Grant McCann's side welcome Exeter City to the Eco-Power Stadium on August 2 in the curtain-raiser. It's been a profitable summer so far, with Rovers getting eight new signings through the door relatively quickly.
Here, we look at the strongest Rovers XI that is currently available to McCann ahead of the Grecians' visit to DN4:
5. LB - James Maxwell
The Scot had a stop-start 2024-25 campaign but will be raring to go and attack League One from the off. Should get the nod over Jack Senior. Photo: Bruce Rollinson/AHPIX LTD
6. CM - Owen Bailey
One of the first names on the teamsheet, Bailey's presence is guaranteed - especially since he was handed the captain's armband on a permanent basis this summer. Photo: Howard Roe/ahpix.com
7. CM - Robbie Gotts
Plenty of competition for the slot alongside Bailey in the middle of the park but we like the look of ex-Leeds United man Gotts. He's got tenacity and has a great engine that makes him a good addition in there. Photo: Bruce Rollinson/AHPIX LTD
8. RM - Luke Molyneux
Off the mark last week against MK Dons, the star man is another whose presence in the starting XI cannot be called into question. Photo: Howard Roe/ahpix.com
