For a bit of fun, we've used the latest edition of Football Manager to travel five years into the future, and taken a look at how Burnley's side shapes up. This is how the management simulator predicts the Clarets will be lining up in January 2026.

10. AML: Dwight McNeil
At last, a familiar face! Yes, McNeil remains at the club despite numerous attempts from various clubs to prise him away from Turf Moor. He's worth a whopping £59m, and has become a veritable goal-machine. Photo: Jan Kruger
11. ST: Danny Loader
After failing to make a name for himself with Porto, the versatile forward left Portugal and returned to England in 2024. He's disappointingly only scored eight goals in one and a half seasons for the Clarets. Photo: Nathan Stirk
