The gang discusses who they like from all four teams – [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/roster/mco/?season=2024-25), [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/roster/ulk/?season=2024-25), [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/roster/oly/?season=2024-25) and [Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-bc-athens/roster/pan/?season=2024-25). How will the potential return of [Mathias Lessort](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/mathias-lessort/003842/) from injury affect things? Where does "Final Four Nunn" rank among "home Nunn" and "new-contract Nunn"? Why does Frankie like [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/) most of all players at the Final Four? And why do they all like [Tarik Biberovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tarik-biberovic/006961/)?

All of these topics were discussed – and more – in the Final Four episode. Take note, while Javi shares some excellent advice about the third-place game, it appears that Frankie has already wrapped up the win in the race between the three of them. So who do you trust the most? With only two games nights left this season, choose wisely with your final picks. And as always, good luck to our fantasy friends. And we'll see you next season!
