    We wanted your suggestions for Brighton's all-time best Premier League XI.

    There was a widespread consensus on 4-2-3-1 with a few debates around personnel.

    Here are some of your picks:

    Cab: 4-2-3-1. Verbruggen, Estupinan, Dunk, Van Hecke, Veltman, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Mitoma, Gross, Trossard, Pedro. So many great players to choose from. We've been well and truly spoiled the last few years. Capable of beating any team we faced with this lot.

    James: 4-2-3-1. Verbruggen, White, Van Hecke, Dunk, Cucurella, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Gross, March, Welbeck, Mitoma. Take each of these players in their prime and they finish in the Champions League places.

    Gavin: 4-2-3-1. Sanchez, Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Cucurella, Mac Allister, Caicedo, March, Gross and Mitoma behind Murray. Only two maybe considered controversial. Sanchez was the best GK - big mistake by De Zerbi to write him off. De Zerbi fanatics cannot accept this. Murray is the natural goal scorer.

    Adam: 4-4-2. Verbruggen, Dunk, Cucurella, Veltman, Estupinan, Gross, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Mitoma, Murray, Welbeck. I've always been a big fan of the 4-4-2 system - unfortunately we don't play that much now. For me, the players I've selected are the best we've had.

  2. Do clubs get compensated for players injured on international duty?published at 09:12 GMT 15 November

    In a recent addition of the Football Extra newsletter, Roger asked BBC Sport: Players are frequently injured on international duty - such as Chris Wood for New Zealand last season, which may have ultimately cost Nottingham Forest a Champions League place. Are clubs compensated by the country or does insurance cover compensation?'

    Since 2012, Fifa's Club Protection Programme has covered the salary of players injured on international duty - although there are some conditions.

    Firstly, the player must be out of action for a period of at least 28 consecutive days and the injury must have been sustained during an "accident", which is defined in very boring and legally-specific detail in Fifa's guidelines, though it covers most of the examples you could think of.

    The scheme pays the salary of an injured player up to the maximum amount of €7.5m (£6.6m) until they are declared fit to return for their clubs.

    Transfermarkt lists Chris Wood as missing 18 days - three games - with the hip injury you mention from last March, suffered on international duty with New Zealand. As he returned inside 28 days, Forest would not have been eligible to claim compensation.

    There are a couple of clubs who will currently be beneficiaries of this scheme though, including Newcastle United, whose £55m summer signing Yoane Wissa is yet to make an appearance since suffering a knee injury while playing for DR Congo.

    A fresh episode of The Wayne Rooney Show has landed and there's a raging debate on who should be on the plane for England to next summer's World Cup.

    As part of the conversation, the panel dive into the form of Ollie Watkins and the credentials of Jack Grealish and Danny Welbeck.

    "I'm surprised Watkins is not in this squad," says Rooney. "We have an opportunity where we don't need to see Harry Kane - give him a rest. This is where the manager should be saying - 'you are not with us, go and have a rest'."

    Emile Heskey joins the podcast this week and there's also a nugget on Rooney setting a somewhat different example for a young Theo Walcott while on England duty.
