For now, there's still a way to get your football fix, with the excellent Football Manager 2020 game 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 Wednesday's last matchday squad is now.
13. Sub 1: Kadeem Harris - Sheffield Wednesday
He's still an Owls player, and has turned into a highly reliable starter. His pace and flair attributes are his best, and he's racked up his fair share of assists over the past five years. (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images) Photo: Nathan Stirk
14. Sub 2: Atdhe Nuhiu - Unemployed
Another Head of Youth Development on the scrapheap! FM saw Big Dave move to former side Rapid Vienna where he smashed in 37 goals in three seasons, before retiring at TSV Hartberg. (Photo by George Wood/Getty Images) Photo: George Wood
15. Sub 3: Conor Wickham - Blackpool
He's now tearing it up with the Tangerines, who look set to get promoted back to the Championship with ex-Barrow boss Ian Evatt becoming a club icon in the process. (Photo by George Wood/Getty Images) Photo: George Wood
16. Sub 4: Joe Wildsmith - Wigan Athletic
He struggled to push past Dawson in the battle for the number one shirt, and was bought by Wigan for £235k in 2023. He's their starting stopper, but they're on the brink of relegation. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images) Photo: Clive Brunskill
