Chalobah to Como? What his potential Serie A switch means for FPL

Reports from BBC Sport indicate that Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah could be on his way to Serie A newcomers Como, with a bid already submitted. While not a Premier League move, this potential transfer carries implications for FPL managers, as a departure from Chelsea could free up funds or opportunities within the Blues' squad, and removes a familiar name from the FPL player pool.

By the numbers

• Position: DEF · Price: £5.4m
• Availability: fully available
• Expected points next GW: 0.7
• This season: 136 pts, 2,780 mins, 3 goals, 1 assist, 9 clean sheets, 265 defensive-contribution (DEFCON) pts, PPG 4.0, xGI 2.47, owned by 8.8%
• 2025/26 season: 136 pts, 2,780 mins, 3 goals, 1 assist, 9 clean sheets
• 2024/25 season: 93 pts, 1,969 mins, 3 goals, 1 assist, 6 clean sheets
• 2023/24 season: 39 pts, 949 mins, 1 goal, 0 assists, 3 clean sheets

The FPL verdict

Should this rumour materialise into a confirmed transfer, Trevoh Chalobah would no longer be an FPL asset, removing a defender who, when given consistent game time, has shown he can contribute points. His expected points next GW (0.7) reflects his current lack of involvement at Chelsea, so a move could be beneficial for his career, even if it takes him out of FPL contention.

For FPL managers, Chalobah's potential departure means one less option at a mid-range price point. His highest-scoring season of 136 points highlights his past potential when playing regularly. However, his ownership of 8.8% suggests he's already a differential pick for those who still hold him. A move to Italy would mean managers would need to look elsewhere for defensive value.
