League One team of the season as chosen by club writers - Did any Sunderland AFC players make it in?

Premier League, EFL and National League fixtures are currently suspended until April 30 at the earliest, with that date expected to be pushed back further at a meeting this week as the country battles the pandemic.

With football on hold, we asked football writers covering clubs across the third tier to pick their players of the season so far – with one Sunderland player making the grade.

Chris Maguire was a popular choice among writers, the forward having impressed with his form since the turn of the year contributing both goals and assists.
