I don't see a thread on a fantasy TdF so I set this up.

I hope this works.

Had to make the tough call to get rid of Nicolas Roche as I was one 'star' too broke to afford the 8th rider.

Nico is decent value but unlikely to feature high in GC.

Wanted all the IRE riders in the team but wasn't going to restructure other riders to do it.

No Select a Stage for points multiplication like in other years?

I didn’t play last year so this format is new to me.

No idea what im doing!

transfers
"Throughout the race, you will have the opportunity to make changes in your team by using credits. You will be able to replace one of your chosen riders with a new cyclist by using 50 credits."

How does this work? e.g. rider withdraws how do you transfer in another fella?

Velogames is back up and running. They had to do a bit of a name change but it's all there if anyone is interested in the old format

I threw a team together there just now. Is there a Boards league?

Yeah or some will get sprinters in for flat stages then climbers for the mountains

Get out ? When I saw this thread come up I was about to grumble about it not being the same as Velogames. Now to remember my password.

Velogames League

League Name: Boards TDF
League Code: 965120510

Cormo87

In as well, have no idea if the team is any use but good to keep an interest in other riders besides the Irish ones

Hang on - is there two leagues now?

yep but I refuse to do the tour one as they closed down the velogames one a couple of years ago

In both leagues, although the tour is confusing as hell.
Good to see velogames back up and running.

You have 400 credits to change a rider but withdrawals are a free transfer

Yeah the Tour one requires more strategy and montioring to be successful. I prefer the velogames set-and-forget approach

just in Velogames with 2 minutes to spare

Genuinely fluking well in 3rd place, haven't kept up with pro cycling in 12 years

Nizzolo pulled out and it cost me 50 credits to transfer him out.
If anyone withdraws with Covid is it the same? Or do you get a free transfer?

I thought dropouts were fre but turns out Im wrong which is a pain as I have already made a bunch of transfers

CMcsporty

Thats crap!
Bound to be a load of Covid cases?

I'd forgotten about this until this evening and what do I see now that I check ?
I'm winning the Boards velogames league :eek:

Jaysus, I'm right behind you in 2nd. I'll let you have it in Paris tomorrow.

Well done.

Picking both Pog and Rog was what did it for me I think as well as Sam.

Missed out on the Velogames league, just got the official TDF game. What a pile of piss, lost interest in it before the first week was over.
