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.

    I have never hated anyone as much as I hate Christensen.

    He has ruined about 5 weekends in a row.

    It's times like this when FFS should allow the F word.

    😡 😡 😡

        So sick of this. FPL to introduce a partial clean sheet bonus NOW.

        It works fine with no issue whatsoever on TFF.

          That's why I like Telegraph Fantasy Football

            If FPL isn't careful, I will be going back to TFF.

            Why do Official FPL love annoying people with minor bureaucratic points.

        What a horrible comment. Can't take any chances with head injuries...

          Obviously I'm speaking from a fantasy football point of view. Do I really need to make the disclaimer?

            Apologies. You just see a lot of idiots making comments like that without thinking.

      I transferred out Christensen this week as he was doing my head in...but I feel for those who have him, that is a very annoying sub!

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        Him doing his head in is why he was subbed.

      Hopefully Christensen drops down to about 5.3 now & gets a run of games & CS's

      Christensen was well on for at least a BAP too.

        He would have struggled to get One.

      Brought Christensen in before the first Brighton game. 3 pts in total and missed out on at least 3 and potentially 4 clean sheets!! Got to laugh

      Christensen > Jones done. Max rage 😆

    18. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

      Brighton better score 2 and Alonso and Azpilicueta better get red cards now to make up for this shitty luck

        I mean there's still a good half hour for Chelsea to concede so it's not that bad, yet

        Said this before. FPL should award half CS pts for 45 mins+ appearance and full CS pts for 90 mins+ appearance.
