Fantasy Euroleague, M5 Playoff Tips

Three inside/out matches and three passes for the Final Four in Cologne, all in one day, so a single Round for Dunkest. First Efes-Real match at 6.45pm. Matchday ends with Barça-Zenit at 9pm, with Milan-Bayern in the middle at 8.45pm.

Guards

Kevin Pangos (Zenit St Petersburg, 11.9 CR): the opportunity to play the fatal joke on his former team is greedy. Final Four or not, the Canadian play will do all he can to do well and drag Zenit to a historic milestone.

Sergio Llull (Real Madrid, 9.3 CR): foolish until the end and obviously in Istanbul. As a second guard must be taken into consideration. Show your talent Sergio for putting off the last dance.

Forwards

Will Thomas (Zenit St Petersburg, 11.4 CR): all asking what series it would have been without Ponitka: “Ask Will”. Together with Poythress he was at times more of a puller than Pangos and Baron and able to limit Mirotic, more than he did on his own.

Alberto Abalde (Real Madrid, 8.8 CR): a rough diamond still to be worked on, he showed all his talent in the Madrid matches. On a mental level it could be a big confidence boost.

Centri

Zach Leday (AX Armani Exchange Milan, 11 CR): could be the factor of the series for Milan. After game1’s basket he will be essential not to lose the seasonal goal: the Final 4.

Usman Garuba (Bayern Munich, 8.7 CR): best choice in quality/price ratio. Matador of Efes in Madrid races, even with Tavares returning could score well. Those who cost less are not reliable at all.

Coach

Xavi Pascual (Zenit St Petersburg, 6.6 CR): With 3 do or die games, the choice of coach is really tough. To keep a line on tips we gave, we focus on the Zenit coach.
