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.

    Chelsea looks like they have only nine players on the field.

    Why did I do Mustafi > Alonso !!!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

      For extra points.

    2. Mumble Pie

      Plenty of time

      Even the best players don't score every game! Alonso season keeper for me.

        There's no such thing.

    EO of Chelsea defenders in top 10k above or below 100% anyone??

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      103.9%

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thats not accounting for Courtois missing though, right?

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Good point. -9.1% . Nobody in top 10k captained.

          So 94.2%.

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

    3. pjomara

      what's eo?

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

        Echo Oscar

      2. AnfieldLad
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Effective ownership. So if everyone had 2 Chelsea defenders it would be 200%. As it is 94.2, that basically means if you're in the top 10k and own 1 Chelsea defender it barely makes any difference to your rank whether they keep a CS

        1. pjomara
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks but only 0.2% of people are in top 10k so having 1 Chelsea def should still make a difference for most people

          1. Konig Luther
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            yes. but some people are in top10k already... they want to improve over other people in top10k (outside, we are just mortals)

          2. AnfieldLad
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            True. More than 0.2% on here are in the top 10k though. So interesting for some

    Who do you guys have autosubbing on for Alonso?

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      De Gea

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Coutinho

  7. How Mina You
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Bakayoko is woeful

  8. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Christensen been shocking...

  9. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea just need to pass the ball to Willian and Hazard. Forget giving it to Bakayoko and Kante. They are just losing the ball.

  10. johnnys balloons
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Jon Moss must be in -8 with Chelsea defence this GW. No other explanation for not awarding two penalties. Thanks man

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      You think both were penalties?

      1. johnnys balloons
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        1st one for sure it was contact and keeper was late. Second, Bacayoko was behind player and careless. Small contacts but penalties was awarded for less. Both big goal chanses

    2. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah you should watch the game ;), I'm sure you are just typing here.

      1. Br0k3b0ys

        He has a point dude...

  11. TheSteel

    Alonso non owners crying for made up penalties.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I own Alonso and thought it was a pen, didn't see the first incident though

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      And Alonso owners trying to convince themselves it was not.

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Chelsea def owners deluded.

  12. Butcher
    • 12 Years

    Anyone contemplating Kane to Morata for the next 3? Then back to Kane?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      lol

      1. Butcher
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Ok

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      No

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Probably no one. Of 5 million players.

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kane will still outscore Morata

  13. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso in a 3-5-2 is much more dangerous than in a 3-4-3.

    Hasn't gone up at all.

    1. Magic Box
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Chelsea as a team much better in 3-4-3

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe. Hard to say for sure. Brighton could have easily scored two. But Hazard and Willian are enjoying it.

  14. Jayv807
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Are Bakayoko and Sissoko related? Very similar style of turning the ball over.

    1. how now brown cow

      Leave moussa alone. Legend!

  15. Digital-Real

    Describe in one word the feeling you get when Alonso is in the opposition’s half?

    1. El_Shaw
      • 11 Years

      Murdering scum.

      1. how now brown cow

  19. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Because Hazard is so dominant in every attack when Chelsea go forward, there’s no opportunity for Alonso to get on the ball. Everything is in front of Hazard...

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I thought that would be the case before gw11 when I shipped Alonso when Chelsea shifted to 3-5-1-1 and hazard not alloeung his atttacking.

    Every time I hear the word "seagulls" in reference to Brighton, I can't help thinking about this legendary song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9t-slLl30E

      Turning in a classic Mike Dean performance.

  22. Ibracadabra
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Brighton will score (at least once) in the second half. Barring one good reaction save, this is one of the worst GK performances I have seen in a while. Caballero flapping, not punching, and not distributing well either.

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure what the odds are on a Brighton goal in second half, but for any punters out there not watching the game, there's your tip.

    2. Blaugrana
      • 8 Years

      You are speaking facts.

  23. Blaugrana

  25. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    Bricking it everytime Hazard touches the ball, so annoyed I got rid

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis

      Lol

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I am only half annoyed this time, since I did it for Son who has returned 9-13-?.

      Hazard returned 10-1-[7+]

      And I have a 2.5m savings. Even if Son blanks today, they will have been equal over the past 3 GWs if Hazard ends with 13.

  26. Silecro

    A) Shaqiri + Mahrez

        Classic dive

    2. Syd.

      Classic Hazard dive

      Should have been booked

  28. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Batshuayi is a much better player than Morata and it's not even close.

    Seems like the chap who's just bought Ross Barkley doesn't agree though....

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      You must be drunk.
      Morata would have a brace already with the distribution Michy got.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Morata would have been flat on the floor...blown over by a stiff breeze.

  29. El-Kloppico

    Thats what we call a dive.
