The Seasiders missed out on a place in the League One play-offs, with their 3-2 defeat to Reading on the final day costing them a place in the top six, despite results elsewhere going in their favour.
It’s been announced that Matty Virtue, Callum Connolly, Marvin Ekpiteta and Shayne Lavery will all depart the club this summer when their contracts expire.
More could potentially follow, with Blackpool boss Neil Critchley stating there would be a rebuild this summer following the fixture at the Select Car Leasing Stadium. As it stands there’s a lot of work to do, with plenty of new faces set to come through the door at Bloomfield Road.
Based on the players currently available for action at the club, we’ve taken a look at the best starting XI as it stands:
7. CM: Albie Morgan
Albie Morgan showed some positive signs during his first season at Bloomfield Road, but just needed more consistency. The Seasiders also have youngster Ryan Finnigan that could come into the midfielder, as well as Sonny Carey- who enjoyed a bright end to the most recent campaign. The club should really be looking to bring back George Byers this summer following his successful loan spell. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
8. LWB: Dominic Thompson
With the players currently at the club, Blackpool are looking light on the left side. Hayden Coulson has returned to Middlesbrough following his loan spell from Middlesbrough and Andy Lyons is out injured for the long-term. Dom Thompson will be back at Bloomfield Road this summer following his loan spell with Forest Green Rovers. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
9. CAM: Rob Apter
Following his successful loan spell with Tranmere, Rob Apter could step into the Karamoko Dembele role for Blackpool. He mainly played on the right at Prenton Park, but perhaps could be given more freedom to roam. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
10. ST: Jake Beesley
Jake Beesley was Blackpool's second top scorer last season behind Jordan Rhodes, with 12 goals in all competitions. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
11. ST: Kyle Joseph
Kyle Joseph struggled with injuries in the early few months of his time at Bloomfield Road, and never really got up to speed. The striker has a big summer ahead of him in order to hit the ground running at the start of next season. Kylian Kouassi would be the other alternative up front for the Seasiders.
