Col Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I agree how can anyone have an average above 12.00.... Typical BSPA Muppets.. should have been capped at 12.00 Even 12:00 is harsh. One EF and it is no longer obtainable. Be interesting to see which riders end up where between Somerset & Swindon, I guess due to location allot of Somerset riders were doubling up with Swindon. Something like: Doyle, 6 pointer, Alden, 6 pointer, Morris, Neilsen, 2 pointer. Edited November 8, 2016 by Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Even 12:00 is harsh. One EF and it is no longer obtainable. The point is its not supposed to be with a 50 point limit. The vast majority of riders will finish with a lower limit than what they started with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I agree how can anyone have an average above 12.00.... Typical BSPA Muppets.. should have been capped at 12.00 Because in a 50 point limit ALL riders average are higher than they should obtain. If you cap them at 12 then the guys on 11-12 are a lot less desirable. It does make sense. Stop looking at an average as an average of what a rider can score and more a relative value to their team.

Crazy robin Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Very tough to build a team around such a ridiculous average. Jason Doyle 13.69 I would guess Graczonek would join him and than a pick and mix of CL and NL riders. Possibly Erik Riss or Dmitri Berge? Would rather have Nick over Josh.

Reliant Robin Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 With the way it's looking, I think Sedgmen & Morris are ok value for their averages in a weakened league. Possibly throw in Klindt (if he can be tempted back) and build below that. Top heavy but was always going to be with Jason on 13.41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Could Mads be worth a punt 8.45 converted average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Mads did a reasonable job for Lynn last year in hindsight they should had kept him , if he could end a season like he starts he'd be a good signing, can't believe I've just typed that! Sign of the mess the silly buggers have left us all in Just go all out with Doyle and Holder , half the points allowance then fill it with ringers ,may as well! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and when they have a proper average strengthen up - nothing to lose and could do a Coventry and storm up the league when changes are made. I think as a minimum we should stick with Doyle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just go all out with Doyle and Holder , half the points allowance then fill it with ringers ,may as well! Why not especially if 50 points is the limit after the first lot of green sheets and the teams use averages earnt in April. Have riders lined up for May.

Have riders lined up for May. Could cause a problem with riders knowing they will get bombed after the first set of averages. It's going to be hard with Jason's average but no other way to go for me.

Maz01793 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 As each Prem team requires 2 x Brits. I would like to see Swindon get Robert Mear & Chris Harris. My opinion is that Ludvig Lindgren after finishing the season on a 3pt average has to be an absolute steal. Don't really like Nielson, wouldn't feel confident in him clocking up the points even in a watered down league. Also I know that people wouldn't agree with me on this one but I like the look of Ben Barker on his lovely low average. Always a racer and never gives up ...

waiheke1 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 The point is its not supposed to be with a 50 point limit. The vast majority of riders will finish with a lower limit than what they started with.This. take their official average and multiply by 0.85. Then a assess whether u think it looks like value in this weakened league. And for number ones, also take into account they will get 5 rides not 4. Doyle would still be part of my swindon plans for sure, as would morris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldswindonsupporter Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 According to a Twitter post from SpeedwayGP, "Danish racer @madskliski admits he's set to sit out British #speedway after signing for @DackarnaMalilla".

hagonshocker Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 You've got more chance of signing Emil Sayfutdinov. Oh ok then that'll do as a last resort.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Any team suggestions with Jason? I just had a bit of a go. I came up with this, which doesn't look too weak from 2-7 bearing in mind what other sides will look like too. Doyle 13.41 Harris 9.21 Wright 6.59 (hmmm, Charles as third heatleader looks a bit dodgy) T. Kurtz 5.76 (random last rider who fitted in) Klindt 5.42 Nielsen 5.53 Ayers 3.70 That comes to 49.62. Doyle and Harris would be a damn good spearhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have riders lined up for May. It would be ridiculous 8f they keep the 50 point limit based on actual averages, and Chris Louis has alluded some conversion will be used - which is unnneccesary, they should just drop the limit to 42/43 points.
