League One 1-24 prediction comp 2025-26

[masi51]

Pretty much just listed everyone in budget order.

I had you down at 22nd second week of June......Would have you about 10th now just because of Wellens factor
We are desperate for two upfront Dalby out until mid-August and Adeboyejo until Christmas
All we currently have for the opening game away to Stockport is a 18 year old kid who is a unit but raw and needs a season or two in the national league.
Unless we bring in two forwards this Window i expect us to finish around the play-offs
We bring a decent forward in i fancy us to push for the top two......We are head and shoulders better than last season

 

[BogDaddyO]

After week one in the transfer window some teams are certainly going for it and interestingly the three play-off teams from the season just gone are all weaker...The three relegated teams have as yet not had the clear out you may expect. The four teams that have come up have up to now lost their main players from last season though i have it on good authority we have signed Teddy Sharman Lowe on loan from Chelsea who was Doncaster number one last season.


These are my predictions after the first transfer window....They will certainly change before August,

1st Luton
2nd Huddersfield
3rd Plymouth
4th Bolton
5th Cardiff
6th Blackpool






21stExeter
22ndOrient
23rdPeterborough
24th Wimbledon

Wimbledon will not attract good enough players to compete. Peterborough are on a downward path and keep selling their best players and are weaker year on year. Orient wont be there come August if they have the same manager, but today their squad is small and needs a re-build. Exeter are slightly weaker but know how to survive and shithouse enough to stay above the bottom four all season.
As i say these are my predictions if the season was starting Saturday

Orient 22nd?

Obviously I'm biased but if we finish bottom 4 I will genuinely donate £50 to a charity of your choosing.

Feel free to save this post and remind me next summer!

This post was written on the 7th of June on at that Date all your loan players had gone back..........You would have to had to play six kids
It also states i do not expect you to be their come August.

If i was doing the Championship on that date i would have had Sheff Wed 10th...... Now i would have them bottom

Today i may not have Bolton in the top six but if we sign a proven forward that would change.

This is going to be badly wrong so if I have placed you at the bottom then congratulations on your now inevitable playoff campaign.

1. Huddersfield
2. Blackpool
3. Cardiff
4. Bolton
5. Luton
6. Reading
7. Wycombe
8. Stockport
9. Plymouth
10. Orient
11. Wigan
12. Stevenage
13. Lincoln
14. Barnsley
15. Bradford
16. Rotherham
17. Vale
18. Doncaster
19. Mansfield
20. Burton (after starting with no wins in the first fifteen like usual)
21. Peterborough*
22. Exeter
23. Northampton
24. Wimbledon

*The only reason I’ve put Peterborough in the bottom four is based on nothing other than they signed Okagbue from Walsall the other day and he is quite probably the most useless excuse for a footballer I’ve ever seen. We beat them at the Bescot end of last season and honestly I had him down as our MOTM.

Mansfield to be relegated theres a few on here on recreational tablets methinks

 

[SF_]

Surely Cardiff don't keep Salech & Robinson? That'd be as good an attack as there's been at this level.

Wintle, Willock, Robertson, and Colwill would also be a seriously good midfield.

you said the exact same thing last year but with Huddersfield players.....That never ended well

Somebody has to be. Most people have us to be relegated, based on ot a lot really.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Cardiff are an absolute mess. They were also totally awful last year and easily the worst of the three relegated sides by a margin.

I honestly don’t see how some can put Luton 5th and 6th with (a) the squad as it currently stands and (b) the spending power. Yes, we have injuries and players have left, but there is still considerable talent in that squad. We should never have been relegated with the players at the club’s disposal - a lot of it was mentality. In the last 15 games before WBA, Luton actually had top 6 form - it’s just the others in/around the bottom kept winning too!

As I’ve said before, having a projected £30m budget will be a help at this level as there is a gap up to the league above.

