A fresh EuroLeague Fantasy campaign at the top of an expanded participating field of 20 teams to increase the total of regular-season games in a double-legged round-robin schedule to 38.<\/p>\n

Eurohoops is back with more tips, advice, and interesting news for every EuroLeague Fantasy player. Also, our loyal friends can enter our league.<\/p>\n

Join Eurohoops-League for a new and exciting season. If necessary, the code is\u00a0109172-YJA0M.<\/p>\n

First, we start with our guys, none other than Sasha Vezenkov and Kendrick Nunn.<\/p>\n

Expensive, but reliable\u2026<\/p>\n

A Fantasy team without the superstars of Olympiacos<\/a> and Panathinaikos<\/a>, the leading candidates for the Most Valuable Player award, is unthinkable.<\/p>\n

Packing double-digit performance index ratings in nearly every showing last season, or constantly in the case of Vezenkov, they are a lock for any Fantasy team. We will be building around them this year.<\/p>\n

What else should we suggest looking into the top half of the opening two-game week?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go with two former teammates:<\/p>\n

Moses Wright
\nThomas Walkup<\/p>\n

The American center of Zalgiris<\/a> moved to Kaunas for a key role in a 23- to 25-minute range, as we expect. His price at 10.5 Fantasy units is excellent in our opinion.<\/p>\n

Olympiacos<\/a> will be in Spain to face Baskonia<\/a> without two point guards, injured Keenan Evans and newcomer Frank Ntilikina.<\/p>\n

Walkup will be the primary ball-handler for head coach Giorgos Bartzokas. At 9.2 units, he deserves our attention.<\/p>\n

Low-cost opportunities<\/p>\n

Fantasy teams can\u2019t only carry expensive players, so we need to consider additional options, looking into cheaper players that can produce points.<\/p>\n

For Round 1 of the Regular Season, three such opportunities are among our tips.<\/p>\n

Devon Hall of Fenerbahce<\/a> Beko at 8.2 units will have a key role under head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius.
\nKamar Baldwin of FC Bayern Munich, coming out of brilliant displays with Georgia in EuroBasket 2025, costs 7.1 units. We believe he has been completely misvalued.
\nSergio de Larrea of Valencia<\/a> is even lower at 6.5 units. He was named MVP of Supercopa Endesa on Sunday and was solid as a starter for Spain in the recent EuroBasket, despite being only 19 years old.
\nMelvin Ajinca of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne is tagged at 5.5 units. We believe will be assigned an important role and will be effective for the French club.<\/p>\n

Must avoid\u2026<\/p>\n

In conclusion, we also recommend staying clear of other players at the beginning of the new season due to their excessive price tags.<\/p>\n

Vasilije Micic costs 15.7 units! After two years of inactivity and poor showings in EuroBasket, compared to his usual self, we consider the charge prohibitive.<\/p>\n

Mathias Lessort is great for EuroLeague Fantasy, but he missed more than half of last season and remains uncleared. Ergin Ataman will lean more on Richaun Holmes for now, so it would be preferable to avoid the French star and his 15.4 units.<\/p>\n
