If ACF wins this game..

why would that be such a shock?

did any of you see it?

 

[Havetts]

If you picked your team in +- 20 minutes, I'm sure most picks are known then .

 

[Ferminal]

I got 13 or 14 common ACF! That seems like a lot, and two who I've recently dropped from my team there.

 

[Havetts]

Didnt see it.. lol, missed something again

****, that's a lot in common. I hope my team isn't too similar to everyone elses.

It's ok, only 1 or 2 of the rest were even on my short(long)list

One thing I noticed though is that one of my riders was 5 points under, only got 9 points spare now...might check the lot just to make sure before I submit.

 

[theyoungest]

Too expensive like most of the big name neos.

Hmm Tosh is actually ok, but still don't think I'd pick him.

This time I've just chosen some talents I actually like, see how they'll do. Last year I went for the win, and I picked Ricco and Di Luca... still got 16th though.

Morale of this story: follow your heart, my friend.

I am currently struggling with that dilemma as well - I've got 2 riders I want to pick up that I really like, but they're both risky (lots of points, one may be too old, one too young) and probably riskier than the 2 guys I'd replace. Sigh - posts like this make me just wanna have them on my team. I think I will.

 

[greenedge]

Yeh I think Kump is one of the safest.

10 points. However i can only envisaging him getting 150 points. There are better low pointers like Lloyd, who will probably get some points at the Giro.

Is there a prize for the person who gets the highest profit/ percentage out of their riders???

Also i did not see your team ACF??? wah?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I more or less like all my riders. However I didn't get as many dutch as last year

Only Ferminal saw my team.

Regarding the highest percentage/profit, generally the winner of the game will actually take out those titles. Most people are quite close to the 7500 mark anyway.

Ok.
Thx for the reply about the percentage thing. I suppose at the end of the season i will see how much all of my riders improved by.

If the top women cyclists ( Marianne Vos ) did not earn so much points would we ever consider doing a Women CQ game as an alternative suggestion?

 

[sublimit]

I've compiled a team of 33 riders I rejected from my official squad that I might follow on an unofficial basis this year,(yes I'm that bored at the minute) - and it looks better than my main squad now I've looked at it again.

Can always do a mini version of it if there's interest. If Hugo could give me the default guidelines on the excelsheet and how to update insert riders I'd be happy to do it.

Something like teams of 15, 2500 points. On seconds thoughts, 1000 points would probably be better, not a lot of races get covered it seems.

 

[ingsve]

Finally took the time to finish a team for next year. I wasn't as thorough as last year but I think it's a decent team. And I did pick a couple favourite riders that perhaps aren't the best strategic picks.

 

[Kvinto]

i'm curious, will we see any brave man who won't pick Matti Breschel or we are going to have him in every team?

 

[Netserk]

BAD Kvinto! You are not allowed to name a rider! GRRR

 

[Kvinto]

as if nobody thought about him, this conspiracy annoys me

come on, it's funny!

I'm sure there will be a few that won't have him for various reasons but he will definately be the Haussler of next years game.

 

[taiwan]

Fabio Taborre. That is all.

 

[taiwan]

Rick Flens.

Denis Galimzyanov.
