Pulled together by online sportsbook BetVictor, each supporter of clubs around the country was asked to deliver their predicted one-to-24 table, with an average prediction for each club calculated and placed in a final line-up of which clubs will be promoted, which will be challenging and which will be relegated.
Two of Wednesday’s Yorkshire rivals are pitted as promotion winners and relegation candidates and there is a prediction of where the Owls will finish themselves as they continue to build under new boss Xisco.
There’s lots of time for things to change before the transfer window closes of course and there’ll no doubt be huge surprises along the way.
But here the wisdom of crowds has taken a stab at how the division will look in May.
9. Sunderland
With a been-there-done-it manager in Tony Mowbray, Sunderland provided a blueprint for Wednesday and the other promoted teams last season by achieving a play-off spot. They missed out on a place at Wembley and have lost an immense talent in Amad Diallo, but will fancy a go at repeating their top six trick. | Frank Reid
10. Stoke City
Alex Neil shocked a few by jumping ship to Stoke last season, where he stepped into a huge transition job. That work has continued this summer, both with ins and outs, with 10 new additions and counting. Photo: Nathan Stirk/Getty Images
11. Blackburn Rovers
Missed out on a play-off berth in 2022/23 only on goal difference. It’s been a funny summer for ROvers, who have seen main man Ben Brereton-Diaz move on. But in Jon-Dahl Tomasson they have a talented manager and a decent squad to work with. Photo: Naomi Baker
12. Coventry City
One of the real success stories of the last campaign, Coventry missed out on Wembley with penalty defeat against Luton Town. Mark Robins, a former Owls player, is among the most highly-rated managers outside the top flight and the Sky Blues will want to have another roll at promotion. Photo: Richard Heathcote/Getty Images
