Friday’s pricing has created some massive opportunities, including one player who is completely breaking the projection models!
Let’s dive straight into the top anchors, critical injury news, and the value gems you need to build winning lineups tonight.
Friday Injury Updates & Roster News
Don’t forget to check our projections
Before locking in your core, you must note a few crucial roster updates across Europe.
Firstly, Emporio Armani Milan gets a major boost as Shavon Shields is officially dressed and available to play against Fenerbahce. Additionally, Nate Sestina will also be available for Milan in the frontcourt.
On the flip side, ASVEL Villeurbanne will be missing Melvin Ajinca for their clash with Maccabi. Finally, Panathinaikos will not have Alexandros Samodurov available against Red Star due to a toe injury
The Ultimate Cheat Code & Elite Anchors
If you want to take down a FanTeam tournament today, you absolutely must start your builds with our top projected core.
Jaylen Hoard (PF, MAC)
We rarely see a projection-to-salary ratio like this. Hoard is the undisputed top play on the entire slate, boasting a massive 35.6 projection. The crazy part? FanTeam priced him at just 11.7M. This yields an absurd 3.0x value multiplier. Simply put, do not overthink this. Lock Hoard into your lineups immediately.
Sylvain Francisco (PG, ZAL)
If you have the salary to spend up, Francisco is your man. He projects for an elite 30.3 points against Real Madrid. While his 14.9M salary makes him one of the most expensive guards on the board, his high ceiling makes him a fantastic tournament anchor.
Honorable Mention: Lonnie Walker IV (SG, MAC) is another spectacular spend-up option. He projects for 29.5 points at an affordable 11.8M salary, making him a very close pivot if you want to diversify your Maccabi exposure.
Top Value Gems & Salary Relief
Because we have so many elite spend-up options today, you need the right budget pieces to make the math work. Thankfully, the data points clearly to three massive value gems.
Jimmy Clark III (PG, MAC)
Maccabi offers incredible value today. Clark III sits at a beautiful 9.0M salary but projects for a whopping 25.7 points. This gives him an elite 2.9x value multiplier, making him the absolute best point-per-dollar guard on the slate.
Nigel Hayes Davis (PF, PAO)
If you need salary relief at the forward position, look no further than Hayes Davis. At just 9.5M, he projects for a very safe 22.8 points against Red Star. This returns a strong 2.4x value, giving you a very stable floor.
Cedi Osman (SF, PAO)
Finally, you can pair Hayes Davis with his teammate Cedi Osman. Osman costs just 10.2M and projects for nearly 20 fantasy points (19.4). He provides excellent mid-tier stability if you need to squeeze in both Hoard and Francisco.
In conclusion, take advantage of the massive Maccabi value tonight. Lock in Jaylen Hoard, grab Jimmy Clark III for salary relief, and good luck taking down those Friday FanTeam GPPs!
