The Owls have won five of their 14 league matches so far and currently sit ninth in the table.
But how will they fare over the rest of the campaign, according to Football Manager 2022?
The football management simulation game has been wildly popular since it’s initial release in 1992 and is now played by football fans and professional players alike. ‘FM’ is also used as a player database by football clubs due to their worldwide scouting network of around 1,300 scouts which developers use to ensure full accuracy across the game.
The ‘beta’ version of the game was released last week, giving players a chance to play an early access period while the final aspects of the game are being finalised. The full version of Football Manager is released on November 9th.
We’ve simulated a year into the future to see how the League 1 season will pan out, and to see where Sheffield Wednesday are expected to finish.
