EU GUIDE DRAFT. Players & Sleepers

Guide to Interesting Players and Sleepers for the Ring Fantasy EuroLeague Draft

This article focuses on the EuroLeague and aims to help you choose mid-round and late-round players, known as sleepers, for the Ring Fantasy EuroLeague draft.

Mid-round players are those who can be good picks between the middle rounds (rounds 3, 4, and 5) and typically have a value ranging between €450,000 and €600,000. In 10-team leagues, some of these players might be chosen in the later rounds, but in larger leagues, like those with 18 teams, they will be crucial picks during the middle rounds.

Sleepers are players who are expected to be selected in the later rounds of the draft (rounds 6, 7, or 8), but have the potential to exceed expectations and deliver better-than-expected performances. In some cases, they might be mid-round players valued around €500,000. Especially in larger leagues, like those with 18 teams, these sleepers can make a difference in the final rounds. However, in smaller leagues, like those with 10 teams, it might not be necessary to rely on one of them, although there may always be an interesting opportunity.

This time, I'm collaborating with Adrián, a writer at EuroLeague France, who has been playing and writing about the Euroleague Fantasy Challenge for a long time, and thus has extensive knowledge of EuroLeague players. You can follow him on X at @adribasket31 and check out his EuroLeague roster analysis on his website adribasketcom.wordpress.com.

Both of us will present a list of mid-round players, as well as a selection of sleepers, focusing on lesser-known or often overlooked players
