The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[luckyboy]

Don't know what a realistic goal is for my team but I just tried to pick more riders I like, so as long as I get over 7500 I'm not bothered.

[hrotha]

Nice, I thought I had dropped Battaglin but it turns out I didn't.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

7/10 including first 5 common picks in my team

 

[taiwan]

I must have been aware of Sicard. No idea why I didn't shortlist him. Bad miss. Maybe because I couldn't work out how to browse 0 pointers.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

meh he might not even be that valuable even if he does score positive.

I have 18 of the Top 23 picked

On the other hand I'm 117th out of 126 of the "If each rider's score is equal to the number of times that rider appears in all teams we have" list

So I have 18 of 23 Top picks yet I have one of the most unique teams?

other way around

(So Weeley Wheeler has the rarest picks and Kvinto the most common)

as kvinto was 126, and you 117 you can see you have one of the most common teams

The other way, you're the 10th most common.

 

[luckyboy]

Yeah that's the mistake I made last year picking a load of Colombians that barely made a profit.

You have the 10th least unique team. Relax.

 

[Eric8-A]

Rafael Infantino would have been one of the names on the top of my list if he would have made the switch to Coldeportes. But I brought back Suarez since I had him last year as well.

How is that you view others' teams? I downloaded the spreadsheet and have been clicking on the names, or that hyperlink thing and then some window pops up saying that the page can't be found.

 

[Jancouver]

Thats right, what was I thinking right :

The question is...is is a good thing or bad thing?

Quite honestly I would rather have more unique team

The excel file has bunch of sheets at the bottom with players names ..

Score-wise I think it's good... but agreed, I'd rather be unique.

 

[greenedge]

I reckon Stybar may prove to be a wise pick, actually. On my shortlist, but there were others I fancied more.

Yeah that was the same for me. I could envisage him at Strade Bianche.

I have 21 out of the top 50 picked.

 

[greenedge]

Anyhow, beggars belief that only one picked Kittel, considering all the hype.

Too expensive.

Did anyone else get Basso ( or Nibali if anyone thinks he can win the Giro )

 

[AussieGoddess]

yeah I picked Nibali. Not Basso though

I have 6 of the 10 most common, so I guess I either read too much about other peoples opinions or dont know enough about new riders

Anyway, it should be fun

 

[just some guy]

Thats right, what was I thinking right :

I have one of the more Unique

note no Spanish or Italians - sure that is a fail

 

[greenedge]

Just found out that me and my fellow Aussie compatriot ( ACF ) both have Basso. I'm sad i could not get Pauwels or Kruijswijk.

 

[the asian]

Too expensive.

Did anyone else get Basso ( or Nibali if anyone thinks he can win the Giro )

I've got Basso. Hoping he wins the Giro. It seems that I have no Unique riders.

 

[CasperVg]

Heh, ended up with just 7249 points instead of 7500 because I didn't realise Costa was cheaper. Ah well, too bad. Comparing my team to some of the others, I'd be happy not to finish on last place. Heck, what was I thinking, selecting riders such as Cioban Sergiu

[Jancouver]

I'm surprised that Nibali was not picked more. Sure he is expensive but he got good potential. I didnt take him because I thought he will be on every team

 

[Ferminal]

note no Spanish or Italians - sure that is a fail

I think Italians are necessary, at least 3-4 to take advantage of the huge points on offer in 1.1 land.

Italy was the most chosen nation on my team
