    Few teams there I don't know who owns them, like the Cannondale Cannons? Perhaps the next time we update the list we should try and put the boards user names next to them.

    I looked at yours to see if my team was totally rubbish (it is), but was heartened to see you'd chosen HIgh Road as your team too :D

    If you're looking to me to me for guidance, then you really are screwed;) I thought High Road was relatively affordable, with plenty of potential for stage wins.

    That's why I chose them too, it's nice to see that someone with more knowledge thinks the same -I decided to go all maverick with Cunego as my main man, that should kill all chance I have :)

    My approach was similar to making a schedule: make the numbers fit and hope for the best.

    Where can I find out if my lads have been selected for ther TdF? So far Lampre and Caisse d'Epargne are the only ones to confirm their team selections AFAIK.

    Is the mini-league only limited to 20 teams or something? None of the later entrants seem to be showing up.

    Answer from league support:

    The mini league table do not show 'live' data the data displayed is cached every 24 hours. This happens at 2am everyday. If you still do not see these members in your team after this time then please get back in touch and we will investigate

    Yes, just like fantasy football.

    By the way everyone I have contacted the site admins who told me to wait a bit to see if the new teams I accpted are still not showing. If in the morning, there are still just 20 teams showing. I will get on the them and kick their bums....

    I'm in. Fantasy Freds. I learned something new on this board today:)

    I should have done a quick dip probably. I'm terrible at the fantasy soccer - consistently coming last in any mini-leagues. And I'm relatively well informed at soccer.

    Great link Caroline_ie, will make the tour extra interesting this year.

    :pac: thanks - made a quick transfer there:pac:

    Unrelated - I went for Sebastian Chavanel on my team because his name reminded me of Sebastian Chabal and the image of him doing the TdeF was too good to let go (he also slotted nicely into my budget).

    I entered a team as well, thanks for letting me play in advance :D.

    I stole a name from an earlier post and called my team Bovine Hemogloben.

    Thanks for whoever said that, it tickled me.
