FanTeam, Europe’s biggest daily fantasy football provider, are running their first NBA €50,000 Monster tonight after the run-away success of their season-long NBA game which received 3 times as many entries as expected.

Selecting 7 players with a budget of $72m is not easy. We’ve gone for 3 expensive picks and 4 budget picks. We’ve used FISO’s season-long NBS stats page to help our selections.
