The Technical Area – Assessing Abraham

After a quiet opening two months, it took a brace at home to Huddersfield to rocket Tammy Abraham – in the short term, at least – to the top of our search for a budget third striker.

Though the Chelsea loanee is clearly full of potential, his supporting cast at Swansea did little to foster any sense of optimism over the early Gameweeks.

Indeed, across their first seven matches, the Welsh outfit had registered a paltry three goals, drawing blanks on five occasions.

On the back of a 13-point performance, however, Abraham has jumped to the forefront of our thoughts, and in so doing has already gained over 156,000 new owners.

Have those of us jumping on the bandwagon identified a canny investment opportunity? Or is Swansea’s centre-forward merely the latest in a cut-priced line of false dawns up front?

In this week’s Technical Area we’ll be running through Abraham’s – and Swansea’s – key underlying numbers across the season and breaking down their forthcoming fixtures to better assess his potential moving forward.

    Who to sell first out of

    Foster (2nd GK Elliott) or Chicarito

    1.1 ITB

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    Some of the most disgraceful refereeing I think I’ve ever seen

      exactly, throws punches and cowardly pushes the GK. Hows that not a red?

    When is the Man City press conference? Is Guardiola likely to reveal anything about his starting lineup?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      tomorrow. Probably not, but lets see what happens

    2. Team Bobcat

      It is in no managers interest to reveal his exact lineup. Keep opposition guessing. Same with every manager.

    I hate it when a player first does filthy foul he should be sent off for and then becomes the hero of the match. It just epitomises injustice. It's even worse when the foul is a provocation that probably affects the game and helps him get advantage.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      worse thing is when players act all hard and then do such cowardly acts

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        As long as justice is served correctly and they lose, I don't mind. What I hate is when they get away with it and then become heroes.

      Agree. Terrible behaviour by williams. Everton are a shambles atm...

      Brady , couldn't muster any points against a 10 man WH squad, don't see him getting points at city.

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this lot for this gw. -4

    Elliot
    Alonso, Jones, Maguire
    Eriksen, Sterling, Ritchie, Moting
    Aguero, Jesus, Lukaku

    Carroll, Mbemba, Kiko

  26. Wild Rover

    Keane OG

  27. Mr-Inbetween
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Best keeper to pair Elliot?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      possibly Myhill depending on Foster's injury

      1. Mr-Inbetween
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not too keen on Myhill as he will eventually drop to bench when Foster returns

  28. Optimus.
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lyon goal

    1-2

    So is Koeman going to get sacked?

    1. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He's not the only one who should.

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Either way the new manager inherits misfits
