PFCL4
This is the final part of the season and team previews, part 1 can be found here and part 2 here. The previews are based on the points scored in last years #PFCL3. It give an idea, but of course isn´t exact. Contender 21; Benni1000 Benni did his best to assemble an all German team, but missing out on Kittel, Degenkolb and Greipel it ment that he had to also go for non-German squad members;
Contender nr 22; leo_matlock Leo has 3 very strong GT cyclist; Uran, Fuglsang and George Bennett as the team leaders. If they all start in the same GT then he could be a candidate to grab the points victory for that GT. His 4th rider is McLay and as a sprint will grab good points for him. Mister John Deere is a very good pickup for the classics. Zabel, Debusschere and Arndt are usually the lead-out for others, but they could get the go for a couple of races to rider for their own chances. Cavendish was on his team last year but had many injuries, so not a lot of points. However Leo kept the faith and drafted him again for this season. Contender nr 23; JamieHaughey Jamie himself already called this team #TeamBalaPFP refering to his 2 leaders
Gizza's team looks great;
Contender nr 25; SmokeyTimRobbo First year on #PFCL and not the best first round of the draft as he missed out on Alaphilippe and Gaviria.
Contender nr 26; NietNathan Another Rookie on #PFCL, but no stranger to cycling games and it shows
Contender nr 27; JasperRenema Jasper had a stinker of a first round in the draft. He managed to grab the current World Champion in the women's peloton; Chantal Blaak, but that was the only one in the first round. In the second round he managed to grab big Tom Dumoulin which will be the team leader of course. Woundn't want to be against him in stage-races. Lutsenko and Rowe will have to be the spearheads for the spring classics. Hopefully the neo-pro's on WT level will be able to provide good points for his team Contender nr 28; manpt15 Miguel was last year Giro winner and although his team is not sprinter heavy, he could be a top performer in a GT once more.
Last contender nr 29; cyclingwins Pavlyu had the worst draft this season, only grabbing Alaphilippe in round 1 and Sivakov in round 2. He and plenty of money to spend, but was outbidded on almost al his key targets. However he managed to secure a lot of lower thier sprinters in the likes of Prades, Mezgec, Boivin, Belletti and van Genechten, and that is always good news. He has the team with the least points scored from last year, however is we would sort on number of matchups where there are points scored, he would be in the top10, so your guess is as good as mine. For those wondering about my team. Contender nr 30; ArjanZoer The strategy was to bid on the entire top 10 of last year in the first round of the draft and I ended up getting 4
There you have it. The total preview of the teams and the coming season. Once again, this is based on the results of last year and we'll just have to see who will come on top after the completed 58 matchups.
