Tough to know what to make of that team, yes it looks weak, but all teams will probably end up looking weak. I will point out that Brennan & Vissing could've fitted in that team as heat leaders, so while many blame the points limit for Glasgow dropping so many riders, the truth is they dropped more than they needed to.

Yes, I've read that many times, but until he's announced in another team, hope he stays at Berwick

How about? Berwick Lewis Kerr 8.39 Rory Schlein 7.58 Leon Flint 6.40 Jye Etheridge 5.91 Jacob Hook 4.00 Jack Smith 3.00 Connor Coles 2.63 Total 37.91

Looks a decent team, if you chose Hook, could fit in Castagna instead of Fredriksen.

I think Max Perry has gone under the radar in the NL, while Boughen has (rightly) been lauded as am future superstar, Perry who has a higher NL average (from a more difficult position) is not talked about anywhere near as much.

I certainly like the look of that team.

Diamomds85 I wouldn't call it top heavy (only got one top rider) but yes it has a long tail but as lisa-colette pointed out, Oxford did well with 2 x 2.00 riders. Last year Birmingham used 8 points for their reserves & Edinburgh used 7 for theirs, didn't help their seasons.

I guess Harrison could be at Redcar, Scunthorpe or Workington?

Does that mean it must be a good team if two people independently come up with it?

I'll have to compliment them then lol!

How about this team? Poole Richard Lawson 8.48 Ben Cook 7.39 Zach Cook 6.22 Anders Rowe 5.80 Kyle Newman 5.51 Sam Hagon 2.56 Max Perry 2.00 Total 37.96

Came up with this hypothetical team, which given the lower points limit, looks good to me Plymouth Lewis Kerr 8.39 Kyle Howarth 7.76 Ben Barker 7.42 Dan Gilkes 4.84 James Pearson 4.08 Adam Roynon 3.41 Ben Trigger 2.08 Total 37.98

Think this would be a good team imo Redcar Danny King 8.41 Charles Wright 7.80 Erik Riss 7.35 Danyon Hume 4.72 Jason Edwards 4.55 Jake Mulford 3.06 Harrison / Kinsley 2.00 Total 37.89

I was surprised with the wording of a picture Scunthorpe posted on their FB page, calling themselves KOC Champions. Does that sound wrong to anyone else? I've always thought you get league champions & cup winners? For example saying FA Cup Champions sounds odd, I'd always say FA Cup Winners.

1. Emil Sayfutdinov 2. Max Fricke 3. Tobiasz Musielak 4. Jack Holder 5. Jason Doyle 6. Tai Woffinden 7. Dan Thompson

There's nothing for Morris to sort out, the rules are clear - just very stupid imo. Both Jorgensen & Andersen, signed for Berwick on converted Prem averages, then reverted to their Championship averages, once they had ridden a match, been this way for a few seasons now.

I agree it could be hard to follow, but gotta give them credit for trying to give Mildenhall & Oxford fans the option of just paying to see their teams, when Berwick ran double headers fans has to pay full price (no usually double header reduction) even if just wanting to watch their team!

They'll use Etheridge's most recent average (2023 Champ converted) so he'd be on a 4.00 average. Once he's ridden one match, they'll add his 2024 matches to his 10 match rolling average from 2022 (4.76) because .... actually I can't think of a logical reason why they start with one average, then switch to another after one match?

If team building rules remain the same: Sheffield Jack Holder 8.91 Tai Woffinden 8.26 Josh Pickering 6.78 Kyle Howarth 5.41 Lewis Kerr 5.31 Jye Etheridge 4.00 Dan Gilkes RS Total 38.67

That would be changing a winning team, Jack & Tai never rode together lol!

If the limit stays the same, it would actually be hard to sign Sayfutdinov, Doyle & King, while keeping Rew at reserve. Would leave 8.73 for final 2 riders, so looking for 2 riders between 4 & 4.73. Only options I can see are S.Lambert (4.66) H.Andersen (4.41) J.Allen (4.33) C.Cook (4.28) C.Vissing (4.16) D.Bellego (4.00) K.Thomson (4.00). Unless it's a returning rider like Berge.

Interesting to see how highly Rew seems rated compared to Hume & Dan T. Their 2023 averages are Hume (3.93), Dan T (3.81) & Rew (3.74). I can understand people wanting Rew back, but personally I'd want all 3 back.

I'd have to agree with Fromafar doesn't look such a great heat leader trio to me. But it's very hard not to compare next year's teams to this year's. In a weaker league could be a decent heat leader trio.

If it's a 38 limit, wouldn't be able to pick Rowe & 2.00 instead of Nielsen & Roynon. Would need to replace another, Kemp? Poole Richard Lawson 8.48 Ben Cook 7.39 Zach Cook 6.22 Kyle Newman 5.51 Dan Thompson 4.86 Joe Thompson 3.51 An Other 2.00 Total 37.97

Good shout, I think Bowtell would be a good signing.
