HIGH VOLTAGE
Obvious Targets
After the fiasco of Round 4, High Voltage turns to the most obvious choices on the market.
Published: 16/10/2025 15:02
It’s a fact that Murphy’s Law can fully apply to Fantasy as well. That’s exactly what happened to High Voltage over the past couple of days, as the disastrous consequences of the forced reshuffling due to Horton Tucker’s injury finally came full circle last night. Just 7.7 points from Oturu (instead of Motiejunas’s 20.9 — not to mention the financial losses), 23 points from Moore (the “cover star” of last week) that ...never came, and to top it all off, Forrest’s injury early in the third quarter — though he still managed 13 points in only 11:13 of action. How much worse could it get?
A lot of that could have been avoided if the only change in the plan had been the arrival of Tabellini (a smooth 20 against Baskonia) instead of Saras. In that case, Murphy’s Law would be ...invisible in this discussion. The team would have earned far more with a single “dribble move” and would now be sitting much higher than 26,607th place, where it plummeted after Round 4, posting the disappointing total of 75.95 points (577.75 overall) and losing 1.3 credits from its budget. Of course, when the initial plan was solid to begin with (except for Saras, naturally), grumbling is inevitable.
But we move on — Round 5 begins in just a few hours. The short window doesn’t allow much ...reprogramming, so the focus shifts to obvious targets who can immediately come in and stabilize the team — the “forest” will be dealt with next week, when the luxury of unlimited transfers becomes available.
The first clear move is the return of Motiejunas, replacing Oturu, to restore balance to the lineup. The latter’s lackluster showing yesterday in Valencia makes this swap easy to justify, while the Lithuanian continues to impress in his first two games with Red Star. The Serbs do face Real Madrid next (at home), but at his current price, there’s no reason for second thoughts.
Beyond that, two names clearly stand out for their consistency: Omari Moore and Jordan Nwora, both excellent again in Round 4, with the Red Star forward even being named MVP. As for Moore, he didn’t start strongly last night against Hapoel, but in the second half he picked up steam, delivering his third 20+ performance in his first four Euroleague appearances.
The level of difficulty for their upcoming matchups applies to both: Nwora faces Real Madrid at home, and Moore visits Monaco. Still, as with Motiejunas, their averages outweigh the context. Alternatively, there’s Hifi, who’s also been on fire — although his five steals per game over the past three games seem unsustainable, and he costs one credit more than Moore.
These two will take the spots of Baldwin (directly) and Forrest (indirectly), with one move left for a new guard to replace Samodurov (the opposite indirect). Baldwin, unfortunately, disappointed for a second straight game (we all know how this story goes), while there’s no update yet on Forrest’s condition — and likely won’t be before tip-off — so his sacrifice is probably necessary. Dorsey, on the other hand, stays on board due to his lower price and Maccabi matchup.
The guard completing the changes will be Sebastian Herrera at 4.6 credits, who for now holds a role in Paris’s rotation. His fantasy output hasn’t always matched his minutes — there’s risk — but the underlying numbers suggest a long-term upside.
In short, Motiejunas comes in for Oturu, freeing up credits, Moore and Nwora replace Baldwin and Forrest, while Herrera is a not-so-typical addition for the ninth roster spot. The tough matchups and general momentum hint at poor timing, but there are still the three Olympiacos fantasy pillars to lean on. And with just 103.5 credits available, the team looks to have a solid starting five and a serviceable bench — up to about the seventh man, at least, there’s real competitiveness.
As for the coach, I won’t waste a transfer there. Saras stays — he’ll either salvage what’s left or make it worse.
The lineup split is 3–7, with three key players from Olympiacos playing tonight. For Turn 2, Moore and Nwora are locked into the starting lineup, while depending on the Greek team’s performance, further adjustments might follow (Motiejunas and Osmani are naturally high priorities).
Captain for Turn 1: Vezenkov. For Turn 2, if needed, one of the new signings will take the armband.
Thus, the High Voltage roster for Turn 1 of Round 5 will likely look as follows:
Devotion.
