League One table predictions 2026-27

[Crowbar6753]

Judging by most peoples opinions i would say 80% of the tables read the same however strangely enough there seem to be two teams really dividing opinion. Mansfield Town and MK Dons. People have them in the promotion zone and also in the relegation zone!
MK Dons could be the surprise package having acquired some good signings along with a promotion bounce they could be an interesting team to watch which sucks as they seem to be everyone's team to hate outside of your normal rivals as well as being the custodians of the word 'Tinpot".
The bookies seem to be thinking Mansfield's capture of McGoldrick from Barnsley will shoot them up the table and to be fair they have looked pretty decent at times and may prove a great signing. I guess we'll see soon.

Judging by the league 1 subreddit There are quite a few in Leicester who don't think so.

I was hoping to cheat a little, using a popular LLM to predict the league 1 final standings. But I disagree with them in a few places, so back to my own prediction:

1. Leicester
2. Stockport
3. Bradford City
4. Huddersfield
5. Barnsley
6. Blackpool
7. Oxford
8. Luton
9. Mansfield
10. MK Dons
11. Plymouth
12. Wigan
13. Sheffield Wednesday
14. Reading
15. Wycombe
16. Peterborough
17. Leyton Orient
18. Stevenage
19. Doncaster
20. Burton
21. Bromley
22. Notts County
23. Cambridge
24. AFC Wimbledon

Some EFL expert, Gab Sutton, has Luton down for winning the league with us finishing in 17th. Thinks we'll struggle. Mind you, never heard of him, or her for that matter. Never know these days.

That's interesting, when I was trying to get LLMs to predict the league, Claude thought we would finish 20th, which seemed unfairly harsh. I wonder what they've picked up on to come to that conclusion, that's not my gut feeling at all.

He's a very knowledgable and respected EFL journalist and whilst I couldn't care less where someone ranks us, the write up seems very much based on how we played last season and hasn't taken into account the clear change of style that seems to have been implemented.

He may still be right of course.

We aren't world beaters, but I think he's underestimated the amount of dross at the bottom of this league.

I had a look and he had Luton down as winning the league last season: https://www.freebets.com/news/gab-sutto ... s-2025-26/
