ROUND 10 VIDEO (S01 E09)
Intro:
Another Euroleague double round week is in the books and once more there were many surpeises that are making us re-think strategy. In R8 the RHH Outsiders scored an ok 175.65 fantasy points, increasing our budget by 1.7 CR while in R9.... Elijah Bryant turned onto a Halloween pumpkin and coupled with several underperformances (Clark, Feliz, Spangolo) we only scored 137.3. At least it did not cost us any team credits so we are sitting on our 111.2!
We missed a great chance to climb the rankings as we went from the 527 sport after R8 to 1560 after Round 9 😭😭😭!
We need a bounsback, so Lets see what we are going for in R10 with almost 1/4 of the regular season completed! Round 10 games are scheduled in a 3-turn 1-5-4 split, which can potentially provide 3 possible captains!
For more suggestions have a look at our RHH Podcast and our weekly fantasy episode where we discuss options, strategy and alternatives before tip-off.
***** FINAL line-up will be posted on X before tip off *****
🏆 Round 8 winner: Volos Power
👤 Manager: George Christodoulou
FPT: 188.4
🏆 League Leader: Blossom
👤 Manager: Napoleon Barkis
FPT: 1,500.05
Head coach:
Coach I. Navarro gave us a top score of 25 fantasy points in R9 and we are greatfull as he probably saved the round for us! We will however move him to get coach S. Jaskevisius (8.3 CR) with Fener facing Baskonia after loosing both games last week.
Anchor player:
Τhe RHH Outsiders counted on Elijah Bryant to ultimately create a big 3 with Sasha Vezekov (18.6 CR) -who is returning- and Jonas Valanciunas (16.6 CR) who is already back -since R9! Unfortunately the -6 the delivered makes keeping him super risky after costing us 1 CR!
Centers:
We are keeping both centers so Aliou Diarra (10 CR) is still in our roster. We do think coach Mumbru might be forced to play him more now!
***** 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:
Another keeper with approximately 30min per game atm is Colin Malcolm (9.4 CR), paired with one of our pre-season picks Stefan Joksimovic (4.3 CR) who is expected keep his minutes due to the Baskonia injuries at the forward spots. Rounding out the forward spots, Arjan Lakic (4 CR) remains in as our filler pick.
Guards:
Real Madrid has lost Maledon to injury so Andres Feliz (8.5 CR) is a keeper for now. So in a backcourt overhaul, we are bringing in:
Carlik Jones (14.1 CR) who is expected to massively improve after a terrible double round week at home against Maccabi who are in a bad form.
Armoni Brooks (11.2 CR) who has massively improved his performances and increased his playing time. Valencia faces Milano who seems to be in very bad position atm.
Joel Ayayi (5 CR) will be our differential due to his inreased palying time and performace!
Make sure to check out the full video as we have some VERY interesting graphs / stats for our audience!
🏆 Round 9 winner: Area51
👤 Manager: Nicolaos Kechris
FPT: 216.5
