How Wigan Athletic, Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland fare in the shock League One alternative table
Here is how the League One table would look if only English players goals counted.
Wigan Athletic currently sit top of the league after 16 games of the 2021/22 League One Campaign – with an impressive 11 wins, one draw and four losses.
Stockport-born Will Keane is currently the Latics’ top scorer in the league with seven goals in 16 matches, while Liverpudlian forward Callum Lang has five.
