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...

Manchester United tried to unsettle the Cameroon international but Brighton held firm and the midfielder stays for another window at least. A slow start to the season but no doubt he will improve. Photo: Mike Hewitt

I have gone for the Sweden international here as he has been consistently very good for a while now... but you can also make a very strong case for Diego Gomez and Jack Hinshelwood Photo: Mike Hewitt
