New Riders for ManGame - Suggestions
Jesleyh
Some more suggestions from my side, some more international ones.

Current stats just like last time. Assumed it would be fine the way I did it since I didn't hear anyone complaining Pfft

First for some Free Agent upgrades.

Roy Jans
Had a great season and should be a very useful Belgian sprinter. Often got Top5s in strong fields, even when racing against guys like Cav, Kittel and Greipel. Not a huge upgrade but deserves to be more useful imo.

Thomas Degand
Totally got the wrong specialisation. Proved this season he's more of a climber/puncher. He mainly proved that with Top 10s in big Continental races early and late season(Mediterraneen, Andalucia, Österreich Rundfahrt) but also managed to get a 17th place in the Suisse GC. Is a good TTists too and could be a good domestique in the MG.

Stijn Vandenbergh
Well I suppose you know this beastly cobbler. 4th at RvV. Is 30 in the DB so very borderline I admit. It's up to you if you want to include this change, but I'd surely like it Grin

Maximillian Werda
German sprinter/puncher who is terribly underrated at the moment. Had some good results at Continental level. Dominated Tour of Malopolska, and also had good results at for instance Volta a Portugal and Istrian Spring Trophy. Is best at hilly terrains with a sprint finish. Still young so should have some potential.

Now some new guys.

Baptiste Planckaert
An older sprinter that somehow wasn't in. Still not old at age 26 though. Had a lot of good results in Belgian and French races. 2nd in GP Marsaillaise, 5th in Halle-Ingooigem and 4th in Paris-Bourges are very notable. He knows his way around hills and cobbles as well, quite an allround sprinter.

Laurens De Vreese
A very good cobble domestique who is a powerful rider. Got some good results for himself as well, both a few sprint results and powerful results like Eneco. Got 33th and 24th in PR and RvV himself, but is also just a very good domestique, this year for Leukemans.

Christoph Pfingsten
Moved to PCT for 2014, to Bora. Was always a very decent CT rider and seemingly is ready for the step up now. He's a prologue specialist, that's clear. Had some very good results in prologues, got a win and a 2nd place on a lower level and a 12th place in Ster ZLM, which has a good field. He's also well able to handle hills, as shown in some of the Conti races.

Few more will come later, no time for more than this now Grin

Jaroslaw Marycz
This CCC rider won the Dookola Mazowsa stage race, had some other decent results over the season like a 6th place in a Tour of Norway stage. Is a sprinter that does best on hilly finishes. Also is a better ttist.

Andrej Rajsp
A decent sprinter. Did good in some of the local Croatian .2 races. Struggled at higher level, but should be a nice leadout.

Maris Bogdanovics
Interesting stats he had(huge FTR but rest very very very crappy). Struggling to find how he did get them, but thought I'd make him useful, since he's useful irl with some consistent sprint results, got Top 10s in most of the races he participated in, actually.

Tim Reske
A very young German sprinter. Doesn't have a lot of results, possibly because of injuries, couldn't find that. But did get a win in Poland, and also runner-up twice in Berlin and a few other good results. He's like 4,5 potential, but 5 would make him a tad too strong, thus 4.

Jochem Hoekstra
Not sure how I missed him the first time. a good fighter/TTist. Totally dominated the Tour of Berlin TT, and also got 2nd on the other important stage. Is also an attacker, got a lot of nice Top 3s(and even a solo win) in road races this season, too. Can handle hills.

Steven Lammertink
Was surprised he wasn't in yet. Both a good TTist and sprinter, and is very young. Got 2nd in a Vuelta a Burgos sprint. Rest is mainly TT results. 4th at the European ITT U23, dominating the Dutch ITT U23, 19th in the Burgos TT, 4th in the Ster ZLM prologue. Mainly the latter 2 have very strong, WT quality fields, making it even more impressive. Decision whether he should be 5 or 6 potential is all up to you, but in this case it doesn't make a big difference I think.

Matthias Plarre
Didn't have a great season, except for the fact he somehow got 8th in the European ITT U23. Was a lot better last year though and definitely showed he can be good. Combines sprinting results with TT results, just like the guy above, but is not as good.

