Read part one of our top Championship players preview here.
So, here is part two of our deep dive into the best players at each championship club.
Millwall – Jed Wallace
Midfielder, aged 26
Millwall put together a very strong campaign last season, pushing on from an initial relegation scrap to finishing just outside of the top six.
Wallace was at the heart of that success, posing a constant threat to defences with his strong running, superb delivery and eye for goal.
In 43 games Wallace bagged 10 goals and 13 assists to go along with his superb work rate.
Norwich City – Todd Cantwell
Midfielder, aged 22
The England under 21 international will be in high demand in the coming weeks, however if The Canaries can hold onto their star man then their chances of a first time return to the Premier League will be much improved.
In 37 top flight games the cultured midfield notched six goals and two assists.
Norwich will be looking to Cantwell to show his class in the Championship if they can rebuff advances from some big-name sides.
Nottingham Forest – Joe Lolley
Midfielder, aged 28
Following a heart-breaking final day collapse, Forest missed out narrowly on the playoffs. However with main men like Joe Lolley, the historic club will be confident of finishing the job this year.
Flying winger Lolley is a constant goal threat for Forest. The diminutive forward bagged nine goals and eight assists in 42 league outings last season.
Preston North End – Daniel Johnson
Midfielder, aged 27
With more than 200 appearances for the men from Deepdale, Johnson is fast becoming a Preston legend.
The tricky winger scored 12 league goals in 33 games adding a respectable seven assists to his tally.
Signed for a reported £50,000 fee in 2015 Aston Villa, Johnson is one of the best Championship bargain buys of the last decade.
Queens Park Rangers – Bright Osayi-Samuel
Midfielder, aged 22
Following Ebere Eze’s £17 million move to Crystal Pala, pacey winger Osayi-Samuel takes the over the mantle as QPR’s best player.
The 22-year-old came second in the player of the year vote last season and will be looking to kick on and establish himself as the club’s main man.
To do so Osayi-Samuel will have to improve on his tally of five goals and eight assists, but it is clear to see the young man has more than enough ability to do so.
Reading – George Puscas
Forward, aged 24
The Romanian namesake of Real Madrid and Hungary legend Ferenc Puskas, George has big boots to fill.
But full them he did in his first season with The Royals. Twelve goals and three assists in 38 league – a strong return and his best in a single season for the man who signed from Palermo.
Rotherham – Michael Ihiekwe
Defender, aged 27
Centre back Ihiekwe was imperious for Rotherham last season, helping the club achieve an immediate return to the championship.
Signed from Tranmere in 2017, the Liverpool-born defender has now made 79 appearances for The Millers.
Soke City – James McClean
Midfielder, aged 31
The experienced Irishman put together another solid season in a campaign which saw Stoke struggle but ultimately avoid relegation.
With seven goals and seven assists in 36 games, McClean was one of The Potters bright sparks.
And the club will be looking to their main man, who has played over 100 Premier League games, to lead them in the coming season.
Swansea City – Andre Ayew
Forward, aged 30
Ghanaian international Ayew is a top quality goal scorer at this level.
The experienced striker bagged 16 league goals and seven assists in 46 games last season.
The former Marseille and West Ham United man will be pivotal to The Swans big to earn promotion this season.
Watford – Ismaila Sarr
Forward, aged 22
With English champions Liverpool rumoured to be ready to meet The Hornet’s £40 million valuation, Sarr may not be at Vicarage Road much longer.
However, as things stand, the Senagalese international, who bagged five Premier League goals and four assists last year, is Watford’s stand out talent.
Signed from Renne for a fee reported to be about £30 million, the wiry energetic winger was a revelation last season, despite the disappointing relegation to the championship.
New boss Ivic will be hoping he can hold onto the star man to boost the club’s chances at winning promotion.
Wycombe Wanderers – Fred Onyedinma
Forward, aged 23
League One’s surprise package last season, Wycombe exceeded all expectation in winning promotion to the Championship.
Onyedinma provided The Chairboys with attacking intent down the wing, chipping in with a solid six goals and one assist.
Sheffield Wednesday – Dominic Iorfa
Defender, aged 24
Docked 12 points for breaking spending rules, The Owls are up against it from the off and must improve massively on las year’s performance if they want to stay in the division.
Key to their hopes will be right-back Dominic Iorfa, signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2018.
The ever dependable right back scored two goals and notched two assists in a year where a named for himself off the back of his defensive prowess.
