PeterB said:While my team is still in the Top 10, it is becoming pretty decimated towards the end of the season:
Thomas - ended his season. And I counted on him to score many extra points in the Worlds, where he should normally be among the best in all 3 disciplines...
Chaves - out due to sickness, very little likelihood of racing again this season
Gesink - out due to recent training crash, just before the Canadian races, the Worlds and Lombardia where he could score well over 100 points according to my plans
Cavendish - out due to sickness
Lawrence Naesen - out since May due to sickness, but perhaps will return to racing this month but who knows in what form and what races he can do
Mamykin - clearly enjoying himself judging by his few recent instagram posts but hardly any points can be expected from him
Archbold - like Mamykin, no team, no races, no points
Konig - who knows what's up with him but definitely big fat zero this year...
How are your teams doing?

At least you can still hope if your guys continue racing. Now Thomas and those 7 other guys are useless to my team for the remaining season. Althoug Thomas was kind enough to earn 6 final points in the ToB.del1962 said:PeterB said:While my team is still in the Top 10, it is becoming pretty decimated towards the end of the season:

I think it is safe to say that spending over half my budget on Quintana, Porte and Landa was a Brilliant strategy this year
laarsland said:The recurring questions which comes back to haunt you:
What good does being 1 of 4 to pick strong roleur Valentin Madouas at 1200%-profit gain you overall
when
You pick both Aru and Ed Theuns at a 25%-profif as your two most expensive riders?
Mediocrity...
