Norwich City's Marco Stiepermann is the most in-form Championship player going into the final weekend before the play-offs, according to the Sky Sports Power Rankings.
The German scored his third goal in six games in a 2-1 win over Blackburn, with team-mate Mario Vrancic (No 8) also finding the back of the net - sealing the Canaries' promotion to the Premier League.
Swansea City's play-off hopes were extinguished with a 2-2 draw against Hull, with striker Oliver McBurnie (No 2) scoring both goals - having netted a double in a 4-3 victory over Rotherham one week earlier.
Sheffield United also secured automatic promotion after a 2-0 win against relegated Ipswich, with Enda Stevens (No 4) and David McGoldrick (No 6) retaining top-10 standings.
Birmingham's Lukas Jutkiewicz (No 3) virtually guaranteed his status as this season's Power Rankings champion after scoring within two minutes in a 1-1 draw against Wigan - extending his commanding lead in the season chart.
Derby right-back Jayden Bogle (No 7) capped his fine run of form with a goal during a 2-0 victory at Bristol City - having previously recorded an assist in four successive games.
Meanwhile, West Brom forward Dwight Gayle (No 5) and Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish (No 9) suffered minor slips but retained places among the top performers.
