All Things Vital Downhill Fantasy

Well I didn’t ruin any of the juniors world champs.  Maybe things are turning around 😂

USDH!!!!!

thought i fucked up, turns out i did not fuck up 😂

think i did fuck up by not checking the full start list for juniors... I had Ryder Lawrence on my team? Did he end up with a DNS due to practice incident or am I just that dumb? sigh... thought he had qualied in with a decent time...

EDIT oh wasnt seeing full results... seems like he probly had a get off i really need to stop playing fantasy... always cursing the riders. Giambi also fell back but Tomlinson did ok. hows that Bode Burke pick, eh? Everybody got that one I presume?

Looks like it was just unlucky. Seems he finished but made a mistake between splits 1 and 2

i need to stop playin... my luck is so bad in my own life I'm leeching shit on to these kids just by pickin em 😖

EDIT man i feel at a loss this round... maybe its been a while eh? the womens qualies are almost perfectly aligned with their fantasy values... so if they were to run the same way i barely see where to make good points aside from a single lower pick.

and as far as mens go im still conflicted on the ol 1st place pick. seems like Loic is the shoe in here but points wise still unsure if that spend is worth. gonna have to snoop the leaders teams after this round lol. get back in to it for the rest of the series.

I must've missed the memo that the Junior position values would change completely for this round, screwed up my whole strategy. I know the cost allocation scheme has changed throughout the rounds but now its also the points allocation yet the rules page still show the original points system https://www.vitalmtb.com/fantasy.  Have I missed something? 

Yes. It was stated in the junior world champs page (and on articles I think) that the fantasy is worth double the points at worlds. My strategy was also screwed up due to the cost allocation so I just came up with a new one.

It's just double points for all rounds this week, so exactly the same points dropoff as you go down the results. Doesn't change anything to how you would pick your team, but this round will matter more for the "overall" season.

The cost of riders and fixed budget for juniors vs elites is what is shaking things up. Also the fact that so many more people qualify to the finals, I don't think the buying all the wildcards strategy will work this week.

I think all of us that overtook Sspomer in the rankings deserve some vital socks or something! 

Prize for round 2 was just delivered! Thanks Vital 🤩

My bad for not seeing this. I tried recalling my message but it's out there, cannot be taken back now that all the replies are coming.  I'm just being a sore loser :D because I'm enjoying the Fantasy so much this year. Thanks for the reply, I'm sure now that I've taken note of all the rules I'll do better

interested in how the values turn out with the budget split this time.

i think i had a decent run given loics placing but a couple of my picks also crashed out it seems. otherwise i had some serious performers per cost spent.

Jason with the insider trading. You're supposed to get 1st with insider trading!!

(copy my homework but make it look a lil different...)
