TDU stage 3
Well my purist plan failed at stg two, by not picking the winner.I shudda picked useless, I did consider it. So are we all picking G for stag three, hoping he repeats his heroics with a corkscrew? Well I have not transferred him in.

Used all 3 transfers for stage 4.......looks like a nothing stage except for a bunch sprint but these are the sorts of stages where mini-tours are won and lost fantasy wise(particularly in the Forum's Scorum's)
one word for me as a season opener......
Nightmare!
Pretty happy with that....G in for Matthews gave me a 13pt profit.
1,2,3,5,10,13(G) on the stage plus top 6 on GC...All 5 in sprints comp...3,4,5 in KOM...plus 4 of the 6 scorers on Corkscrew....all added up to 171pts and moves me into 3rd for London and 3rd in Forum's Scorum's and 33rd in the TDU.......sticking with the 'threes' I've got 3 transfers for stage 4 too!!
#StillHappyDays
Hmmm 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10
1,3,5,11 plus a point for Gavazzi = 150 so getting better each stage.
No Evans has absolutely killed me! Nevermind its just a game
1,3,5,8,10,11,19 not bad
Well after accidentally bringing in kittel yesterday, swapping him out for Evans was defo a good idea!
Shudda picked Evans.
Transfers were ok and bad gesink for rojas couldnt gonwrong.
Ellisonde for geschke was a disaster.
Should have swapped roelandts for evans.
#regrets.
Something of a jour sans for me today. And once again, beaten by my own purist team! Still banked a couple of transfers so not all doom & gloom.

playing catch up big time
so 10 point penalty for me 
3 changes, hoping for a better result than the last 2 days!
This is my 500th post. Where better to share it than this thread!
A Belgian and a Dutchman brought in. Had considered sticking and saving transfers for sprinters for Stage 4. May resort to taking penalty points.
Like your team, TER!
Hmm To G or not to G?
He was on my radar, but I looked at my team and thought, two sprints and a mountain top finish, so thought no as he may feature tomorrow, but he wont feature in the last 3 stages. So I made no changes, hoping the likes of the 3 I mentioned above feature, making it easier for the last 3 stages
He who dares wins though?
Was gonna bring in Gavazzi but would need to make 2 transfers and drop Hermans and Dennis to do so, and would have messed me up for tomorrow. Also wanted cuddles. So hopping cuddles doesn't place and Gavazzi doesn't make it. Something from Dennis would be nice, Bouet, Hermans and Geschke placing top 10 works for me.
Gerrans for the win
Greipel
Gerrans
Ullisi
Bouet
Gesink
Hermans
Geschke

Alaphillipe
Brought in Gavazzi and Will Clarke, hoping to get a full house for this stage.
Dave, have you any idea why I seem to be able to post two. Identical topics when I click save? I am using android and the sony tabs own browser.
Was going to ask you how youre doing that and why lol
Back on topic not picked Gee although I do feel bad about it but I have bought in "useless" and banking 1 transfer
sometimes if you think it hasn't saved and you refresh then it posts twice. maybe that?
Maybe it is cos my sony tab is touch screen, and when the save button is quite small and my old fat fingers are so clumsy, I tend to touch the button for a few seconds to make sure the touch registers, so that might get taken as a double click..... Clark for the win in stage three, I hope
Ive brought in a german and a flying dutchman. No welsh dragons were brought in
