The Seasiders are currently four points behind the top six, but some of the teams above them have played less games. Inconsistency has been an issue for Neil Critchley’s side, but there is still plenty of talent in the squad to still ensure it’s a successful campaign at Bloomfield Road.
Here’s our strongest Blackpool XI and bench based on the season so far:

8. CM: George Byers
George Byers has demonstrated signs of what he's capable of since his Deadline Day move on loan to Bloomfield Road last month. The 27-year-old just about makes it in ahead of Albie Morgan. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
9. LWB: Hayden Coulson
Hayden Coulson has produced a number of strong display since his loan move from Middlesbrough in January, and has become Blackpool's go to man on the left side. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
10. CAM: Karamoko Dembele
Karamoko Dembele is the Seasiders' key man, who just continues to get better. The 21-year-old is like no one else in League One, and is always a threat playing in a central attacking midfield role. In 37 appearances in all competitions, he has scored seven times and provided 12 assists. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
11. ST: Jordan Rhodes
Jordan Rhodes has scored 15 times in League One this season, and his recent return from injury should give the Seasiders massive boost heading into the latter stages of the season. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
12. ST: Kyle Joseph
While he's yet to become a consistent goalscorer, Kyle Joseph demonstrated why Blackpool brought him to the club in the summer. The 22-year-old has put his injury problems behind him, and makes his way in ahead of some tough competition up front. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
