John Mousinho’s squad is now assembled for the months ahead, after another busy summer of activity.
With 11 new faces through the door the Pompey boss has 33 players to call upon, comprising his 25-man squad and eight contracted under-21 players.
With only 20 players able to be named as a matchday squad, that means the Blues boss has some big calls to make over team selection - starting in the south-coast derby against Southampton next week.
Pompey writer Jordan Cross has weighed up Mousinho’s options and given his strongest Blues line-up, which means some interesting decisions and significant names being left in the stands.

Definitely a decent case to be starting in Pompey's strongest XI and, depending on the opponent, likely to be the case. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
18. Sub 6: Florian Bianchini
Not for want of trying, but the Frenchman's Pompey career hasn't got going yet. Still, has talent and Championship experience so deserves his place ahead of Franco Umeh and Minhyeok Lang at present. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
19. Sub 7: Adrian Segecic
This is one which shows the heightened depth in Pompey's squad. Aussie has been a revelation so far this season, but Chaplin has to start and Lang gets the nod wide. Bound to be plenty of chopping and changing though, with Segecic having a big, big role to play. Photo: Dan Istitene
20. Sub 8: Thomas Waddingham
The first back-up to Bishop, the Aussie has shown signs of adjusting to the level in his first calendar year in English football. Photo: Simon Roe
