WhoScored.com, who are the statistical company used to decide all of the EFL’s Teams of the Week, give each player in the division a mark based on their performances so far, and Bannan is – at present – among the highest-rated in the entire league.
Only four players who have played more than the average amount of games have got a higher rating than the Owls skipper (7.4), and his key passes average of 3.1 per game isn’t bettered by anybody else in the division. Meanwhile, just two players have won WhoScored Man of the Match awards than he has (2).
Here’s WhoScored’s Team of the Season so far:
Max Stryjek - 7.1
Shaun Rooney - 7.2
Caleb Taylor - 7.2
Alfie Mawson - 7.2
Connor Ogilvie - 7.4

Lee Evans - 7.5
Barry Bannan - 7.4
Aaron Collins - 7.3
Jonson Clarke-Harris - 7.5
Jevani Brown - 7.6

Hide AdBannan has five goals and assists after 10 games played – more than double his tally at this stage last season – and he’ll be eager to continue to show his quality as he takes aim at a serious promotion push with the Owls in 2022/23.
The Scot was named in the official Team of the Season last time out, and if he can keep hitting those levels this time out then Wednesday will have a real shot at getting back into the Championship.
