Kasper Schmeichel - Leeds United
Danish shot-stopper Schmeichel looks set to follow in the footsteps of his famous father (former 'keeper Peter), with an impressive debut for new employers Leeds against Derby seeing him pull off a string of fine saves.
Ryan Cresswell - Rotherham United
Cresswell proved to be an unlikely hero for Rotherham over the weekend, as he pounced two minutes from time to snatch a 2-1 victory over Lincoln City and hand the much-fancied Millers a perfect start.
Darren Ward - Millwall
Kenny Jackett brought Ward back to The Den this summer on a permanent deal and was handed an immediate return on his investment as the commanding centre-half found the target in Millwall's shock 3-0 victory over Bristol City
Rob Jones - Scunthorpe United
Another defender to find the target in the opening round of fixtures, Scunthorpe's Jones helped the Iron make a mockery of the pre-season doom-mongers as they saw off Reading 2-1 at the Madejski Stadium.
Lee Collins - Port Vale
Port Vale would probably have settled for a point ahead of their trip to Bury, but left Gigg Lane with all three courtesy of a rare goal from promising defender Collins, who found the target shortly after the hour mark.
Anthony Pilkington - Huddersfield Town
Much is expected of Huddersfield this season and they put down a marker on Saturday as they eased past newly-promoted Notts County 3-0, with wing wizard Pilkington bagging a brace at Meadow Lane.
Darren Ambrose - Crystal Palace
Palace fans must have feared they had seen the last of Ambrose when he became embroiled in a long-running transfer saga this summer. However, having penned a new contract at Selhurst Park, he was back on the goal trail in a 3-2 victory over Leicester.
Adel Taarabt - Queens Park Rangers
Having made his loan move at QPR permanent over the summer, Taarabt hit the ground running on Saturday as he led from the front in a 4-0 demolition of Barnsley - including converting a 63rd-minute penalty.
Matt Sparrow - Brighton & Hove Albion
Sparrow instantly endeared himself to the Brighton faithful on his competitive debut for the club, with a well-taken brace in a 2-1 victory away at Swindon seeing the Seagulls to three points on the opening day.
Jake Robinson - Shrewsbury Town
The star of the show this weekend, Shrewsbury's Robinson ran Bradford ragged on Saturday as he bagged an opening day hat-trick. He is now just one goal short of equalling his return for the entire 2009/10 campaign.
Danny Graham - Watford
Watford have been tipped by many to endure a difficult time in the Championship but if their flying start at Norwich is anything to go by, they should have nothing to worry about. A 3-2 win at Carrow Road in the first fixture of the new season was inspired by a deadly double from Graham.
