I think 1.3 is a fairer multiplier between the leagues! Is that happening though? That's far too sensible for Speedway! I've always thought that is how they should work out the conversions for Premier / Elite or now Championship / Premiership! I also remember Loram was the weakest grade 1 & Pedersen was the strongest grade 2, even though they were the same standard!

KING'S LYNN ? 1 Neils K Iversen 9.04 2 Robert Lambert 7.38 3 Michael J Jensen 6.52 4 Thomas Jorgensen 5.93 5 Lewis Rose 5.25 6 Tomas H Jonasson 4.64 7 Stefan Nielsen 3.67 Total 42.43!

I reckon Nick Morris will be one of the top riders in the league in 2018, don't see him having any difficulty at number 1! Just a shame Swindon had to drop a World Champion to keep him in the team!

If the rules haven't changed Graversen should start on a 4.00 ave! How about Robert Mear (3.65)?

Would any Poole fans like to see Bjarne Pedersen (6.91) back for the Pirates in 2018?

Is Dennis Gizatullin still riding? I make his last British average 4.17!

Doubt Steve Worrall will drop to number 6! What about Alex Davies on 5.41 starting at reserve!

WOLVERHAMPTON? 1 Fredrik Lindgren 9.29 2 Sam Masters 7.92 3 Ricky Wells 6.75 4 Kyle Howarth 6.64 5 Mark Riss 4.69 6 Gino Manzares 4.53 7 Nathan Greaves 2.54 Total 42.36!

LAKESIDE 1 Scott Nicholls 8.98 2 Richard Lawson 8.62 3 Edward Kennett 7.67 4 Gino Manzares 5.43 5 Ben Morley 3.95 6 Robert Branford 3.94 7 Zach Wajtknecht 3.85 Total 42.44

IPSWICH ? 1 Scott Nicholls 8.98 2 Danny King 8.87 3 Rory Schlein 8.58 4 Nico Covatti 7.49 6 Connor Mountain 3.33 5 Richard Hall 3.00 7 Danyon Hume 2.00 Total 42.25!

SWINDON ? 1 Jason Doyle 9.69 2 David Bellego 7.37 3 Przemyslaw Pawlicki 6.75 4 Adam Ellis 5.56 5 Cameron Heeps 5.25 6 Tomas H Jonasson 4.64 7 Zach Wajknecht 3.21 Total 42.47!

As they didn't break any rules, no they're not cheats!

I'm assuming Somerset will be interested in Doyle or Morris, whoever Swindon don't use!

KING'S LYNN ? 1 Neils K Iversen 9.04 2 Robert Lambert 7.38 3 Thomas Jorgensen 5.93 4 Lewis Rose 5.25 5 Piotr Swiderski 5.20 6 Lewis Kerr 5.06 7 Tomas H Jonasson 4.64 Total 42.50!

The average limit each year should be 42.00 (7 X 6.00) so if the team limit is "raised" to 40.00 the league will still be weaker than this year!

You can add Sam Beebee to this scenario, at the end of 2016 his average was 4.25. But it has been dropped to 3.00 for next season!

WORKINGTON 1 Chris Harris 8.26 2 Ben Barker 8.15 3 Ty Proctor 7.38 4 David Howe 6.18 5 Mason Campton 5.74 6 Matt Williamson 4.74 7 Kyle Bickley 2.00 Total 42.45

NEWCASTLE? 1 Lasse Bjerre 8.42 2 Stuart Robson 7.20 3 Ludvig Lindgren 6.94 4 Paul Starke 6.67 5 Lewis Rose 6.49 6 Ashley Morris 4.72 7 Danny Phillips 2.00 Total 42.44!

I guess i don't see him getting a lot of improvement on that average!

SCUNTHORPE ? 1 Steve Worrall 9.02 2 Josh Auty 6.95 3 Jake Allen 6.08 4 Stefan Nielsen 5.53 5 Kasper L Nielsen 5.16 6 Tero Aarnio 5.06 7 Joe Jacobs 4.67 Total 42.47!

LAKESIDE ? 1 Scott Nicholls 8.98 2 Richard Lawson 8.62 3 Edward Kennett 7.67 4 Robin Aspegren 4.82 5 Robert Mear 4.38 6 Ben Morley 3.95 7 Zach Wajtknecht 3.85 Total 42.27

SCUNTHORPE? 1 Steve Worrall 9.02 2 Richie Worrall 8.58 3 Josh Auty 6.95 4 Jake Allen 6.08 5 Stefan Nielsen 5.53 6 7 Josh Bailey 2.70 3.64 left for a number 6!

But some teams have had strong riders at 4 already, such as Thorsell at Wolves & Lindgren at Newcastle, which will negate tactical substitutes in heat 14 (in theory)!

Some clubs like Edinburgh are very good at putting on double headers & get all 30 heats on! Stoke seem very poor at it!

Thought i'd see how I would have done in this with my team in the NL fantasy League on fb! Z Wajtknecht 8.59 - 10.67 B Wilson 8.50 - 8.05 N Stoneman 6.98 - 7.08 L Smart 5.71 - 4.24 T Brennan 3.00 - 7.21 K Bickley 3.00 - 6.67 J Jenkins 3.00 - 7.19 Tot 38.78 - 51.11 So I would have been 10th of 17 if i entered!
