The 7DAYS EuroCup Regular Season returns after the first break of the season, which means that the EuroCup Fantasy Challenge, powered by Ardu Prime, is also back. As always, three trades are allowed before each round, and you can also swap your head coach. Here are some recommendations for your team ahead of Round 5:

**Sam Dekker, London Lions (13.0 credits) –** When healthy, Dekker has to be everyone's go-to guy in the game. He scores in many different ways, helps on the board and came to London to play a leading role. He returned in Round 4 and posted 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists against Buducnost. Dekker remains a must-have player. 

**Jakub Niziol, Slask Wroclaw (8.9 credits) –** After two seasons with Enea Astoria Bygodszcz, Niziol is in his first EuroCup campaign with Slask and playing really well. He's averaged 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists for a PIR of 17.5. Niziol has flown under the radar for a while, but is now proving the kind of all-around player he is. 

Sam Dekker, Jakub Niziol, Yago Dos Santos, Isiaha Mike, and Axel Toupane are featured in this week's article.

Fantasy tips: Regular Season, Round 5

**Yago Dos Santos, ratiopharm Ulm (8.8 credits) –** After a short adjustment period, Dos Santos is playing at the same stellar level he displayed in South America. Over the last couple of games, Dos Santos has averaged 16.5 points, 4.5 assists, 5.5 fouls drawn and a PIR of 20.0. Expect him to play an even more relevant role going forward.

**Isiaha Mike, Mindicelice JL Bourg en Bresse (11.4 credits) –** One of the most pleasant surprises in the EuroCup this season. In the last three games, Mike has averaged 14.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and a PIR of 23.3. Mike is one of the leading players on the only undefeated team in the competition and has a reasonable fantasy price. 

**Axel Toupane, Paris Basketball (11.2 credits) –** Other players get the flashes but Toupane has been solid until now, getting a PIR of 12 or better in all four games. His experience, athleticism and energy give him a lot of fantasy value. He is averaging a PIR of 15.8 without great shooting percentages (45.2% 2FG, 35.0% 3FG), so it can still get better.
