It was looking pretty good for me as well just before the crash as I had Phil, Sagan, GVA and Naesen in my team. Guess a lot of other people had those four as well though.
Frustrating nevertheless.

1,2,5 at Flanders. I've moved to within a few points of the top 25. Still got plenty of transfers so hopefully I can move up a few more over the next couple of weeks.

I am absolutely livid from Flanders
At a point I had trentin, van baarle, sagan, Naesen and gva in the front 7 riders and was going to move probably up into top 200 overall, but then everything fell apart, but this was felt by everyone too if it softens the pain  |

Darn, switched Cav in yesterday, saw he wasn't starting today, so I went for Greipel instead. Counts as two transfers, even if it's in the same period.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

 You have to use the "reset" function first then it would revert to the pre Cav team, returning your transfer in the process, before you make the Greipel transfer. It's not made that clear on the site and annoying either way

Well my team has been going horribly and I don't expect that to change for Roubaix. My only good selections which I've had from the start have been Durbridge and Naeson.

Well that was a disaster. Cavendish and Demare brought in. One did not start, the other didn't bother turning up.
Oh well. Got my transfers for Roubaix in early. Stannard over EBH was my main deliberation.

Thanks for the info, let's hope it doesn't come down to one transfer short in the end. Anyway, Greipel wasn't much better than Cav

Only change I made was Sagan to Dagenkolb for Roubaix, leaves me with 13 transfers for the Ardennes

I managed to get through the first races with only 4 transfers and still did well which was my strategy all along, so I had the freedom to swap in 4 riders just for Scheldeprijs.
Greipel did nothing but I got 1-2-3 with the others which gave me the lead now, and still enough transfers left for Roubaix and a whole reset before the Ardennes.

No, shame about the, seemingly inevitable, crash that held him and others up.

Nice! Scheldeprijs is a gamble whatever you do - potentially the most predictable top 5...but only if they make it to the finish! No transfers can miss out on easy points or lots of transfers...only for them all to come down in a crash :/

What a pity, held on to Stybar for the whole cobble campaign, except for today. As he didn't perform well so far, I swapped him for.. Boonen. |

I'm still lurking just outside the top 25. I can't seem to break into the points this year.

And then I switched out Greipel for Stannard. Yeah..

Same situation here. I was unlucky and "only" had GVA in Roubaix so I lost the lead again, but I'm still within striking distance.
Top 3 in the league and Top 100 overall are the goals.

Doing pretty well being 10th in our league. Only have 10 transfers left so hoping my picks are good, i think they are tbh. |

Made my transfers for the Ardennes, still have 3 to play with which i'll use after Amstel. If I could drag myself into the top 10 in our league I'd be pretty happy.
