The Tangerines are gearing up for their first Championship season since 2014/15, and have already signed four new players in what should be a busy transfer window for Neil Critchley's newly-promoted side.
For a bit of fun, we've fired up the latest edition of Football Manager, and simulated the game to the first day of next season to see how Blackpool line up with their predicted new signings.
This is how Blackpool's starting XI and substitutes are predicted to look in a home clash at Bloomfield Road against last season's play-off semi-finalists Barnsley:

2. RB: Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel
After Oliver Turnton agreed terms with Huddersfield Town, Blackpool ensured the Nottingham Forest man stayed at Bloomfield Road for another season. He's got sensational attribute rating for long throws, pace, and determination. Photo: Charlotte Tattersall
3. CB: Billy Koumetio
An intriguing addition to the Blackpool back-line, here, after they agreed a season-long loan deal for the Liverpool teenager. He came off the bench for the Reds in a Champions League group stage game last season. Photo: HENNING BAGGER
4. CB: Marvin Ekpiteta
The 25-year-old starts alongside the Liverpool youngster in a solid looking defensive pairing. His natural fitness and jumping reach ratings are looking highly impressive. Photo: Charlotte Tattersall
5. LB: Demetri Mitchell
Now valued at £3.5m, the ex-Man Utd starlet has proved to be a sensational signing. He fights off competition for new signing Reece James to keep the left-back spot. Photo: Charlotte Tattersall
6. RW: Josh Bowler
It's another new face straight into the starting XI, after an impressive showing in pre-season in which he provided goals and assists against the likes of Wigan Athletic and Zulte Waregem. Photo: Jan Kruger