Martin Laas
Probably the biggest Estonian talent of his generation. Not that it does mean much, but it's something. Mainly did well in the Baltic races in '14. Was very consistent around place 5 in the Baltic Chain Tour, which did have a very strong lineup for its level. Has some good results at Tour of Estonia 14 and some Latvian results in 2013 too. I'd say a sprinter, but showed in Baltic Chain that he has no trouble with hilly terrain either.

Pawel Bernas
A very good fighter who gathered a lot of points for Activejet in 2014. Got 3 wins in 2014, of which 2 solo. Really gets most of his results with solo finishes, often that is 3rd or 4th though. He can also sprint but not crazily well.
His Tour of China I win(seemingly from a pure sprint) looks weird from that perspective, but looking at the video footage, it seems that it was actually from a break that got reeled in PCM-ish at the line.

Adrian Kurek
A CCC sprinter that seemingly has to be a leadout for others, Matsyiak I'd say. However, the sprinting results he did get were pretty good. 2nd in Hainan and a sprint win in Estonia. Also got 8th in the Dookola Mazoowa(I will never spell this right) GC due to consistency.

Pawel Poljanski
Rode at Tinkoff in 2014, and so will he at 2015. A decent, young, domestique. Climber, I'd say. Because of being a pure domestique, he does not have many results on his own. He did show in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge that he's a pretty decent stage-racer, though.

Martin Otonicar
A talented Slovenian sprinter. Radenska's 2nd point scorer after Pibernik(who is hard to outscore). Mainly got results in Balkan races, including a win in the Belgrade I race. Should be mentioned that he's only from 1994, so very young too. Also got 4th in the Istrian prologue, so he can do that too.


At last I want to second Alak's suggestion for Buchmann. A good talented German climber, which is something the Germans don't have a lot of.

Next and probably last list of suggestions still to come Grin

I decided to spend another hour looking for riders to possibly add into the game. This time I have looked at Procyclingstats PCS Ranking. I will list up their rank, their name, age, nationality and status. If some of you guys feel they should be listed into the game, then you can make stats for them:

104 Niccolo Bonifazio, 21, Italy - One-Day-Racer
155 Roy Jans, 24, Belgium - Sprinter (Is FA, but might need adjusting)
196 Stephane Rossetto, 27, France - GC with TT (Is FA, but might need adjusting)
319 Matteo Pelucchi, 25, Italy - One-Day-Racer with sprint
322 Benoit Jarrier, 25, France - One-Day-Racer
336 Hugh Carthy, 20, England - GC/Climber (Is FA, but might need adjusting)
344 Sam Witmitz, 29, Australia - TT
375 Pierre-Luc Perichon, 27, France - Allround (Is FA, but might need adjusting)
376 Jasper de Buyst, 20, Belgium - Allround
384 Laurens de Vreese, 26, Belgium - One-Day-Racer / Climber
392 Gianfranco Zilioli, 24, Italy - One-Day-Racer / Climber
399 Pawel Bernas, 24, Poland - GC
409 Thomas Vaubourzeix, 25, France - GC

430 Thomas Sprengers, 24, Belgium - One-Day-Racer / Climber
449 Primoz Roglic, 25, Slovenia - GC / One-Day-Racer
455 Gregor Mühlberger, 20, Austria - GC / One-Day-Racer
460 Oliver Naesen, 24, Belgium - One-Day-Racer
465 Alessandro Bazzana, 30, Italy - Hilly sprinter
473 Fabio Chinello, 25, Italy - One-Day-Racer

680 Patrick Clausen, 24, Denmark - Sprinter / One-Day Racer (Is FA but might need adjusting)
766 Axel Domont, 24, France - GC / Climber (Is FA but might need adjusting)

Some pretty interesting names in that list, and also some interesting nationalities... The list below, is some of the youngest talents available for the game, but also there should be some very interesting riders:

David Per, 19, Russia - GC
Michael Carbel, 19, Denmark - GC / One-Day-Races
David Riviere, 20, France - GC
Galym Akhmetov, 19, Kazakhstan - GC
Dmitriy Rive, 19, Kazakhstan - Allround
Tao Geoghegan Hart, 19, England - Allround
Elie Gesbert, 19, France - Allround
Mads Pedersen, 19, Denmark - GC
Mathieu van der Poel, 19, Holland - Allround

I hope some of them aren't mentioned, and that you feel I have contributed to your prefered intake... I would love some of the french youngsters being added myself, but I'm better at finding the names, than setting up the stats so I hope some of you will help with that Smile

The problem with posting riders in current stats Jesley is that is very reliant on accurate XP levels and on first glance yours seem a little wonky.

