Check out more of FourFourTwo’s predicted National League table for 2022/23 below…
16) GATESHEAD
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted the Heed Army to finish in 16th place for the 2022/23 campaign.
FFT VERDICT: The Heed secured promotion with an impressive title win, but enthusiasm has been dampened by the exits of key goalscoring pair Cedwyn Scott and Macaulay Langstaff to Notts County.
Replacements come in former Newcastle forward Tom Allan and the exciting Lewis Knight, but just staying in the division would be a success for the North East club this season.
15) ALTRINCHAM
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted Alty to finish in 15th place for the 2022/23 campaign.
FFT VERDICT: A historic season lies in wait for one of non-league’s most famous names, as Alty go full-time for the first time.
The extremely talented Phil Parkinson (no, the other one) has honoured the occasion by making some shrewd moves in the transfer market, with Jordan Hulme returning and Jake Cooper joining permanently. Professional status should benefit Parkinson’s squad – although that hasn’t always proven to be the case in non-league’s top tier.
14) SCUNTHORPE
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted the Iron to finish in 14th place for the 2022/23 campaign.
FFT VERDICT: The experienced Keith Hill is tasked with helping Scunny to cope with the rigours of their new life in the fifth tier, after 72 years as a Football League club.
The Iron released a host of players following a dismal showing in League Two, allowing Hill to put his stamp on the squad, but on the back of just four victories in 2021-22, all of the momentum is against them.
13) OLDHAM
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted the Latics to finish in 13th place for the 2022/23 campaign.
FFT VERDICT: After his latest Shezzarection attempt failed, former Republic of Ireland international John Sheridan – in his fourth spell as manager – must ignore persistent off-field issues with Oldham, difficult as that is.
He’s opting for experience, signing defender Liam Hogan and 38-year-old striker Chris Porter, who played for the Latics in League One 17 years ago.
It’s essential that Sheridan ensures the fans’ understandable ire towards owner Abdallah Lemsagam doesn’t impact on his team’s performance; a tough year awaits.
12) WOKING
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted the Cardinals to finish in 13th place for the 2022/23 campaign.
FFT VERDICT: Another side that ended last season just below the top half, Woking have overhauled their squad with some eye-catching additions.
Stevenage duo James Daly and Scott Cuthbert will add quality, and Reece Grego-Cox returns with a point to prove, but it’s the signing of Newport striker Padraig Amond that has really captured the imagination.
Will he have the service to propel them much higher, though?
11) YEOVIL
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted the Glovers to finish in 11th place for the 2022/23 campaign.
FFT VERDICT: A mid-table finish offered relatively little in the way of inspiration, and a low-key start to this summer for new manager Chris Hargreaves suggests not much will change in terms of personnel.
Selling Huish Park to the council and then leasing it back has given the Glovers some financial breathing room, however.
10) TORQUAY
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted the Gulls to finish in 10th place for the 2022/23 campaign.
FFT VERDICT: The Gulls failed to recover from their 2021 Play-off Final shootout heartache, labouring to an 11th-place finish last season.
Six players were released as wily Gary Johnson turned ruthless; what will sting, though, is seeing Football League clubs poach Armani Little (who moved to Forest Green), Joe Lewis and Connor Lemonheigh-Evans (both Stockport).
The gaps in the squad need filling if Torquay are to force themselves back into the play-off reckoning; loaning midfielder Kieron Evans from Cardiff is a start.
9) HALIFAX
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted the Shaymen to finish in 9th place for the 2022/23 campaign.
FFT VERDICT: After finishing fourth, the Shaymen lost highly-rated manager Pete Wild to Barrow in League Two.
Chris Millington, charged with building on Wild’s impressive work, has signed Gateshead midfielder Jack Hunter and Eastleigh’s Smart for his own play-off bid.