I have you down to be relegated each year and i am always glad you survive......Would be no fun without Exeter

Your squad has a soft underbelly and are used to losing.......Who is the Bastard who will roll his sleeves up on a cold blustery January night at Mansfield
Prima Donnas on 20k a week who think they are better than they are .....Tom Lockyer as much stated this and unless you address this you will stagnate in this league.

Does not matter if you have a budget of 100m you can only have a squad of 23 and unless you offload these players you cannot bring hungry younger players in
You are correct it is a mentality, it is hard to motivate millionaires playing in the EFL
Birmingham more or less re-built

You may well walk the league but again you may finish out of the play-offs........I thought Birmingham would walk the league last year not sure about you this season

 

[SF_]

Don't think I did as Salech and Robinson didn't play for them.

I always predict Bolton to be promoted and you always let me down wouldn't be the same without you though

 

[Spanishstag]

Personally think we will be solid mid table at least ,might even flirt with the play offs for a while but ultimately mid league cup winners

As much as I like you guys, I just don't see it. You were awful in the 2nd half of last season and from our own experience, it's difficult to turn that around. Signings have been solid but unspectacular.

You won't go down but I'd be absolutely amazed if you're anywhere near top half. You'll be in with us, Bradford, Donny etc. Playing for 14th to 20th.

Okay apologies I dont know what went on there, never been great at IT, the main standout is Exeter are obviously going to finish higher than Plymouth Argyle

 

[masi51]

I have waited until the final week, still some Transfer business to be done but i think there is no stand out team this season....Huddersfield, Blackpool, Bolton and Wigan have recruited well. The three teams Relegated are not as strong as they were in May yet will have enough about them to stay in the top 6 though i do not have any of them to bounce straight back up.....The 4 that came up will have survival on the mind and i do not think i have any in the top half......Here goes
1 Huddersfield
2 Bolton
3Luton
4 Cardiff
5Wycombe
6 Plymouth
7 Stockport
8 Blackpool
9 Wigan
10 orient
11 Reading
12 Doncaster
13 Stevenage
14 Barnsley
15 Rotherham
16 Bradford
17 Port Vale
18 Mansfield
19 Peterboro
20 Lincoln
21 Northampton
22 Exeter
23 Burton
24 Wimbledon

Not many will agree especially Bolton but i think we have our best chance of going up automatically this season than any season. Not many will know about our incomings over say Huddersfield who are all names most on here know. We have changed formation to 4/2/3/1
Look out for our two wingers this season Gayle and Crozier-Duberry they are going to rip some teams up.
Our front line is the only thing that concerns me but again in Burstow and Dalby we now have a big unit to play-off.
We are stuck with players who do not fit into this system and we seem hard to move on this season so for me Schumacher will get a bye
We have got round that by signing a few under 21 players.....With only one player Sheehan in the squad who has turned 30

 

[denzel ecfc]

As high as 22nd? Youre going soft

 

[masi51]

It is getting harder on the bottom half to survive year on year....The teams that came up last season were a exceptional lot. This seasons four i would say three will survive
You only have to finish 5th bottom of your league of twelve

Only one I really would vary with you is on Blackpool. They’re at least playoffs for my money. If Imray who they’ve signed on loan from Palace can replicate his performances at Bromley last season all I will say is watch out and they’ve got some proper experience at the back too. Do think Schumacher will have you up there very close though.

We are carrying about four or five players who quite frankly are not in Schumacher plans yet do not look like they are looking to move on, this may hamper us
I, like you had Blackpool top six with my original top 6 as they have recruited well but they have also lost their best three players in Offiah, Apter, and Carey.
I think our season all depends on how the new forward do.......The two wingers look good for this league and our two number 9s are unproven in this league though Dalby got double figures in the Scottish Premiership and was impressing in training before getting injured. Mason Burstow was signed for 2m by Hull last season then was played out of position.
We have been head and shoulders better in pre-season than we were last season but it is early days.....Feeling confident yes
