I believe that what league a team is in affects players’ values. My guess is that most of Wrexham’s player evaluations will be increased by next evaluation.

I collected some data on clubs promoted to L1 over last 10 years.

The average position was 13.8.
Average position of Top 3 promoted is 13, so not a big difference.
So the average position of promoted teams is almost exactly halfway.

If you divide the table into 3:
20.5% finished 1st to 8th
48.7% finished 9th to 16th
30.8% finished 17th to 24th.

So nearly 50% finish mid table.

3/39 finished top 6.
4/39 finished in relegation places.
The odd number 39 comes from Bury.

So the chances of being either promoted or relegated are pretty slim.

The teams that got promoted last year finished 9th, 11th and 14th I think (excluding Carlisle who got relegated). I imagine Wrexham are a bit stronger than them and will strengthen again in the summer so I think top 10 is a realistic goal with possibly a good chance of sneaking into a playoff place.

People are going to have to learn to be patient and we can't be having the parky out mob jumping up and down calling for his head over the next 12 months or so while we're in a rebuilding phase .

For me we should be looking at mid table next season and then push for playoffs / promotion in the next 2 seasons after that .

this summer we need to sign

Arthur ( and Howard as a back up - we won't bring in another top keeper if we sign Arthur & mark does a great job as back up / coach / mentor )

A left Wing back ( Mendy's hamstring can't last more then 3 or 4 games without going - McClean will do a good job in L1 , but we may use him inside more - Fadz will likely go )

A forward / Striker ( Palmer and Mullin should still be our main two , we need someone to take over from Ollie over the next couple of years - that's not Dalby , he should be shipped out - keep Fletch as a 20 min cameo player )

Other than that we will probably sign a CM ( Tunicliffe and Hayden will go , Tozer will hopefully have another year with us and then possibly move into the coaching team )
