What a season it's been for Pompey so far and John Mousinho's squad.
It's been a campaign full of impressive performances for so many different reasons, as players live up to their billing, surprise packages emerge and assets grow.
But who are the players who have shone brightest so far? And who is finding form at just the right moment in the campaigh?
Pompey writer Jordan Cross has given his personal view of John Mousinho's squad with a rating out of 10 (players need to have made at least five appearances to feature).
29. Kusini Yengi - 8
Another unbelievable find from Pompey’s recruitment team. Flew out of the blocks with four goals in first three games and has all the attributes to be a runaway success moving forward. Running Bolton’s highly-touted defender Ricardo Santos ragged has been one of the season’s highlights. Expect to see plenty more of Yengi before season is out. Photo: Jason Brown
