PFCL4
A couple of you suggested that I did a piece on which team I thought would be the biggest contenders for this season of #PFCL4 and I had to think about how I would rank or rate the teams. I could use my stats to sort out the better sprinters, cobbles, hill or the better GC men, but the problem there is that I don't have stats for the women (yet). So then I looked at last years results and give it a go to see who would have the best chance of winning based on last year. However, problem there was that we had 2 "small" changes; 1. now the top15 will score points, and 2. the points have slightly changed to accommodate the first change and put things in relevant perspective. So, I had to rerun the entire #PFCL3 with the new points system and the new team in order to get this result This is the total sorted by total points. I could also sort it on number of matchups that the points were grabbed, as that is also important to win fixtures and get league table points. The months is used to show in what part of the season the points were scored. However, this isn't exact of course, because season very, rider programs change, injuries can affect the previous or this season. And there is your dose of luck, where your opponent in the fixture where you have more of the sort that is required for the scheduled races as your opponent even though he has a better team. That's why #PFCL is still a great game to be in and something extra to let you root for riders during races. I won't go into detail about my team of course, but will have a look at my competition and top contenders Contenter nr 1; @CyclinghubTV
Contender nr 2; russelljosborne His best 2 contributors were on my team last year.
Contender nr 3; seegersmartijn His rookie year on PFCL, but in the draft he did already very good and assembled a balanced team. First thing we see when we look at Martijn his squad is the main points scorer of last year; Chris Froome. Will he be suspended and if so, for how long? That will make a big impact on the chances for this team. However in all fairness it will probably effect the GT matchups and the change to grab a GT victory rather than have a big impact on the outcome of the league I think.
Contender nr 4; comovaeso
Contender nr 5; jswadswad Looking at James team and you'd notice that he is very sprinter oriented.
Contender nr 6; rapouw Last year Rob ended as the top point scorer in the league and ended up 3rd in the League. He has some serious fire power in his team
Contender nr 7; clivusmaximus Not a contender in #PFCL3, but before that already in the game and this shows. Clive has managed to piece together a very decent team
Contender nr 8; justprocycling Another rookie on #PFCL, but also a great draft to gather the cyclists for his team
Contender nr 9; cyclingmole I think winner on #PFCL2, but second to last on #PFCL3; Mister David Hunter himself has a stunning team with a lot of potential. The steal of the entire draft for me, was Roglic as David got him for free
I will do the other teams later this week
