After another hectic three-game week in the Championship , the International break allows teams to catch a breath.
It's been another gruelling run of fixtures for England second-tier sides as the division reaches its quarter-mark stage.
The October break allows for each of the 24 clubs to take stock of their start to the season, with 11 games a fair mark to be judged upon.
Whether it's an under-fire manager looking regroup at the bottom of the table, or the high-flyers judging how to maintain their form, this break offers a welcome period of reflection.
With the action well underway, form and fitness come into play as managers look to try and nurse back their star men over the two-week break.
With injuries and suspensions starting to kick in, plus the odd out-of-form player, some managers will even spend this well-earned rest scouring the free-agent market.
Despite the season being two month's old, there is a host of players with a wealth of Championship experience still looking for their next club.
With the January window still almost three months away, managers could take a look at those unattached as a stop-gap until the New Year or indeed the summer.
With that in mind, here's a look at all the free agents still available to Championship clubs.
