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.

    Not that I trust the Express, but they don't include Walker,Jesus or Sterling in their predictive lineup against Burnley.

    Any suggestions on this team?
    Def looks in trouble this week.
    Wanted to bring in Sterling for one of my MC players but will take at least a -8 to do.

    Bavies*, Jones*,Luiz*, oatamendi

    Did you know if you do
    Bavies ➡ward it gives exact money for
    Ramsey ➡Sterling (assuming you have zero itb

    Hence Ward top of price change predictor.

    Opinions on this as a front 8 after this deadline?

    De Gea. Elliott
    Bavies. Mee. Bertrand. Dawson. Hune
    Eriksen. Shaqiri. Ritchie. Ramsey. Carroll
    Lukaku. Kane. Vardy

    2 FT. 0.1 ITB. Which these would you do? Lack of city is scaring me now...

    A) Bavies, Ramsey > Moreno, Sterling/ Silva
    B) Eriksen, Ramsey > De Bruyne, Richarlison
    C) Eriksen, Ramsey > Sterling, Silva

    need advice here.
    this is my line up with 2 FT and 0.3 itb

    DDG
    Alonso - Lascelle - Kolasinac - Davies
    T Carroll - Doucure - Salah - Eriksen
    Lukaku (C) - Kane

    Sub: Foster - Oriol romeu - Crouch - Ward

    Which would you choose:
    A. Kane & Salah -> Aguero & Sterling 1.9 itb
    B. Kane, Salah, Crouch -> Aguero, Sterling, Abraham (-4), 1.1 itb
    C. Kane, Salah, Crouch, Doucure -> Aguero, Sterling, Abraham, Gros (-8) 1.1 itb
    D. Kane, Salah, Crouch, Doucure -> Jesus, Silva, Sterling, Quaner (-8). 0.2 itb

    thanks!

    Thoughts on these moves?

    Forster, Kola, Hemed ---> Begovic, Otamendi, Abraham

      Would opt to keep the first two. Other ways to get in Abraham?

  11. FPL ElasticO

    Is it worth doing these transfer??

    Ramsey, Hegazi & Vardy >>>
    Aguero, Moreno & 4.5 mid

  12. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years

    Ramsey, Vardy & Kola >>>
    Aguero, Atsu & Moreno

    Nobody appears to be following up on this. I'm sure you guys are not a scam. Please let me know by end of week or I will take the appropriate action.

      Just mailed you there, Limpalong. I think you may have registered two accounts and are using the wrong one.

    Iv thought long and hard about this Kun vs Jesus conundrum and as a Silva owner I think il leave it at that

    Nothing worse than getting to the weekend and finding out your player has been rested/ rotated

    Think I’ll only consider one or the other if there is an injury

    Frustrating but Pep is going to keep rotating until the cows come home
