The Seagulls can look back on some solid summer transfer business as the window closed last Monday.
The significant outs saw the likes of Joao Pedro move to Chelsea for £60m, Simon Adingra to Sunderland for £21m and Pervis Estupinan to AC Milan for £16m.
New signings such as Charalampos Kostoulas, Stefanos Tzimas, Diego Coppola, Maxim De Cuyper, Tommy Watson all arrived, but perhaps most importantly key trio Carlos Baleba, Jan Paul van Hecke and Kaoru Mitoma stayed, for another window at least.
The trading period also gave a number a fringe players the chance to find new challenges as Igor, Jeremy Sarmiento, Facundo Buonanotte, Matt O'Riley and Evan Ferguson all left on loan, with Julio Enciso and Tariq Lamptey sealing permanent moves away.
Brighton are back in Premier League action after the international break at Bournemouth on September 13, so where does all that leave Fabian Hurzeler and his best XI? We take a look...

2. Bart Verbruggen - GK
Not quite at his best in the opening matches of the Premier League campaign and he also needs to improve his distribution. He does however remain Hurzeler's No 1. Photo: Justin Setterfield
3. Mats Wieffer - RB
The midfielder probably gets the nod as first choice right back these days ahead of the experienced Joel Veltman. Tariq Lamptey was sold to Fiorentina and Brighton also made a late but unsuccessful deadline day bid bid for Liverpool's Joe Gomez. He would have been a great addition. Photo: Clive Mason
4. Jan Paul van Hecke - CB
Keeping Van Hecke was a serious boost for Brighton as Newcastle and Tottenham were both keen on the Dutch defender. He was excellent against Man City last Sunday. Photo: GLYN KIRK
