I predict that anyone getting their predictions right will post up their winning slips, the 80% who don't get it right we will never hear from again on this thread...

Championship: Fulham/Middlesbrough. Suspect Villa might finish top 6. I might tip Bristol City to get relegated.
League One: Portsmouth/Charlton. Bury (as someone else pointed out) could be a threat this year. Wigan to be top 6. Blackburn to struggle similar to us last season.
League Two: Mansfield. Notts County are a decent shout. Swindon top 6.
Don't get the love in for Villa making them Championship favs. They were garbage last year, and an aging John Terry won't fix that. Have bought some decent players but this league is going to be savagely competitive this year. Newcastle were much stronger and won the league in the last minute!
Only bets I've had so far are Fulham at 10/1. Shot ratio last year was third behind Brighton and Newcastle, and clear of the rest. Held onto best players and should go well again I think.
Blackburn at 11/2 could absolutely smash our league. Was on them to go down last year and they ended up being desperately unlucky. Players like Whittingham and Dack should improve them and division looks weak this year to me.
I want to back Reading to go down, but want bigger than 16/1 currently out there. Their shot stats last year should've seen them at the other end of table and with the league looking stronger this year I think they could regress. Want to find angle to be against them but not found it yet!
League 2 revolves around how successful Mansfield's recruitment pays off! Could be cut above everyone but price now reflects that. Think Lincoln could go well but 12/1 about the right price tbh
Promoted teams get relegated 45% of the time. So, just going off that alone they should be 6/5, 5/4 ish
Can make the case they are too short but 15/1 means you think they have a 6.25% chance of going down?! Don't think their signings are that great and fully expect them to fair worse of the promoted sides.
Hey. I'm no betting man but I've spotted a serious opportunity for you all. Huddersfield are ODDS-ON to go down. I shit you not. ODDS-ON.
Put the fucking house on them to stay up.
What price would you make them to go down then?
I think they'll finish 13th or 14th tbh
I'd say....15/1. I think it's completely mispriced. They're making some amazing signings and they have a proper manager
15/1 would be crazy odds for the play off winners to go straight back down. Only the big 7 clubs plus Southampton are longer odds than that!
Who are their amazing signings anyway? I know they signed Mooy permanently and also Tom Ince but not sure who else they've got. Agree that their manager is decent though.
I think a lot will depend on their home form. They'll probably need to do a Burnley to stay up, as i can't see them getting into double figures of away points.
I told you I wasn't into betting! Fine, they'd be 5/1 then. It's all arbitrary
They've signed Mounie (scored LOADS in Ligue 1 last season), a Belgian international forward, one of Denmark's first-choice defenders and Scott Malone, who's very decent, along with Ince, Mooy etc. They're building a very decent squad indeed.

Just googled him. Loads? He scored 14! In a worse league. Be lucky to get double figures over here. Foreign guys will be hit n miss, none have ever played here so you don't know how they'll adjust.

I'll have a few quid with you on them to go down if you're offering odds of 15/1.
