Making the Most of Our List
Taking advantage of the unlimited transfer bonus, we’ll look to strengthen our squad with players we were missing.
Published: 22/10/2025 17:31
The first unlimited transfer round has arrived, and after a rather turbulent double week, our aim is to bring in some key players — ones who seem essential and will, for the most part, form the core of our team for the next several rounds.
To do that, we’ll rely on the player list we created and presented in our previous review, The Pool of Options and the Dropped Players per Team It’s an extensive list — team by team — with the players we’re considering as potential picks, as well as others who are solid but, for specific reasons explained there, aren’t on our radar right now. Ideally, this list should serve us well through Round 11 (the next unlimited transfer week).
Of course, Fantasy is a dynamic game, so we must constantly monitor developments that create new conditions. For instance, the long-term injury of Carlik Jones at Partizan immediately boosts the Fantasy value of both Washington and Sterling Brown — something every manager must take into account.
Starting the construction of our new team, it’s worth noting that although this round includes three turns, we won’t focus on the first-day game — as explained in our previous article, Real Madrid and Maccabi aren’t Fantasy priorities for us at this stage.
The first player we were eagerly waiting to bring in is Jordan Nwora. Even though he now costs 12.8 credits — putting him in the same price range as players like Petrusev — his performances and consistency make him a must-have. Our confidence in him is such that he’ll wear the captain’s armband in Turn 2.
Our second target, whom we had already highlighted last week but couldn’t acquire then, is Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot. The Frenchman is one of the few quality players left standing for Baskonia, in a roster that keeps shrinking as the season goes on (Samanic is now gone). These two early additions also help balance our roster across the turns — since, truth be told, guard options are more plentiful in Turn 3.
We’ll also give Andreas Obst a shot, as the Bayern guard seems to have finally found some Fantasy stability. With the team lacking high-level backcourt options and Olympiacos’ defense in the perimeter not its strongest point, the timing looks right.
Due to the injury situation at Partizan, as mentioned above, we had to bring in one of their guards. Initially, Sterling Brown looked like the safest choice, but the cheaper Washington allows us to spread our budget more efficiently, so we’ll go with him instead.
Another addition — this time due to circumstances — will be Rolands Smits from Efes. Though he looked like an odd fit not long ago, the injuries of Osmani and Papagiannis will give him plenty of playing time. Efes runs many sets through its power forward, and at just 6.3 credits, Smits becomes an intriguing opportunity.
Sasha Vezenkov naturally stays in the squad and will be our captain in Turn 3 if needed.
Nikola Milutinov also returns — now 0.7 credits more expensive, but mistakes must be corrected. Against Bayern’s front line, if he gets enough touches, he shouldn’t face many problems.
Now for the tougher calls. Last round, we brought in Motiejunas, who disappointed. Logically, we’d replace him — but given he faces a dismantled Baskonia and we need to save some credits for other upgrades, we’ll hold onto him for now.
Sebastian Herrera joins the team as well — at this price point, he’s the only guard who reliably gets minutes.
That leaves us with 10.9 credits to decide on our final addition. The candidates: Dorsey, Miller-McIntyre, Devon Hall, and finally, someone we had initially ruled out due to internal competition — Sterling Brown. Each has pros and cons we need to weigh carefully before making the final decision, and then, as always, we’ll have to rely on a bit of luck — which hasn’t exactly been on our side lately. At this moment, Brown looks the likeliest choice: even though we’d rather avoid having two players from the same team, he’s likely to be Partizan’s offensive leader and could even serve as a longer-term pick.
Naturally, our coach remains Sasa Obradovic, as has been the case for most of this Fantasy season.
In any case, we’ll review our last selection right up to the deadline and post an update if needed.
