The weekend saw Championship clubs get under way following the big kick-off in League One and Two on the first weekend of August.
Barnsley, Doncaster Rovers and Middlesbrough are afforded two representatives apiece in the XI. And who gets the managers' nod?
Here's the side in a 5-4-1 formation.
Goalkeeper
Pierce Charles (Sheffield Wednesday)
Showed why he is earning a stack of admirers with an outstanding display at Leicester as troubled Wednesday showed real character - on the pitch and in the stands.
Defence
Charlie Hughes (Hull City)
Easy to see why he is on the wanted list of promotion aspirants Coventry City and Sheffield United - and why Hull want to keep him and rate him so highly. Excellent display against the Sky Blues, of all sides.
The peroxide-blond defender has made a striking impression in the early salvos of the season for Town.
Solid at the back and popped up with a key goal at Reading as the Terriers made it two from two.
Curtis Tilt (Bradford City)
Strong performance in his birthday week at Northampton and almost crowned it with a goal.
Dael Fry (Middlesbrough)
Exactly ten years on from his debut for Boro, captain-for-the-day Fry had another noteworthy occasion, scoring the winner and leading by example at the back.
Alfie Jones (Middlesbrough)
Unflappable performance on his Boro bow and showed all the attributes that won him respect at Hull.
Midfield
Owen Bailey (Doncaster Rovers)
Rovers' captain fantastic popped up all over the place and showed predatory instincts with both goals at Mansfield.
Adam Phillips (Barnsley)
Has rediscovered his mojo and continued his impressive start to the season with two assists as Barnsley staged a stirring rally against Burton.
Luke Molyneux (Doncaster Rovers)
Rovers go-to man registered two assists and is a player whom you simply cannot keep quiet.
Reece Smith (Harrogate Town)
Scored a cracking maiden league in a thriller against Grimsby and caught the eye.
Forward
David McGoldrick (Barnsley)
First, the bad news, conceded an early penalty.
After that, his desire to atone was self-evident. Showed leadership in the Reds' rousing rally and fired a dramatic late winner.
Manager/head coach: Lee Grant (Huddersfield Town)
