Baldyman Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Do you really want to know what I think of that team? That's why I like off season team building, as it's all about others opinions. It's harsh not having king in the team but we race a lot of Friday teams, and that means missing king for a fair percentage of those.

Christopher Bcmma Cook Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Baldyman.... Yes please let me know your thoughts, I am not one of these who gets offended when we are discussing just fantasy ha i'd also like to see Kyle Howarth in there somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Well in that case lol. No but seriously I don't think it's the strongest and I don't think it would win a single home meeting. And probably none away either lol. Again howarth not for me. Haven't seen any improvement in him over the last few seasons. I wouldn't mind seeing a top 3 of cook covatti and Worrall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScotsman Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Errr should this not be in the Ippo 2016 thread or even 2017 or 2018? And the dream top 3 everyone would want is Cookie, Smiling Sam and either Super Agent Kevin or Sedgy the Sedgehammer. And there's only 1 PL team likely to have them!!

Christopher Bcmma Cook Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 so my team is similar to this seasons not winning many home or away lol i'll stick to MMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Everything is possible if the money is right. Do you think Edinburgh could field all 4 of those next season? Sadly no. Their rolling greensheet averages at the moment are....... 36.01!! Cookie 10.12 / Smiler 9.13 / Agent K 8.51 / Sedgy 8.25. So under 6 and a half points to play with for 3 riders - one of whom is Erik who is on 5.05!! I suppose we could track a 5 man team - probably win a few as well!!

JamesB Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think King has been very good and has been the number 1 we have been looking for. I would also keep Covatti for the entertainment value alone but not sure there's much upside on his average unless he can learn to gate. I have also been impressed with Morris, he has the ability to gate and at times has looked quick. We are unlikely to see Manzares unless his visa was granted for more than one year or someone arranges a nice little state championship somewhere. I don't think he's been fully fit for any length of time and on his current average would probably keep him. Tungate and Heeps would benefit from riding somewhere else for at least a season and we should get loan fees for them. I am really not sure about Nielsen as I don't think he ever looks particularly comfortable around Foxhall but maybe that's just his riding style. As to replacements, I haven't given it a great deal of thought but having Garrity and Covatti in the same team would be entertaining!! I also like Lawson and he is a tryer. Wells is also always consistent around Foxhall. Lunna looked decent the other week before running out of steam and his scores are a bit up and down, but he looked the type of kid whose got a bit about him. Finally, Riss in for Heeps - but I can't see Edinburgh letting him get away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Bcmma Cook Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 In Covatti you are talking about a rider who was one win away from the GP's and is in the GP Challenge final, with further investment and some fine tuning, I would rip up the scrap book and he could easily become the no.1 for next season, would rather see an entertaining side next season with improvement than the same old so now i will change it to 1. Nico Covatti 2. Robin Aspregen 3. Richie Worrall 4. Kyle Newman 5. Ricky Wells 6. Arthur Sissis 7. Ashley Morris LOL or am i kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Covatti 2. Robin Aspregen 3. Richie Worrall 4. Kyle Newman 5. Ricky Wells 6. Arthur Sissis 7. Ashley Morris LOL or am i kidding Covatti would be a massive risk as a number 1 because his gating is so inconsistent. If there's a lot of grip out wide, then he can recover but even with that grip struggles to catch a Cook, Kennett, etc. He has struggled on the couple of occasions when there has not been an outside line at Foxhall. Also, his away scores are not the scores of a number 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Bcmma Cook Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Look set for a season of 1. King 2. Palovaara 3. Covatti 4. Heeps 5. Tungate 6. Sissis 7. Morris Zzzzzzzz boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) That's interesting you say that about covatti. I tend to agree about the out and out number one status, but not even king could beat Kennett or cook at home. I would keep king if he doesn't race for a Thursday or Friday track in the elite league. Also it's Nielsens riding style that makes him look uncomfortable. He is very upright on the bike. Danny King to be Panthers number 1 Not if he stays at Coventry, as a Friday track.
