Whoscored.com, who among other functions take into account a number of metrics to offer a performance rating out of 10, show just how average Wednesday have been across the course of the season, with no Owls figure to have played more than 180 minutes so far this season achieving a score of seven or more.
Indeed, the ratings suggest Chey Dunkley and Sam Hutchinson are ranked as the club’s foremost performers in League One so far, with both achieving a 6.98 score.
A quirk in the statistics show that when it comes to optimum side that could be chosen for the 4-2-3-1 formation preferred by Darren Moore of late, Hutchinson misses out having scored lower than his teammates whilst playing in that system.
Let’s take a look at who Whoscored.com have placed in which positions based on form this season.

5. CB - Chey Dunkley
The highest-ranked Wednesday player across the entire season, Dunkley has by far the highest rating when playing in a 4-2-3-1. In and out of the team this season, it may well be that he is building a case for further involvement despite the impending return of Lewis Gibson. WS Rating 7.1. Photo: Steve Ellis
6. LB - Marvin Johnson
Perhaps a surprise selection to some, Marvin Johnson has proven to be the highest ranking left-back when playing in a 4-2-3-1 system. He has had an up-and-down time at Wednesday so far but is ranked higher than Liam Palmer in that role. WS Ranking: 6.7. Photo: Steve Ellis
7. CM - Dennis Adeniran
Already a fan favourite at Wednesday, Dennis Adeniran has provided two goals this season so far and has done OK operating in the middle of Moore's favoured system. WS Rating: 6.7. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. CM - Lewis Wing
Though he has yet to record a league goal or assist, Wing netted in Tuesday's EFL Trophy win over Mansfield and has caught the eye with his technical ability in matches so far. WS Rating: 6.6. Photo: Steve Ellis
