Speedway Fantasy League

[Interpol Shrimper]

Anybody fancy joining in the (FREE TO ENTER) Speedway Fantasy League for the forthcoming 2010 season? Thought we could perhaps create a SZ mini-league as well if we get say at least 6 posters entering their team(s).

Myself & Sherif H have already signed up.

If you ask Sherif nicely, I'm sure he will give you some advice like he did me! I picked names I'd heard of, & then guessed at the others that were at teams I knew had done well last season. That said, I spent ages looking for Crump until I found out he rides in Poland!! :dim:

Unfortunately, due to the nature of Speedway (i.e. in that historically, and sometimes due to planning restrictions/covenants, different teams in England run on different days of the week) not all of the top riders who split their time earning money in the other top leagues in Poland/Sweden/Russia/Denmark, can make it to England (nor is it sometimes worthwile due to the fact that the governing body - BSPA - keep reducing the points limit for building a team).

The likes of Jason Crump, Nikki Pedersen and Emil Sayfutdinov etc...are all in this boat....England needs them more than they need England, but unfortunately, their points average is so high that, even if they were available and recruited, it often leaves team line-ups bottom heavy, as there are not enough points left to build a balanced point-scoring team accross the other 6 riders.
