I think The Aces will stick with six of this year’s team that have been the mainstays for many seasons. The vacant spot will depend on the points limit being between Zagar or Cairns. 

Brady & Dan. No better top two. 

Jaimon. No better third heat leader, home or away. 

Norick. No one better at his age or younger. 

Tate. No better three pointer. 

Jake. As good as most RS for this coming season, though he’d move to first reserve should the limit be low and gain a 25% reduction with a real average being used rather than the 3 point base rate.

Zagar or Cairns. Best number four or a very promising RS.Play offs as usual then hope we have Brady & Dan from 2024 instead of 2025.
 

Be sad if we need to off load more from our conveyor belt of talent but if it keeps or brings teams to our league then I’ll live with it. 
In an alternate universe we have a top five of Brady, Dan, Max, Jaimon & Tom. Staring average of that team before we worked our magic, around 22 - wow. 

But that’s 6 of the 7 from last season that were woeful away from home and the one rider you left out in Zach Cook was awesome at home 

Brady and Dan are the best top 2 in the league 

Id definitely have Brennan over Lidsey

With Blodorn he was awful last season maybe the SGP2 win will help him but he basically was the worst number 2 in the league 

All season your fans moaned about the 2 reserves and Norick and now you want all 3 back?

No. We want Dan and Brady back and to have them we will need a 3 pointer. So no better than Tate who’s had a years experience now

6. T. Zischke 3.00

7. W. Cairns (RS)

= 35.89

What would be the reason for a 36 point limit? If there's less clubs then no reason to lower the limit. Unless it's to encourage Champ clubs to step up / Northampton to join in?

Maybe financial considerations. Sounds like most teams lost big bucks this year and with rumours of no tv deal must be terrified.

Maybe to unilaterally remove the cost and points of at least one top rider per team and remove Rising star concept in favour of another reserve.

And then put admission prices up to £30 so we can watch even more sub standard riders and rip the public off some more

Personally I don't believe the 36 Points Limit rumour simply because of the amount of riders who finished on 6+ GSA's in 2025.

As always, I just go with the flow in the off season and build teams within a points limit just to show an example of how strong a team / teams could look like within the rumoured rules.

My personal guess is a 40.00 limit and I still wouldn't be surprised to see one team join the Premiership (Glasgow or Scunthorpe)

If they wanted to lower the cost, wouldn't adding a 2nd "rising star" be more beneficial than removing the system completely?
