I think a 100% fit MPT should put something on his 5.13(if he is fit). Having said that we have over a point to play with. Agree with Thomson, but considering the trouble we was in at the back end of last season, i'll take that team, with room for a change maybe, at some time.  

Yes mate, I do agree he should increase his average. He’s had some horrendous luck and I was probably harsh on him earlier. 

I trust Rob’s judgement so if that’s what he thinks is the best option, it’s good enough for me.

Look through all the prediction threads before the start of every season and you’ll note that the vast majority of us haven’t got a clue  some of my predictions in particular are horrendous! 
 

 

Absolutely, in the last half a dozen seasons Swindon, Lynn and Dad's Army P'boro have all finished top of the pile having been predicted to finish bottom. In such a small league if things go your way you can have a very good season.

Tobi is bound to put a few on the gate maybe even a few Panthers fans despite their misgivings.

[Rickyag]

No, we will not ever visit Kings Lynn again, obvious the AEPG gold coins have financed TM deal.

You may not speak for all Panthers fans though

I think the team building start for the Stars is decent.  NKI has all the experience you want & Musielak is a #1.   Basso should sky rocket and MPT is solid but coming off two poor seasons.

Think KL needs a good second heat leader to keep pressure off the Danes   Not sure Tarasenko fits that if he is pencilled in as next signing.  Two 6.5ish riders completing the line up hangs Musielak out to dry in 13 & 15.

Unlikely as it maybe what's Robert Lamberts average.

Lambert is still on his 7.81.Plus he would get 2.5% reduction on that I assume.

Lambert 7.61 ... start dreaming Stars Fans!

Tarasenko averaged over 8 at  home for PB last season. Once dialled in I think he will be good backup at the AFA for Tobi. Away from home won’t  be as easy, but you must build a team that is strong at home ,if you don’t want that wooden spoon again, and want to keep the fans turning up week after week. We will be around 1.3 under the limit, which might allow Robert to slot in later in the season.. I’ll admit the last bit is just wishful thinking on my part. If we can get top 4 though, you never know…

Fingers are well and truly crossed. 

Everyone expect TM and NKI should probably up their starting average, or maybe even they can slightly.

TM - 8.69 to 8.9 

MPT - 5.13 to 6.5

BB - 6.25 to 7

NKI - 6.64 to 6.8

VT - 6.94 to 7.5

PW - 5 to 6 

AR - 4.62 to 5 

Total 43.31 (38.69) to 47.7 (42.7)

Should see us over the line at home 90% of the time

Decent side, shame it took my team shutting down to get it, I imagine most of them would have been back at Peterborough. Best of luck.

[Panther1997]

Has anyone told Buster the team building limit has been increased to 40?

[Daniel Smith]

I've said every year "why do clubs always try to hit the team building limit?" 

I think King's Lynn might just have it bob-on this year (even though I wouldn't have signed 3 of them ). Genuinely solid throughout & every single rider except Musielak should improve their starting average. 

That's what team building should be, who improves, not who fit in to 40 points. 

If rider's don't improve it gives the club a large scope to play with. 

King's Lynn Speedway, for the first time in a decade from me, WELL DONE

Exactly

[TINYS]

I don,t think we will get the wooden spoon this time round.

[MP78]

Should be good for Wojdylo to start at reserve and paired up with Rowe should see them as the best pair of reserves in the league

[TTT]

Will do well at Home, Usual battering's on the road though.

Question is can the injury prone MPT and NKI stay fit?

Disagree. If the points are there, use them. You can still have average improvers in your team, but the fact is if you’d been a little more ambitious and pushed the boat that little further, you could have had Harris or Richard Lawson instead of MPT. You can’t tell me neither of those two wouldn’t have made this team even stronger by using the available points. Yes I know they’ve agreed deals elsewhere and they may not have even been an option, but on the other hand they may have been if you’d been quicker off the mark. 
 

The team looks ok and has potential, but it could and probably should, have been better. If I were a Lynn fan this would have left me frustrated. Slight missed opportunity for me.

2 British riders agreed, then did U turns. I'll say no more
