For a bit of fun, we fired up Football Manager 2020, and simulated the game into the future, and had a look at the starting XI and manager it predicts will be on show for the Owls at the start of next season.
9. RW: Tahith Chong
Oh yes, now you're talking! The £13m-rated Man Utd prospect is snapped up on loan, and is fired straight into the starting line-up. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images) Photo: Clive Brunskill
10. AMC: Daniel Arzani
The Owls raid City again, bringing the Australian in on a short-term loan. He'll be desperate to impress and finally get some first-team football. (Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images) Photo: Michael Steele
11. LW: Dennis Politic
A radical new attacking midfield line-up is completed by Norwich City's Dennis Politic, who is another loanee brought in for the new season. (Photo by Charlotte Tattersall/Getty Images) Photo: Charlotte Tattersall
12. ST: Viktor Gyokeres
Fear not, Steven Fletcher is still at the club on a new deal, but he's out of the game with an achilles tendon injury picked up in pre-season. Gyokeres, a new signing from Brighton, leads the line. (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) Photo: Mike Hewitt
