On Sunday, March 22 at 4pm, fans would usually be tucking into a Super Sunday clash in the Premier League. Instead, with no footy on the box, 180,838 were found online and playing FM20 and we can’t blame them.

There is nothing that makes time go faster than trying to take Grays Athletic to Champions League glory.

Bearing that in mind, most people start at clubs where they can’t drop £60million on a back-up right-back – we’re looking at you Manchester City – and those gaffers are in need of a bargain.
