Neo-professional Manager Game 2014 (@Cycling4Fans)

The cycling4fans.de Neo-professional Manager Game will be held for the 13th time this year. And once again C4F invites all members of cyclingnews to join us in the game. Last year three cn members made it into the final Top 10

You can give your team a name if you like and send it via PM to me. I'll forward it then to the C4F members in charge of the game.

See also last year's thread. And the thread over at C4F where updates and final results will be posted.

Rules

Not many. Just pick up to ten riders which you expect to score a lot of points / good results in the first pro season. Only riders are eligible who turned pro this year for the first time and who signed for a WT or ProConti team. See list below.

Deadline

12.01.2014, 23:59 (CET)

Any questions? I'll try my best to answer them.
 
Apparently I came 25th in this last year, and had forgotten that I had even entered.

We had updates until April, then they stopped. Hopefully if we provide anything like 30%+ of the entries, or 85%+ of the number of entries on the home site, we will be kept in the loop rather better.

That said, I may as well chuck in a team.

I wish I'd had that list to hand when I was compiling my team for the Youth CQ game.

Looks like updates stopped on the c4f site too. Are we able to change our teams before deadline if we submit them to you now?

I tried to enter my team directly on C4Fans website but could not locate the right spot to do so.
Therefore I sent my team to you yesterday. Hope you did receive it :cool:

Thank you for your help.

Bye Bye Bicycle said:
All teams, statistics and picking lists have now been posted in this thread.

Bit of a surprise with Davide Villella, Janier Acevedo and Simon Yates being the top picks.

First points have been scored by Nathan Earle and Florian Sénéchal, which you can see in this thread.

I wouldn't say the first two are big surprises, it's just perhaps that certain riders are less popular than may have been expected.
 
Time for an update.

January and February saw some fine Neo performances.

January:

1 Phillip GAIMON 64
2 Julian David ARREDONDO MORENO 63
3 Wouter WIPPERT 25
4 Florian SENECHAL 20
5 Nathan EARLE 16
6 Adam PHELAN 13
7 Andrea DAL COL 10
8 Marco MINNAARD 8
9 Michael KOLAR 5
10 David Jai CRAWFORD 4.5
11 Louis VERHELST 4
12 Romain GUILLEMOIS 2
12 Malcolm RUDOLPH 2
14 Adam YATES_A 1.5
15 Andrea FEDI 1

February:

1 Riccardo ZOIDL 49
2 Lasse Norman HANSEN_L 44
3 Petr VAKOC 27
4 Sam BENNETT 24
5 Davide VILLELLA 22.5
6 Nicola RUFFONI 16
7 Yannick MARTINEZ 11
8 Dylan VAN BAARLE 10.5
9 Silvan DILLIER 5
10 Edward THEUNS 4
11 Niccolo BONIFAZIO 2
12 Alberto BETTIOL 1.5
12 Fabio Andre Tomas SILVESTRE 1.5
