      As always, we will start form the coach position. For this round we could not identify a clear opportunity so we will move to the most expensive ones. Our choice will be coach Dimitris ITOUDIS (10.1 credits) as Hapoel needs the win and it plays in its court against Trefl Sopol which is at the bottom of the standings. Another choice, slightly cheaper could be coach Dejan RADONJIC as ULM appears to be very weak during its last games and Bachcesehir would bounce back after its last round defeat even if it secured the first place in its group.

Although again we are facing the fact that the majority of our players play on Turn 2, we could not identify clear bargains so we decided to choose players that either have personal motivation or their team desperately needs the win. Therefore, as an exception of our general rule, we decided to have two Centers playing in Turn 2 of this round. We substituted TOMIC with KUATH (11.1 credits) as Aris appears to be very weak in defending opposite Centers and KUATH is in extremely productive form. During the game of the first round, he dominated with 27.5 PIR and we hope for similar performance.

We also decided to switch PARKS for ESSENGUE (10.7 credits) recognizing our mistake to remove him 2 rounds ago when his status was uncertain. ESSENGUE continues to be very productive and clearly one of the players that has high potential and personal motivation since ULM is already disqualified.

For the fourth change we had various thoughts, even not to use it at all. At the end, we decided to bring in our team the most prevalent Center KABENGELE (17.2 credits) as he is playing a super crucial game in Turkey while our current Center MOTLEY is playing against the Trefl Sopol which may evolve into a blow out game and he may not have many minutes.

We decided to keep DURMAZ as he is still great value for money, HARPER and SIMPSON as they are the best guards in this fantasy league and MADAR as we believe that he will take advantage of the aforementioned game between Hapoel and Sopol to demonstrate his capabilities, similar to the Wolves game. For the cheapest players in our roster, we could not identify an alternative that would worth the trade.

 Good Luck to all and always remember: trust yourselves instead of some random internet website right? Have fun
