IN-FORM Ipswich striker Alan Lee has powered his way into a Championship select side.
Eight-goal Republic of Ireland international Lee is named in the Actim Index Team of the Month for October, during which a hat-trick in the 5-0 home win over Luton was his number one individual highlight.
The Town star takes his place in the following line-up:
Jensen (Burnley) - Alexander (Preston), Higginbotham (Stoke), Duff (Burnley), Griffin (Stoke) - Whaley (Preston), J O'Connor (Burnley), Koumas (West Brom), Huckerby (Norwich) - Lee (Ipswich), McSheffrey (Birmingham).
Lee and Gary McSheffrey, who cost the Blues more than £3 million when he moved from Coventry earlier this season, contributed seven goals between them during October.

Actim's Team of the Month has been compiled by calculating the highest-ranked players in October from each position in the Index - the official player ratings of the Coca-Cola Championship.
The Championship Actim Index was developed in partnership with statisticians from Salford University, one of the UK's leading centres for sports statistics.
