    Am I being thick, there doesn't seem to be any GC riders in for G-W.

    any idea what we do?

    You don't have to have a full team for each race. Either leave it as is or transfer to the cheapest GC and spend the credits elsewhere

    You have to click on all riders available and choose a GC that way. It had me fooled for a bit lol
    Bianchi. There are no alternatives only compromises!

    Thanks, yes I got that. But there were no GC categorised (in the fantasy league) riders at G-V. Looks like it's the same for RVV. We're all in the same boat though, so it doesn't make too much difference.

    I've moved up the rankings, but will be tackling RVV with only 7 riders as I decided it better to transfer some qualifying riders than have a full team :lol: . Just hope that I wasn't too keen in making the transfers so early and they all start the race now.

    I took Boonen out and put Sagan in. Doh.

    I mistakenly left out a rider on the first race and due to it scored no points ( I would have had about 30). Make sure you have a full team even if filled with deadweight.

    I did exactly the same thing, missed out on points because i didn't have a full team, bah.

    Bottom eh? not the start I wanted.
  • Gah. The website seems to be broken. I managed to make one of my transfers but now it's just completely crashed.

    working now - I've got what i hope to be a solid team*, let's see it pay off on Sunday!

    *Although I've avoided Cancellara, probably against my better judgement.

  • I picked up 60 points today (Cancellara, Boonen, and Thomas the main scorers) and have soared up to 5th place. There was a point today as Gilbert roared clear with Fabian dying that I was bitterly regretting selling the Belgian to buy the Swiss, but it all worked out more or less in the end).

  • New to the forum so hello everybody.

    Joined the league and joint 34th after 1 race so I'll take that!

    Found it made watching flanders even more fun actually as I had riders other than my favoruite people to support.

    i really wish for the people who joined up after the first stage, it would backdate their points for that selection.

    So they don't come in 100 points down. :(

    But i suppose people can then try build a winning formula to cheat and get better points than they actually have with a different team

    Excellent, that's shoved me up the rankings somewhat. From firm midfield to upper quartile, I'll take that!

  • Only started a team before the weekend but had van summeren so not a bad start :D
    Added myself to the league (les grimpeurs) and am propping up the foot of the table (for now :twisted: )

    Fluked Van Summeren too, no idea how!
  • yeah, I'd like to say I picked him through some incredible knowledge, but if I had I'd have made a packet at the bookies. I didn't though.

  • Moved up to 17th in the purists league after Liege...how ever, I have one rider for the Giro....

    Not making any transfers (except for injuries) all season.
  • I had a great L-B-L:
    Gilbert, F Schleck, Uran, Van Avermaert....
  • Apparently I got the best score on the Tour of Flanders stage and have won twenty quid :D
