It's way easier to pick your team in this compared to the TdF!

The best riders seem way cheaper. One can easily fit in Froome, Quintana and Nibbles with enough change for a decent team.

thought the same, so went for a different approach than usual. 5 really big names and 4 nobodies. :eek:
either the big guns shine and i look awesome or they don't show up and i look foolish. I'd put my money on the later

I just don't know if I should put Sagan in this time.
He got SOOOO many points at the TdF but I'm not sure if he's going to be as active in the Vuelta.

34 Boardsies have entered so far

Every time I do a fantasy team my whole team are gone by the second rest day so not going to jinx anyone this year

But I do think the 2 Irish riders will go well and also I think some of the old guys will benefit from the long brutal second part of the Vuelta...so riders like Zubeldia, SAMU, Schleck who are cheap options for a top 10

Ah it's pretty easy. Just pick Froome, Quintana, Nibali, Valverde, Aru, Landa, Sagan, Nico and Dan. Oh, and Rodriguez. And Maijka. Maybe Degenkolb and Thomas and Spartacus and Bouhani. You can't go wrong then.

Roche and Martin did well enough for me yesterday. So far doing better then leTour. All my riders have scored points which didn't happen last time :P

EDIT: ^^^^just looked into this :facepalm: There go my hopes

Well I'm down Nibali and Cancellara if that makes anyone feel a bit better about themselves. Pity, as I had a pretty good second stage.

My team is rapidly falling apart with Cancellara, Sagan and Dan Martin all gone. My gamble with Landa and Henao hasn't paid off. And Gerrans and Txurruka haven't made much of an impact. I'm now completely relying on Valverde and Aru, although Txurruka could still be good for some more points.

In saying all that though, I'm 20th (out of 70) in the Boards league :pac:

My team is also falling asunder - Nibali, Martin, Sagan. I expect to slip down the list as La Vuelta continues........

I am now down Nibali, Cancallera, Martin and Sagan.

I had been nicely positioned in the top 10 but will now slide down the ranking....

Me too, I think its a curse to be on my team.

Just hope it doesnt effect Nico too.

Unfortunately for me, I don't have Nico. I am looking to Valverde, Majka and Degenklob to score my points now,

I've lost Nibali, Dan and Cancellara. I still have Froome, Quintana and Roche, and I really lucked out by picking Chaves and Drucker. I'm really annoyed that I don't pick Dumoulin though-only 6 points, i would definitely have gone for him if I had spent more than a minute putting my team together. Still, 6th place is a lot better than I did in the Tour. I hope Roche and Chaves can hang around in the top five as long as possible, and that Quintana and Froome find form.

I've had a Vuellta fantasy disaster

Cancellara, Sagan, Martin, Nibbles, & TVG all out for me. Sigh

Zaph

So far I've lost Nibali, Cancellara, Martin and Bouhanni, and until today two of my team had contributed a grand total of 4 points between them. Thankfully one of them got into the points scoring positions at long last but the other is still on zero. At least I have Dumoulin and Rodriguez. First time I've ever played this, so I'm happy enough to be comfortably in the top half of the table.

Esroh

Somehow I forgot Nico and I have lost Nibs and Dan but I am now in a close battle for the lanterne Rouge and The Careful Dive Wheelers better be ready for a battle.

mrroboito

I thought I was doing very nicely after the pain of losing Nibali early and in spite of picking a very poor supporting cast but I think the losses of Sagan and Martin mean I'll be limping to the finish hoping to stay off the very bottom.

Jaysus third so far I thought i was goosed after sagan and Martin abandoned. Thank god for doumolin
