HIGH VOLTAGE
A usual Round
High Voltage tries to prepare the ground for the more spectacular changes that will be needed in due time.

Turn 2 of Round 5 proved quite disappointing for High Voltage, though thankfully Olympiacos’ players had already done their part on Thursday, delivering a three-digit total and ensuring the overall result of the round remained positive. The final tally was 174.1 points and 751.85 overall, placing the team at No. 17,184 in the general standings. The budget, however, didn’t see much improvement, rising by just +0.9 credits to 104.4 total.
The misfortune of the round — for most managers, really — was Osmani’s injury just 2.5 minutes into the game. The Turk managed to reach 6 PIR with 4 points and 2 drawn fouls, avoiding a bigger financial hit or lineup issue thanks to the timing of the upcoming unlimited transfer round. Fortunately, he was in the starting five instead of Motiejunas, who stayed at 3 PIR against Real Madrid, with 5 points on 2/9 shooting and 6 drawn fouls in 16:56 of play.
From the same game, Dos Santos disappointed as well, coming off the bench (-1 at 50%) with just 1 point and a few similar stats, aside from his 4 fouls in 13:10. The team’s best performer in that game was Nwora with 22 fantasy points, recording another all-around stat line of 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists (and turnovers), and 5 drawn fouls in 36:04. Unfortunately, Moore didn’t follow suit — in his first bad game of the season, he looked completely out of rhythm against Monaco, finishing with 2 points on 0/3 shooting, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and a mere 1 PIR in 19:16, a truly failed move.
The bench was completed by Kalaitzakis (2.75) with 3 points (0/3 threes), 2 assists, and 2 steals in 9:14 against Efes, and Herrera (-0.5) with 3 points and 1/5 from deep in 15:40 versus Hapoel.
From Turn 1, all starters naturally remained in the basic lineup (Vezenkov – 68.2, Milutinov – 33, Dorsey – 20.9), while Saras contributed 20 points with Fener’s 88–73 win over Bayern.
Round 6 begins today with another early Wednesday Turn 1 and offers the full flexibility of unlimited transfers — something I personally disagree with in principle, but that’s beside the point. The truth is that this “complete flexibility” is mostly theoretical, since budgets remain limited and several key players who could have been essential roster pieces are out injured. Players like Osmani, Jackson, and even Samodurov could have made team planning much easier (options like Davidovac or Herrera exist, but they don’t compare, for example, to Efes’ forward). Meanwhile, the guards remain a rather volatile and somewhat …tricky situation. Moore and Baldwin stand out on paper, but each faces issues of his own — the former has internal competition, the latter suffers from inconsistency and an out-of-form team. Still, both remain main options, while another steady pick like Forrest is also sidelined with injury.
Only at center do things look clearer (Milutinov, Kabengele, Booker, Oturu), though there’s also that Lithuanian at 7.6 credits who, at this stage of the game and with limited budget growth since the season started, seems like a “perfect fit” for a team like High Voltage, which has 104.4 credits to work with. So, there won’t be any dramatic roster changes, especially since the Olympiacos fantasy trio (Milutinov–Vezenkov–Dorsey) continues to perform at elite levels.
Fortunately, the coaching choice looks obvious this time, as Crvena Zvezda faces Baskonia in Round 6 and ASVEL in Round 7 — two of the weakest teams in the competition at the moment. Thus, Sasa Obradovic takes over as the team’s coach at 6.9 credits.
Joining him will be his own players, Nwora and Motiejunas, while Dos Santos will leave. Of course, stronger names exist for the center spot, but since there aren’t many promising options around 7.6 credits, the Zvezda big man will stay, along with Milutinov.
Staying with the “Reds,” the same applies to Vezenkov and Dorsey. The return of Olympiacos’ perimeter players does raise some doubts, but ideally, I would’ve liked to bring in Baldwin — the team’s finances simply don’t allow it, though performance-wise, replacing Dorsey wouldn’t make sense when comparing pure numbers without names. Both his form and the general lack of “safe” guard options keep him in the roster.
Naturally, some 4-credit fillers are needed, so Kalaitzakis stays after getting minutes against Efes (Samodurov could also fit here to keep a transfer available for later), while Atamna returns at 4 credits and might gradually earn more opportunities (he also impressed in the French league over the weekend).
Even then, few credits remain for maneuvering elsewhere, but I want to add one more expensive name — Filip Petrusev, who’s been steadily improving since the start of the season, aside from his tougher matchup against Olympiacos at the SEF, where he posted 12 PIR. Otherwise, all his scores start from 17 and above, making Dubai’s big man a clear candidate for further growth from his 13.8-credit value. His price is no longer a “super bargain” like early on, but his consistent production and strong impact in reasonable minutes make him a player worth investing in.
That leaves just 13.7 credits for two players, giving us two scenarios: the ...second one opens the door to players like Strazel, Davidovac (upgrading Kalaitzakis), and Herrera; the first, however, brings in the guard whose price tag says it all — Devon Hall at 9.7 credits. He’s been a stable, competitive presence through the first five games of the season. I don’t expect huge scores from the Fener guard, and in a full roster his ceiling may shrink, but for now, the reliability he offers feels invaluable compared to the alternatives. Ideally, I’d go for Baldwin (or Nunn, of course...), but financially, after the previous transfers, it’s just not feasible. The guard line will certainly evolve over the next few rounds, and everyone will be eagerly awaiting Osmani’s return to free up funds.
With the remaining 4 credits, a player like Mahmutoglu for the Efes derby could come in, or Lakic of Partizan, who might see more minutes soon if he benefits from the team’s injury issues.
The roster split is 4–6, with two heavy hitters (Nwora, Petrusev) and one “intermediate” option for now (Motiejunas) playing on Thursday — so we’ll need two good scores here, since Friday includes four competitive players capable of filling the starting spots.
Captain for Turn 2 will be Nwora, due to home advantage, Baskonia matchup, and heavy playing time (especially with Zvezda’s injuries), while Turn 3 features Vezenkov as the greatest option.
Thus, High Voltage’s roster for Turn 1 of Round 6 will likely be as follows:
