Four Four Two have released their annual list of the top 50 players in the English Football League and six Irish players have made the cut.
Three of the players, Daryl Murphy, Harry Arter and Keiren Westwood, were part of Martin O'Neill's Ireland squad for the game against Poland.
6. Daryl Murphy (Ipswich)
The Waterford man is the Championship's top scorer this season with 23. The 32-year-old has been a key part of Mick McCarthy's push for promotion to the Premier League. They currently occupy sixth place in English football's second tier.

19. Harry Arter (Bournemouth)
25-year-old Arter (that's him at the top of the page) has been capped at underage level by Ireland. The recent European Championship qualifier against Poland saw his first call up to the Irish senior squad.
It's easy to see why when he's scoring goals like this for Championship table toppers Bournemeouth.

Westwood is the highest ranked goalkeeper on the list. The 30-year-old joined Sheffield Wednesday last summer after three seasons with Sunderland. He has 16 caps for Ireland.

36. Eoin Doyle (Cardiff City)
Following a sensational start to the season for Chesterfield, scoring 25 goals, Dubliner Doyle joined Cardiff during the recent transfer window. The fee was thought to be around €1.25m.
