    I have 6 riders from the last event that are not riding Tour of Flanders. I only have 4 transfers.

    How can I get a full team… should be allowed to swap non-riders without using transfers.

    How about it !!!!

    Right guys, remember, 4
    Right guys, remember, 4 transfers, yep that’s right, 4!!! And three days research. You got plenty of time. If you have greyed out ds wouldn’t worry too much if they’re low value. Use your four for the big hitters 😀 No need for the reset button either as it’s NOT unlimited. That’s right, you heard me correctly. No unlimited t/f’s for L-B-L 😉

    Good point…

    Ok, it’s a fair playing field… I’m not saying it isn’t…

    Look, I love the game, it’s fantastic, don’t get me wrong, I’m hooked and I love it… It’s way more challenging than any other game I’ve played…

    I see your point, but what I like the most about what I’m proposing is that I could rest easy knowing I can make changes whenever I wanted to if I want to… It’s just a convenience… I still think that:

    I think it just gives you the chance to put together the best team you can think of and also adapt if the circumstances change!… I may be wrong, but… I like the idea!… What can I say?…

    It will be even more challenging come the tours for many of us who have no access to a computer at work to do our t/f’s 20mins before the deadline. Last year I would do my t/f before going to bed and the following day discover during the stage I had greyed out riders.

    There is also no guarantee that using the reset button will bring you extra points. Amstel was proof of that. Most people had really strong teams and we all crashed and burned big time.

    BTW Dave, what was the high score for Amstel. And to give us all a giggle, what was the low score due to ‘penalty’ points – no need for names 😀

    Its no different in fantasy
    Its no different in fantasy football, if some one pulls out before kick off, you don’t get a transfer because they got injured.

    Dave you took the words right out of my mouth…..If all the whingers can find the time to hit a “reset” button just before race start,then why can`t they wait until then to pick their team….
    The game is ACE…..Greyed out riders are part of the conundrum when selecting for the classics……Its the same conundrum for everyone and so it is a level playing field……A reset button would just make it easier for people who do not put in the effort researching on cycling websites……
    Lets try and not forget that this is a free game,thats run by an open and honest crew that do their best to satisfy most people for most of the time,knowing full well that its impossible to satisfy everybody all of the time….. LETS JUST ENJOY IT…. 🙂

    So where is the difference?

    Waiting till the last minute to put your team in or make changes, against picking your team and then at the last minute hitting reset because some of the riders have withdrawn. 😕

    I see your point. I have nothing against planning, actually. I have something against last minute withdrawals and having to wait till the last minute to enter your team. I guess the Reset Button makes sense to me mostly because of withdrawals. When you put together a team and want to save it, I think you should be able to. It just gives me peace of mind that I don’t have to wait to the last minute to enter a team because I have to worry about withdrawals. I guess there’s two different crowds here, one that loves the game with all its restrictions and another that just wantes to be able to not worry about last minute withdrawals. I don’t know how it works in professional but maybe, like them, we could list reserves… I don’t know… I know I like the game enough to not quit it… It’s extremely entertaining either way… I just wish there was a contingency for withdrawals… I’ll ask Dave again… Dave, would you consider creating a thread where you post the changes you make to the game start list?

    Soemthing like:

    Tues Apr 17 2011

    IN
    Oscar Freire
    Rigoberto Uran

    OUT
    Samuel Sanchez
    Peter Sagan

    I think it would be fair and shouldn’t be that much trouble since you have to enter the information into the system anyways! I think that would go a long way towards easing this a little…

    Sometimes if people don’t mention things in the forum I never find out… I was one that, until it was mentioned in the forum, thought Sanchez was riding because he was on the game start list…

    Like TER says, it will make it an easy way out, instead of having to plan a few days of transfers to get your team on an even keel again.

    People come and go in ever game, for every few that say they are done, one might leave, but then again another few my stubble across the game and stay.

    I think if the game gets to easy, more people will decide not to play and not bother with time and effort of picking a team and working out transfers. If you have a reset, its just an easy way out.

    I’m with option 2 myself, i have my staple gun and post it notepad ready 😉

    I like that, and like it that once you make a decision you must stick with it, and then suffer any consequences or reward. For me things become to easy else. so im against a reset button.

    I don’t see a big deal against implementing it! 🙂 If you like waiting till the last minute to pick your team, you wait until the last minute and don’t use the ‘Reset’ button! It would be your choice! But, even in a Grand Tour, someone gets sick during the day and you already made your picks? Why not offer the ‘Reset’ button? Sure! people may not use it much, but it takes an aggravation out of the game and more people may stick around and play longer rather than give up on their team as some are claiming in the Fleche thread they will do because they’re frustrated… I see no pain in instituting it for the Classics, for the Tours, or for any of the stage races! Try it! You”ll like it. I bet a lot more people will say ‘Thank you!’ rather than ‘I hate the Reset button! I’m quitting the game because of the Reset Button! It’s ruined my life’! 🙂

    By the way, I’ll take option 1 🙂

    The way I see it there’s two options, unlink the classics and give unlimited transfers between each one, or staple a notice to every players hand explaining the rules to them and making sure they know how the classics work.

    Personally, I favour option 2 🙂

    I like how it works right now but with so many complaints/issues I guess there’s room for improvement next year.

    Totally agree gkam. I just wish some folk would mtfu. I learnt the hard way at the begining of the season. I now make time to figure stuff out. My shift pattern means I have to confirm the day before. Todays result – have just lost two riders with the hour countdown in single digits. That’s the way it goes. People don’t need to get rid of all the grey riders. Bite the bullet use the t/f’s needed on guaranteed points and only use penalty points if you are confident of getting a high score
