I haven't tweeted much about chip strategy recently...
You don't need to commit to a chip strategy until next week, when we'll have a lot more clarity on the Blank and Double Gameweek schedule.
Here's what we'll learn before the Gameweek 27 deadline:
You don't need to commit to a chip strategy until next week, when we'll have a lot more clarity on the Blank and Double Gameweek schedule.
Here's what we'll learn before the Gameweek 27 deadline:
We'll know which teams will Blank in GW31.
We'll have a good idea of which teams will Double in GW32 (or the DGW32 fixtures could even be confirmed before the deadline next Friday).
We'll have more clarity on the potential Blanks in GW33 and the potential the Doubles in GW35.
We'll have a good idea of which teams will Double in GW32 (or the DGW32 fixtures could even be confirmed before the deadline next Friday).
We'll have more clarity on the potential Blanks in GW33 and the potential the Doubles in GW35.
And we'll have more clarity on whether there'll need to be another mini-Double Gameweek outside of GWs 32 and 35.
(If Chelsea and Brighton both lose their FA Cup 5th Round ties, there almost certainly won't be another mini-Double GW)

You should start planning after Chelsea vs Man Utd and the FA Cup QF draw next Monday night.
Here are the five chip strategies that you could follow:
Strategy 1
Use free transfers to prepare for Blank Gameweeks 31 and 33, Free Hit in Double Gameweek 32, Wildcard in GW34.

Wildcard in GWs 27-30, set your team up for Double Gameweek 32, Free Hit in Blank Gameweek 31.
Strategy 5
Wildcard in GWs 27-31, set your team up for Blank Gameweeks 31 and 33, Free Hit in Double Gameweek 32.

Strategies 1, 2 and 5 would involve using Bench Boost in Double GW35 and Triple Captain in a mini-Double GW (or in a Single GW).
Strategies 3 and 4 would allow you to Bench Boost in Double GW32 and Triple Captain in Double GW35, or vice versa.
Strategies 3 and 4 would allow you to Bench Boost in Double GW32 and Triple Captain in Double GW35, or vice versa.
Strategies 1 and 2 are the only ways to eliminate all the tricky transitions between the Blank and Double Gameweeks - more info in this thread:
I prefer Strategy 1 because it allows you to build two different teams for the two Double Gameweeks.

General advice:
After the GW31 Blanks have been confirmed, try to come up with a transfer plan for Strategy 1; if you're not happy with your starting XIs in GWs 27-30 and you won't be able to get many active players in the Blank GWs, try planning for a different strategy.

My Transfer Planner spreadsheet should help you to decide on a chip strategy that suits your team, and it'll help you to come up with a sensible transfer plan for whichever chip strategy you opt for.
