What happens if Wrexham & Wycombe finish level on points & goal difference? EFL rules explained as Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney wait on another promotion party

League One

Leyton Orient

Wycombe

Wrexham

Charlton

<p>That remains a possibility in League One, while Charlton Athletic will believe that they are not out of the top-two picture just yet. There are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/talking-about-it-wrexham-havent-banned-p-word-excited-stars-promotion-history-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/bltef8f6b39c710880d" target="_blank">just two more rounds of fixtures to be taken in</a> by teams in the third tier of English football.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>As it stands, Wrexham - who have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-great-motivational-speech-wrexham-squad-win-blackpool-hollywood-co-owner-true-feelings-promotion-bid/blt90536e96cf2bd6a1" target="_blank">welcomed Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to fixtures</a> in recent weeks - occupy second place. If they can cling on to that position, then history will be made when taking a third successive step up the EFL ladder.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Wycombe are, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-premier-league-ryan-reynolds-backed-tom-brady-birmingham-promotion-league-one/blt261979120a1462da" target="_blank">just two points adrift of the Red Dragons</a>. There are a number of scenarios that could play out and see the Red Dragons finish on the same number of points as the Chairboys. They are also level pegging in the goal difference department at present.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>If there was to be no separating the two teams on those fronts come the end of play on May 3, then Reynolds and McElhenney would face an agonising end to the regular season. That is because the EFL handbook states: “If any two or more Clubs have scored the same number of points and have the same goal difference, the higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club having scored the most goals in League Matches in that Season.”</p>

WHAT THE EFL HANDBOOK SAYS

<p>Wrexham (62) are currently seven efforts adrift of Wycombe (69) in the goalscoring stakes. Another twist that needs to be taken into consideration sees the EFL state: “If two or more Clubs have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored the highest placed Club shall be determined by the respective League records against each other, taking into account in order of precedence, points gained, goal difference and goals scored.”</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>In that case, Wrexham would claim second spot having taken six points off Wycombe in the 2024-25 campaign. They are hoping to avoid generating more drama for the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/more-series-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhnney-make-welcome-to-wrexham-as-long-as-they-can-deadpool-actor-more-emotionally-attached-red-dragons-than-marvel-hollywood/bltc2428a5bcd998f4c" target="_blank">club’s award-winning documentary series</a>, with the plan being to secure promotion into the Championship - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tom-brady-backed-beat-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-premier-league-birmingham-championship-wrexham-consolidation-promoted-league-one/bltafe4c07d41fa3de5" target="_blank">moving a step closer to the Premier League</a> - with the minimum of fuss.</p>
