    Well, here I go with a crazy idea.

    The last week of the Giro seems to be tailor made for Premium members to stack up on transfers and come in with a bunch of sprinters on the last day… And therefore beat the crap out of any Standard player still standing! 🙂 I guess it would probably take a miracle for anyone playing Standard to win in this scenario.

    So, how about this? 🙂

    Dave, why don’t you award ANY Standard player who is in the Top 50 in the Giro standings at that point, say Stage 16, 17 or 18, at your discretion, a ‘CARRY OVER ALL YOUR TRANSFERS FOR THE LAST WEEK OF THE GIRO’ card as a reward for being in the running at the end of the competition?

    I can’t imagine there’ll be too many Standard players left in the running at that point and it would certainly reward a smart player who’s broke! 🙂

    On the other hand, if not that, why not give the Top Standard player for the Giro a FREE Premium membership as a prize at the end of the competition? Sounds nice to me! 🙂

    Or maybe you could award a Free Premium membership for next year, to the 4th place, or whatever position that does not get a prize at the end of a competition, whether they are Standrad or Premium? Just for fun! Will you think about it? Thanks! 🙂

    I’ve just had a quick look at the parcours for the race and actually, I see no point where I’d be happy keeping my team the same for three or four days running. I don’t see the carrying forward of transfers being that much of a differentiator at all to be honest.

    I honestly don’t see the carry forward as that much of a bonus. There are not many points in the race where you’ll want to keep back two or three days worth of transfers and if your are doing that then you’ll be falling behind the guys changing their teams to suit the terrain.

    Following the terrain, picking guys on form or chasing jerseys, making small adjustments to your team, will keep you in the running. Planning to save up 10 transfers will lead to you losing loads of ground and being nowhere near the top 100 come the last week.

    You continue to make a big deal out of this but I don’t see it as a massive issue, a premium player will most likely win the Giro and no doubt you’ll say it was because of the transfers but in actually fact its because more of the better players are premium.
