Brighton stars past and present named in BBC Sport readers' World Cup team of the tournament - gallery

Brighton & Hove Albion stars past and present have been named in BBC Sport’s 2022 FIFA World Cup player rater team of the tournament.

Readers were asked to complete BBC Sport’s player rater after every game in Qatar. The team of the tournament reveals who shone brightest at the World Cup – and there are a number of surprising names in the readers’ XI.

World Cup semi-finalists, and surprise package, Morocco have the most representation in the team. The Atlas Lions have five players in the readers’ XI, and have at least one player in defence, midfield and attack.

Surprisingly, no players from World Cup finalists Argentina and France, and third-place play-off winners Croatia, feature in the readers’ best-performing XI.

Brighton, along with Celtic, are the club side with the most players in the team. Two current Seagulls favourites made the cut, while an ex-Albion star was also included.

Here is the BBC Sport's World Cup team of the tournament, according to their readers’ player ratings.
