Episode 16 of the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge Podcast arrives ahead of a challenging Round 25 with one of everyone’s favorite guests. Sasha Vezenkov, the 2022-23 MVP and current league leader in PIR, joins the show for his monthly “Sasha’s Corner” segment. The Olympiacos Piraeus star brings fantasy managers rare insight, sharing strategic advice and revealing some of his favorite players at every position.
Podcast co-hosts Javier Gancedo and Frankie Sachs of EuroLeague.net, and Sport 24's Vasiliki Karamouza also dive into the fallout from Rounds 23 and 24, breaking down the biggest winners, surprises, disappointments, and outright mystery cases of the double‑round week. One of Vasiliki’s preseason predictions even makes an unexpected return — and reminds everyone that not all forecasts age well.
The crew also tackles one of the most stressful parts of the upcoming round: setting rosters on Tuesday, before the Paris Basketball vs. Real Madrid showdown. With injuries piling up on different rosters, they debate how fantasy managers can avoid being punished by early lock‑ins and lingering injury reports.
The hosts reveal their teams and discuss which coaches to use – with each of the three taking a different coach into Round 25. From safety picks to high‑risk swings, the debate uncovers what fantasy managers should consider when choosing perhaps the most overlooked spot in the lineup.
As always, the episode features the fan‑driven “Get Featured, Get Rewarded” segment, which this week includes a listener question that sparks a debate: Which Greek team is more likely to make the Final Four? And in one of the lighter moments of the show, listeners ask whether Javi bears a resemblance to a certain EuroLeague‑winning coach.
With MVP‑level insight from Vezenkov, lineup traps to avoid, and strong opinions all around, Episode 16 arms fantasy managers with everything they need to navigate a tricky Round 25.
