Nah its not a pain (its a pain when everyone comes on at 9am monday and makes transfers
)
And thats an easy transfer for me anyway.
Adding extra players is more of a pain, as the most we've had play before is 14, so my spreadsheet is only currently set up for 14 (13 for this event so far) at the moment. Thats not to say the more the merrier (Im expecting some regulars that have not yet posted, may post teams after they have been on for Flanders tomorrow)
This will make 15
S. Sanchez GC EUS 34.4
W. Poels KM VCD 25.0
S. Gerrans AR GRE 21.7
L. Leipheimer GC OPQ 22.6
R. Nocentini DS ALM 9.7
S. Paulinho DS SAX 9.8
M. Moser DS LIQ 3.1
J. Lopez DS MOV 5.7
André Fernando S. Cardoso Martins DS CJR 3.2
Total 135.2
Change to team Lopez out Kiryienka in (only because the the J Lopez on the list is Jesus Herrada López, not Jose Herrada López (both from Movistar, neither racing here) and not David Lopez Garcia who is racing for Movistar and who I wanted to pick, but does not appear on the points list. Also missing David DE LA FUENTE RASILLA, what hast Dave against the Spainish Davids?
Team now
S. Sanchez GC EUS 34.4
W. Poels KM VCD 25.0

V. Kiryienka DS MOV 14.3

Total 144.0
Yeh i noticed the herrada problem, however i think i solved it. J lopez on the game is jesus lopez herrada, however J. Herrada is Jose lopez herrada. However Dave has the wrong one starting for Ronde I think.
