Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 27

5. Branislav Ivanovic

Team: Chelsea Value: £6.4 million Points In GW26: 10 Although Branislav Ivanovic is one of the most expensive defenders available at £6.4 million, he appears to be the new Seamus Coleman, not only keeping a clean sheet but also scoring his share of goals. Now that John Terry is doubtful with a muscle injury, Ivanovic seems like a solid choice more than ever. If you have Terry in your team it might be a good time to replace him with Ivanovic and benefit from the extra £0.3 million for future transfers at the same time getting the same points every time Chelsea get a clean sheet, which they've managed seven times in the ten games they've played in all competitions in 2014. Ivanovic has recently scored in the games against West Brom and Manchester City and got an assist in the game against Newcastle. With Chelsea top of the league and upcoming games against recently out-of-form Everton and significantly weaker Fulham, they are bound to get some points. The Serbian defender proved indispensable in the last few weeks getting 14, 11 and 10 points. His scores were made of clean sheets, goals, assists as well as a regular share of bonus points. What is also important is that Chelsea will be playing in GW28 and GW29 so this is a long-term investment.
