The EFL standouts for the season to come, plus some tasty transfer talk
What a beautiful day today is. The EFL is back with a bang, starting with a couple of Championship games tonight then a stacked slate of games over the weekend and into Monday.
This day always gets me genuinely excited: it feels like the official start of the new season, a wonderful starter before the main meals arrive.
But the EFL is one of those starters that you’d love to have as a main. It’s the calamari with aïoli of football. It’s the no-brainer, it’s the banker, it’s the one that couldn’t fail, it’s the one that’s never failed. You tuck in, it’s delicious.
That’s why we’re devoting this issue of SCOUT NOTES to the EFL, and in particular the Championship. After our success of picking out Alex Scott and Adam Wharton as the ones to watch in the past two seasons, we’ll highlight a few more youngsters that we think could have impressive campaigns.
Then we’ll mention some transfer stuff for the sickos out there that love it.
Before we go on, it would be remiss of us not to devote a paragraph or two to Not The Top 20, kings of EFL coverage and long-time friends of SCOUTED.
We suggest (read: demand) that you listen to their 1-24s season previews, a triumph of research and knowledge, and subscribe to their Substack for the best insights into the English Football League you’ll get anywhere. The best.
