I scored 219 on the night. It was tough to pick with such a stacked 450 field.

I'm new to this whole fantasy thing.

Why do some riders get more than the max 26 points? The rules only talk about handicaps, but that would still put the max at 26 and some riders were getting in the 30s and 40s for points.

If they aren't allstars and finish in the top 10 they get double points.

The goal is to pick 1 all star every week, and then pick 3 non all star riders. If each non all star rider finishes 10th or better (by subtracting their handicap from their finish position) then you will be in the hunt for prizes and the championship.

This game is all about dodging bullets and trying to get 8 guys in the main every week.

Wish I would have joined the pulp vital group. I would have scored second this week in that group.

Tinkered at the last minute and changed Jay Wilson out for Aaron Tanti.. not much of a difference but thats the last time I tinker.
And I knew Marty would screw me with such a stacked field but I was trying to be optimistic.

This is my second year playing and I really enjoy it. I got 209 points , was up around 240 then something happened to Clout and he dropped out. I play in a private league for bragging rights and lots of trash texting during the races with my 2 sons. Glad to see this thread, maybe some insiders secrets ?

I started out with a 203.

250: Cooper(AS), Craig, Clout, Leib
450: Roczen(AS), Stewart, Hill, Wilson
FFL: Cooper, Cianciarulo

The -14 on the FFL hurt, but I'll stick to my guns and play it most weekends although I think it is a better strategy for outdoors since you only need 1 in 4 to come out on the positive. Maybe I will only play one class in SX, that way the worst is -7.

In terms of riders, Clout was the most costly. Fortunately I swapped out Tanti and put Leib in just before the start. Leib has been a long time killer for me in every fantasy league but I watched the 250B practices and really looked good so I hoped for the best. Wilson was risky at a 3, and I was pretty concerned after he came around 21st on lap 1. But his qualifying was really good and I figured a detuned Deano could probably ride around get 10-13th, whereas a full Deano could end up 1st-22nd! Hill gated well and I was hopeful of more, but he did OK. Mookie was a -1 and just got me double, but I would probably taken Brayton otherwise so it would have been a draw.

This coming week it's going to be hard to resist Oldenburg as his handicap will certainly go up. OMG he has burned me so many times. Also, Osborne won't be an All-Star but I'm sure he'll have a -2ish handicap. Have to say Paul P and the team really made the A1 handicaps difficult.

Awesome thanks. I just joined. I guess I'm in 8th, not 2nd.
