Top 10 players in the Championship so far this season

Tom Cairney – Fulham

Handed the armband in the absence of veteran Scott Parker, Fulham obviously realise they have a real talent at their disposal.

The 25-year-old box-to-box midfielder likes to get on the ball and get forward as much as possible. He has a keen eye for goal and is dangerous at set pieces also, making him a pivotal player for the Cottagers.

Wouldn’t be surprised if some bigger teams come sniffing.
