Simulating the game five years into the future, we've had a look at how Hearts shape up on the eve of the 2024/25 season. Join us on a journey through time, to see how FM20 thinks the Jambos' starting XI, key substitutes, and manager will look in the not too distant future...
1. GK: Luke Daniels
After Brentford got promoted to the Premier League, they upgraded Daniels for a more glamorous option. It worked out well for Hearts, who got their keeper for a mere £5k.(Photo by Linnea Rheborg/Getty Images) | Getty Images Photo: Linnea Rheborg
2. RB: Phil Bardsley
You may remember he featured briefly for Rangers back in 2006/07, and now he's back in Scotland for one final season. Given that he's now 38, he isn't the quickest, but has some invaluable top level experience. (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images) | Getty Images Photo: Nathan Stirk
3. CB: Kyle Bartley
Another former Gers loanee, Bartley is a rock at the back for Hearts. At the age of 32, he's still got a couple of years left at the top of his game, and his 16/20 bravery attribute benefits his play greatly. (Photo by George Wood/Getty Images) | Getty Images Photo: George Wood
4. CB: Nathan Cameron
The former Macclesfield Town defender bounced between the divisions with Doncaster Rovers for a while, before making the move to Tynecastle. He's enjoyed two fine seasons with Hearts so far. (Photo by Jordan Mansfield/Getty Images) | Getty Images Photo: Jordan Mansfield
