Halfords Fantasy Comp.

Halfords are again running their fantasy comp. this year. So you can legally run 2 teams without Dave getting wound up  4

Does anyone understand their rules about TT's? From what I've read, your riders score no points in time trials. That doesn't make any sense though? And what about the Prologue - does that count as a TT?

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

I'm winning!  4

Not by much though, 90th overall around 80 points back from 1st. Had a cracking bonus stage but been flagging for the past couple of days and I've got Kittel and Rojas who are both out. I'm waiting for new transfers too so I can re-do my team for the weekend/time-trial.

It's not as bad as I expected, a different challenge but still fun, not as good as road.cc overall and the UI is god awful but I'll probably see it through to the end.

I'm doing a lot better in this competition than I'm doing on here. Currently 2nd in the Road.cc league.

Are you doing road.cc and not roadcc? Should be league name road.cc, and leave password blank. Took me three goes with different combinations! (My team is les flames rouge by the way - was running low on inspiration...)

Right, I've joined in, just so you have someone propping you all up at the bottom of the table.

I've loaded my team for the Prologue, then we'll see how bad it gets  3

the interesting thing about the Halfords game is that the "spending power" as manager seems to be overly generous. This might initially make you think that the game will be easier. But it could make the game much harder as everyone will be able to buy the top riders.

anyone else have a view on that?

anyone got any good ideas on which stage to pick as your "bonus stage". I've currently gone for stage 17 but I think I've called that wrong(?)

Re Bonus Stage - I went for the last TT, as I find them easier to call and it should be clear by then who's on form. Plus simple maths - there will be less riders in the race by then!

We can't join the Halfords road.cc league (via sbs version of game). Looks like it's Aussies vs Brits, just like the real thing.

The Halfords rules really aren't particularly clear. Am I right in thinking that if I make transfers now my team as it was at 9am will score points and my changes will apply for tomorrow? I'm worried that if I start making transfers for tomorrow only 4 or 5 of my riders for today will be scored rather than the 9 as at 9 this morning.
