How can Mezgec possibly underperform as a 4-pointer??

Every time I sign-up for a velogames competition I think I'm going to do well for once and then everything falls apart quick. At least I had fun naming my team for a change. 
I'll be back for the Tour... and I'm going to win!

My Bavaria Team. Slowly but surely making progress up the overall ladder and the pcmdaily ladder.
From highest to lowest cost:
Quintana- Disappointing so far with only 193.
Uran- Second best of my riders, doing pretty well considering he was 8 cheaper than Quintana, on 435 points.
Pozzovivo- Not doing too badly with 265 but I think he will improve and score better soon.
Cunego- Has only scored 12, absolutely crap from him.
Matthews- Same price as Cunego but with 593 is my highest scorer, was vital to keeping my team in the middle.
Castroviejo- 2 points and doesn't look like improving.
Hoogerland- Only one on 0, hoping he scores from the breakaway.
Pauwels- With 91 he hasn't been too bad, hoping for more assist points.
Rubiano- 42 points and I hope to see him go after the KOM.
I mean the team hasn't scored very well but I think my riders are all still in the race.

This Giro Velogames has been disaster for me.
Kittel and Martin double whammy really. Also stuck with Neimiec so I have been really hit with bad luck really.
I have Quintana, Kiserlowski, Monfort, Siutsou, Keldeman. I can think that maybe three or four of them will end up in the top 10 on GC. Both Monfort and Siutsou look like improving as the race goes on.
Also have KoM hunter Pirazzi and yes this guy already looks like he will be battling for that.
Still am a bit bummed Matthews, Bouhanni would have been better choices clearly than Kittel and Anyone would have been better than Martin. That said I fancied Purito to go well here, I also like Aru though who looks a good chance of a top 10.
Certainly would not have gone for Ulissi who looks outstanding for lots of points.

Forgot that I only paid 4 points for him. Still after Kittel abandoned he could've won that one stage. |

So, the one time my 3 sprinters get in a decent position, I get 5th and 2 crashes. Typical. |

No Kittel anymore for these stages and then Farrar does a Farrar and drops his bike in front of the Giant train of Mezgec...great. |

Uran and Battaglin gave me some points, plus the GC-points mean I probably won't drop too far back.

Colbrelli has scored for me a grand total of 0 points. In 10 stages. This is absolutely scandalous. |

And the fact Colbrelli is the same price as rampant Diego Ulissi just rubs it in. |

I blame Viviani for my team's poor ranking. He should have done better. Oh and myself for swapping Weening with Geshcke in the last moment.
At least I was right that Kittel wasn't worth the 18th points. Too bad Mezgec fucked up 2/3 sprints though.

I thought about Colbrelli...then I got Ulussi Not that it's helping me enough in the grand scheme of things.
Was banking on Scarponi doing the reliable thing (his results in the run up were if anything a little better than last year) but he's a crash victim alongside Niemic (crahes/mechanical) and Landa (more crashes though he was more a stage man). Don't even want to think about Kittel who would've been good for 4+ stages before a likely planned (not sick) pull out. Also was tempted by Ferrari...but didn't pick him.
Only plus points (other than Ulissi) are Evans doing his consistently high stage finish thing and Pozzo looking particularly good.
