As Perks and Ellis are certs what does that leave us for the last 2? I'm guessing about 2.5!! Seems a bit mad to be going down this route but I will wait to be surprised with the last 2 

Adam Ellis is no longer a cert. Minimum average for any rider in top league is 3.00. The signing of Jensen has effectively ruled out Tobiasz and Adam.

The return of Rasmus means the likelihood of no Tobiasz or Adam in 2020.

That would be a barmy decision IMO. Both of those have more improvement in their averages than any of the heatleader trio Swindon have just signed. Providing the Pole was up for a return, those two should have been the first names on the team sheet after securing Doyle.

6.8 left for the two reserves, plus anything from a Brit reduction if Ellis qualifies? So that’s Ellis Perks in the main body, and a couple of 3ish pointers at reserve. 
 

That’s crazy IMO.

I got the Rasmus signing spot on 

No you didn’t. I captured your “welcome back Nick Morris” call & “a former British title winner” You’ve amended, removed so many messages I don’t even think you know what you’ve put.

Can’t quite get my head around this it’s a bit bizarre. You had to shed how many points off your total? All logic says you do that by dropping one of your heatleaders on expensive averages. As has been said, I don’t see improvement in any of the three signed. 
 

Jensen has been knocking around for a few years now and only last season looked the real deal. Swindon need to hope that wasn’t just a purple patch otherwise they’ll be up sh!t creek.

Would expect some early season changes once the averages start dropping.

That’s going to be some tail. 

Dont worry about the tail Bagpuss we are going to score about 40 pts plus everyweek even on a bad day.Our strength is in heats 13/15 and at reserve we have in Ellis Perks a rider  who can improve again.At reserve with that top end strength some weeks we can afford for our reserves to only have to score   5/7 points between them.

Good to see Rasmus back. Surely Ellis has to be in the side, too, which leaves three 3 pointers at the bottom end.

I will not be happy is Adam Ellis gets left out.
