Sam Dekker, London Lions (16.0 credits) – He was this page's main recommendation at the start of the game last season and Dekker remains a go-to guy. It is no surprise that Dekker is the most expensive player in the game, as he guarantees points, rebounds and leadership. Dekker should be an MVP candidate this season.
Pep Busquets, Joventut Badalona (4.9 credits) – He played a lot for Joventut in pre-season and has averaged more than 15 minutes on the court in Joventut's first two Spanish League games. Right now, Busquets looks like the best option for less than 5 credits and you know how it goes: in order to afford stars, you need good backups like him.
A.J. Slaughter, Dreamland Gran Canaria (9.6 credits) – We are including Slaughter based on the fact that he can become the EuroCup's all-time leading scorer. He ranks third with 1,418 points and needs 196 to pass Bojan Dubljevic. It should be good motivation for Slaughter to play well and lead the standings.
Karlo Matkovic, Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana (8.4 credits) – Rock-solid centers are the key to success in Fantasy, and you cannot get a much better signing than Matkovic. Last season, he averaged 9.3 points on 63.1% two-pointers and 5.2 rebounds. At age 22, Matkovic is ready for bigger challenges. Expect good things from him.
Karim Jallow, ratiopharm Ulm (9.5 credits) – Jallow took a really important step forward last season and, at age 26, he is a young veteran on a fun-to-watch Ulm squad. He helps on the boards, is a solid shooter and his role should be even bigger this season. All for less than 10 credits!
