Stoneman would be on a 2.00 ave

How about? Berwick Chris Harris 7.91 Ben Barker 6.87 Ricky Wells 6.70 Leon Flint 5.89 Theo Pijper 5.51 Jye Etheridge 5.35 Kyle Bickley 3.51 Total 41.74

Easy to fix, when or if the BSPL ever announce final aves!

Bradley Wilson-Dean's last ave was 5.47 in Prem. 5.47 x 1.5 = 8.21

Leicester 2022? Nick Morris 8.61 Richie Worrall 7.76 Kyle Howarth 7.52 Connor Mountain 5.06 Dan Thompson 5.03 Anders Rowe 3.99 Joe Thompson 3.65 Total 41.62

While it's not a bad suggestion for riders to achieve a certain NDL ave before being allowed in the Champ, there's riders like Dan Bewley & Connor Bailey who coped with being thrust into the middle tier to start with!

Not trying to be nasty, just honest! Freeman had 12 matches, 35 rides & scored only 3 points, each of those was in front of a non-finisher! I'm guessing he was signed because it would be cheap & the team was already weak! For him free / paid practice (providing his confidence wasn't destroyed)!

1) what need was there to "press" Archie into the team, there must've been at least 20+ riders who could've replaced JPB at number 7? 2) why wouldn't Rob Grant let someone else take over the Gems if they were going to pay for it? Makes no sense!

Richie & 4.37 available Steve & 3.08 available Which Worrall are people suggesting? Leicester Nick Morris 8.61 Richie Worrall 7.76 Kyle Howarth 7.52 Connor Mountain 5.06 Dan Thompson 5.03 4.37 Joe Thompson 3.65 Total 42.00 Leicester Steve Worrall 9.05 Nick Morris 8.61 Kyle Howarth 7.52 Connor Mountain 5.06 Dan Thompson 5.03 Joe Thompson 3.65 3.08 Total 42.00

As did Hull in 2004

Poole won the league with a strong top 3, Glasgow finished 2nd with a strong top 1+1/2 (2 with Ostergaard, 1 when he was injured), Leicester finished 3rd with a strong top 4, Edinburgh finished 5th with a strong top 3! Heat leaders alone don't win leagues, Poole had points from reserve to!

The big difference is those young Brits scored points for their teams last year, no offence to Freeman but he was the worst rider in the league! Not blaming him - he was put into the Champ before he had mastered the NDL so couldn't be expected to score points!

I've just noticed that as Lawson signed on 31/5 he did don't have a new Champ ave, maybe he would've got a converted ave if he signed on 1/6?

They convert averages when going Prem - Champ, so unless the rules are different for going the other way, they must convert aves when going from Champ - Prem? I noticed Adam Ellis used a converted ave, when signing for Scunthorpe after the season started, but Richard Lawson didn't when signing for King's Lynn - a tad confusing! Why would Ellis get his Prem ave converted & Lawson not get his Champ ave converted, when their situations are identical?

No they don't, Adam Ellis had a Champ & Prem ave from 2019, but signed for Scunthorpe on a converted Prem ave! Unless they rules are different for moving up compared to dropping down?

If Rowe misses the start of the Prem season, he'd then come in on a converted Champ ave (3.00) & be more valuable to teams / able to ask for a better deal?

How about every team races home & away twice, then 6th drops out, remaining 5 race home & away again - 5th drops out, remaining 4 race again etc. Minimum 10 home matches, maximum 20 home matches! Won't happen I know, but would be something different!

Best option would be to sign 6 riders & leave 3.00 available for An Other! Sign Anders Rowe (4.35) but keep it a secret so he starts the season in Champ only! Then sign him up after Championship has started on his converted ave 3.99 / 1.5 = minimum 3.00 ave! When his rolling ave kicks in 4.35 drop him for Jye Etheridge, who also only started in the Champ on his converted ave 5.35 / 1.5 = minimum 4.00 ave. When Etheridge's rolling ave kicks in (5.22) drop him for Michael P Toft, who also only started in the Champ on his converted ave 7.33 / 1.5 = 4.89. End up with Palm Toft on his (7.17) rolling ave, instead of the 3.00 used to build your team! Only have to finish 4th out of 6 to make play-offs, so don't have to worry about starting off weaker! I know this won't happen, but does show how current regulations can easily be manipulated without breaking any rules!

Not unless the rules have changed, riders were on 2.00 averages this year!

Matthew Wethers (4.31)?

Well my "sensible" option wasn't liked lol!

Looking for a stronger top end lol! Belle Vue Jason Doyle 8.96 Max Fricke 8.81 Chris Harris 6.84 Steve Worrall 5.94 Richie Worrall 5.37 Jordan Palin 3.00 Tom Brennan RS Total 38.92

How about NBJ to complete the team? Newcastle 2022? Bradley W-Dean 8.21 Nikolaj B Jakobsen 6.34 Matthew Wethers 6.47 Paul Starke 6.47 Max Clegg 5.27 James Wright 5.07 George Congreve 4.00 Total 41.83

Maybe the majority didn't rate Peterborough, but I certainly did, so you can't say "nobody" gave them a chance! As for Newcastle, I don't think the team looks strong, but if I was a Newcastle fan I'd just be happy to still have Speedway!

This team fits! Edinburgh 2022? Sam Masters 9.41 Josh Pickering 8.34 Richie Worrall 7.76 Kye Thompson 5.51 Cameron Heeps 4.95 Drew Kemp 3.72 Jason Edwards 2.11 Total 41.80
