It's been a very tough start to the season for Sheffield Wednesday so far, but with green shoots of progress on show there is room for hope.
The Owls have looked better since Danny Röhl's arrival at the club, and while results haven't really improved - aside from that first win - many fans have been a least a little buoyed by what they've seen.
With that positivity in mind, we decided to look at who has ranked highest on statistics website, WhoScored, so far, and while some names on the list won't surprise you, there may be a couple that do.
The average ranking takes into account a number of different factors, and we've put together a list that includes every player that has featured in more than one Championship fixture over the course of 2023/24.
Famewo may have spent a fair chunk of this season out of position, but he's racked up some good numbers for the Owls. No player in the side has averaged more interceptions per game than he has (2.1), and is also third on the list of players with the most successful dribbles (10). Only three players have completed more tackles (20), too. | UGC / Steve Ellis
Considered by many to be the best signing of the summer, the numbers seem to back up that claim. Not only does he have the highest average rating this season, but he’s also made the most tackles (24), averages the joint third most clearances (3.3) and only two others have attempted more passes than he has. | Ellis / UGC