For example, Degand. You say he could be a good domestique, but with those stats and XP he will develop into 79 hill, which is not domestique at all. Simple for me to fix in that case since he is 1986 born, so should only be added as 4.100, so change the XP and he is sorted. But might be more fiddly to fix for the younger riders.

Posting maxed out stats suits me more, as from there I can choose the XP level for him to start out, choose a stats gain category to reverse him in, click a button, and done, the rider has his stats for the 2015 season. Plus the fact that it is easier to compare new riders when they are all on 4.100.

It isn't too much more work when posted in current, but it is more fiddly, and the first step will be me converting it to max anyway - so if the rider is already posted that way, it's ideal for me.

But hey, any riders posted in the right tabled format, with stats to work with, is better than none.

Yes, I already thought as much. I did look into that though, but rather for the younger than the older riders. Degand should indeed be higher XP level, that was just a rather big mistake indeed. I did take it into account, but as I said, I did have a few problems. I believe my younger suggestions are a bit better, but sure there are a few that could need some adjustments, but most of those do have quite some potential.

I must say I do have some problems with adapting them to the MG matrix, which is a lot higher than a normal one, obviously.

Personally I mainly look at their current capabilities, which is why it's a lot easier for me to just put them down at current stats. Also a lot more fun for me, actually, because I quite enjoy doing these suggestions, and limits are just harder to guess, I rather find good limits for their stats instead of stats for their limits.

Especially the very young ones, on XP1 level, often end up very high and since their age is so low, it's just totally against my intuition to put them on XP level 2, despite it giving the most realistic potential.

But alright, point noted.
Don't want to make it too hard for you, I mean, you spend a lot of time into it anyway, but if it's not a big problem, I will do my last suggestions in current as well, but I will put some little extra time in lowering their potentials Grin
(You should've told me this after my first load of suggestions Pfft)

Made some suggestions for decent Central Asians, may or may not come up with more later on. Didn't really check if they were covered yet, so yeah.

Ilya Davidenok
Davidenok has had a fantastic season at Astana Continental, winning both the Kazakhstani NC (what seems like a hilly profile, in Taldykorgan) and the .HC Tour of Qinghai Lake, where he beat some fairly well known names from the (P)CT on a race that was again predominantly hilly. However that aside, he seems like more of a sprinter. It was a tough call to decide wether SP or HI gets the 80, but in the end, I think that's the more likely way he'll develop. He also won a Mountain stage in the Tour de l'Avenir from a breakaway, and holding his ground on the hilly stages. He wasn't fantastic in his few races for the WT Astana, but that's more down to his role in the team than to his ability. He's already in the DB as a decent enough future sprinter, but he's easily the biggest talent in the region atm, so definitely needs an update.

Vadim Galeyev
Vadim Galeyev just finished his first season at Astana CT and has already shown good signs for the future. His standout result was winning a stage at the Tour of China (from a breakaway) and winning the Asian Championships, which were either on a hilly course or had a grotesquely unbalanced field. He also won a sprint stage at the Tour de Bretagne, which seems to have been a bit tougher too. So you can see he's pretty allround, but going by the various Top 10s he achieved in .2 and Asian .1 races throughout the season, it seems like he's a sprinter with both a fighting spirit and some skill on the hills.

Ruslan Tleubayev
Tleubayev is the older rider here, and is already in the game and fully developed. However I feel he deserves a stat upgrade, as he's proven in his seasons with Astana that he's a pretty good sprinter against CT level opposition. Nothing crazy or anything, but those stats would make him a rider quite like Hawkins, who is on my time, and who gets the kind of results Tleuba is getting IRL.

Didn't Davidenok test positive a few months ago?

