Football Manager Used To Simulate 2020-21 Season 100 Times And The Results Are Incredible

The fan-favourite Football Manager has been used to simulate the 2020-21 season an incredible 100 times as part of an interesting experiment.
Out Of Context Football Manager compiled a Twitter thread featuring wide-ranging results, from the champions of Europe's top five leagues to Ballon d'Or winners.

Manchester City were predicted to win the Premier League title 46 times, with Liverpool finishing behind them on 37.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain asserted their dominance in the French league by winning the Ligue 1 title an astonishing 98 times.
Football Manager's results showed that PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe won the Ballon d'Or 28 times, putting him well clear of Liverpool star Roberto Firmino's 17.
Other interesting results included Mikel Arteta, Sean Dyche and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not being sacked or leaving their positions during the 100 simulations.
Posted below are the full results from the Football Manager experiment.
