The latest edition of Football Manager has been released, with fans up and down the country trying to guide their team to the top.

FM is the most popular management simulator in the world, but it also offers a chance to simulate the season and find out how the huge database predicts things will go.

So how does it think the Championship will turn out?

Whilst Marcelo Bielsa has got off to a phenomenal start as Leeds United manager, his revolutionary tactics fail in the game as the Elland Road side bounce around lower mid-table throughout the campaign.

Bielsa is sacked in mid-December and, after Carlos Coberan is appointed interim manager for 95 days, the Elland Road outfit take a similarly ambitious punt when they give Scott Parker his first managerial role.

Blackburn Rovers are the surprise champions, thanks to the performances of Ben Brereton and Bradley Dack.

Stoke City are also promoted, with Aston Villa coming through the play-offs to return to the Premier League.

QPR's Tomer Hemed wins the golden boot, with Brereton and Diedhiou finishing second and third.

At the other end of the table, Wigan, Ipswich Town and Reading are all relegated.

Middlesbrough and Derby County finish in mid-table.
