The early stages of the Premier League season has given Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler plenty to ponder as they pause for the international break.
The Seagulls are 12th in the standings with nine points from the first seven matches with three draws, two wins and two losses.
Last Sunday they drew 1-1 at lowly Wolves as a late header from Jan Paul van Hecke sealed a point. Once again the Seagulls struggled to break through a low defensive block and once again midfielder Carlos Baleba was substituted at halftime.
The Cameroon international has been hooked at the break three times this season as he struggles for form and fitness after links of a summer move to Manchester United
They resume Premier League action on October 18 as they welcome Newcastle United to the Amex Stadium.
Here’s Brighton’s best XI as it stands...

10. Georginio - No 10
It's been a tough season so far for Georginio. He's yet to score this term but showed some encouraging signs from the bench at Wolves. No 10 is his best position. | Getty Images
11. Kaoru Mitoma - LW
The Japan international is also yet to reach the peak of powers this season but he remains Albion's best option on the left. Tommy Watson is pushing. | Getty Images
12. Danny Welbeck - CF
The veteran striker's two goals against Chelsea was a major boost. He links well with Georginio and is Hurzeler's most reliable striker at the moment. Tzimas and Kostoulas remain untested and unproven. | Getty Images
