good chance of the real 'plastic' wooden spoon, but it fits ;)

Holub would have to start on a 4 point average but I seriously wouldn't bother , he would be serving a 28 day ban for withholding his services for a start. From what I've seen of him not good on or off track.

It's not that bad :P

Why would he have to start on a 4?

Well i did say it would be a 40 point limit this year.well here goes but a hard choice R.lambert, T.Aarnio with a reduction being out for most of the season. L rose. m.kus or L lindgren A morris D phillips so if aarnio gets a reduction of 5 instead of 6.24 it will leave 5.9 or 6 left for another rider but not in any ordr apart from the last two.

Why would Aarnio get a reduction? He wouldn't

What happens to riders like Etheridge, Gappmaier and the like? Do they keep their 5's or do they go down to 4?

 

I would imagine if the minimum they came in on was 5 then it will stay the same for them , think the idea is to stop inferior riders coming into the league much better to use our own youngsters than paying out for flights for riders that are no better than what the national league can provide. That's how I see it but like most people I find some of the rules vague .

1 worrrall 8.51

2 morris 4.83

3 rose 5.86

4 kus 7.55

5 lindgren 7.65

6 danny ayres 3.56

7 Philips 2

team 39.96 .............. there you go job done

 

or lambert at 1 with a 3 pointer at 6

 

either way - weak reserve pairing but I think most teams will have

any decent no 6 ... morris and rose will now be in the main body

and yes incredibly I have Philips in .......... he should be able to up his average from 1.6 to above 2

Anton Rosen has retired

He has? :( What a great shame, any reason?

 

I hope Simon Nielsen will come back, with Danny Phillips at reserve, it's funny that as soon as there's a rule change Phillips is wanted by a lot who didn't want him earlier in the season, me included

 

Also, another rider I had in the back of my mind, Lasse Bjerre, has just been snapped up by the Tigers so there's him out of the equation, would Proctor be allowed to ride in this country next year?

No Swedish riders next season miss all the Thursday night matches

That happened this year I believe, hence no LIndgren at Redcar, Sheffield.

 

How about

 

S Worrall 8.51

R Wells 7.71

L Rose 5.86

A Morris 4.83

M Kus 7.55

E Perks 3.00

J Knight 3.00

 

Comes in at 40.46, might get a reduction on Morris or Rose, wishful thinking, not sure Knight or Perks come in 2's or 3's?

 

Who'd be a team manager for a living!!! :P:P

Perks would be a 2, not sure about Knight, swap Kus for Ludvig though imo, or Wells for Ludvig at least

Not really. just needs better fixture planning. Sweden doesn't usually start until end of April(ish) and finishes earlier too. Ludvig and Vic were available for early Redcar matches and Ipswich (tho Ludvig probably wishes he wasn't for Ipswich) lol. + there are usually a couple of blank Thursdays in Sweden especially if there is an odd number of teams as there was this year.

Simon Nielsen has (also) retired.

I am certain that Knight would be a 2 as his debut in the PL was not good, Sheffield in 2016 I think as guest.

Jake Knight was in the Sheffield declared 1-7 at the start of the 2013 season, but failed to achieve a 3.00 average. Not sure what figure he actually ended up on.

I remember him really struggling and talking to HalifaxTiger about him, as he had seen a lot of him presumably at Mildenhall/Kings Lynn. Sheffield used him as a NL guest in 2016, but never caught your eye. It was suggested he should replace Danny at some time during the last season, but others doubted he would be an improvement.
