If you are looking to start a save on Football Manager to cope with lockdown this week, look no further than Peterborough United.

With a decent-sized budget and a hugely talented group of players at your disposal, your task is to secure a top-six finish and make a timely return to the Championship.

Here, we take a look at EIGHT players who you should look to sign if you start a save and take over from Darren Ferguson this week...

He has really impressed in the cup competitions under Jurgen Klopp this term, and in Football Manager, Curtis Jones is available to sign on loan.

He could add some real quality to Posh's midfield alongside the likes of Reece Brown and Sammie Szmodics.

Another young Premier League midfielder, Beni Baningime, could be another shrewd addition on loan.

The Everton midfielder could thrive in defensive midfield, with stats such as 14 for tackling and impressive strength ratings.

Ivan Toney and Mo Eisa are two very impressive strikes and are bound to start, but if you need back-up, Leeds' Edmondson is a potential shout.

He has struggled for game time under Marcelo Bielsa this term, but a loan move away from Elland Road could do him the world of good.

Injured in real life, Leko's loan spell at Charlton was cut short and he is available to loan straight away on FM.

With Siriki Dembele on one side and Leko on the other, Posh would have a frightening force going forward.

If you're looking for a more experienced option in midfield, Adam Clayton could be a really smart option.

He's only 30 years of age and he's surplus to requirements under Jonathan Woodgate on the game, and he could be a really adequate partner to Reece Brown in midfield.

Imagine Yaya Toure in League One.

He is a free agent on the game, and his wages are seemingly affordable. His pedigree would be an outstanding asset for Posh.

Another experienced option available on a free could be former Stoke and Sunderland man Marc Wilson.

He would add real experience and leadership to the back line.

Finally, former Wolves and Blackburn winger Ben Marshall is available on a free.

His wages wouldn't be too high and he has real pace which could be key for Posh.
