For a bit of fun in the meantime, we fired up the latest edition of Football Manager, and simulated the game beyond the summer and into the future. We had a look at the starting XI, key subs and manager it predicts will be on show for the Terriers on the opening day of the 2020/21 campaign.

After being released by Manchester City, Huddersfield scooped up the 20-year-old striker on a free transfer. His 20/20 rating for determination should serve him well. Photo: Michael Regan
15. Sub: Elias Kachunga
The Terriers extended his contract for another year, and he's likely to be used as an impact substitute throughout the season. Photo: Lewis Storey
16. Sub: Orjan Nyland
The club parted with around £1m to bring in the goalkeeper from Derby County, and he'll push Hamer hard for the goalkeeper's jersey. Photo: Catherine Ivill
