KL take some beating with theirs though. Swindon and Sheffield give you 24 hours, Poole are giving 48 hours notice. But KL make you wait nearly a week!! :o

King's Lynn need to pull something out the bag to make the Play-Off's in 2020.

Sheffield and Swindon looking strong already so looks as though 2 spots gone already. 

Robert Lambert is a must and needs retaining but, I feel he requires someone else to partner him as a heatleader and probably not have Lambert as the No1 again.

A 2nd guaranteed heatleader is a must to challenge, strength in depth will show again to be a to weak approach. 2 rider's likely to bag you half the points required for a win is a must. 

I'd seriously look at something like:

1. Mikkel Michelsen 8.00

2. Scott Nicholls 5.50

3. Craig Cook 7.59

4. Niels Iversen 7.54

5. Robert Lambert 7.61

6. Ashley Morris 3.24

7. Connor Mountain 3.00

 

Ave: 42.48

Reserves not good enough in that team.  I think Lambert, Cook and Riss will be good enough IF the bottom end are built to be better away from home than in 2019.

How about Brady Kurtz? A top 3 of Brady, Craig and Robert backed up by the likes of Erik and Lewis would be a decent top 5... Would leave a bit of room at reserve too... How about something like...

Robert Lambert ©      7.61    GBR
Erik Riss                       6.61    GER
Craig Cook                   7.59    GBR
Richard Lawson          5.64    GBR
Brady Kurtz                  7.54    AUS
Lewis Kerr                    5.43    GBR
Connor Mountain        2.00    GBR

Total:                            42.42

Not sure whether Connor is ready but can't think of any other 2.00ers that could do a decent job at King's Lynn? But considering he's born in King's Lynn, it would be a nice story... He's never ridden for them though? Not even in the NL... Richard Lawson has not been mention anywhere else? And Brady Kurtz would do well at King's Lynn imo and where else would he go if not King's Lynn? Don't want to lose him from British speedway... Robert and Craig are a must keep, but not as a partnership as they seem to take eachother off a lot!! And Erik is great, especially at number 2... Can't see Lewis Kerr being anywhere else, and to have him at reserve is where he's best...
Nice British core to the team at the former international track...

Who says 2 pointers are allowed next year?

And Mountain’s converted average would be 2.95.

Would he not be considered a new rider to the league? So come in on a 2.00 assessed average? Or is there different rules in the PL compared to CL? xD Is that converting his 4.73 (before 2.5% reduction) average from Leicester last year?

With a TS format I don't think strong reserves add anything, a stronger top 5 is far more important now. 

Teams have performed better home and away with a top 1 and 5 plus strong 3 and 4.

We're back to where reserves don't win you meeting anymore.

My original team.

 

 

Robert Lambert    7.81
Craig Cook            7.78
Niels k Iversen     7.54
Erik Riss                6.61
Ryan Douglas       4.66
Broc Nichol           4.00
Jonas Jeppersen 4.00

42.40

 

Swap Douglas for Jake Allen 5.56 leaves 3.20 Tom Bacon for final rider to replace Nichol or Jeppesen
