The Owls extended their crazy five-month unbeaten run to 21 games on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over Peterborough United, and also kept their 20th clean sheet of the campaign as they won a seventh game in a row at Hillsborough.
Darren Moore’s side have picked up 31 points from the last 33 available, and various different players have stepped up during that time to make sure that Wednesday could leapfrog their opponents and climb to the top of the table.
We had a look through WhoScored’s database for the Owls’ League One campaign so far, and this is how the list of top-rated players look after 33 games played.
WhoScored use statistics to determine performance - and testament to the club’s collective effort this year only one Owl is in the top 20 of average ratings.
