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.
17. Sub 5: Ben Osborn - Birmingham City
After not being given a go in the first team, Ozzy left the Blades to join Bristol City. He had a fine spell at Swansea City in the top tier, and is now strutting his stuff for the Blues in the Championship. (Photo by Dan Istitene/Getty Images) Photo: Dan Istitene
18. Panagiotis Retsos - Bayer Leverkusen
A bit of a dull one, this. United decided not to keep the defender permanently, and he went straight back to his former club, where he's been ever since. He's now worth a mighty £46 million and Greece's skipper. (Photo credit: PATRIK STOLLARZ/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: PATRIK STOLLARZ
19. Sub 7: Sander Berge - Wolverhampton Wanderers
Joining Hendo in the West Midlands, Berge is proving excellent value after joining Leonardo Jardim's side for just shy of £30 million. He's become an absolute assist machine. (Photo by Marc Atkins/Getty Images) Photo: Marc Atkins
