The wait is (almost) over: Football Manager - the enormously popular management game, notorious for its highly-addictive nature and ability to single-handedly destroy blossoming relationships - has returned, with the Beta edition of FM 2020 now available to play.
For a bit of fun, we've simulated the game five seasons into the future, and had a look at how Luton Town are predicted to line up in the 2024/25 season. Click and scroll through the gallery to see the future starting XI, substitutes, and manager...
Luton
Now 29-years-old, he's worked his way up from League Two Newport County and into the Championship. He's a top stopper, with fine stats for jumping reach and positioning.
Worth a tasty 7.5m, he became an integral part of the Hatters' defence after joining on a free transfer from Wycombe Wanderers. He's a Scotland international to boot.
With an aggression stat of 18/20, he's not a defender you want to mess with. He's a (very scary) rock at the back for Luton, and cost them 1.9m from Blackburn.
Five years on, Bradley is now the club captain, and their top earner too. He's been a key figure in keeping the side in the second tier for the long haul.
A graduate from Southampton's notoriously strong youth academy, the Irishman completes the back four.
His exceptional work rate sees him remain at the club give years into the future, which has seen him become a highly reliable Championship stalwart.
Mpanzu makes the cut too! He's stayed loyal to the Hatters, and reliably provided over five league assists in each season at the club.
