By default, you get to spend 55 efficiency points on your five starters. Here to help you with the selection are our Fantasy Tips.
Karsiyaka's in-form man
He was already a standout in terms of stats in the BCL last season, but it took some time for Damien Jefferson to click with Karsiyaka in 2024-25. The forward seems to be turning the page in November.
Jefferson was Filou Oostende's best player in this competition in Season 8, averaging 14.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He's already had an 18-point outing with Karsiyaka, too, propelling them to a vital win over Saint-Quentin Basket-Ball on Gameday 2, and his last two games in the Turkish League have been even more impressive.
Against Galatasaray, Damien finished with 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 6-of-8 from the field, collecting an efficiency rating of 23.
The 27-year-old followed it up with 21 points, 6 rebounds and an efficiency rating of 22 against Buyukcekmece past weekend, making it back-to-back games as the player with the highest efficiency rating on his team.
His minutes are expected to be in the 30s again, as Karsiyaka have to adjust their rotation following Sean McDermott's injury. They are facing Kolossos H Hotels this week, a game they are expected to win, especially in front of their own fans in Turkiye.
The best part about Jefferson's hot November? He's yours for just 8 of your 55 available efficiency points, meaning you still get a chance to bring in players from the 15+ or even 20+ points echelon.
That would give you a better chance of promotion through divisions or even better, getting the bragging rights in your group of other BCL Fantasy game contestants.
