Wigan and Rotherham were promoted automatically from the third tier, while MK Dons, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and Wycombe will compete in the play-offs this month.
Using stats from Whoscored.com, which gathers data from every match, we’ve put together a starting XI based on players’ average ratings.
This only includes players who have played more than 15 league games during the 2021/22 campaign.
Here’s who made the starting XI, with several clubs represented:
9. ST: Sam Vokes (Wycombe) - Average rating: 7.50
Wycombe managed to sign the Welsh international from Stoke in the summer and Vokes has regularly led the line for Gareth Ainsworth's side this season. The 32-year-old has scored 16 League One goals and provided five assists in 43 appearances this term. Photo: Getty Images
10. ST: Michael Smith (Rotherham) - Average rating: 7.36
Smith's goals may have dried up a bit towards the end of the campaign, yet the 30-year-old frontman still finished as Rotherham's top scorer after scoring 18 times in League One. Smith was nominated for the League One Player of the Season and helped the Millers win automatic promotion. Photo: George Wood
11. ST: Ross Stewart (Sunderland) - Average rating: 7.41
Following Charlie Wyke's departure at the start of the season, Stewart, 25, has stepped up to become Sunderland's main striker. The Scot finished with 24 League One goals after starting every league game for the Black Cats. Photo: JPI Media
