadium. While Nikola Milutinov is back from his thumb injury, Jones remains the more explosive, high-impact option for the Olympiacos frontline at this stage.
Conversely, Alec Peters struggled in Kaunas, posting a disappointing -3 PIR opposite Zalgiris last week. However, with Sasha Vezenkov still sidelined, we recommend keeping Peters as a viable bench option. He rarely strings together two poor performances and possesses a proven track record of stepping up in intense matchups against the Greens.
Strategic planning will be critical this round due to the postponement of matchups between Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv and Partizan Mozzart Bet vs. Dubai. These suspensions necessitate offloading several high-value assets to avoid zero-point contributions. Fortunately, the game has granted five transfers for this window, allowing for a significant and much-needed roster overhaul.
Beyond the derby stars, Zalgiris’ Moses Wright, Fenerbahce Beko’s Wade Baldwin IV, and AS Monaco’s Alpha Diallo are strong targets for your five changes. For the coaching spot, Pablo Laso is our primary pick, as Anadolu Efes enters a favorable home matchup against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne.
