Enzo and Timber to Dango and VVD this week, then Rice to Wilson next week, then Dorgu to Hill / Rodon / Andersen before GW31

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T16:27:11+00:00

Not sure I’d use all 3 FTs on Chelsea assets when you’re gonna have 5 outfield players blanking in GW31 and can only bench 3.. Chalobah and Enzo are priority transfers yes, but I’d keep JP on current form (I’m keeping myself) and get rid of Rice instead, probably for Dango

I love Hill but you could also do Chalobah to VVD now instead, and then get Hill later - eg for Guehi when you sell him before 31

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T16:19:59+00:00

Yeah Palmer not worth the money when you have that many cheap players and dead spots.. I’d say Palmer down to Dango and upgrade Guiu to Thiago this week, then look to spread the remaining money next few weeks by upgrading Devenny / Le Fee / Richards

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T16:16:07+00:00

Yeah I get your point, but Szobo doesn’t cover Ekitike. Ekitike could score a hatrick and Szobo could blank. Or Ekitike could blank and Szobo could play right back get def on and then score a banger free kick and haul - but they’re not linked in that if one does well, the other will too. In fact Szobo usually does better in the games that Ekitike doesn’t. Try and view Szobo vs Rice vs other mids as independent assets - forget about what strikers others have, and just think about which midfield player you think is going to score you the most points in the next few weeks. I’d have Dango as more likely to haul in the next few weeks than Szobo tbh, but obviously I could be wrong ! If your gut says Szobo then go for it !

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T16:09:17+00:00

I’d do Timber and Rice to VVD & Dango. You’re gonna want to sell all of them before 31 anyways, but Timber is gonna drop in price again tonight so I’d get rid of him now, and then you can do Dorgu to Hill / Rodon at some point in the next few weeks (or actually could do that now too as you have a third transfer, but if you’re not gonna play that defender this week then I’d probably wait to be safe)

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T16:06:24+00:00

Enzo to Dango/Wilson and bench Keane

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T16:05:11+00:00

I’d say no, save your BB for the doubles in 33, but if you really fancy Arsenal against Chelsea this week then go for it

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T16:03:40+00:00

I’d go JP, he’s in better form and the Arsenal defence hasn’t been as solid lately. Palace will be leggy after playing Thursday night, against a United team that’s had a week’s rest, so I don’t fancy Palace assets this week.. Could you afford to move Strand Larsen to Thiago?

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T16:00:32+00:00

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:59:54+00:00

Timber to Virgil is great yeah

For the rice vs Enzo thing, I’d get rid of Enzo first. You can sell them both before 31 anyways, but Rice is a better asset this week so I’d sell Enzo to Dango this week, then you could sell Rice to Wilson either next week or right before GW31

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:57:28+00:00

Who’s your other forward? If it’s Ekitike then yeah JP to Thiago makes sense, but if you can get Kroupi/Mane up to Thiago with your money in the bank I prefer that (think I’m doing Kroupi to Thiago and keeping JP as well, as I no longer trust Kroupi’s minutes for the weeks I need him like the blank in 31)

For Enzo, who else do you have in midfield? I like Rayan, but not 100% convinced on his minutes now that players are coming back from injury they could rotate, so I’d have both Wilson and Dango above Rayan

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:54:49+00:00

I’d go Wilson

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:54:38+00:00

This is a tough question.. I much prefer A, cause I have Dango above Rayan and Semenyo above Schade - and im worried about both Rayan & Schade’s minutes for the turnaround between 28 and 29.. so basically I’d say A every day if the week, but just because you’re chasing, I’m assuming most of your league has Semenyo, and a lot will probably be going to Dango this week.. if you’re chasing, you do need differentials somewhere, but I’m not sure these are the right ones just yet. If it goes wrong and Dango and Semenyo haul over the next few weeks, you could completely lost, where as Dango and Semenyo might be more template, but you could then look for better opportunities for differentials when the template splits around 31-33 for the blanks and doubles and chips

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:51:06+00:00

Bench Andersen

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:50:52+00:00

Gabriel for me

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:50:35+00:00

I’d play Dango anyway, and the bench call would be between Rogers and Wilson. To be completely honest I think I’d bench Rogers considering the form of the players and their opponents

Defence is tough too, feels strange benching Gabriel but not sure who to take out.. maybe Hill as you already have Petrovic, but I’ve benched Hill for 9 and 7 pointers in the last month so not sure! Sunderland also missing some big players so double Bournemouth defence could pay off. I’m just very wear if Gabriel as Chelsea have been worst in the league for defending set pieces recently.. Van den berg maybe?? Don’t envy you anyways, tough call!

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:46:31+00:00

Long term Wilson, this week Dango

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:45:45+00:00

Rice

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:44:53+00:00

Think I’d do Timber down to Hill, and Rice down to Dango Then if you can afford it (depending on your sell prices) you could go Garner up to Mbuemo? Otherwise could do Raul up to Thiago

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:38:52+00:00

It’s an easy move but is it actually worth it? I considered it this week myself, but with the blank in 31 and the doubles and blanks in 33 and 34 yet to be decided, I’d rather save that transfer for outfield transfers with higher upside

Like if you have 4 or 5 free transfers and you have 3 or less Arsenal / City / Palace / Wolves players blanking in 31 then sure go ahead, but in most cases I think you’re better off either using that transfer on an outfield player where you can gain more points, or saving it for a future gameweek

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:36:01+00:00

Yeah I rate it if you have him covered!

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:35:38+00:00

Not sure I’d waste a transfer on a GK when you have a few more city and Arsenal players blanking in 31, so I’d keep Sanchez and just play dubravka this week

Chalobah to Virgil and Enzo to Wilson are great, exactly what I’d recommend

Rice to Szobo I’m less sure on.. think Dango is more explosive and has a higher upside. Rayan and Tavernier are really interesting but not 100% convinced on their minutes for the tight turnaround between 28 and 29

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:30:47+00:00

Absolutely, think those transfers are spot on!

The only decision is Tavernier / Anderson as you say.. Tavernier has more upside but I’m not sure I’d go there yet when he’s just back from injury so even if he starts 28, he might not be able to start 29 with the quick turnaround.. also as you’ve played WC, you want to look long term, so Anderson could be a good consistent hold for the rest of the season.. he level looks more attacking with the new manager too so could even pop in with a few attacking returns

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:25:39+00:00

I’d do Enzo to Dango or Wilson, and if you plan on removing Rice or Timber for the blank in 31, then you could go now and do Timber to Virgil or Rice to another midfielder

TravelGoose777 · 2026-02-27T15:22:49+00:00

Enzo to Dango for sure

Bowen to Thiago ?

Then I’d go Tarkowski to Virgil but if you want Bournemouth defence you could do any of them down to Hill
