I am open for both sides...I think steals can be done quickly now and then we can give a longer time for renewals while the transfer season in MG is running, so we start with the Free Agency when transfers in man-game are done?

Steals and renewals can be same time with MG transfers and the rest after.

i'm new to ICL this year, if it not too much trouble, while we wait, maybe explain in further detail, what new people would need to be ready for the season.

I don't mind starting now, MG is going to take some time and I hate to see this slow down.

Yes please. Same here. What are the next steps?

Only the first transfer week if MG is mayhem.. we could do steals snd renewals slowly now. Tge more we get done before summer holidays the better.

Thinking about the potion of youths, Bikex, would something like this not be an option:

AVG	70	75	80
33-34	£50	£120	£250
34-35	£90	£190	£380

So for the top tier riders, who likely will have had more than their share of time as the best riders in the ICL, it will cost much more than domestiques for a potion of youth.

@bikex wich game are you going to use 15 or 16?

Put it in one more column for riders around 77-78 I'd say and it's a great idea!

Thank you Shonak, absolutely put up other columns and change the amounts! I was just putting up the general idea.




More like 13 or 15! 100% PCM2015 I believe.

I'd asked in a PM and he'd said PCM 15

Question on budgeting, since I'm trying to figure that out from early on: If we signed development riders last season, are their wages paid from last season's scouting funds, or from this season's overall budget?

This season's overall budget, more precisely the Dev team budget of 1200

Really agree with jaxika on this one. When you're ready Bikex and do say if you need some help with the more general things.

Indeed. Steals can be posted already. Just transfers (and perhaps R1 of FA) should wait.

I've now updated the database after some mistakes: https://www.mediafire.com/download/617...eason.xlsx
You'll notice that the Last Season column is different than before from its content, that's because my file was completely messed up. From the new calculation Alberto Contador would've decided that it was his last season(The chance was 6%). However I saved him, as Shonak spent quite a lot of money on his AoD already before the Last Season column was introduced. I won't do that if it happens again next season. Every rider 33 or older can decide that it is his last season. The probability this is going to happen depends on his average and age.

The vote about the last PT team was really close but in the end TVM edged out CCC by just one vote.
In the spoiler are the budgets for this season. This time goal races had a little more influence than before, that's why Allianz has the biggest budget. U23 teams still give 1200 extra.
This season WT teams will need 25 riders and CT teams 18.



Steals will come on Thursday or Friday.

For new managers it could be helpful to read the link matt posted a few posts ago, it leads to a text written by trekbmc, which can be used as some kind of guide for the first few tasks.

Wow, this wasnt expected. And as i see some nice free agents, but i think they will go to new teams

Well, to be fair I voted for TVM at the beginning so my vote give him a WT spot (I could vote for myself or not voting either).

Thank you for preventing a heart attack bikex!
