Or whatever they have rebranded it.
Championship
Really struggling to see past Newcastle United for the title. Bought well already, and will have a fair bit of spending money compared to the rest. A lot of decent young players haven't left either.
Norwich City also look to have kept a good core, and I think they will be hard to beat to the second place.
The play-offs will no doubt involve Derby County again. But I am going for Cardiff City to get the third promotion place. Expecting Wolves and Birmingham to make up the top 6.
League 1
Going for Coventry City for this one. Just missed out on the play-offs last season, and will need to replace Adam Armstrong.
Walsall should be thereabouts as well. Can see them getting automatic promotion this time after missing out by a point last season.
Play-offs I think will be Millwall, with Oxford, Bradford and Charlton missing out.
League 2
Time for Portsmouth to come up? Think so, along with Leyton Orient and Luton Town. The play-off choice is Plymouth Argyle ahead of Doncaster, Cambridge United and Exeter City.
What do others think?
Peoples predictions for the EFL 72.

Agree with Newcastle as hot favourites.
Won it well last two years at that level and have too many good players and a good manager.
Agree Norwich should be there or thereabouts.
Brentford finished last season like a train under Dean Smith who had Walsall flying too before that. He looks like he has the magic touch so I could see them figuring in the top 6, and I fancy QPR to do a lot better now Jimmy Floyd has shipped a lot of players out.
League 1 looks open again for me.
Walsall have lost a lot of the team that did so well last season so although they have invested I think they might take some time to recover.
MK Dons look the most secure of the relegated sides, they have continuity and I could see them doing well again, they were rarely away from the top 6 previously at this level.
I think both Northampton and Oxford have the potential to 'do a Burton' and get double promotions. The gap between Leagues 1 and 2 isn't big and they are good sized clubs that have invested, though Oxford do have to cope with the loss of Roofe.
I agree Millwall should be up there again and Bradford seem to always be in the top 8 under Phil Parkinson.
In League 2 I reckon Plymouth and Portsmouth will both be in the mix along with Orient. Darren Ferguson has came up from this division before so should be in with a decent chance with Doncaster. Cambridge improved a lot under Shaun Derry and should be making the play-offs at least.
