Podium Cafe VDS

    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 that fussed about this competition so I picked a load of cheap riders I like so, if they win, I’m happy. Team is probably over-swayed towards early season form and too many climbers, only one classics rider and only second-tier sprinters. What the hell.

    Still tinkering with my men’s team but submitted my women’s team already, the name is “Right-handed OuOuOranges” if you’re interested.

    Men’s team wise, trying to decide whether to pick Sagan or not (he can’t do as well as last year surely?!) and then whether Booner or Gilbert will be back to full form this year or whether last year was the start of a proper slide.
