    Just me that’s already working on my team then?

    Maybe that’s a good thing actually.

    It’s so long ago I’ve forgotten, was it a PITA to do transfers?

    I had to manually approve each team entry one at a time into the league, not putting and ad all button was frustrating… Thanks for putting your hand up 😉

    You can get planning now, if you wish…

    BTW The £350k for Gwin appears to be his actual pay, if reports were accurate.

    Sam Hill seems like an outside bargain.
    Got my team sorted. Just debating Manon or Atherton, seems either one has a great season.

    Steve smith for 200 seems a good bet , fully fit and something to prove . gwin aside the list just shows how open it is , lots of fast guys and a lot of them on new bikes

    Yep, much harder to pick this year than previously. I think the pricing on the men is a bit off myself, prices are too close together at the top.

    Sam Hill will surely be more pricey in the final version!

    I seem to be suffering from some kind of mental malaise, I cannot find where to sign up for the actual fantasy league, I can only find the pieces on dirt stating that there is a league.

    League name: Singletrack World Cup
    PW: stwc

    New rules this year…

    Entrants have to post their team name in the thread, so we know who’s who.

    And no teams joining after round 2 – so we don’t get carpetbaggers joining late in the day.

    Here, and as much as I would love to see him have a stormer, I can’t see him stringing a full consistent season together based on the last Couple of years.

    I’m in, “Morning (giant) Glory”

    Rachel in the womens as there’s nothing to suggest her hold on the top has been weakened.

    Undecided in the mens whether to go for a couple of big names and some filler, or a more even spread of top 5-10 riders.

    Team name “Carnage”

    No Sam Hill either.

    A Line Too Far submitted for approval.

    Initial team picked based on previous form, price and if they’re on a new team or not, which can often put a spanner in the works. Lots of time for things to change between now and season start too.

    Here, and as much as I would love to see him have a stormer, I can’t see him stringing a full consistent season together based on the last Couple of years.

    But he is likely to score more points (and probably lots more) than anyone else priced at 150k. Although I was tempted to go for Laurie Greenland, it usually seems to take a few years to step up from juniors to seniors podium, but he is maybe a bit special and could buck the trend.

    Hibbert Legacy are in. Gone for Ratboy, Hill and Stevie Smith, hoping they’re all over their injuries.
