(Belated) Fantasy tips from the Euroleague boss, week 10
Hello everybody, once again this is Javier Gancedo of Euroleague Basketball. First of all, I am sorry I’m a bit late with this column this week.

Fantasy tips from the Euroleague boss: Game two
Hello everybody, this is Javier Gancedo, always from the Euroleague Basketball headquarters. It was an interesting Game 1, after all. I was not very surprised to see Laboral and Madrid losing. Both teams have several injuries and a lot of new players, so an adjustment is needed.

The 10 Commandments of Fantasy Basketball
After another week of fantasy (American) football in which i could only ask, “What the hell happened (again)?” i ascended the mountains here – OK, so in Budapest that should be “gently sloping Buda hills,” but you get the idea – to seek help from a higher power. As it turns out, David Stern wasn’t […]

Attention: The Fantasy deadline is tonight
I was quite a bit shocked when I saw Monday morning that the first game of the Euroleague week was already today.

Fantasy Challenge: Follow your own tips!
Another week is over and once again, my team finished somewhere in the top half of the “middle-of-nowhere” range. Across the board, my players performed well (8 out of 10 were between 9.9 and 22.0) but none went for an extraordinary MVP-level performance. But I have to say that I am happy with the trades […]
NIKEiD Fantasy Challenge: Now what?
Currently, it looks like a lot of decisions have been made in the Euroleague fantasy league. The time to gain sure credits is nearly over, and only a few players are still available at reasonable prices to give you good credit boosts. I’m thinking here mainly about players like Mirza Begic (49 credits) or Sergio […]
