    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

    Not playing premium this year but this game gives me plenty of interest especially after an unexpectedly good MSR. Not a bad purist team really.

    Part of me wishes I’d picked Contador now but I went for a young clean (I hope) team and as it wasn’t oriented to the classics I’m pleased with my start but can’t see TvG matching Contador somehow (and they both cost 16).

    But if Swift and Lobato do well that would help a lot, especially as very few have Lobato I reckon.

    I’ve got Lobato….top scorer on my team so far….and being widely touted as the premier Spanish sprinter now(surpassing Rojas I guess?)


    Ah yes. I’ve looked at your team now. Lobato top for me as well with Kwia and then Swift. You should catch me up soon if Boonen goes as well as expected. I think I’ve got more GC guys though!

    Good game actually. I saw something about it on the forum last year but was too late to do anything. Only saw a thread about it on the 27th and put in my team the next day. Gives some interest to nearly every race. Hoping for Hofland, D van Poppel, Trentin and Wynants for the Belgian races and got plenty of people for this one although nothing for today.

    Let’s hope Gerrans gets better soon. Hoping for something in the Ardennes from him.

    180 so far. Let’s hope for some more tomorrow and Sunday!
