It should be a busy week for everyone in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague ecosystem. The second two-round week of the week is upon us! That means all EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge managers have two chances to win our weekly prize as well as to climb spots in the standings, both in private leagues and overall. Here are my recommendations for you to enhance your teams in Rounds 6 and 7.
Nick Weiler-Babb, FC Bayern Munich (7.7 credits)
Carsen Edwards and Devin Booker combined for 50 points in Bayern's home win against Olympiacos Piraeus and all flashes were on them after the game. Weiler-Babb had an outstanding, fantasy-friendly performance with 10 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and just 1 turnover for a PIR of 20. In the German League, Weiler-Babb has averaged a PIR of 18.0. Watch out!
Elijah Bryant, Anadolu Efes Istanbul (10.1 credits)
Unfortunately, Efes will be without superstar guard Shane Larkin for 3-4 weeks, so other players have to step up. Rodrigue Beaubois and Elijah Bryant should see more responsibilities on offense and that's good news for Fantasy Challenge managers because Bryant always delivers with extended playing time. In Milan, he had 19 points and 5 assists for a PIR of 22.
Tomas Satoransky, FC Barcelona (10.8 credits)
Satornasky has stepped up big-time since Nico Laprovittola was injured. In last week's game against ASVEL, Satoransky had 9 points on 3 of 4 three-point shooting and 4 assists for a PIR of 10. In the Spanish League over the weekend, Satoransky had 14 points and 9 assists for a PIR of 25. Seeing more playing time should enhance Satoranssy's all-around game going forward.
Facu Campazzo, Real Madrid (16.6 credits)
Campazzo is our superstar of choice this week even if Real plays a pair of road games. Campazzo was truly outstanding against last week Crvena Zvezda, amassing a PIR of 30 (13 points, 6 assists) in less than 20 minutes. In five games, he has averaged 14.8 points on 56.2% three-point shooting and 100% on free throws plus 8.0 assists for a PIR of 25.2. He is at the prime of his career.
Zach LeDay, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (13.3 credits)
LeDay has been solid until now, scoring in double digits in all games. He is averaging 13.8 points on 60.0% three-point shooting and 92.0% on free throws plus 5.8 fouls drawn for a PIR of 16.2. Against Efes, LeDay had a season-best PIR of 24, getting 16 points, 7 rebounds and 10 fouls drawn. Milan plays twice at home and that should help LeDay keep rolling.
