Here's a team that fits with Flint at reserve:

If they increase the limit by a point, swap out Kildemand for Danny King.

 

C Holder 6.84
T Musielak 6.63
C Harris 6.53
P Kildemand 5.28
A Rowe 5.22
L Flint 5.06
L Harrison R/S

Musielak form v sketchy..anders isn't a hot leader..kildemand sketchy,I like Chris holder but don't think he's a number one.

I wasn't for one minute suggesting that should be the Sheffield team, or that it would be a good team.

Someone suggested Sheffield could build a team to keep Leon Flint at reserve.   

This team was just a way to make that fit.  Of course in reality Flint isn't going to be at reserve.  Sheffield couldn't build a strong team which keeps Flint at reserve.   He will be a second string.

Rather keep Pickering and get rid of Chris

Even with a 25% discount for coming out of the R/S programme, Flint is still 5.06 average.   So no way he'll fit in at reserve.

He's at reserve in the potential team I posted

Last year's team, yes.    

But you'll struggle to build a team for 2026 and have Flint at reserve unless you ditch Jack Holder and Pickering go for the 2025 King's Lynn model of all 6-point riders.

I'm talking about the team I posted top, wasn't a struggle at all. Until the AGM I mainly build potential teams using the current rules.

I've read people talk about a 36 point limit, I've read others say that's rubbish. It's all guesswork until something official is announced.

I was picking a team to keep Flint at reserve under the current rules. If the limit is lowered I agree he wouldn't be at reserve.

That puts Flint at second string, not reserve!  :rolleyes::blink:

I know, I always said I had Flint as a reserve if the rules were the same as this year (40 points limit). I never said he'd be at reserve if the limit was lowered.
