Wednesday yet again get the season off to a bad start, losing the opening five matches and going bottom of the League.  They improve and after beating Sheffield United on Boxing Day they go 8th, but win just two of the last nine matches and finish in 11th.  Somewhat surprisingly they win the Subsidiary Competition, losing just one match and beating Sheffield United in both matches including a terrific record 5-0 win at Bramall Lane.

Once again Leeds City win the League, but we now know that they were paying their players, strictly against the rules of the Competition.  Following the conclusion of the war the club was accused of financial irregularities, including breaking the ban on paying players during the war.  That led to the club being expelled from The Football League eight games into the 1919–20 season and the forced dissolution of the club, which led to the formation of Leeds United shortly after.

Chesterfield Town (as they were known) were also subject to an FA inquiry after the previous season with club officials being suspended from football management and the club shut down.  This is why the League had just fifteen teams this season, although non-League Gainsborough Trinity took their place in the Subsidiary Competition, but failed to win a match.

Note!  Goalkeeper S. Peach actually plays one of his matches at wing-half, so he only made one appearance as goalkeeper.
