2017 Tour de France Fantasy League

Well this is embarrassing. Looks like I'm 200. 262 is my points total

Froome is a good safe pick because he will score a lot of points. But while he is scoring points for you, he is also scoring points for almost 70% of Hubbers.

Thomas is an even better pick because he is racking up points this week while he holds on to the yellow jersey and only 10% of Hubbers have him. Then when the mountains come you swap him out for someone who is likely to get you more points.

Doesn't this assume, that you either picked Froome or Thomas? What if instead of Thomas, you bagged someone whos is going to score points consistently for three weeks?

 

I agree that Froome and Sagan are probably instapicks, but i think your assessment of Thomas might be a little rash. I would be very interested to see a final analysis at the end of three weeks and how many of the top 20 or so actually had Thomas.

 

[Edit]: Good point on the substitution of Thomas out though. Now the serious question, how many people picked Thomas with stage 1 in mind? I definitely didn't give him that much of a chance xD

I'm 262. Looks like we almost have the same team

Not such a cunning plan after all then . . . .

I am not even going to comment. my picking is really bad... definately not great at these games

Observation, the first team to not have Geraint Thomas is sitting in 21st position. The 900 people who didn't pick him will have a pretty slim chance of winning in the end.

Today was a stupid day, stewpid!

Let's face it, those who picked G, didn't pick him for the TT win and the subsequent yellow points he is getting, they got lucky!

I disagree, reckon people will keep him because he bagged points in the first week and then he ends up being a domestique.

 

We will see come Paris.

you could do more gloating with the gorilla on the road and Yates on the bench!

Yup, thought Yates would be bringing in the young rider points from early on while Greipel rests for the 2nd half

Team Cadavar.

Stage 1 @ 41st

Stage 2 @ 30th

Stage 3  @ 18th.

For today Kittel needs to win, G still in yellow. Sagz up there as well and the points will accumulate.

Kristoff, Gilbert and Rolland need to step up to the plate or one of them will become reserve Tyre Pressure Checker comes rest day.

Happy with GVA yesterday. Though he might just pip Sagz to the line, but alas......next time.

That Kristoff!!! Oh boy, he is turning out to be as useful as JarJar Binks!
