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.

      That's a first. He hasn't got much in here.

    Dailymail headline:

    Arrogant footballer throws shirt at child.

    Unconfirmed reports state he demanded the child to wash his shirt and have it ready for next week

        He could have at least shaken his hand or patted him on head or arm too.

    3. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Haha.

      Well, he kind of had to give it to that kid really. Bit weird holding up a sign asking for his shirt. Sure there were other kids who would've wanted it too!

    Kid should be banned for shirt scrounging. I know you don't ask you don't get, but first row of seating, the kid's family is probably minted yet holding up some hobo piece of carboard

      The only explanation I have is he wanted to make a video of him burning the shirt of that cheat

  6. Aram95

      Moses isn't even nailed.

  7. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Looks like a back 4 for Arsenal unless Wenger plays Elneny at CB, which he has done in the past.

  8. wowBOBwow

    Alonso with 8 consecutive returns.

    Best player in the game by a mile.

    3. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yep~ 5 more point loss to owners of his this GW with my backing Christen to match him. 4k-7k now.

      Hopefully he will be in my side next week.

    4. Cok3y5murf

      Guess when I took him out...

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

    Hazard - 109 pts since GW7. Not bad given he pretty much missed the first 6 GWs due to injury.

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

      Essential!

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

      Still not value for money given the other midfielders that are available

  10. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Any point keeping Christensen now or sell for

    A) Maguire
    B) VVD
    C) Chilwell
    D) Any other?

      8 years, 6 months ago

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I think West Ham-Bournemouth and Leicester-Watford will have the most goals.

    1. Clump
      • 11 Years

    Funny to see all the hate for hazard just because they don't own him
    Sad really.

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years

      Funny or sad?

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years

      Funny or sad? Make your mind up

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)

        It started out funny but ended up syd , I mean sad.

    3. BrutalLogiC

    4. JustPark

      And they even got to the extent of blaming an innocent kid 😀

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How many from each team do you have?

    Arsenal
    Man City
    Man Utd
    Chelsea

    Just wondering, with the blank(s) coming up in week 28.

    Arsenal: 0
    Man City: 3
    Man Utd: 3
    Chelsea: 1

    Could do with Arsenal to go through to the final, otherwise I'll use my free hit chip.

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

      Arsenal: 0
      Man City: 3
      Man Utd: 1
      Chelsea: 3
      Liverpool: 2

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

        How could Liverpool be blank that week?

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

          Top 6 team though. Should have put Spurs:0. All about getting high quality Top 6 players this season IMO.

    2. Luton_Fan
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      there is a bigger blank gw later on, use it then.

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

        If I've got 7 out, I'd probably use it then, rinse the DGW if it's shortly after, then WC.

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Arsenal: 0

    4. Pierce34

      games will be played in midweek in the same gw

  19. JohnnyMagrinho
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Nice to see the Brighton defense parted like the Red Sea at the end for Moses to walk through into glory.

    17 points for a defender I've been thinking about getting rid of lately... definitely softens the blow of having Shaw today!

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nicely done.

  20. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso/Moses double up now viable?

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Moses has been subbed 2 times around 55'.

      I think Alonso is enough and the money from Moses could be used for another defender.

  21. Tazah
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Yeah fair enough hazard got two goals, but he's been playing like this for the past 5 matches... Could imagine owners would have sold if he blanked, now prob gonna captain

  22. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you play next GW?

    A) DDG
    B) Elliot

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Considering Elliot seems to have lost his place....

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years

        Lame question by me then. Sorry.

      You won't have to decide

  23. eclipse

    so funny when kids have Brighton defenders in their teams!! why?!

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

      They have 8 clean sheets this season, 1 less than liverpool & arsenal

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

      I have Dunk. He keeps CS against bottom 10 teams. Nice rotation pair with Everton

  24. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    So who's still hurting??! I have hundreds and hundreds of pounds at stake in mini leagues. Severe misfortune like that todayruins my mood for the entire day.

      He should have taken one pill of Nurofen.

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

    Now that Luiz is back in Conte's good books, Christensen is no longer a viable option, right?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Was rusty v Norwich, cost a goal... needs more minutes really, got a few more today, wait

  27. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years

    It's not funny seeing all the hate for hazard just because they don't own him
    Quite funny really.

    Did Morata to Wilson this week.
    Then for a -8, Chrst + Mee > Alonso + Ota

    Alonso has paid me back (luckily), now onto Mee vs Ota!
