The key promotion contenders have very much emerged, although plenty can change from now until the end of the season.
Still, it won’t be too long before the Team of the Season is announced around the end of March.
Pompey went unrepresented in the line-up last campaign, while Matt Clarke was the only Blues player in the 2018-19 campaign.
Should Kenny Jackett’s side thrust themselves into the top two in the coming weeks then surely there’ll be a host of players at Fratton Park who’ll warrant claims to be in the XI.
But would any of Pompey’s players make the cut if the team was announced today?
The boffins at scouting and stats-based website Wyscout have crunched the numbers to compile what they believe is the Team of the Season so far.
Scroll down to see how many members of the Blues’ squad have made the cut…

1. Goalkeeper - Lee Burge (Sunderland)
The keeper was dropped for the Black Cats' 2-1 loss at Shrewsbury on Tuesday, with manager Lee Johnson admitting he has a dilemma after Remi Matthews made a costly mistake. Yet, according to the stats, Burge has been the best performing stopper in the dvision, having recorded 11 clean sheets. Photo: Frank Reid
2. Right-back - Sam Long (Oxford)
The U's academy graduate has been a key player for Karl Robinson's side this season, scoring three times in 25 games. Long's also operated in centre-back and left-back roles. Photo: David Rogers
3. Centre-back - Nathan Thompson (Peterborough)
The ex-Pompey favourite has had problems with injury and suspension but is a key player for the Posh when available. Thompson's been serving in the middle of a three-man defence for Darren Ferguson's men, with his ability to bring the ball out of the back pivotal to how they play. Photo: Nigel Keene
4. Centre-back - Bailey Wright (Sunderland)
The Aussie defender completed a permanent move to Wearside in the summer. Wright has played 25 times for Sunderland, scoring twice. Photo: Daniel Chesterton
