The Hatters are expecting to see a fair few comings and goings over the next couple of months, and are already being linked with a host of top quality talent ahead of the transfer window opening later this week.
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 Peterborough United line up with their predicted new signings.
This is how the starting XI and substitutes Luton Town have been predicted to pick in a home clash at Kenilworth Road against Middlesbrough.

A strong pre-season saw Berry burst his way into the starting XI, and he'll be looking to create all sorts of problems for opposition defences over the course of the season. He's got solid FM rating for work rate, teamwork and pace. Photo: Justin Setterfield
After losing James Collins to Cardiff City, Luton needed to find a new striker. The promising Norwich starlet, valued at a not-too-shabby £15.5m, joined on a season-long loan deal. Get ready for some goals! Photo: Jan Kruger
It's more fresh blood for the Hatters up top, as Idah is partnered with the Uganda international who joined for just under £1m. He's now worth £3m, so not a bad bit of business at all. Photo: Paul Harding
The ex-England international was released by Derby County following his loan spell with Man City, and agreed terms to join the Hatters. He'll be a decent backup option, and an experienced head in the dressing room. Photo: PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARCOU
