For now, there's still a fine way to get your football fix, with Football Manager 2020 currently allowing people to play for free. For a bit of fun, we simulated five years to the day into the future, and had a look at where every player from Sheffield United's last matchday squad is now.
5. CB: John Egan - Millwall
The Republic of Ireland international secured a big money move to Bournemouth, and skippered them for four fine seasons. He's just been moved on to the Lions, who snapped him up on the cheap. (Photo by Bryn Lennon/Getty Images) Photo: Bryn Lennon
6. LWB: Enda Stevens - Astana
Well, this is a rather left field one. The tenacious left-back gives up the Premier League dream to join Dynamo Kiev in 2022, and is now tearing it up for Astana in Kazakhstan. Champions League football, mind! (Photo by Aitor Alcalde/Getty Images) Photo: Aitor Alcalde
7. CM: John Lundstram - Reading
He stuck with the Blades for four more seasons, even during a brief dip into the Championship (don't ask). He presumably having a lovely time with Bash at Reading, who have Lee Bowyer at the wheel. (Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images) Photo: Jan Kruger
8. CM: John Fleck - Club Brugge
Brace yourself, this is a belter. This summer, FM reckons he'll join Leicester City for £12m, before joining West Ham for the same fee the following year. He's in his third season in Belgium, and is smashing it. (Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images) Photo: Shaun Botterill
