Here are five options who can strengthen your roster without exhausting your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Aliou Diarra, Virtus Bologna \u2014 9.8 credits.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Theo Maledon, Real Madrid \u2014 11.9 credits.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Andres Feliz, Real Madrid \u2014 8.6 credits.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scottie Wilbekin, Besiktas \u2014 9.3 credits.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eleftherios Mantzoukas, Panathinaikos \u2014 4.8 credits.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Value matters ahead of EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge Round 8.
