It brought to a close a busy summer for the Blues, with Adrian Segecic, John Swift, Mark Kosznovszjy, Luke Le Roux, Florian Bianchini, Minhyeok Yang, Josh Knight, Josef Bursik, Franco Umeh, Mackenzie Kirk and Conor Chaplin all securing moves to PO4.
John Mousinho now has a new-look squad to choose from, having assembled his side for the Championship campaign.
With the transfer window now closed, we’ve taken a look what the Pompey’s strongest starting XI and bench could look like when every player is fit.
Do you believe this is the Blues’ best possible side?

13. SUB 1: Josef Bursik
Plenty of goalkeeping options for Mousinho, with Bursik joining Killip and Archer as Schmid’s back up. Very highly rated having come through the ranks at Stoke City. | Portsmouth FC

14. SUB 2: Terry Devlin
‘He plays where he wants’ the Fratton faithful sing. His versatility is praised by Mousinho and has featured in a number of different positions already this term. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages

15. SUB 3: Josh Knight
Made his Pompey debut off the bench against Preston and will provide intense competition at the heart of the backline. | Portsmouth FC

16. SUB 4: Hayden Matthews
Another to be used off the bench to see out games. Matthews will be a huge asset for Pompey going forward. Photo: Simon Roe
