I don‘t think Roglic will be worth the 10 Credits more compared to Tiberi. He DNF‘d Alpes because of Stomach Pain so I‘m betting that he‘ll be alright and I see him as a lock for the Top 5 thanks to the unconditional support he‘ll receive from his team. That opens up the possibility for the big sprinters and the safest unclassified riders. Bardet will either go for GC or stages, I can‘t see him assisting Poole since it is his last GT and the team needs UCI Points desperately. Ciccone had a surprisingly good flat TT at UAE Tour and is a strong climber with some punch
Is it me or the inflexibility of the rosters limiting picks? Like I might prefer to not pick Ayuso but those saved points can't buy an interesting team because you can't have 4 climbers or all rounders because of only one wild card slot.

it was so hard to pick a team but I landed on
Ayuso, Tiberi, Ciccone, Bardet, Kooj, Pidcock, Poels, Tarling & Pedersen.

I think Wout tears up the first two weeks – TT, versatile sprints, sprints, breakaways – and then goes home to prepare for the TDF.
I've got Rog, Arensman, WVA. Mads, Ciccone, Pig, Tarling, Harper, Poels
