Chelsea's first 11 is over 10X more expensive than Brightons, and currently sit below them in the table having lost 4-1 to them this season already.
Ok, So Thiago Silva probably plays at his best, as does Kante and Felix. For Brighton, Veltman seems higher rated than Lamptey too.

Plus manager...

 

[Swansman]

Average level of the Chelsea players is a bit higher but there are better synergies in the Brighton team, not just a random mixture of random qualities.

True.

The Brighton manager is operating at a bit higher level than the Chelsea one too. Had a bit less time with his squad too.

Cost, value or worth?

 

[Icy Gull]

No brainer, Chelsea have much the better squad

 

[Dibdab]

Man for man Chelseas team in much stronger. I could pick another 8 players in Chelseas squad not listed that would push very hard for a start in our team. They have 3 CBs that would start over Webster. All their full backs would start over Lamptey, and whilst March is having a storming season he's a long way from Raheem Sterling. It might be easier to look at it the other way round and I think only Dunk, Pervis, Moises, Mac, Karou and Caceido would get near their first 11 and the others no-where near it.

Moises and Caicedo? Well, I suppose we'll have to lose one of them in the summer.

I'd add Sanchez to that list - better than either of Chelsea's GKs.

Manager must be a bit shit then

That's clearly true, and yet you get the standard 'oh shit I've got no reply' laughter icon from Graham's gimp.

GP may have been a shithead in the way he left but he’s good, just not as good as RDZ it seems though and I think RDZ would cope with Prima Donnas better, they’d be out on their ears.

Best be careful what we wish for though

 

[The Fits]

Veltman is our best RB. Clearly man for man their first team is better. They don't play like that but they will eventually, under Potter or someone else.

Yeah I'm well-known for not replying to things

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'd rather be me (a BHA season ticket holder) than....a twat.

Good job pretty much all choices and opinions are binary these days, eh?
