League One team of the week features Bristol Rovers, Fleetwood Town and Wycombe Wanderers stars

Here’s how the Sky Bet League One team of the week shapes up after the New Year's Day fixtures.

Bristol Rovers began the New Year with a defeat as they lost 3-2 to Wycombe Wanderers on New Year's Day. Ryan Tafazolli gave the Chairboys the lead and then in a two-minute salvo Sam Vokes and former Gas man Luke Leahy gave them a three goal lead. Rovers had looked to have failed to utilise Josh Scowen's dismissal in the 62nd minute but then Chris Martin scored a brace in stoppage time.

Rovers are 10th in the league standings and are nine points off of the play-offs. The league goes through a brief pause for most teams now as they turn their attention to the third round of the FA Cup. Matt Taylor's side face a trip to Carrow Road to face Championship opposition in Norwich City.

The New Year's Day fixtures did see some big wins including Portsmouth who got back to winning ways with a 2-1 win against ten-man Stevenage. Blackpool defeated Lincoln City 2-0 at Bloomfield Road, and also Shrewsbury Town beat Fleetwood Town at the New Meadow.

Leyton Orient claimed a 2-0 victory over Cambridge United, whilst Peterborough United beat Derby County 3-2 at Pride Park. Carlisle United won 2-1 against Port Vale, Bolton Wanderers narrowly managed to get past Burton Albion with a 2-1 victory, and in a five-goal thriller at the Madjeski Stadium, Reading beat Exeter City 3-2.

Despite the defeat, two Gas players have found themselves in the official League One Team of the Week. The formation is your traditional 4-4-2, and it is based on the player's WhoScored ratings for their performance last time out. Here are all 11 players and their respective ratings for their performances.
