That might be one question for those who follow the team’s progress as we look towards the opening fixture against Fulham.
Well, we know for sure he has kept his cards well hidden ahead of the Premier League campaign in one respect.
That is in the way he has split his squad across two games on matchdays and not made the substitutions and in-game changes which are so much a part of his strategy.
It is no doubt intended as a way of giving as many players as possible some decent time on the pitch.
But it also means we haven't seen his full matchday plan in action.
The Seagulls’ first starting XI looks fairly predictable in most positions.
That, of course, is bearing in mind it is more than a one-game season and more than an 11-man game.
But the big question marks over Hurzeler’s first team named in 2025-26 seem to be in a deeper midfield role and as an attacking duo.
As the season progresses, we will see plenty more faces in the Albion side.
The chance to emerge and shine is there for Ferdi Kadioglu, Stefanos Tzimas, Charalampos Kostoulas and others.
Olivier Boscagli has great experience and it is intriguing to see the part he plays given Albion have wanted him for a while.
We asked Hurzeler about the need for more steel in midfield when the Prem starts.

Carlos Baleba and Jack Hinshelwood are the obvious men to do that but the message is they are coming back to full fitness and availability.
It feels very much like Yasin Ayari will have that more forward-looking role in midfield.
This time last year, Albion started the season with James Milner and Mats Wieffer in midfield.
Both are available and could, in theory, fill one midfield spot if both Baleba and Hinshelwood have an issue.
But Hurzeler does not seem to be going in that direction.
Again, though, remember it is a 16-from-20-man game and we have not seen a full bench with the first team in the two dress rehearsals against Southampton and Wolfsburg.
That is part one of Hurzeler not showing his hand in any of the friendlies.
And then we come to what might be his poker face in attack.
Indications from the last two games are that Georginio Rutter will lead the attack with Matt O’Riley in behind him.
When asked what Rutter offers in the No.9 berth, Hurzeler gave a full explanation and started it off with the word: Goals.
Danny Welbeck had a minor issue at one stage in pre-season but has been back for the last two behind-closed doors friendlies.
Asked whether it was Welbeck or Rutter up front, Hurzeler told me that was not the case.
So has Hurzeler been keeping his plan carefully under wraps in attack?
BBC Sussex's expert summariser Warren Aspinall certainly seemed to think so on Albion Unlimited this week.
There must be a good chance they go in with Welbeck up front and Rutter in his preferred role just off him, even though that has not been seen in pre-season.
And that is no criticism of the part played by Matt O'Riley.
With 38 line-ups to name, potentially 190 substitutions and a countless number of changes he decides NOT to make, Hurzeler has a lot of options.
But how do you see them kicking off against Fulham?
