For a bit of fun, we've simulated the game through to the end of next summer's transfer window, and taken a look at the intriguing signings Brighton & Hove Albion are predicted to make. Here's the deals FM21 is backing the Seagulls to make over the course of next year.
5. Marcos Rojo - Manchester United - £3.7m

6. Owen Wijndal - AZ Alkmaar - £34m
Goodness me, that's some fee. Brighton obliterate their transfer record to bring in another left-back. In real life, he's a much-coveted Netherlands international, tipped for a big move in the summer. Photo: Dean Mouhtaropoulos
7. Steve Cook - Bournemouth - Free
The Cherries couldn't tie the 30-year-old down to a new deal, and Brighton swooped to bring him in. He's worth an impressive £21m, and will most likely be flipped to a new club in 2022. Photo: Naomi Baker
8. Ryan Kent - Rangers - £12.75m
Nice, very nice indeed. Rangers' title-winning side is brutally dismantled, and rapid Kent rocks up at the AMEX off the back of a 17-assist season in the Scottish Premier League. Photo: Octavio Passos
