Sheffield Wednesday entered the play-off spots last weekend after their impressive win at Bristol City.

Lucas Joao netted two goals in two minutes to put the Owls into a two-goal lead just after the hour mark, and his side held on despite a late attempt from Bristol City.

Jos Luhukay’s men entered the season somewhat as an unknown quantity, after a disappointing season last time out.

Wednesday were poor in the last campaign, but so far this season, they have looked extremely impressive both in and out of possession.

The flexible formation allows Wednesday to adjust for different transitions in play, and this is really complementing their style.

Despite only winning five games, the draws at tricky oppositions have separated Luhukay’s side from the rest of the chasing pack so far.

Whether a promotion push is realistic or not, Luhukay will feel his side have enough in the tank to do so.

Here at FLW, we take a look at the THREE best players for Wednesday so far, statistically speaking…

Lucas Joao has netted five goals so far this season, including his double against Bristol City last weekend. That is the best rate so far this season at Wednesday, in terms of goals.

The Portuguese international is really stepping up his game as he matures into the peak of his career, and his goals will be crucial to a potential promotion push.

Adam Reach has been Sheffield Wednesday’s most creative outlet this season. He is probably most famed for his audacious strikes that seem to go viral every other week, but his all round game is ever improving.

So far, Reach has netted three goals and registered two assists, as he continues to shine either out wide or through the middle.

Barry Bannan is the heartbeat of Wednesday’s side, as he has been for a few seasons now. The Scottish international makes the Owls tick in midfield, as he dictates the tempo alongside Joey Pelupessy in midfield, picking passes and also breaking up play.

Bannan has some impressive stats this season, including a rate of 2.0 key passes per game, which is almost double any other Wednesday player.
