King's Lynn Stars 2017


Recommended Posts

phillips nowhere near good enough .. JPB, HUME,MOUNTAIN,WOOD,BACON OR DAVEY

Nor are those you have mentioned.As Haza has said the no 7 is just purely to make up the numbers anyway.We have to try and get a no7 that will beat the other no7s especially at home.As Phillips is riding for the Young Stars this season this may be beneficial for him.

When looking at the rest of the number 7's most are around NL number 1 standard so all Kings Lynn need to do is match this and they will pick up points. Mountain or Davey would both be good shouts especially away from home. Not sure if Dan Greenwood is available on a 2 point average but if you are looking for a rider that isn't overworked he might be worth a shout?

I'd have Jack Parkinson-Blackburn in a heartbeat

 

This kid looks a talent and being at a big track already with Sheffield and small track Birmingham places him as a very attractive choice imo

Agree regards Jack.

Birmingham isn't a small track.

I think josh Bailey will be given till the first set of averages then they will see what they have got to play with. David Howe's average is being reduced to 4.6 after the first set of averages that would be the choice for me if we could fit him in

As a Wolves asset he might be wanted by his parent club.

well if the top 6 are only totalling 37.4 to allow that happen youve got bigger problems than Bailey....

Still not converted on the fairness of the 1.4 loading of EL riders yet. Yes I understand the logic and the reason why it had to be done, but don't necessarily agree with it. From my viewpoint there are an awful lot of riders who raced in both leagues and the comparable CMA's are so variable. Some riders performed better in the EL and some in the PL, but it is the PL scores that are being used for team building purposes. Obviously those riders with better performances in the EL are a better acquisition than those who performed better in the PL

 

On the face of it teams using riders with PL scores will have a better chance of retaining their scores than those teams with EL riders and their loaded averages. Sure there will be a slight drop due to the stiffer competition, but nothing like the 40 % extra that some have been loaded with. I appreciate this was for team building only and yes, the first set of figures will be interesting reading to see the effects of what is expected to happen. On the face of it there are an abundance of riders within the 6-7pt category the this could be the area where the biggest changes will come from.

 

KL have selected 4 riders with this loaded CMA's, I don't know how that compares with other clubs. I cant imagine there will be teams with any more than that. When I look at each teams strengths, in comparison to others, I don't think about their averages, just my opinion and perception of each rider / team.... and this is what is most intriguing in that there are many teams comparable with the others in the league and that has to be good for the sport....
