What moved
Measured against 2026-09-23, the last update whose numbers changed —
not against the last time the page was built, because an unchanged projection is carried
forward rather than restamped. 22 clubs moved in all; the rest are in the projection below.
- Barnsley — bottom-three risk down 0.5, to 11%.
- Doncaster — chance of finishing top up 0.1, to 0.2%; bottom-three risk up 0.5, to 14.5%.
- Milton Keynes Dons — bottom-three risk down 0.5, to 38.7%.
- Wigan — bottom-three risk up 0.4, to 49.1%.
- AFC Wimbledon — chance of finishing top down 0.1, to 0.5%; bottom-three risk up 0.3, to 4.7%.
Season projection
Every one of the 469 matches this phase has left,
played out 10,000 times by the same model that makes our match predictions — but rating each
side on its whole season rather than its last six games, since one hot run should not decide a
title race. The figures are final positions, not qualification or relegation: those
depend on each country's rules and playoffs. A statistical estimate, not betting advice. These figures cover the regular season only. The regular season is not the end of the competition: Semi-finals, Final follow it, and no projection here covers them. Movement is measured against 2026-09-23, the last update whose numbers changed.