There's plenty of dopers around in the MG db already of course, but not sure its worth adding/improving someone who only recently tested positive.

I guess he wouldnt go in with 4.100, though, but I agree. Those stats are Demare-like, which is pretty crazy.

Even better than Demare or Grosu without training, so yeah, crazy. Pfft

Btw. thanks Silvio Herklotz for those Russians, as i promised Oleg to suggest some stats for them and i have not found time for it yet, so i have less to do now. Smile

I will come with few eastern europe talents not covered already, to fill the blank spaces in region pretty loaded with teams now.

Further to my previous post (In which Degand was mentioned of course) I found a few more riders that could do with some stat changes currently in the free agency.

Eduard Prades Has joined Caja Rural this year and could be one to watch after a really good early season last year. He was 4th on the Malhao stage in the Volta ao Algarve and followed this up with 2nd and the Volta ao Alentejo and 4th and the Primavera classic. On this evidence Prades must be a dangerous hills rider with a decent enough kick. At the moment he is just a meh Spanish nothing rider.

Kevin Reza has switched French teams this year and I think is a better rider than the database gives him credit for. When given a chance he can sprint really well such a powerful rider, a perfect leadout man for Demare this year I would say.

Another combing through the free agents pool I came up with a few more Real life decent riders who I think should be given more of a chance to get into a ManGame team with improved stats.


Davide Cimolai Is rightly rated as a potential sprinter, will be 26 though next season so I think could do with being maxed out and I think we can say he looks around the 78/79 SPR mark with probably 69/70 ish in hills and probably 72ish on flat. He is an inconsistent sprinter of course (hence low acceleration) and had a fairly disappointing year last year where his best result is 7th in the Vattenfalls classic.

Eduardo Zardini has re-enforced some good hilly stage race and hilly classic results at the end of 2012 with more good results in 2013. Victory in Tour of Britain's stage 3 on his way to 4th Overall, along with a fine win on one of the mountain stages in last years Trentino and he looked strong towards the end of last years girowere season highlights. Certainly an exciting all round climber who could be nudged up some XP

David Tanner is one of those ProTour grunts that is now known as a water carrier cum emergency sprinter. In the database he really is no use whatsoever and at 30 is pretty much at the knackers yard but his real life career suggests he would be a decent continental sprinter/ lead out/ chaser.

Bert De Backer I notice Vandenburgh has been requested an upgrade, 31 year old Bert finished ahead of Stijn at this years Queen of the Classics. The long time Argos stalwart is your sprint lead out classics grunt, probably number 2 behind Degenkolb in the cobbles at that team. A very experienced guy who I think deserves an upgarde from 61 cobbles.

Serghei Tvetcov
Firstly, he changed back to Romanian again. Secondly, he has bossed the CT division this season. Started with winning the Tour of the Gila TT, and getting 3rd in the Beauce GC, he also went on to race the bigger races on the American continents. 16th in Utah GC and 7th in Alberta GC is definitely something, but the biggest of them all was finishing 3rd overall in the USAPCC, finishing Top 10 in every stage but stage 1.
A really, really allround stage-racer, because he knows his way around long and short climbs, but also TTs and he even got a good sprint. Could be a leader for an Eastern-Europe team, even.

Stephane Rossetto
Another guy that did very very well on the CT level, in the hills, in the mountains and against the clock. Biggest results were a 11th GC spot in the Criterium International(12th in the summit finish), winning the GC of the Boucles de la Mayenne(hills), and an impressive 6th place in the GC in Route du Sud, which has a WT strength field.

Miguel Minguez
A decent Spanish climber, who could be a good domestique.
Has a few Top 10s in Spanish .1 races. Looking at the field, I'd say Murcia is the most impressive(9th). Does well at both long and short climbs. 18th in the Burgos GC is also very decent, and 5th(climbing ITT) and 3rd(summit) in Pays de Savoie is just very good.

Eduard Prades
Had a very good CT season, excellent. Mainly a puncher, got 7th in Volta ao Algarve, despite a not-so-good TT, also got 2nd in Volta ao Alentejo, including a stage-win. Got 4th in a big Spanish .1 race which I'm not gonna spell out, got 5th in the Spanish RR and at last also has some good results in Asia. Note that he also won the Torres Vedras stage-race in late 2013.

