We asked fans on Facebook to name the Pompey players who've fared better than they thought initially would and put together a list of 20. Scroll down and click through the pages to see them...
13. Craig MacGillivray
Moved to Pompey with less than 30 Football League games under his belt. Established himself as one of the best keepers in League One and unlucky to have lost his place to Alex Bass this term. Photo: Daniel Chesterton
14. Linvoy Primus
The centre-back made a nightmare start when scoring a goal on debut at Sheffield United following his arrival from Reading. Yet Primus would go on to become one of the best servants in Blues history. Photo: PA
15. Enda Stevens
The left-back arrived at Pompey in 2015 after several nomadic years. He was at the fulcrum of the League Two title-winning season and is now plying his trade with Sheffield United in the Premier League. Photo: Joe Pepler
16. Steve Stone
The right-back had his share of injuries before joining the Blues but became a fan' favourite - particularly with those sitting in the North Stand. Photo: .
