'O'Riley decision, Georginio benched' - Brighton's best XI and bench now the transfer window is …

So, as widely expected, it was a pretty quiet transfer window for the Seagulls all told.

Pascal Gross re-joined the club for around £1m from Borussia Dortmund and Matt O'Riley is back in contention after cutting short his season loan with Marseille.

It's fair to say many Brighton fans were underwhelmed with the business and there is concern with a lack of options in wide areas after Brajan Gruda, Tommy Watson and Facundo Buonanotte all found loan elsewhere.

Brighton do though have Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh, with Solly March also expected to return from injury soon. There could also be chances for Harry Howell, while Ferdi Kadioglu and Maxim De Cuyper are also capable of playing on the flanks.

It's the small matter of Crystal Palace at the Amex this Sunday, so what is is Brighton's Best XI and bench after the transfer window?
