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.
13. Swansea City
Led by a manager in Michael Duff that Wednesday fans will know plenty about after their triple-header wrestle with Barnsley last season, Swansea are a team in transition - like a few others - and have brought in some bright talents. Is it too soon to form a genuine promotion push? Photo: Richard Heathcote
14. Millwall
With a squad and manager with plenty of experience at this level, Millwall will fancy improving on their eighth-place turn last season. The fans seem to have less confidence on that front and have them placed 14th. Photo: Alex Davidson/Getty Images
15. Hull City
Players have come and players have gone, but Hull are building under Liam Rosenior who has done some good work. A 15th place repeat of their efforts last season is what the survey has returned. Photo: Contributed
16. Sheffield Wednesday
There won’t be many clubs at this level who are still building their plans right now than Wednesday, who have shifted towards a new style under Xisco Munoz. There is plenty of work to be done in the transfer market and on the training field and many would at this stage settle for a season of safety. As ever, they will have designs on something more ambitious. And why not? Photo: Catherine Ivill