Jesus Del Pino
This climber, also a legend in the EPIC game, had a very nice season actually.
Got 3rd in Pays de Savoie with some consistent climbing. But also got 7th in one of the Mallorca classics, hanging on after being reeled in from the break. And most impressively, got 6th in Castilla de Leon, which is a mountainous race with a strong climbing field.

Jonas Van Genechten
Unbelievable that he was overlooked(tbh I did too, it's sammy who suggested this to me). Very good WT sprinter irl so should be very good in the MG as well, obviously. Got 1 WT win, in the Tour of Poland, outsprinting some swift guys like Mezgec. But mainly impressed in some (late) classics, most notably winning Fourmies. Often had leadout duties to do, so he probably would have more in him. Is alright on the cobbles but nothing special.
His wins were all long-distance by the way, therefore he got that stamina.

Alessandro De Marchi
Well, you all know this guy. Occupation is attacking. Got him a Vuelta stage win and a podium too, in the latest edition. Personally I think most impressive was the TdF Stage 17, where he got reeled in but still climbed to 5th between the big guns. He also got the KoM jersey in the Dauphiné. Not a lot of impressive results else, but attacking is what he does and he has to be lucky with breaks obviously.

Marcus Faglum Karlsson
A nice Swedish talent, and Sweden kinda lacks those, except for the Ludvigssons. Another TTist though.
Got 10th in the European TT U23, most notably. Also got a Top 25 on the WC ITT U23 and 3rd on the Swedish champs. Likes attacking as well, got 5th in the Tour of Norway KoM. Proved in Baltic Tour 2013 that he's not slow either.

Ibai Salas
Not great I admit, but Spanish talents are rare. This guy had some sprinting results in decent fields. I assume he had to do quite some leadout work for Riutort too. He can handle hills, showed that in Gironde.

Enric Mas
The best new Spanish talent I could find. Not much tbh, but seems like he could be a decent puncher/climber.

I recommend Miguel Bryon https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider....?id=176909, Stepehn Leece https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider....?id=128657, Robin Carpenter https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider....?id=134080 and https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider....;id=178168
It would be great if somone else can do the stats because i'd probably end up overrating them

@Jesleyh:
Hate to be an asshole but I guess I am one. I cannot believe De Marchi is not already in the database he isn't so a great spot - however Vangenechten is and he is racing for Gazelle.

Interesting that you rated Prades very similarly to me just three posts above yours!

But actually liking your work here jesleyh unlike others the namedroppers.

Personally I think guys suggesting riders and not giving them numbers is almost as good as suggesting no numbers at all. It really isn't that hard to put some numbers down I am sure SN will change anything that is gamebreaking, basically sifting through procyclingstats and putting some names down isn't actually saving SN that much work. He still has to go into the link and judge everything.

Exactly. As I said in the top post, at the very least put them in the Table format with the Name, Country and Date of Birth values filled in. That doesn't require any stats knowledge at all.

For some reason my MG DB file won't work properly so i'm sorry if thes guys are already in. If they are then think of it as an upgrade recommendation.

Miguel Bryon
Looks like a strong classics rider for the future but can also pack a good finish speed as well. Hasn't been as impressive at Elite level as at Junior level but he's making good progress.

Stephen Leece
Some strong results on the US circuit. Getting stronger year on year. Won't be a huge talent but certainly good enough to add. Perhaps added as XP 2.0 or 3.0 would be best

Robin Carpenter
The guy won a USAPCC stage. Very attacking minded rider, his best results are consistently from attacks and relate to secondary jersey competitions especially KOMs. Strong ridesr in the U23 nationals and Elite Nationals as well. Been at Hincapies team for years now so might be worthy of starting slightly higher at XP 2.0

Mario Suchev
My only Bulgarian recommendation. Suchev isn't the best but he's pretty young. Some solid enough rides in 2013 and 2014. I've given him fairly low stats but he might be too high still. I just had to recommend a Bulgarian and the only other ones i found worthy were too old
