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.

    Brilliant touch from Hazard at the end of the game giving his shirt to that young boy

    Hazard thinks giving shirts away will make people forget what lying diving cheat he is

      Hes right.

      I can't defend his dive but when you are directing you hate filled bile at him it's worth considering for a minute what it's like to be the most fouled player in the league, which is in itself cheating.

    Christensen - worst pick for me this year. Rage transfer out; VVD or Maguire?

    1. luisgarcia
      • 11 Years

      wait

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

    3. Monkey Hanger

      Did it last week to Alonso. Feels good.

      VVD out of those two.

        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        The first one is the sensible one.

        1. gunner 2727
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed

          Yet mine has more upvotes. People afraid to agree with me out loud but deep down they do

            Afraid on an anonymous fantasy football site. Get a grip!

              Yes as bizarre as it sounds some people are afraid

      Extra Baps for Hazard for giving that kid his shirt.

    5. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      6 from 1 in Alonso.

      OK start.

      1. UshFPL
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Same here, I'll take it

    6. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Had Alonso but could have had a double cleanie with Christensen:( sad times don’t need this unfortunate luck.

      1. UshFPL
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Christensen got 1 point

    7. DA Minnion (Former great)

    8. AccountAnt80

      Will Haz get a yellow for removing his shirt? Or doesn't count when match is over?

      1. Dacra
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He'll get booked for removing it at bed time tonight.

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Same as when a def scores an 'own goal' in anger after the oppo score. They all count.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Thats a bit harsh 😀

      3. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        One for removing the shirt, another for indecently approaching a child.

        Looks like a red and three game ban

    9. Differentiator

      Morata back next week. Hazard back to a busted flush

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years

        Ideal

    10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thought hazard was going to kick the kid

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        The dad squeezed the life out of the child. Probably already planning what to do with the ££s it bring in on ebay

    11. Rainer

      Christensen essential?

      He's well rested for the run in!

        They looked f_cking dodgy at times though.

        Siggy could start to become an option soon

    13. Sims

      8 years, 1 month ago

      If it makes his owners feel any better, christensen has at least halped Chelsea keep cleanies in both these last 2 games

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He is going out of my team regardless.

      2. BrutalLogiC
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        this doesn't help me feel any better

      3. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thing with Christensen is he isn't as robust as an Azpi. You don't see Azpi miss games because of illness or tiredness. Today was bad luck with Christensen, but other occassions it is less to do with luck.

      4. Alex_thekid
        • 8 Years

        Glad I finally got Alonso in for him

        So everyone bringing haz nezt week and capping him right. Lol

        1. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not just saying this but I'm not even tempted to bring him in (serious)

        2. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I think im going to have to nip this haz scoring resurgence in the bud. That's why I'm planning to get him in

        3. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Not everyone. Many already own him.

      7. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think the nicest part of that game was Hazard walking over to the boy who held up a sign asking for his shift for the entire game and giving it to him.

        1. FlockofSeagulls
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          You're getting soft in your old age horse. 😉

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

        Alonso > Moses ?

        1. JustPark
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Alonso injured?

          1. Teror
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            No, he just didn't score any goals. Moses cheaper too.

            1. Sailboats

      9. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What did Hazard do?

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

          A kid was holding up a sign saying 'plz give me ur shirt at the end hazard!' (could only happen in Brighton), so Hazard did that.

          1. JustPark
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Class act. Sure all the kids will do that later 😀

          2. Rupert The Horse

            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Actually he was holding that sign up for the whole game. He even got a Manitoba during the game.

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Mention

            • 10 Years

            it was one of these crudely drawn signs. Probably intentionally made to look crude to invoke empathy. No-one deliberately picks out a discarded piece of corrugated cardboard

      10. Weeb Kakashi
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Vertonghen > Moses?

      11. Alex_thekid

        Did Christensen get subbed of on 58 mins no clean sheet again ?

          yes

        3. JustPark
          • 10 Years

          Unfortunately yes.

        Looking forward to bringing Walcott in as my differential. Hoping he plays well today but doesn't score.

        1. Teror
