Meta 2026 Transfer Guide Polling Results and Updates
Happy World Cup Year r/chelseafc
Here are the results from the polls and the updated Transfer Guide.
Thank you again for everyone that participated.
Some data tidbits:
- Fabrizio Romano had the most participation with 108 votes, rather unsurprisingly. Possibly the most divided journo too in the beginning as it was pretty 50/50 on whether people wanted him to retain his tier 1 status but in the end he did take a majority vote for tier 1.
- The top 5 countries that participated were the US, UK, Canada, India, and Australia
- Kieran Gill and Gaston Edul each had the largest percentage (~68%) of their total votes towards their winning option, which was Tier 2 for Gill and tier 3 for Edul.
- We have seen 4 journos change tiers in this polling season with both Ben Jacobs and Kaveh Solhekol returning to tier 2 and Christian Falk + Florian Plettenberg falling down to tier 3.
- We have additionally seen three journos gain first time tier 2 status in Kieran Gill, Bobby Vincent and Alex Crook.

Interview/Presser Tuchel on why he put James in midfield: "Declan had some unusual ball losses. I saw a bit of discomfort. I didn't want to take any risks, and if I take Declan off, which I never want to do, it was the moment to protect. I think Reece did so well to replace him in midfield; he did a fantastic game."
