    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

    Bardet and Kelderman at
    Bardet and Kelderman at Paris-Nice is likely to be the benchmark as to whether my rationale of picking lots of cheap young’uns is a better idea than known points scorers.

    Just seen the ‘similar teams to yours’ point on VDS – Hopefully we can share in eachother’s success TERatcliffe.

    To be honest, its my low
    To be honest, its my low pried riders who scored little last year, and have raced have done well. Colbrelli already outscored his 100 from last year, Arredondo with nothing last year already has 130, and Bennett again with 100 has already outscored last year. Demare and Greipel have already got there points rolling, so im not too concerned about where I stand. After T-A we will have a better idea of who may do well

    Serves me right for picking mainly stage racers, should have loaded up on classics riders X(

    Hofland in particular looks like a great rider to have picked, 200 pts for 1 credit and likely to get a few other outings through the year.

    I think people are thinking a par score for a rider is around 100pts per credit?

    Hofland looks good….riding P-N by the looks of it too(look at his price in Road CC now….more than a Westra,Kelderman or Kangert!!)

    But Doc….you’ve been around long enough to know that the stage riders will start getting points when the stage races really get going?
