Who are the darkhorse unclassed riders?
Seems like this is where you can really get points in velogames, since everyone will have some combination of the best GC's, Climbers, and Sprinters.

The video actually has some nice tips.
My Giro was ruined the minute Dan martin crashed out, giving me no points. Yet I still finished 70th/148 int he Daily league.
Suisse I didn't care at all about because I wasn't interested in the race much, I admit I made some bad picks, and Schleck giving me a 0 after crashing out didn't help.
But still, can you beat 2nd overall? I mean, I crushed the Daily League, crushed the PCM Youtube league, and crushed everybody but 1 guy in the in the whole shabang who i was within 40 points of! Don't forgot I also won 2 stages in total points out of everybody: stage 8 and the GC. So it was a masterpiece.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy
The video does have some nice tips, little disappointed that they just went straight down the list as I certainly do not go in order like that, normally pick 1 GC, 1 Climber, and my Sprinter first. Then start to fill out the rest.

Just joking of course but you've showed how luck is also needed. I know a guy who picked 8 riders that didn't finished the Giro (in 9) beat that
Let's hope the Tour will have less accidents at least.
Seriously struggling to get a team I'm happy with atm - I currently have a core of most-likely-to-be-doped-riders, should probably stick with that concept :/
A. Schleck for 8 Points, he's a top 10 for sure.
(Brother frank 10 points as a climber :S )
Michael Rogers for 6 points un-classified, would be alberto's 1st/2nd man now after Kruziger withdrawal.
Was temped to buy Yates for 6 also, good for a stage win, maybe a breakaway or 2.
Renshaw for 6, he could pip a top 10 on some stages just helping cavendish. not 100% sure what order the team goes with their train.
These were my finding but in the end my final team consists of:
Contador
A. Schleck
F. Schleck
Majka
Kittel
Kwiatkowski
Rogers
Chavanel
Haussler
First time I ever picked any schlecks but ended up picking them both. both are flying under the radar this year and im hoping this will be benefital for them both.
I know that Majka did the giro and he's still wont be 100% for the tour but im hoping for some good assist points or a stage win.
went with kittel for the sprint, cheaper than sgan and cav but has a team dedicated to him. Haussler im hoping to get some good points here and there.
So yeah, look for my team on the bottom of the standings Edited by iambennyboy on 05-07-2014 14:50
