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.

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That’s what the Brighton boys are calling for.

    Caballero is no Begovic

  10. Team Cruel

    Willy Wonka will cost me a double CS here. Terrible GK.

  11. Jimmers

    Big Willy flapping around

  12. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Cabellero seems like a pretty small keeper

  13. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What the very hell is Caballero doing...he's really, really crap...

  14. Alan_T

    Is this new Brighton striker any good? Radar for draft teams?

    Take it he's not on the bench today?

  15. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    No clean sheet for Alonso in this

  16. Blaugrana
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Might stick 50 quid on 2-2 at half time. Caballero is one of the worst keepers I have ever seen.

    1. Mumble Pie

      Can't see Brighton getting 2 tbh

      Man united looked certain to conceded last week. Anything can happen. Brighton might tire AS the game goes on

  18. CarsonYeung

    Big Willy flapping about all over the place

  19. How Mina You

    What on earth is Caballero doing?!

  20. Smurf

    Not really happy with double Chelsea defence when Willy is in the net.

  21. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Unless u have no Chelsea or double Chelsea defence, it really makes no difference if they keep a clean sheet or not

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

      Don't forget to take away Courtois' EO, its still a small gain.

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

        Very small. Negligible. It's over 90%

  22. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years

    Can not see Chelsea keeping a CS whatsoever, Caballero so suspect

  23. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years

    BHA taking the game to CHE

  24. Puzzle

    Both Azpi and Alonso here. Caballero to ruin the GW.

  25. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    These early goals are not good news at all for Chelsea defenders - Brighton have no alternative but attack. If, on the other hand, you have Chelsea attackers ....

  26. Royal5

    Caballero looks drunk

  27. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years

    They should breath test Caballero.

    How long is Courtios out for? Having Chelsea defenders might not be a good idea

    1. Mumble Pie
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm guessing a month

  30. Blaugrana

    Caballero utter scum going to cost me 2 CS here...
