Fantasy TDF
June 30, 2016, 10:45:00 am
Hi All,

For a bit a break from the political shizzle - how about entering a Fantasy TDF team? Same principle as fantasy football, but.... you get the jist

I've set up a mini league for UKB'ers:

http://www.velogames.com/

League Name:   TeamUKB
League Code: 36301033427

:)

TT

When's the closing date, TT? Completely out of the loop on when the Tour even is!

Don't know - took me 2 min to sign up, log in and set up an initial randomish team though.. a load of us doing it at work..

I didnt spot the 'administer EPO' button  - but it may be there ;)

Sounds like a strategy doomed to failure to me! I'll have a look tonight, scrutinise the transfer and point scoring rules, and create a super team. Shouldn't take more than 4 hours  ;)

But how are we supposed to know who's got the most cunningly concealed motor?  :shrug:

Word of caution. This one is a no transfers league so the team you select at the start is the one you'll be stuck with.

That's because you are not allowed substitutes in a multi stage bike race.

I hope you all had Cav as your team sprinter. So much for him being finished. :dance1:

Fucking Kittel... chuffed to see Cav win the stage though, annoyed that I doubted him. Having said that I still think Kittel will win more stages than Cav this tour.

Another Cav win, moves him into 2nd of all time, should have put him in my team, but at least Greipel came second

It's that time of year again!

As far as I can see there hasn't been a new UKB league set up yet, if there is and I've missed it please post details and I'll join that. Assuming not, I've set up a UKB league, entry deadline is 2pm Saturday:

Hopefully less drug scandals this year than my team name might imply (All the PEDs)

Typically I continue my astounding run of misfortune with fantasy leagues across a range of sports.

Spent ages on Friday juggling the team and pretty much swapped out the whole thing putting principles on one side; just to accommodate Valverde...

Its a marathon and a sprint mind.
