New Averages For 42 Point Limit

Recommended Posts

 

So Zengoa has got a new average from one H&A but Gappmaier hasn't? Is that the Poole factor?

With the new averages, the difference in team strengths are showing:

Belle Vue 43.96

Kings Lynn 43.24

Leicester 39.3

Poole 43.31 (or 44.75 with KK)

Rye House 41.22

Somerset 42.72 (or 43.71 with PH)

Swindon 40.98

Wolves 48.48

May as well give the trophy to Wolves now and be done with it

If the team building limit is set at 42 then only Leicester, Rye and Swindon can strengthen up.

Do we know if that part is still correct too?

Tungate is the stand out, who will get his signature as its a steal.

Yes Robin, no sorry Rohan will be a steal😉😉

Zengota has seemingly reverted back to his 2016 Elite League average

It will open up a whole new can of worms re average fixing if he returns.

 

Feel sorry for the Rebels.

Except they're not. They might be 20% less than their Championship figures but thats not divided by 1.2 and they're most certainly not in some cases, explain Lawson and Heeps....

 

exactly. Applying 80% or 0.8 to CL average makes perfect mathematical sense.

Dividing by 1.2 makes no sense at all.

That said, it would have been stranger if the BSPA had got it right!

i don't. it was ridiculous to release him when he was going to be on a 5 point average. what better rider can you get on a 5 point average?

For Swindon its a no brainer to bring him in now for Gappmaier.

how are these averages calculated. Are they based on what averages were after 4/4, even if teams have subsequently ridden more meetings?

It would seem BV have swapped Sedgman for Tungate

Link? Great move if they have. Surely odds on for a repeat of last year's final?

Tungate is brilliant at Belle Vue even when he is poor everywhere else. Not surprising he would choose there if the opportunity comes up, although he might ride himself out of a team place for next year if he scores too much.

 

Is Sedgy too high to fit in at Swindon?

Even if Tungate averaged 8 force rest of the season it will mean he ends on averge around 7 which wouldn't make him too unattractive.

Sedgman would fit for BWD I believe, but not as a replacement for gappmaier - though a couple of poor meetings could change that.

Yes -Sedgmen's average is too high if making a straight swap with Dany

It would be harsh on BWD - the only one worth considering replacing is Dany (IMHO). With Ellis at reserve, the team should do better.

I thought Tungate's average was 5.09 from his 4H 4A so how has he ended up on 4.something??

It is anyone's guess how these averages have been calculated.

Nothing official yet although we should get an announcement very shortly.

 

It's a great move. Strangely our home form has been off. Don't think Steve has been as solid and as we carry 2 reserves it's really critical the top 5 deliver. Tungate will fix that.

 

Feel a bit for Justin. He's always a steady Eddie. Feels like an eternity waiting for him to step up to heat leader
