Fantasy Cycling

1337 comments · 7051 views
Hey! There are TWO different fantasy games on Velogames.com going on. The Spring Classics Game (9 riders and unlimited transfers) and the Spring Classics Squad Game (12 riders and 24 transfers). I decided to double my fun, but I am the only one with a "squad" game in the Kissena League. 

Join me!
1, 3, 6, and 9. I'll take that.
Completely got it wrong ,really expecting a sprint finish
Naesan and wan alert looking good for the cobbles

So i woke up early , i know let's tweak my fantasy team , took out van aert and bettiol
Bettiol is impressive recently

I’m having the worst fantasy season , I’m like Aru, 0 points at Dwars 
Kristoff ? Degenkolb ?
my last pick to save my season 
I changed my roster so many times today. Someone stop me. 

I put in Kristoff then removed him based on something that I heard about his position on the bike! Then I read he changed his position! Maybe I can take Peyote and the winner will come to me in a vision!

Im going with Degenkolb, Stybar and Van Aert for the podium 
Big day for me, will be happy with Podium finish
bad day for me. 
A few a few of us had Politt. Good thing that I did, because the rest of my team was practically a no show. Glad to see Gilbert pull it off even if he wasn’t on my team

Van Aert bonks at end of rough Paris-Roubaix

I saw him reach to one pocket , then the other , I knew he was done, shame 
was routing for him 
I think we all picked the top 4😬
@Jeff Condon impressed with your Lambrecht pick, deep kknowledge😩  
Top 7.  :p
I can't believe the finish of Amstel!!!
If this guy is clean, this could be the single most amazing finish, most aggressive riding, I have ever seen in 30 years of spectating bike races.

I expected all those guys to come around him. Even he can't believe it.

Nice Job @PatrickGrehan

Thanks. Did you see my overall rank was 168 of 4944? Makes me happy, although I think some of my success comes from people forgetting to update their teams for midweek races. 

I am home sick this morning and have too much time on my hands today as I was curious and graphed our team progress. Max and Jeff were consistently duking it out and Mark came on strong at Roubaix and nearly knocked one of them off the podium. 



I did not have good sensations early on😂
I definitely forgot to update my roster for those midweek races but my actual picks didn't net me many points anyways 
@Robert you and I were just doing proper rest between efforts, these guys will be a mess for the Giro.
@JohnMalcolmson periodization, baby 
Good season, y'all. Thanks for the fun graph, @PatrickGrehan. Also note: Patrick and I played the old Classics Squad version of the game...and he beat me there, too. He's for real.

I think I prefer the Squad version, but what did everybody else think about the new format?
Squad version Is definitely more challenging and work. New version is less effort IMO. 
I also prefer the old squad format , i think it becomes easier to pick up riders that are doing well , maybe if the cost of the rider increased , MVDP staying at 12 points seems crazy 
Fantasy Giro???
