Gavan Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 no brainer to go with Doyle if you get the back up right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelDan Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 If we can get Andersen on a 5, why not get Hansen too thus giving more points above Bellegos average for say Zengota type of rider. Zengota or an equivalent rider will be in the team come the first set of averages - the changes this year for most teams could be like no other year , as riders averages will drop in the main, leaving plenty of room to strengthen. I can't see many teams having the same 1-7 all season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YerRopes Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Can anyone tell me what happens if Doyle gets injured and we can now only rebuild to 42 points.. Thanks in advance.. Edited December 2, 2016 by Yer Ropes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Relegation. That might happen with him in the team☹️️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Can anyone tell me what happens if Doyle gets injured and we can now only rebuild to 42 points.. Thanks in advance.. Like for like. If it's before 4H&A we could sign anyone up to 13.41 or, after, anyone up to Doyle's achieved average. E.g. Kildemand on 9.94. No worries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 People complaining about Ellis, he's Swindons best signing this year! Let's be honest he hasn't got much competition even on his average. Still can't understand signing Bellego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Under average system of 2016 this 2017 Swindon side comes to just over 37. So, after the 4 home & 4 away if the riders perform to their actual averages Swindon will be able to strengthen which would be the difference and make you Play-Off contenders. For me though, the biggest concern should be Doyle. Nobody knows if he's going to be mentally fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 2016 averages are irrelevant though as brand new averages will apply after 4H&A. Most teams will be about 42 then, although Poole might be 44 & Leicester 38! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Don't spoil it! Can't we just enjoy the illusion that we have a ringer for at least one day? No, you are not Poole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 People complaining about Ellis, he's Swindons best signing this year!Id actually class both morris and Doyle as better signings. But agree Ellis is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Id actually class both morris and Doyle as better signings. But agree Ellis is a good one. Can Doyle score (13.41/4=) 3.5525 per ride? Nope. Impossible. Can Ellis score (7.84/4=) 1.96 per ride? Yep. If they pair him with Bellego & reserves for all of his rides, quite easily.

If they pair him with Bellego & reserves for all of his rides, quite easily. I reckon Doyle will drop 20% off his average and Ellis about the same (maybe a little less of a drop). But Doyle will score a point more on average in heat 15 than an alternative hl, and that where his value lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they pair him with Bellego & reserves for all of his rides, quite easily. He is a heatleader now though so I can't see Ellis scoring the inflated average. It's a big step to go from a good reserve to a heatleader. The old format means he won't be protected anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average rider will drop 15% off their average, Ellis will be around that figure I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
