The likes of Sheffield United, Sunderland and Leeds United all have some of the highest-rated players in the Championship this season, while one QPR man has also made the list.

With the final international break of the season now upon us, we are getting a very clear idea of where most teams will finish the 2024/25 Championship campaign.

The automatic promotion spots are set to be taken up by two of Sheffield United, Leeds United and Burnley.

Meanwhile, after a very bright star, Sunderland have fallen away and will likely have to settle for a spot in the play-offs.

QPR, Leeds United and Norwich City stars among highest-rated Championship players

This means the Rs are seven points above the relegation zone and 12 adrift of the play-off places.

Despite having such an average campaign, however, one QPR player is currently among the highest-rated players in the Championship.

The man in question is Jimmy Dunne who, despite playing as a centre-back and right-back, has scored five and assisted two in 37 matches this term.

Currently, the 27-year-old has an average rating of 7.18 in the Championship this season according to WhoScored, making him the third-highest-rated star in the second tier behind only Borja Sainz and Junior Firpo.

QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County players are lowest-rated in Championship

Despite having the third-best player in the division according to rating, QPR also have one of the lowest-rated stars in the Championship in 2024/25.

Foward Alfie Lloyd has been given a 6.13 rating by WhoScored, seeing him make an unwanted top-10 list alongside a number of struggling sides.

While Sheffield Wednesday have improved a great deal under Danny Rohl compared to last season, they have two of the worst-rated players in the Championship.

Coventry City, who are now competing inside the top-six, are the most surprising club to feature in WhoScored’s list.
