EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge: 5 players to buy for Round 8

Value matters ahead of EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge Round 8. Here are five options who can strengthen your roster without exhausting your budget.

Aliou Diarra, Virtus Bologna — 9.8 credits. Averaging 19.3 PIR, he remains cheaper than many less productive big men. His 7.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks provide production beyond scoring, making him an attractive pick against Zalgiris.

Theo Maledon, Real Madrid — 11.9 credits. His averages of 19.0 PIR and 5.6 assists support the investment. A trip to an injury-hit Baskonia offers an opportunity to back a productive guard below the highest price bracket.

Andres Feliz, Real Madrid — 8.6 credits. A cheaper alternative to Maledon for managers spreading their budget: 12.7 points, 4.0 assists and 14.4 PIR in fewer than 20 minutes per game. Playing time remains the limitation, but his return at this price deserves attention.

Scottie Wilbekin, Besiktas — 9.3 credits. Olympiacos present a demanding matchup, but Wilbekin averages 24 minutes, 16.0 points and 14.1 PIR. Below ten credits, he offers substantial offensive responsibility at a reasonable cost.

Eleftherios Mantzoukas, Panathinaikos — 4.8 credits. A budget gamble to complete your roster, averaging 15 minutes and 6.5 PIR at close to the minimum price. He has returned to practice after illness: check his inclusion in the squad against Milan before committing.
