Football Manager 2020 - the destroyer of weekend plans, social lives and in some severe cases, marriages - is on the cusp of its highly-anticipated release, and we've cracked into the Beta version to take a look at the ever-popular management game.
For a bit of fun, we've simulated five years into the future, and had a look at how Leeds United shape up ahead of the 2024/25 season. Click and scroll through the gallery to see how FM20 thinks Leeds United's starting XI, substitutes, and manager will look in the future.

After Bournemouth decided to upgrade to the rather more exotic Mile Svilar, Ramsdale was snapped up by Leeds on the cheap. He's developed into a quality stopper.
Snapped up for 2.6m, the Spurs youth academy product is in his third season with the Whites, and his 16/20 acceleration rating has seen his marauding runs work an absolute treat.
Nice piece of business, this. After excelling during a four year spell with Preston, the powerhouse defending joined Leeds in 2022. He's proved to be an excellent signing.
At the age of 32, the Scotland ace is still the skipper at Elland Road. He's aged like a fine wine, putting in consistent performances season upon season.
Plucked from Norwich City following their subsequent relegation to the Championship in 2020, the now veteran German is a reliable, if a little underwhelming, starter at left-back.
He's now accumulated over 100 caps for Northern Ireland, and is dazzling in midfield for the Whites. He's the club's top earner, and has a ridiculously high pass completionpercentage.
The agile midfielder is integral to Leeds' intricate style of play, and has turned into a bit of an assist machine too. He's recently into a new five-year deal, and appears to be at the club for the long haul.
