@Manx: Thanks! Yea, I aim to be active and participating. Once I have riders, I'll make sure to get a clean HQ.
@Jandal: That's a very cool trophy to have. It shouldn't be in a drawer, but on the wall in the living room! I mainly use this site to get databases. I've seen ManGame a lot of times, looked very cool, but could never figure out how or when to enter. I got a notification on Discord and immediately signed up.
@Bush: I'll try to get one or two Swiss riders for sure, but it won't be a priority for me. I aim to have Italians as my #1 priority.
@Roturn: I'm somewhat surprised that nobody has ever played Saeco. Great team, great jersey. With Saeco being owned by Philips, the company is proudly familiar with ManGame! Perhaps Philips current stock crisis caused them to change strategies, lower their budget and focus on a different brand. I like your new sponsor too, I must say that I feel some '00s vibes from your jersey as well, perhaps it's the US Postal blue. Either way, a really nice design. With your rebrand, I'm sure you want to get rid of your Italians now, I know a way to make that happen!
@Alex: Thank you! |

Welcome to the MG peloton and congratulations on taking the first steps to creating your team. Looks like a very nice sponsor and a great classic jersey. Looking forward to see how you'll manage your first transfer period!

I like the mix of sponsor regions goals it gives you some nationality focus while still allowing you to work across the whole peloton. Balancing all those should keep your transfers interesting.
McCormick also ride Cannondale so maybe we can help with that one US flag.

I love the map and the signings associated with them! So many classic Italian riders joining a classic Italian team. I will have fun competing in CT with you this year!
Zambanini is going to be scary |

Love the map - looks like a few of your riders used to be neighbours 
Your squad is looking fantastic too, you've done exceptionally well in a tough free agency to put together a really strong squad, and stuck to your regional focus as well - really good job Ciccone, Zordan and Trentin are a great trio, and on really good wages as well.

As Eden said nicely balanced squad while maintaining a strong Italian focus, very impressive. Just stay away from the TTTs

This seems like a soid squad for debuting in the MGUCI circuit with a nice regional focus and some talents. I think we will meet in many races as our teams have a pretty comparable distribution of strengths (mountains and hills) and weaknesses (TTs and cobbles and probably sprints). So see you soon!

Think you did very well in your first transfer season. Solid scorers in different terrains, and a lovely talent in Zambanini. And all sponsor goals checked off?  Nice mapping work

Damn, you beat me on the map thing! (Not like I've had a whole year to do it )
Nice first team, as others have said, now there'll be planning to manage, but seems like you can cover everything.
Soon on the road!

Good team for your first season. Nice regionbal pickups and mostly balanced. Ciccone could be scary with his PRL abilities and general skill. But in other departments i see some room for us. Good luck on your first season and the draft, lets see what you add there.

I love the Trentin pick up for only 100k

You've put together a really good initial squad with some fun riders. Zambanini in particular will be a great team leader with the right training. 130k is a deal for him. Good luck this season!

Think you stuck your regional demands quite well and still covered most terrains. Hopefully the results follow

I think it's a really good first time CT team. Excited to watch Ulissi still getting chances to deliver big in the twilight of his illustrious career in a Saeco retro jersey, that's just special.

You did well for your transfer season, congrats! I love the regional focus.
And with Trentin you found a good cobbles leader. He will score a lot of points in CT as quite some teams don't focus on this domain.
My only worry is the TTT setup, especially with 3 'mountain' stage races having an TTT (Trentino, Vancouver and Catalunya) if I'm correct.

Some relatively expensive guys at the top, but I think you'll come to love Ciccone if planned well! He has a very cool statline that might surprise a few of your competitors.
Also McLay is an absolute steal! Well done
