The 2022 Premiership is a weaker league than the 2013 Elite League, so he'll likely do better this time around!

If Birmingham had 3.00 left for a number 7, Smith wouldn't be a bad option, but needing 3 stronger riders, I wouldn't go near him!

Complin not a gamble on a 4.00 ave, more of a waste of using the 6+ available points for Newcastle's last rider! Congreve could certainly be a gamble!

But replace Congreve with a stronger rider & instead of "only losing a point" Newcastle could gain 2 points!

I've read clubs stating the number 8 will be at each match, Wolves I'm sure said that for example!

Latest predictions Poole Glasgow Leicester Edinburgh Oxford Redcar Plymouth Berwick Scunthorpe Newcastle Birmingham

If Complin is on a 4.00 ave, Newcastle have wasted any potential improvement on that figure by building a team nearly 3 points below the limit!

Less than half the Prem matches will have PJL meetings after, so there is a good chance of number 8's sitting in the pits & not getting rides!

Gotta keep occupied somehow, while waiting for Birmingham to complete their side!

If the Speedway GB page posted averages, we'd know for sure. Not sure why it has to be kept so secret!

teams riding orders aren't known , so refering to him being 5th in the Glasgow averages.

Got fed up waiting for Birmingham to complete their team so I could compare all the teams: Strongest number 1: Troy Batchelor (Oxf) Weakest number 1: Josh Auty (Bir) or Bradley W-Dean (Nec) Strongest number 2: Danny King (Ple) Weakest number 2: Ricky Wells (Ber) or Lee Complin (Nec) Strongest number 3: Richard Lawson (Ple) Weakest number 3: Cameron Heeps (Oxf) Strongest number 4: Ben Barker (Ply) Weakest number 4: Ben Cook (Ple) Strongest number 5: Ben Basso (Gla) Weakest number 5: Ty Proctor (Ber) Strongest number 6: Jye Etheridge (Ber) Weakest number 6: Jordan Jenkins (Red) Strongest number 7s: Stefan Nielsen (Bir) or Connor Bailey (Gla) Weakest number 7: Ryan Kinsley (Scu)

There's plenty riders who could be looking to be the league's number one this year I reckon: Jack Smith, Kyle Bickley, Alfie Bowtell, Ben Morley, Dan Thompson, Joe Thompson, Ryan Kinsley, Jason Edwards, Jordan Jenkins & Dan Gilkes.

Personally think Belle Vue will top the league by a mile! May not win the league via the play-offs though!

There's a big difference between wanting to know the team towards the end of February & demanding to know the team at the beginning of November though!

They would be good signings

Britain's top 3 have all chosen Poland & Sweden / Denmark over the UK. I'm glad that the top Aussies still want to race here!

If they can't get anyone better, Auty & Shanes could be in their top 3!

I agree, plus I've seen no "realistic" suggestions if riders better than Sedgmen - we shall see!

Pickering is replacing Riss & Kildemand is replacing Barker, so Lynn have certainly strengthened there. Top rider could be Doyle, Holder or Fricke tbh. I just rate Doyle the highest! You must be one of the few who rate Ipswich lol!

My pick for Berwick's riding order: 1) Chris Harris 2) Ty Proctor 3) Theo Pijper 4) Leon Flint 5) Ricky Wells 6) Jye Etheridge 7) Kyle Bickley

Since Plymouth have 4 heat leaders & arguably the weakest Edward Kennett has to ride at number 1, I'd go with this riding order: 1) Edward Kennett 2) Ben Barker 3) Hans Andersen 4) Alfie Bowtell 5) Michael P Toft 6) Dan Gilkes 7) Henry Atkins. With track specialist Barker having an inside gate in the opening heat, gives Plymouth a good chance of starting off with a heat advantage against the opposition number 1!

Or a challenge match against a foreign team, get Esbjerg over & I'm sure plenty of fans would come to watch Woffinden!

Has Basso ridden in a team with Bjarne before?

It should be easy to challenge for the title, as a team only has to finish 4th out of 6! Heck a team spending all year in 5th could argue they are still challenging for the play-offs / title!
