According to FIFA 22 – that is!
The popular video game is predicting a busy summer transfer window for Danny Cowley, with the Fratton chief placing a quarter of fresh players into his starting XI for the opening day of the season.
But who are they and who’s handed the responsibility to start a potential promotion challenge?
Here’s how FIFA 22 have the Blues lining-up next term.
5. LB - Denver Hume
The popular game is predicting that the ex-Sunderland man is to win the left-back battle over Connor Ogilvie and Liam Vincent. He'll be hoping to remain injury free as a result in the game and in real life. Picture: Malcolm Bryce Photo: Malcolm Bryce
6. CM - Joe Morrell
After emerging as one of the first names on Danny Cowley's teamsheet last season, it's unsurprising that Morrell keeps his place for next term. Picture: Jason Brown Photo: Jason Brown
7. CM - Jamie Lindsay
Partnering Morrell is Rotherham's Jamie Lindsay. Although this would have been a realistic signing, the chances of Pompey signing him this summer in real life has become more difficult after he signed a new deal with the Millers. Picture: Stu Forster/Getty Images Photo: Stu Forster
8. RM - Jodi Jones
Another summer signing, Jodi Jones arrives from Coventry for free and slots straight into the starting line-up. Perhaps this isn't unrealistic following his release from the Sky Blues this summer. Picture: Pete Norton/Getty Images Photo: Pete Norton
