yotei, subtle future meaning

Hi,

I recently came across the /yotei/ word such in the following phrase:

Larryさんは「soccer match!!」に参加する予定です。

If I am not mistaken it should read:

Larry-san wa "soccer match!!" ni sanka suru yotei desu.

where 予定 means /planning to/

Since there's no really a future way for Japanese verbs, is this a good way to add a subtle future meaning in my sentences?? like it was a "...is going to..."

thanks

Also, what if I said:

...ni sanka suru yotei desh ??

thanks

Why would you say でしゅ？ That sounds like a lisp in japanese.

and yes it translates to "Larry is planning to participate in a soccer match."
