Potential EFL divisions for 2020/21

How would the potential EFL divisions look for the 2020/21 season? Stoke Sentinel have worked it out based on average points.

There have been many options put forward on how England’s top six tiers can be resolved.

Teams level on average points per game would then be decided by average goal difference to resolve the issue where clubs have not all played the same number of matches up until the league was suspended.

Teams could be promotion but not relegated, then their would be mass relegations in the 2020/21 season to bring divisions back to their usual numbers of teams.

If there is no chance to finish the current campaign and play the playoffs, one suggestion is that the teams in third on average points in the Championship and League One would get the nod to go up – and likewise the team in fourth in League Two.

So, here’s how the divisions could be made up with no relegation and tables decided on merit. Take a look below…
