Many have suggested it and it's official - Fulham are the best footballing side in the Championship.

That's according to WhoScored.Com anyway.

A number of opposition manager have heralded the way Slavisa Jokanovic's team play football this season and statistics experts WhoScored.Com have the numbers to show that the Cottagers are indeed the kings when it comes to the purists.

If you love your team to keep hold of the ball and spray it around the park at will, Whites are for you.

Fulham are top of the shop when it comes to possession in the Championship this season, averaging a whopping 59.1 per cent from their 38 games so far.

Given that they're away to all but relegated Rotherham United on Saturday, that stats will surely only increase by the end of play.

Fulham are a full percentage point ahead of Reading when it comes to possession and average 6.5 per cent more possession than league leaders Newcastle United too.

On the ball: Stefan Johansen and Jonjo Shelvey go for a tackle

The impressive stats do not end there.

Jokanovic's men enjoy an 83.4 per cent passing accuracy, again ahead of Reading, this time by 2.6 per cent.

Fulham are also not averse to doing something with their possession either, as they also have the highest average shots per game ratio at 15.8. Newcastle United and Bristol City average 14.8 shots per game.

All they need now, is to make it into the play-off places...
