Fantasy classics: Remember to change riders for upcoming cobbles

With Milano - Sanremo and the first race of Velogames fantasy spring classics out of the way, we travel north to Dwars Door Vlaanderen - which takes place on Wednesday. A different set of riders than what you used for Sanremo may be needed for some of you, so don't forget to make your changes before then!

ManGame: Done with transfers? Here's what to do

Several teams have already shut down their transfer season, and the rest will be following in the next few days. The actual season can't start quite yet however, so here's a little reminder of what PCT and CT managers can do while waiting for everyone to finish. Remember, the earlier this is sent in - the sooner the season can begin!

- C1/C2 selections for PCT and CT teams. Have a look over in this thread to find out how this is done

- Wildcard applications. If you want any, which? Information can be found here

As in previous years Velogames has started their fantasy cycling season. This time it starts with the spring classics.

So time is limited to join as the first race is already Milan San Remo, followed by some cobbled classics and ended with the Ardennes Classics.

So what is the Velogames Fantasy Spring Classics?

In short: 11 races, a team of 12 riders with a max amount of 100 points, 24 transfers allowed in between the races to change from cobblers to puncheurs and so on.

As done before, there is a PCM Daily Fantasy league, that you can join to get a PCM Daily member ranking after each race as also a general ranking in the end.

So if you are interested. Join here.

Transfer frenzy taking over both PCM.daily and Twitter

With many of the site's active members participating in the ManGame transfer season, other parts of the forum have perhaps been a bit slower than usual these past few days. Just like last year, transfer discussions have also spread to Twitter - albeit with the most important things still going on over here. If you're interested in constant updates from various managers, have a look at the list of teams and managers to find their respective Twitter accounts.

#6 Story of the Month awards winners

The wave of success continues for Shonak and his Euskaltel team. After being crowned best new story a month ago, Gora Euskadi now also claims the main award with 33 points - becoming the first story ever to win both titles! A. Louveille (30), The Comeback (27) and Karl Hammarling (25) were the closest competitors.

That isn't even the only record broken by Shonak, however! In a top 3 separated by only two points, it is his new second story, aCross the Road, that is elected best new story - making him the first to ever win an award twice! Double awards and a second consecutive New Story of the Month - impressive!

Cycling section getting up to speed

Last weekend's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was the real start of the season for most of us, and the cycling subforum has woken up the winter hiatus. With plenty of bigger races coming up, make sure to take part in the race discussions here on the forum.

And while we're at it - feel free to make a thread for Paris-Nice if you'd like to.

ManGame: next stop - transfer season!

Most of those involved are probably more than well aware of what's coming! With renewals out of the way for all but a few teams, the start of this hectic period is almost upon us - so clear your calendars and finalise your plans and tactics!

In a week where the new Management Game managers were selected, and the off-season explosion of activity continued in the ManGame forums, what else has been happening on PCM.daily?

Tour of the Chosen concludes

Over the past year The Rider has ran five 'Tour of the Chosen's in the Story Games forum, and this week the 5th and final edition came to an end. Members picked a team, went through a transfers process to get their riders, and then followed proceedings across a 28 stage race which featured all the terrains that PCM can offer.

Hot topics section

Last week the new 'hot threads' twitter update was mentioned, and not long after the Weekly News went live, Aab-ern also added a Hot topics section to the website, available on the panel at the top of the home page. It offers a quick way to see which threads have been most active over the last 12 hours. The Other Races thread has dominated this weekend, with plenty of chat about Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne.
