So, those are what we - the seven who posted on here, plus Lennie and Mhh who submitted their predictions via PM - should have guessed!
Fifty points in all to play for. The actual results, in reverse order, to follow...

In ninth place, Archie, with 17 correct predictions - and, along with everybody else, a double-figure deficit (of 18 in his case) when it came to the tie-break:
Cardiff, Huddersfield, Rotherham, Barnsley, MK Franchise, Lincoln, Havant, Braintree, Chorley, Woking, Celtic, TNS, Juventus, Bayern, Ajax, PSG, Lyon (Women's CL).

Next up, Duds, who avoided a 'Hall of Shame' entry involving a prediction that play-off winners Villa would go down - but did cop for one after tipping Yeovil for promotion, only for the 'Glovers' to drop out of the League. Eighteen correct predictions in total for Duds, who was also joint-closest on the tie-break with a guess of +28 - and one of only two punters to have successfully backed our own mighty Hatters:
Man City, Cardiff, Huddersfield, Rotherham, Bolton, Ipswich, Plymouth, Lincoln, MK Franchise, Notts County, Braintree, COUNTY, Chorley, Woking, TNS, Juventus, Barcelona, PSG.
Hall of Shame entry: Yeovil to be promoted.

In seventh, Ceefer, with 19 correct predictions - including that of Aldershot's demotion from the National League, which holds true as we go to press, but may very well be rescinded in the coming days! - and a rather whopping 27 out on the tie-break:
Cardiff, Ipswich, Barnsley, Plymouth, Scunthorpe, Lincoln, MK Franchise, Notts County, Aldershot, Havant, Chorley, Celtic, Juventus, Barcelona, Bayern, Ajax, PSG, Man City (Women's FAC), Lyon (Women's CL).
Hall of Shame: Bury to be relegated.

Lennie, as the only predictor to go for Liverpool in the Champions League, sneaks into sixth - after the 'Reds' became his 19th correct guess last night, and courtesy, too, of a superior tie-break estimate (of +24) over Ceefer's:
Man City, Cardiff, Fulham, Huddersfield, Aston Villa, Rotherham, MK Franchise, Braintree, Chorley, Woking, Liverpool (CL), Celtic, TNS, Juventus, Bayern, Ajax, PSG, Perth, Lyon (Women's CL).
Hall of Shame: Luton to be relegated.

Uh oh... Maccy sneaks Gold for the second year running - with his annual, come-what-may tipping of County finally paying off to produce 23 correct predictions and edge out Little Macc by a point (tie-break: 14 away):
Man City, Cardiff, Huddersfield, Sheffield United, Ipswich, Barnsley, Lincoln, MK Franchise, Tranmere, Orient, Havant, Braintree, COUNTY, Chorley, Woking, Celtic, TNS, Juventus, Barcelona, Bayern, PSG, Man City (Women's FAC), Lyon (Women's CL).

All very close scores.
