And there is plenty to discuss ahead of Round 34, which marks the final time there will be a full lineup of games in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge.

Frankie starts by explaining why he is staying away from players whose teams have already been eliminated and then issues a heartfelt thank you to three of his favorite players from the season who won't suit up for him again: [Theo Maledon](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/theo-maledon/007027/), [Roman Sorkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/roman-sorkin/011219/) and [David McCormack](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/david-mccormack/013386/). Vasiliki continues with an analysis of the Olympiacos Piraeus backcourt situation and which players she sees on the rise.

While both Frankie and Vasiliki see eye to eye on their coaches and several players for Round 34, it’s interesting to hear why they move in different directions on the rest of the roster. This week the Round begins at 20:00 CEST with games tipping off simultaneously in Germany and France, so make sure to have your lineups finalized by then. And, as always, good luck, fantasy fans.

The Crossover with Joe Arlauckas returns with 25th anniversary specials!

The Crossover with Joe Arlauckas opens a special season that will focus on the EuroLeague's 25th anniversary. With a one-hour format of exclusive interviews, The Crossover with Joe Arlauckas is an award-winning podcast that goes beyond what happened on the court and tells behind-the-scenes stories, some of them for the first time! In this first episode, Arlauckas hosts Coach David Blatt and Tyrese Rice, who led Maccabi Tel Aviv to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague crown in 2014.

Coach Blatt and Rice join Arlauckas for an insightful, relaxed conversation about how Maccabi became a EuroLeague champion against all odds. The team struggled at first and Rice was close to parting ways with Maccabi. He was ready to join EA7 Emporio Armani Milan when he learned he had to replace lifelong friend MarQuez Haynes. Rice joked about his "irrational confidence".

Inevitably, talk rolled around to Rice's game-winning shot in the semifinals against CSKA Moscow. Coach Blatt laughed about the teams' previous matchup in Moscow, when he was awarded the Russian Federation’s Order of Friendship right before losing by 35 points.

Arlauckas, Rice and Coach Blatt also talked about Game 1 of the playoff series against Milan, in which Maccabi rallied from a 12-point deficit to force overtime and steal the home-court advantage, and, of course, the championship game, which Maccabi won in overtime. Real Madrid was the favorite but Maccabi found a way.

The Crossover with Joe Arlauckas is available on Youtube, iTunes, Audioboom, Spotify, Deezer, RadioPublic, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher, CastBox, iVoox and other platforms.

Then it's on to the Fantasy Challenge and detailed discussions about the merits of [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/roster/bar/?season=2024-25) players (Frankie has three on his team!) and [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/roster/ulk/?season=2024-25) players ahead of their Wednesday night game.

Vasiliki and Frankie go through their choices for Round 33 as well as their captains, including how many points their Wednesday and Thursday captains needs to score to before deciding whether to name [Sasha Vezenkov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sasha-vezenkov/003469/) (in a matchup against [ALBA Berlin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/alba-berlin/roster/ber/?season=2024-25)) as captain on Friday. Don’t get caught off-guard by the Wednesday showdown in Istanbul between Fenerbahce and Barcelona, so make sure to set your lineups before they tip off at 19:45 CET. And, as always, good luck, fantasy fans.

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!
