. GK: Josh Vickers (Rotherham) - Average rating: 7.10
The 26-year-old wasn't even Rotherham's first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the season but has won his place off Viktor Johansson. Vickers made 20 league appearances for The Millers before a hand injury ended his season in April. Photo: Getty Images
. CB: Ryan Tafazolli (Wycombe) - Average rating: 7.28
At 6 ft 5, the Wycombe centre-back, 30, is a towering figure who has made 33 appearances in the Chairboys' backline this season. Tafazolli is an asset in both boxes and has also contributed with four League One goals this term. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
