Over the next few months, the Seasiders will be looking to boost Ian Evatt’s squad to mould things to his image.
While last season was a disappointment on the whole at Bloomfield Road, there were some positive snippets that could provide hope going forward.
Certain holes do exist in the current squad, and will need addressing between now and the start of the EFL season in August.
Here’s what Blackpool’s strongest XI and bench currently looks like:
