For a bit of fun, we've simulated the game through to the end of next summer's transfer window, and taken a look at the intriguing signings Sheffield Wednesday are predicted to make. Here's the deals FM21 is backing the Owls to make next year...
5. Cy Goddard - Benevento - Free transfer
Pearson opens his Owls transfer account with a rather left-field swoop, bringing in the ex-Spurs academy talent from Serie B. He arrives after a dazzling 2020/21 campaign on loan with Mumbai City FC. Photo: Dan Mullan
6. Louis Moult - Preston - Free transfer
A nice bit of business, this. The once-prolific Scottish Premiership striker is brought in for nothing following the expiry of his contract at Deepdale. He has 14/20 ratings for finishing, composure and flair. Photo: Mark Runnacles
7. Tomas Mejias - Middlesbrough - Free transfer
He couldn't break into the Boro first team, and Neil Warnock let him leave on the cheap. Wednesday liked what they saw of him in a season-long loan with Dinamo Bucharest, and swooped in. Photo: Mike Hewitt
8. Florian Jozefzoon - Derby County - Free transfer
The re-build continues, with another free transfer. Following a decent enough loan spell with Rotherham, who survived the drop, the ex-Ajax prospect opts to remain in South Yorkshire and join the Owls. Photo: Lewis Storey
