    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

    Also remember that National
    Also remember that National Championships score 100 points for a win (nothing for a place). I did well out of Impey when he won his National Championship, cheap riders who can score in one or two races could be strong picks. Also, riders who had a poor year last year (Boonen, Schleck, Gilbert etc) can be had for less now but are obviously risky.

    Oh, and points are weighted towards GC and one day races. The drop off for placing in stage race finishes is pretty harsh, only the first five on a grand tour stage will score so picking a rider who gets a lot of top 10s but no wins won’t do you any good.

    I had that problem at first, but gone for likely stage winners on the flat, with a fair few 2 and 1 credit riders, and riders you wouldn’t necessarily pick for big races. For example, Stetina will race ToC, and could finish top 10, same for Deignan, Arrendondo

    Just one thing to note if
    Just one thing to note if you’re interested in playing, you don’t have to submit your team once picked, you can add riders then chop and change up to the deadline. The readers of the site, http://www.podiumcafe.com/ , tend to get about as excited as road.cc users do when it comes to picking teams so there’ll be plenty of analysis and threads over the next couple of weeks offering tips.

    Depending on the takeup this year I might throw together a draft version of this next year.
