    Hello,

     

    At the end of last year I said I'd be setting up an off-site league in one of the other bigger fantasy games.  The game is the Podium Cafe VDS and it is a year long squad based game.  You get a budget, pick a squad based on a set of rules then that's it.  No transfers, no picking teams, nothing.  You just have to trust your guys to go out and get you some points.

    The game runs across both women's and men's racing the calendar is very extensive covering everything from Grand Tours to national championships.

    An intro to the game can be found here – http://www.podiumcafe.com/2014/2/3/5370538/fsa-directeur-sportif-2014-starts-now

    And the game itself is here – http://pdcvds.com/

    League's don't seem to work too well so if anyone else is interested in competing we'll need to add each other to our own personal leagues, that means if you 're in you need to post your DS name and team name in this thread.  I'll keep track of the results through the year.

    My details are:- DS name – drheaton Men's team – Mostly Hopeless Women's team – Right-handed OuOuOranges

    Competitors: (DS – Men's Team – Women's Team)
    TERatcliffe26 – TERatcliffe26
    shutuplegs – Avengers:Age of Nick! – Ladies 1st
    The Domestique – The Domestique
    raysilvester1 – Big Rays Riders
    Ghedebrav – Voodoo All Stars
    Twybaydos – Topsport Torquay – Topsport Torquay Femennile
    chiv30 – Carbon crutches and epo
    Pure fantasy – Pure fantasy – Pure fantasy women

    This one slipped the radar,
    This one slipped the radar, mainly because I set up a mini league on my VDS profile and forgot to tell you how things were going. Will post full final results soon but:

    Dux89 won the mens competition
    I won the ladies

    On the basis I came second in mens and Dux didn’t enter, I think I also won the combined.

    I enjoyed playing, I thoroughly recommend this next year for those who missed out. If I recall teams have to be entered by February so get ready to unrealistically expect riders can carry their TDU form into the business end of the 2015 season.

    Results after the Giro. I
    Results after the Giro. I clawed back a lot of points from Dux 89 in the final standings where Pozzo, Kelderman, Geniez and Arredondo scored more than his Uran, but Dux is still ahead of me by 32 points (or a Bryan Coquard stage win in the French cup).

    Men – Big changes, bad times for Ghedebrav, great results for Ray and Nick, who moved off the bottom

    1.(2) Dane C – Velohuman Pro Cycling 7448
    2.(1) Twybaydos Topsport Torquay 7416
    3.(6) raysilvester1 Big Rays Riders 6232
    4.(4) Pure fantasy Pure fantasy 5894
    5.(8) TERatcliffe26 TERatcliffe26 5469
    6.(10) shutuplegs Avengers:Age of Nick! 5288
    7. (7) The Domestique The Domestique 5024
    8.(5) drheaton Mostly Hopeless 4743
    9.(3) Ghedebrav Voodoo All Stars 4649
    10.(9) chiv30 carbon crutches and epo 3902

    5.(3) Ghedebrav Voodoo All Stars 5192
    6.(4). Pure fantasy Pure fantasy women 4434
    7. The Domestique The Domestique 3188

    Combined (a count-back of overall place in each game rather than total score):
    1. Twybaydos 46
    2.(3) shutuplegs 235
    3.(6) TERatcliffe26 263
    4.(5). drheaton 290
    5.(3) PureFantasy 315
    6.(2). Ghedebrav 327
    7. The Domestique 425

    It’s probably not worth updating the results until after TDF.

    I haven’t updated this for a while as things weren’t really moving enough week on week to justify it.

    After Giro I’ll aim to tot up scores. At the moment Dux89 (DaneC) is now beating me by 200 points but if my Pozzo and Kelderman finish above his Uran and Arredondo gets the mountains jersey I may claw this back. Uran finishing second would only give Dane 450 points but 6+7+mts yields 585.

    Aru was only 6 points by the way….

    Ditto!
    Got Swift, Rolland, Amador and Haas as well. But no Porte, my big mistake! :”(

    Yeah…..Uran would be nice for me too….plus a sprints jersey for Bouhanni perhaps?

    Complete bust for me at the giro today. (more geared to overall with J-Rod and Pozz, and outside potential from Basso, Monfort, Geniez, Zoidl, Arredondo. Only Colbrelli that could do something on flatter stages)

    Just need Demare to hold on to the overall at 4JDD though

    As for my women, Vos looks like she is gonna pull me back into contention and make her selection worth it
