Sorry, I'm new here, but I have played PC, for quite a while, and I really want to get together a realistic custom team, and im never sure if it is. would the following team be realisitc, or too strong?
Domenico Pozzovivo
Igor Anton
Romain Bardet
Carlos Betancur
Roberto Ferrari
Fabio Felline
Fabio Aru
Elia Favilli
Amets Txurruka
Ion Izagirre
Emanuele Sella
Alessandro Vanotti
Davide Cimolai
Fabio Taborre
Davide Vigano
Gianluca Brambilla
Francesco Ginnanini
Any more rider suggestions? Are there too man climbers? And does the frenchman (Bardet) fit? Sorry for the terrible questions, it just frustrating playing hours with a team you then realise isnt proper. Thanks in advance |

It's a strong team, but definitely could be realistic for an Italian Pro team.

A lot of strong climbers here, but it's doable, a bit like Movistar  |

Definitely doable, but a bit small.
You should probably add a few more riders depending on the level you want your team to start (should be WT with these names). For a WT-team I would usually recommend at least 25 riders

this team looks like a WT Team, but with a lack of Riders.

is this team built around Climbers, or could u also take in like sprinters?

It is a team more focused on climbers than sprinters, but i'd like to get one or two sprinters in as well, so sprinters are still welcome |

I think you should go for some strong domestiques (not stars) for the flat. Types like Lars Bak, who aren't big stars but can be valuable help on the flat.
He could be your guy for some decent placings in the cobbles races as well. I find it really annoying to play with teams with no cobblers at all...
And then a few real youngsters that hasn't shown anything yet.
Edit:
Start a career with the DB you intend to use and use the search function to find riders of the right nationality and specialities

Felline and Cimolai are sprinters,i would not take anymore, since Felline is big talent,and your team is climbing team,not sprinting.

You can add young talents, who are not real but who you can give a contract when you start a custom team in the game.

Yeah, i could do with a flat or cobble rider, and domestique....I originally thought, because its a mainly italian team, of Ballan or Pozzato, but i think they're too strong for my team... |

Mabye some itt riders, like Adriano Malori or Montaguti if you don't want them too strong, also two domestiques as someone said, Jader Betancour (yes his brother) could work as a young promise also... Trentin and Rabottini are good choices too..

If you say you're looking to be PCT, i'd say this team was too strong. You've got 2 very good climbers (Antón and Pozzovivo) and then a whole heap of up and coming star climbers.

Yeah, i think even if i got rid of Anton, there are still too many good climbers, so it is probablybest to go WT, i think, and get more riders...or get rid of Bardet, Anton, Brambilla, and maybe one or two others and replace them with worse riders...and then go PCT....so im not sure yet

Anyway, if anyone is still looking at this, I've decided to go Pro Cotintental rather than World tour, with this team minus Anton, Bardet and Brambilla...if anyone is still looking, feedback on whether that team is realistic would be much appreciated |

The Team is good in my opinion, but if you win too much too soon then shift up a level to extreme  |
