Centers are the centers of attention in this week's Fantasy Challenge Podcast

Episode No. 23 of the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge Podcast is destined to be a great one in honor of greats of the game of basketball like Michael Jordan and Sergio Llull who have donned that number in their legendary career. Regular co-hosts [Javier Gancedo](https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fganchetto&data=05%7C02%7Cgeoff.gillingham%40euroleague.net%7Cff2a7b4fdb8942bff95208dd654005c4%7C2b3d64f0329542979f1528435f0a62ce%7C1%7C0%7C638778047824882217%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sVGmeHZVSTZXEoK1dfvl8YTvEa6Toa04F3Qok%2FuiEr8%3D&reserved=0) and [Frankie Sachs](https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FMrEuroleague&data=05%7C02%7Cgeoff.gillingham%40euroleague.net%7Cff2a7b4fdb8942bff95208dd654005c4%7C2b3d64f0329542979f1528435f0a62ce%7C1%7C0%7C638778047824901897%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=OsbA2cH%2Fonzp6wHTixlMtT0Z7Z56BNvCYzb4CalbbaI%3D&reserved=0) of [Euroleague.net](http://Euroleague.net) joined forced again this week, with Vasiliki Karamouza experiencing technical difficulties.

The name of the fantasy game for Round 30 is centers, with [Joel Bolomboy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/joel-bolomboy/009035/) of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade sidelined and [Daniel Theis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/daniel-theis/004132/) of AS Monaco questionable. Moreover, a Tuesday night fixture between Paris Basketball and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan means that a decision must be made by Tuesday evening, so waiting on player updates can be risky.

Javi and Frankie discussed alternatives at center as well as how to build your teams in this three-turn round. If you are – like Frankie – among those who lost both of your centers to injuries, you have come to the right place for help! See what moves Javi and Frankie advise – as well as what they actually do – this week. And make sure your lineups are set by 20:30 CET on Tuesday when Paris vs. Milan tips off in the French capital. Good luck, fantasy fans!
