Euroleague Fantasy Challenge

[christodoulou76]

The player prices have been posted on the Euroleague site and so the fun begins.

There is lots to discuss, assuming people want to reveal their thoughts - this is a competition after all.

Which players are steals? Which are overrated? Which position seems weakest and which seems strongest this year?

[Alyosha12]

WOOOOT! Finally!!!

This year the goal is 1 team in the top 100!

[christodoulou76]

a possible team:
PG: Jackson, Shved
G/SF: Carroll, Green, Simon, Oleson
PF/C: Hines, Gee, Raduljica, Motiejunas

[Gonzaka]

Llull 72??? WTF??

[DarkoMVP]

Tough to set prices with all these people like Batum, Gallinari, Fernandez, Krstic coming back.

[UMUT_FB_LAL]

Where can I play this without a Bwin account?

[Alyosha12]

At a quick glance i would say:
Shved has a good price
Chalates as well if DD wont be ready for the first game of the EL.
Mallet is a good option as well.
Woodside is OK, he will prolly be starting for Olimpija.
Rowland looked good in EC.
Lighty may be good.
Gelabale tho i don't know when he will be back from his injury.
Kinsey has been good for Efes so far.
Preldzic is also looking good.
Hairston
Vujacic should be Efes first option.
Nicholas is not too expensive.
Farmar will most likely do better then 15 his first game.
Gallinari
Batum's game is made for fantasy.
Green is Olimpijas first option.
Velickovic seems to be getting some play time this year, so i believe he will do better then 8 his first game.
Begic should get some minutes this year, plus he had a good EC.
Antic may be.
Zoric i'll be keeping an eye on.
Raduljica has been tearing it in the preseason.
Gee Prokoms first option.
Hines is looking good.
Micov has been Cantus first option in the prep games.

Whoa

Cool prices. Batum, Shved, Zoric, Shawn James, Gallinari, Donatas, Predzlic, Akingbala, Raduljica, even Heurtel and Ohayon who start for their teams

Good value at 71 is Ksistof, who should be enjoying a great season

[trepagnier]

Actions are starting with EFC :d

[Illegal2k10]

I would keep an eye on Klimavicius. He is cheap and playing very well lately. Most likely going to be a starter for some time.

I mean,that is unfair.
There are a few people creating majority of teams leaving people like me,with one team,with no chance.
Anyway,my aim is to get my only team to top 10000.
I will abide to my personal criteria as well,like pretending to not give a damn,and following airball and felix,
That alone should bring me to the top 1000

LOL i hope you didn't misunderstand me i won't be making 100 teams, i just want one of my teams to make it into the top 100. I usually make 10 teams. There are simply too many interesting options for me to make only 1.

[Markoishvili]

Ante Masic is underrated. He is Zagreb`s best defensive player and should get atlest 20mpg. I think he can delieved 6-8 rating per game. Not bad for a 12 credits player.

I know what you mean. In past years, I made several teams - this primarily gave me an advantage in the first few weeks. As soon as one team emerges as the front runner, I would then focus most of my attention on that team. But, as you said, this is unfair to those with only one team. This year, I think I will make 2 teams - as Alyosha said, there are just too many options to restrict oneself to one team. But 2 is better than 10 or 15. There is a point after which the number of teams becomes overwhelming and the sense of accomplishment when one of my teams does well is gone. If I made 25 teams and one of them did well, how proud would I be? Not very.

what do you mean by "following airball and felix"? do they have blogs in which they discuss their teams - or do they plan to discuss them on this thread?

Defense in basket = no valoration

a reader of BIE called radallo, did the following analysis:
Today Javi Gancedo from EL headquarter has published the cost of each player in the competition.

Usually his quotes are feasible. Of course summin’up individual values don’t produce a Team value, but, if someone cares, I’ll write down some results from numbers.

NOTE: since teams have different rosters (some team 11 others 15 players.. to have a fair result I’ve set a cut-off value to 9 player, summing credits for the most expensive of each team)

CSKA Moscow 630
FCB Regal 593
Panathinaikos 575
Montepaschi 553
Maccabi Electra 535
Fenerbahce Ulker 527
EA7 Emporio Armani 518
Caja Laboral 515
Anadolu Efes 508
Real Madrid 499
Olympiacos 498
Zalgiris 496
Unics 489
Bizkaia Bilbao Basket 470
Brose Baskets 446
Unicaja 444
Sluc Nancy 412
Galatasaray 403
Partizan mt:s 391
Zagreb CO 376
Bennet Cantu 367
Asseco Prokom 365
Union Olimpija 365
Belgacom Spirou 364

Are there any errors in the system? (On buying or selling players )

[Gonzaka]

Are there any errors in the system? (On buying or selling players )

Yes. I sold a player to change it after making a team and I can't buy anyone.

BTW, is this year going to be any Private League of the forum?

[Mermeri_Disledim]

How many teams can you set? is there a limit?
