Everything you need to know about Olympiacos ahead of the 2026/27 EuroLeague Fantasy season and which players could provide the most value.
After 13 years of waiting, Olympiacos won the EuroLeague title in spectacular fashion last season, doing so in the arena of their biggest rivals, Panathinaikos. Athens was on fire that night in May.
They enter this season with the highest ambitions once again: defending their EuroLeague title. The impression is that they have an even better team than last year, having brought in several players almost every team would love to have. Above all, we are talking about the backcourt duo of Codi Miller-McIntyre and Jean Montero.
They will once again be led from the bench by the long-criticized Greek coach Georgios Bartzokas, who silenced all his critics last season. This year, Sasha Vezenkov is again expected to be the leader of the team and the player around whom everything will revolve offensively.
Olympiacos is generally a very good team for Fantasy, and we can say that almost every round you should have at least one player from the Greek team in your fantasy lineup.
Expected Rotation
| Position | Starter | Main backup | Rotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| PG | Codi Miller-McIntyre | Jean Montero | Cory Joseph |
| SG | Tyler Dorsey | Evan Fournier | |
| SF | Tyson Ward | Kostas Papanikolau | |
| PF | Sasha Vezenkov | Mbaye Ndiaye | |
| C | Nikola Milutinov | Tyrique Jones | Donta Hall |
The impression is that the defending champions have assembled an even better team than last season. The only important players to leave were Thomas Walkup and Alec Peters, while Codi Miller-McIntyre, Jean Montero and Mbaye Ndiaye have arrived.
There will be a real logjam at the guard positions, and coach Bartzokas will have the unenviable task of finding the best possible rotation. Alongside the newcomers, Evan Fournier and Tyler Dorsey are still around.
They appear to be weakest at small forward, where another reinforcement could certainly come in handy. Tyson Ward and Kostas Papanikolaou are the options there, and it remains a big question how much the Greek veteran can still provide at this stage of his career.
At power forward, Sasha Vezenkov is, of course, undisputed – probably the best player in the EuroLeague. We expect another season of elite production and huge fantasy numbers from him. Olympiacos undoubtedly has the best center rotation in the EuroLeague.
They have three incredible players who would be first options at center on most other EuroLeague teams. This season, the position will be covered by Nikola Milutinov, Donta Hall and Tyrique Jones. It is up to Bartzokas to distribute the minutes among the three in the best possible way. Because of the crowded rotation and their high prices, we would not recommend Olympiacos centers.
The Fantasy Star
Sasha Vezenkov – Forward – 17.0 credits
Sasha Vezenkov stands as the absolute leader of Olympiacos, a player synonymous with EuroLeague Fantasy excellence and arguably the best player in the entire competition. Coming off a season where he finally captured the European title, the Bulgarian forward enters the new campaign fully healthy, energized, and primed to dominate from opening night.
His fantasy profile is defined by unmatched efficiency and relentless statistical production. Vezenkov is projected to log around 30 minutes per game, serving as the central hub of Olympiacos’ offense. While he is an extraordinarily lethal shooter from deep, his fantasy production goes far beyond perimeter scoring. He is an elite off-ball mover, a great rebounder, and an expert at drawing fouls – qualities he once more showcased recently in EuroBasket Pre-Qualifiers action by dropping an incredible 46 PIR performance.
With such a complete game, Vezenkov consistently operates with a astronomically high floor. Even on rare off-shooting nights, his rebounding and free-throw generation keep his baseline around 15-18 PIR. When his shot is falling, his ceiling easily pushes past 30+ PIR. Expect him to average between 20-25 PIR on a regular basis.
Despite the steep 17.0-credit price tag, he is a non-negotiable anchor for any serious roster, and his value is almost guaranteed to rise past 20.0 credits as the season progresses.
Best Value Pick
Jean Montero – Guard – 12.8 credits
Jean Montero completely captivated the European basketball public last season, earning the EuroLeague Rising Star award and an All-EuroLeague First Team selection before being named Playoffs MVP with an incredible 26.8 PIR average. Now joining the champions, Olympiacos, he represents an extraordinary value proposition for serious fantasy managers targeting dynamic budget growth.
At 12.8 credits, the market is noticeably underpricing Montero due to the presence of established veterans in the Olympiacos backcourt. However, his transition should be seamless. Preseason action already showed him logging around 25 minutes per game, proving he will not require an extended adaptation period to command significant offensive responsibility. His elite pick-and-roll playmaking, perimeter scoring, and knack for generating steals give him a multifaceted box score impact.
If Montero carries over his elite form from Valencia, a price tag of 12.8 credits will quickly become a distant memory. He projects to comfortably average a 15-18 PIR range in his core rotation role, with plenty of room to explode higher as he gradually moves into the primary spotlight. Because EuroLeague Fantasy dynamically adjust valuations based on early-round overperformance relative to starting cost, Montero is the premier asset to generate rapid team value while locking down elite backcourt production.
The Sleeper
Tyson Ward – Forward – 7.5 credits
Tyson Ward enters his second season in Athens as a hidden gem waiting to explode in fantasy value. Looking at the roster layout, small forward appears to be the most vulnerable spot in the Olympiacos rotation, leaving Ward without heavy competition for consistent floor time. For an asset priced at just 7.5 credits, this presents an exceptional opening for fantasy managers seeking a true differential pick.
Ward is the ultimate system glue-man who impacts the box score across every category. He isn’t a primary scoring option, but his value lies in his all-around stat-stuffing capability. Last season, he even flirted with a rare European triple-double, showcasing his elite instincts for secondary playmaking, glass-cleaning, and defensive events like steals and blocks.
We expect Ward to secure around 25 minutes per game, translating into a solid baseline average of 10+ PIR. That level of efficiency offers an outstanding return on investment for a sub-8.0 credit player.
He is an ideal target starting right in Round 1 against an up-tempo Baskonia squad, where a high-scoring, fast-paced environment should maximize his versatility. Skipping the mainstream picks to roster Ward provides both immediate depth and crucial budget flexibility.
The Trap
Nikola Milutinov – Center – 15.3 credits
Nikola Milutinov has long served as a vital cornerstone for Olympiacos alongside Sasha Vezenkov, building a reputation as one of the most dominant paint forces in European basketball. However, entering the new season, his real-life quality creates a classic illusion that makes him a dangerous trap for Fantasy managers.
At a costly 15.3 credits, Milutinov is priced as an elite, high-volume starting center. The issue lies entirely in rotation dynamics. Olympiacos boasts arguably the deepest frontcourt in the EuroLeague, featuring a crowded center tandem of Milutinov, Donta Hall, and Tyrique Jones. Head coach Georgios Bartzokas faces a delicate balancing act managing this crowd, meaning Milutinov’s minutes will likely be capped.
While the Serbian big man is extraordinarily efficient and capable of racking up points and rebounds in quick bursts, a minute restriction severely restricts his overall fantasy upside. Paying top-tier money for a player in a heavily split committee offers very little margin for error. Unless injuries hit the Olympiacos frontcourt and unlock a heavier workload, investing 15.3 credits in Milutinov is simply too risky for your budget.
