Steel_Hungary Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 @gillvs77 It sounds good, but many promotions are coming on community, so i will choose those games instead TdF. :speechless: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maruni Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I am a big fan of cyclists and i had never missed a Tour since 2007. I remember that Unibet has had some big inplication in this sport and also has some competitions for the customers.Congrats to that! In Romania Unibet offers the biggest offer for cycling and are one of the fewest that has cycling live odds evenimente for intermediate sprints. Count me in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YlarP Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I don't know anything about cycling, but I made a fantasy team there So I'm in too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillvs77 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 @YlarP I played a dozen of different fantasy games of tour de france over the years: its important to think ahead (have a strategy) depending on the rules of the specific fantasy gamefor example: Bernal will most likely (if he not falls) win the white jersey at the end of TdF (so having him in your team is an valuable option, but maybe not the best), you can opt to leave him out first week (and use a trade later on to get him in your team), becos he will probably not score many points in the first days , and have a place reserved for him (Bernal) later on, where you will swap him in to replace an expensive sprinter or all-rounder (for example specialist for stage 5) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purps Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Picked my team too. I'm probably gonna be horrible at this though. I've missed the last couple Tour's almost completely ( not really sure why :wonder: ), so maybe this will inspire me to watch a little more this time You will put up a private league for us @gillvs77 ?

YlarP Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Private league would be nice @gillvs77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillvs77 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 I will do tomorrow standard setup : 120 stars, max. 3 riders same team (ie. when Quintana N., Landa and Soler already in your team, 3 from Movistar, you cant have also Valverde without removing one of the first 3 named)= setup same as general league, where you can compete for vip tickets TdF 2020, jerseys and videogames, so you dont have to think too much about picks daily for different leaguesI drop the password in thread tomorrow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it went like that because I already had filled in my team, I don't know :Wonder:Managed to join the league though by clicking on "Leagues" and then "List of leagues" and then using the search option... all good now :Smile:GL :Thumbsup: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillvs77 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 @Purps I think so (I had same with other subleague link, and also thought it was because I already had an account)I just copy/paste their share box, I think the link is only for new registrationsyou can also go to 'Leagues' and use Find (Search ) 'List of Leagues' , probably number of league or 'unibet' or somethink get you there too and then fill in password (thats how I did with other subleague) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillvs77 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 still need to figure out what I will take, at the moment I think I will start with 3 sprinters and 5 all-rounders, just need to plan my 8 trades to see if I need to get in leaders or climbers yetthere is alot of luck involved in these Fantasy games, you can pick almost everything right or have really bad luck that all your picks 'just not' dont deliver(thinking about Sagan, Groenewegen and third good/expensive sprinter, also thinking about Van Avermaet, like your Boasson-Hagen pick, at least I expect something from Team Dimension Data)-this is a dutch site I use, to have a thought about stages and favorites and such, probably you can find better (and in English)you should be able to read the section 'Favorieten 1e etappe ... (Favorites 1st stage ...) below the plain text: *** (names), ** (names) ,... :-)https://www.touretappe.nl/tour-de-france-2019-favorieten/etappe-1-kanshebber-tdf-2019/this is link for favorites 1st stage and with arrow at bottom of page (etappe 2 >, etappe 3>,...) you will get clues for each stage (maybe you can use Google translate to read text or search for other sites in English)for yellow jersey (but very broad imo): https://www.touretappe.nl/tour-de-france-2019-favorieten/kanshebbers-tdf-2019/ (Alaphilippe is favorite for mountain jersey, else they dont say much more about it) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purps Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 @YlarP I'm jealous that you can pick your countrymen but I can't :teardrop:You may want to change Cavendish to someone else though... He is out of this years tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1ZZL3R Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I love the Tour de France, have watched it for years on t.v and even seen it live when it started in Yorkshire and came within 1 mile of where I live. It's the only cycling I watch really apart from some Olympics and World Championships, so I'm not really well up on form and teams so will watch from the sidelines. Nice thread.

He is out of this years tour.@YlarP yes, Cavendish is a waste and is mistake from organisation fantasy game, he should not be availablemaybe other mistakes too, for example watch out with Education First team too because they had late registration list of starters but their team was already available in fantasy game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillvs77 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 but I see Cav is not available anymore now so they probably had an update thats is correct now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maruni Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm in the league with team CHESTNUTS ON WHEELS. Do you know when is the change period? When you can change some riders from your team with others? It's in that two days of rest? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck!@maruni If I have understood it correctly you can make changes whenever you want, but every change costs 50 credits and we only get 400 credits to start with, so that'll be 8 changes that you can make throughout the whole tour.... Better use them carefully.However I'm not totally sure if the 400 credits should last for the whole tour or will we get more at some point... :wonder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillvs77 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 also beside the fact that its very hard to compete in general league, it is probably also not fair with the extra credits they give to people for invites, i don't know how they do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
