JOIN OUR PUBLIC FANTASY LEAGUE:
Head coach:
At this point we will switch to head coach O. Kattash (5.2 CR) as we expect Maccabi to get their first victory of the season.
Anchor player:
ฮคhe RHH Outsiders relied on the PIR king Sasha Vezenkov (18.1 CR) and he did not disappoint so we are sticking with him.
Centers:
Same goes for Jonas Valanciunas (15.9 CR) who did not impress but for now we are sticking with him. We are now adding an additional reliable center in Aliou Diarra (8.2 CR) who is having an excellent start to the season.
***** IMPORTANT: NEVER use your second center as the 6th man when BOTH centers play in T1!!! In case of a bad game by your main center you will be unable to move one of them to the bench and you will have to keep that bad score! *****
Forwards:
For our other forward positions, we will of course be keeping high flying Azuolas Tubelis (12.5 CR) and we will also keep Nikos Rogavopoulos (4.9 CR) who is expected to return in the Panathinaikos rotation after his cautionary last minute absence in R3! We are also keeping our filler pick Stefan Joksimovic (4 CR) !
Guards:
A long overdue arrival is imperative now as we can no longer ignore Theo Maledon (11.2 CR) who is joining our team, alongside Duane Washington (10.6 CR) acquired prior to Round 3! Another probably overdue arrival is Scottie Wilbekin (8.5 CR) who is having a great start to the season! Finally to close our roster, we will be keeping exciting prospect Fodzo Dada (4.9 CR) one of the most promising young players in the competition!
ROUND 4 VIDEO (S01 E05)
Intro:
What a week that was hoopers! Great games, beautiful basketball, numerous outstanding fantasy performers and of course....setbacks....All over the first -of this years 10- double round week. In R2 the RHH Outsiders scored 195.75 fantasy points, increasing our budget by 2.5 CR, while in R3 136.75 fantasy points, increasing our budget by 0.5 CR. So ahead of Round 5 this leaves us with an ok total budget of 104.6 CR. Not great - not terrible! We had kept 1 CR in the bank to cover any setbacks so now we have some additional flexibility.
We will continue to try and increase our budget, understand team tendencies, players' playing time and rotations. Note that this week is the 1st week where games are scheduled in 3 Turns in a 1-6-3 split!
Here you will find the final lineup of our team, baring any last minute changes!
