Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Chelsea

Gameweek 24 begins by the seaside as Brighton host champions Chelsea at the Amex Stadium.

Despite notable absentees for Chelsea, there is keen interest from a Fantasy perspective.

The Blues defence is heavily backed and, with five clean sheets from their last six Gameweeks, we should perhaps expect further returns against a goal-shy Seagulls.

However, with Thibaut Courtois missing through injury, there is disruption in the Chelsea rearguard, which could mean that owners of Marcos Alonso and Andreas Christensen may well be forced to seek attacking returns.

That’s not out of the question given that Antonio Conte’s side rank second for attempts from corner kicks, while Brighton have conceded more goals from dead-balls than any other side, including 12 from corners.

Elsewhere, the inclusion of Michy Batshuayi in Conte’s line-up suggests that Hazard will be sparred a false nine role, with Chelsea perhaps lining up in a 3-4-2-1.

Brighton’s formation is also significant, as Chris Hughton mirrors Chelsea’s three-man defence by handing a start to Connor Goldson alongside Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy. That’s a situation to monitor given his price tag of just 3.9.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Moses led the Israelites from Egypt so I don't think Moses will be in any of their teams

      Tired, lots of mistakes

    2. Sailboats

    3. Rainer

    4. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Conte had him in his fantasy team.

    5. Clifford☯
      • 7 Years

        sorry. I read it as Christensen.

    6. Dannyb
      • 7 Years

    7. justmatt
      • 8 Years

    8. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Played lots of minutes, midweek game

    9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Poor, given the run around by scholetto

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    3 - Hazard (57)
    2 - Moses, Willian (44)

  13. Les Bleus
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So is this the GW where people to scramble to get Hazard and he repeats the trolling?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Hope so. It amuses me when people never learn.

    2. Magic Box
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Almost certainly

  14. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I hope people have been listening to me for the past couple weeks regarding Shaw and didn't bring him in. 🙁

    1. Own Goal
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No, I didn't listen. I felt so smug yesterday when Maureenyo said Shaw's the best left back in the Prem.

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Unlucky pal.

        Jose is the king of spin.

        He doesn't like Shaw. Never has. He's played him in January for a reason. Everything he's said about him is part of a well constructed sales pitch.

  15. TOBY1
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Willian likely to get a regular starting place?

  16. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Double goal points for scoring with weaker foot?

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Is it true Madrid scouts are in the house?

  18. Sun Jihai

    It's a good feeling to be on 38 points one game in! Hazard (c) and Alonso

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years

      Solid start

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years

      very well played

    3. Hazz

      Well done mate. Keeping faith eventually paid off.

    Come on Mr Moses one more goal/assist for 3 bonus points..

    1. turd ferguson

      greedy

  21. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Partial transfers need to start getting rewarded. People who got rid of Hazard a few minutes before the team sheets were announced should at least get something. Takes the piss when some people got rid of Hazard days before me.

  22. Darth_Krid
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Second week in a row I've benched Moses in my Draft team...for Christensen.

    The two weeks before that, I played Moses and he went off at 58 minutes twice in a row.

    Oustanding luck 😀

      Except christensen

  24. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 3 months ago

    It's 4-0, but I have no idea how Chelsea didn't concede.

    Brighton should have scored AT LEAST 2 with the amount of chances and defensive Chelsea mistakes.

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years

      And penalties not awarded 😉

    What did Kolasanic do to Wengy? Not even second choice now

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      He turned out to be a good signing...Wenger doesn't like that type

  26. Sim Simma

    Alonso is on a 8 GW hot streak

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      With editing yes.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Nice touch Eden.

    That little kid got Hazard's shirt.

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Kid isn't even innovative. Some kid did this weeks back.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah - wanted Courtois' shirt if I remember correctly.

      2. Own Goal
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Perhaps it was the same kid.

  29. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Negative points if you get a clean sheet but have been shite at defending the whole game and its only a fluke that you managed to get 60 without conceding?

  30. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years

    Christensen to Maguire?
