Check out more of FourFourTwo’s predicted League Two table for 2024/25 below…
16) FLEETWOOD
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted them to finish in 16th place for the 2024/25 campaign.
24/25 FFT VERDICT: Charlie Adam is building a bright, vibrant side on the pitch, but could be hindered by matters off it after owner Andy Pilley was jailed for fraud last summer. He has subsequently been replaced this year by son Jamie, but the situation doesn’t scream stability…
The FourFourTwo magazine predicted the club to finish in 17th place for the 2023/24 League One campaign – instead they finished 22nd.
23/24 FFT VERDICT: Owner Pilley’s legal battles have hindered preparations, but Danny Mayor and Ryan Broom are both eye-catching signings to go with proven performers in Marriott, Josh Earl, and Shaun Rooney. Brendan Wiredu and Cian Hayes should minimalise any potential drop-off.
15) BARROW
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted them to finish in 15th place for the 2024/25 campaign.
24/25 FFT VERDICT: Pete Wild’s Holker Street exit hinders Barrow’s attempt to build on recent playoff pushes, with replacement Stephen Clemence yet to prove his mettle. Connor Mahoney is one of the signings of the summer and will bring the fun to fourth tier flanks.
The FourFourTwo magazine predicted the club to finish in 11th place for the 2023/24 League Two campaign – instead they finished 8th.
23/24 FFT VERDICT: The Bluebirds impressed with their high-octane style last season, but missed out on the League Two play-offs. Now David Worrall has joined to offer extra creativity and Dean Campbell some youthful Scottish brio, they could get stronger under talented boss Pete Wild. The league will likely improve in quality, too, so while Barrow will target the play-offs, another top-half finish would still signal progress.
14) SWINDON
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted them to finish in 14th place for the 2024/25 campaign.
24/25 FFT VERDICT: An optimist says Mark Kennedy is a decent appointment, and recruits Tunmise Sobowale, Rosaire Longelo, Ollie Clarke and Harry Smith offer hope. A pessimist says ownership concerns haven’t been addressed since their lowest ever finish, so we’re saying mid-table.
The FourFourTwo magazine predicted the club to finish in 10th place for the 2023/24 League Two campaign – instead they finished 19th.
23/24 FFT VERDICT: After a youth-centred, director of football-led approach for the first two years of Clem Morfuni’s ownership, Michael Flynn’s appointment at Swindon Town suggests a change of tack. Swindon seek a quick route out of League Two, but may compromise developmental and stylistic principles in pursuit.
13) SALFORD
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted them to finish in 13th place for the 2024/25 campaign.
24/25 FFT VERDICT: With Cole Stockton adding to an appealing attack and Stephan Negru bolstering the defence, Salford should improve. But the squad has needed a lot of work to implement the style Karl Robinson desires, so progress this campaign may only be modest.
The FourFourTwo magazine predicted the club to finish in 6th place for the 2023/24 League Two campaign – instead they finished 20th.
23/24 FFT VERDICT: Despite achieving a top-seven League Two finish at the fourth attempt, Salford City have had to make cutbacks as stalwart Ibou Touray departs, though Luke Garbutt is a decent replacement. Manager Neil Wood must get more out of his resources to oversee another promotion bid, something the Class of ’92 are desperate to happen.
12) TRANMERE
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted them to finish in 12th place for the 2024/25 campaign.
24/25 FFT VERDICT: Rovers have strong foundations to take into 2024-25 based on improvement under Nigel Adkins, and driven defender Cameron Norman’s arrival from MK Dons, but fail to replace star loanee Rob Apter and they might have to settle for another mid-table finish.
The FourFourTwo magazine predicted the club to finish in 16th place for the 2023/24 League Two campaign – and that is where they finished.
23/24 FFT VERDICT: After a disappointing mid-table finish last term, Tranmere Rovers need inspiration. New faces Regan Hendry in midfield, plus poachers Dennis and Luke Norris, may provide it with their promotion-winning know-how, but internally-appointed gaffer Ian Dawes will have to prove himself in League Two before anyone starts singing his praises.
11) WALSALL
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted them to finish in 11th place for the 2024/25 campaign.
24/25 FFT VERDICT: Last season’s low-possession approach may not have matched owner Ben Boycott’s intentions, so stylistic progress is required as much as building on a top half finish. Loanee goalkeeper Tommy Simkin and wing back Connor Barrett will assist on both counts.
The FourFourTwo magazine predicted the club to finish in 18th place for the 2023/24 League Two campaign – instead they finished 11th.
23/24 FFT VERDICT: Walsall fans wanted an exciting appointment after slumping to 16th in League Two with two wins in 23, so the internal appointment of Mat Sadler was surprising. It’s hard to be too positive: Ryan Stirk looks a steady pickup from Birmingham, at least, to accompany Danny Johnson’s return.
10) WIMBLEDON
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted them to finish in 10th place for the 2024/25 campaign.
24/25 FFT VERDICT: Midfielder Callum Maycock could be another smart recruit from transfer chief Craig Cope, so it poacher Matty Stevens stays fit to complement selfless targetman Omar Bugiel, another playoff push is possible. Goalkeeper Alex Bass will take some replacing, though.
The FourFourTwo magazine predicted the club to finish in 17th place for the 2023/24 League Two campaign – instead they finished 10th.
23/24 FFT VERDICT: Returning to their spiritual home was a £32m dream AFC Wimbledon are now handling practical realities of. It’s been tough, yet last term’s squad was capable of higher than 21st in League Two. Early business has been promising, especially Crawley’s James Tilley, but is manager Johnnie Jackson the one?
9) CREWE
The FourFourTwo magazine have predicted them to finish in 9th place for the 2024/25 campaign.
24/25 FFT VERDICT: Gaffer Lee Bell showed admirable adaptability in his first full season, and with smart recruitment, plus talents Zac Williams, Joel Tabiner and Lewis Billington all another year older, the Railwaymen could again challenge. But Luke Offord and Elliott Nevitt are huge losses.
The FourFourTwo magazine predicted the club to finish in 19th place for the 2023/24 League Two campaign – instead they finished 6th.
23/24 FFT VERDICT: Crewe Alexandra stopped the rot in League Two last season, after relegation in 2021/22, but they’ve lost key players including Rod McDonald and Dan Agyei. England Under-20s goalkeeper Harvey Davies could impress on loan, but it’ll be tough to match last year’s levels. Ryan Cooney adds a bit of know-how to the squad at least.
