Next-Season Outlook

No 2026/27 fixtures are published yet — so this projects the likely programme from this season's divisions, suggests who plays in which team, and predicts each match. A planning sketch, not fact.

Suggested squad by division

Only players with 3+ league games this season make the main lineups, ordered by ECF grade and filled top board down. A strong grade with no recent games doesn't earn a board. The figure after each name is the ECF grade, followed by league games played this season; lower boards left over are filled from the reserve pool on the night.

Projected fixtures & predictions

Assumes next season's divisions mirror this season's (before promotions and relegations). Predicted scores use our suggested team against each opponent's likely line-up — the players from that team we've faced — with the same Elo maths as the live planner.
