The popular Season Handicap market has been released ahead of the 2024/25 League Two campaign.
For those unfamiliar with this market, each team in the league is assigned a points total which essentially acts as a head start before the season gets underway.
At the end of the season, each team's handicap is added to their overall points total, and whoever ends up on the most points wins.
See last season's final table as an example:
Team | Handicap | Points | Total |
Crawley Town | +28 | 70 | 98 |
Mansfield | +12 | 86 | 98 |
Stockport | +6 | 92 | 98 |
Crewe | +25 | 71 | 96 |
Harrogate Town | +30 | 63 | 93 |
Barrow | +23 | 69 | 92 |
MK Dons | +12 | 78 | 90 |
Wrexham | +0 | 88 | 88 |
AFC Wimbledon | +21 | 65 | 86 |
Doncaster | +14 | 71 | 85 |
Morecambe | +27 | 58 | 85 |
Walsall | +19 | 65 | 84 |
Bradford City | +10 | 69 | 79 |
Accrington Stanley | +19 | 57 | 76 |
Newport County | +21 | 55 | 76 |
