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.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 6 months ago

    Elliot
    Davies Jones Cedric
    Carroll Sterling Hazard Ritchie
    Morata Kane Lukaku

    Foster RLC Simpson Long

    1FT 0.4itb

    Who to captain? Lukaku?

    A) Kane to Kun or Jesus
    B) Save
    C) Another suggestion

    Any help appreciated, really want another city attacker but as with most I'm just not sure been Kun or Jesus! Heart says Kun (and possibly armband...)

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Save and Cap Lukaku

      Selling Kane is a horrible option

      1. COYR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, that's the sensible option for sure. Lukaku > Kun next week seems better (depending on how this weekend goes!)

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Agreed

  2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Pick one to play

    A. Kolasinac
    B. B.Davies

    1. COYR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kola

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      This makes me sad when I have to choose one of T.Carroll, Chalobah, Marriappa or Gamez to play ðŸ™

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        They will probably outscore whichever one I pick apart from the ruled out Chalobah

    3. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'd start Bavies

    4. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Crikey. ðŸ™

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        The fixtures have aligned quite nicely for the rest, only other option would be Gross, but if Brighton score then strong chance he will be involved

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Play Groß.

          1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah I am currently, giving Ritchie the Palace game and have Jones, Otamendi playing. Hence my dilemma

  3. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Liverpool and Spurs fans must feel like their living the high life this year 😀

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      why?

  4. Razor425
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Morata & Delph/RLC/T Carroll

    Or

    Sterling & Wood

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling and Wood

      1. Razor425
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks that's what I was thinking too

  5. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    I can envision scenes in the Everton-Arsenal game this weekend. There'll be loud chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning" and no one will know which fans are singing it and whom are they directing it at.

    1. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed, sry

    Elliot
    Bavies Jones Cedric
    Sterling Eriksen C.Moting Ritchie
    Lukaku Kane Vardy

    Lukaku -> Jesus. Want to see Kun 100% fit before bringing him in, still have my WC. Thoughts? 1.3 ITB

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Can easily see Lukaku outscoring jesus this week

      1. Mr Wizard
        • 15 Years

      2. DonTheSpecialOne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Save and get silva or Kun next week

          1. DonTheSpecialOne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I would keep Lukaku, Huddersfield seem to be being found out at the moment

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        This is how the site used to be before it turned into an RMT only zone

        1. Krionos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

    7. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I've always wondered this.

      If someone watches like, the X Factor, they can at least say "I think he is the best singer" as they heard them sing.

      But in Bake Off, they can't say "I think she is the best baker" as they can't actually taste the cakes. And as the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating

  8. Zareos
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A. Mooy to Richarilson,
    B. Kolasniac and Mooy to Dunk and Sterling (-4)?

  9. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on what to do with this team? 2 FTs and 1.0 ITB.

    Fabianski - Elliot
    Kolasinac - Trippier - Yoshida - Mee - Long
    Eriksen - Salah - Silva - Atsu - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Abraham

    Thanks guys!

    1. Zareos
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Save one transfer and Trip to Walker/Otamendi as the other?

      1. TaiwanHC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        That's exactly what I was thinking!

        This^

  10. Mr Wizard
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Quick question.

    Who would you say is the best midfielder for 4.5?

    I’m thinking RLC with palaces newly found form.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Stephens, or Cork. No question.

      1. Mr Wizard
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You think so? Why? Just due to the minutes they get?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          And the assists.

        2. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Carroll (c) has outscored Kane (c) on 4 occasions

          1. Mr Wizard
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Hahaha! Fact!

          2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            That, too.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think RLC should play. They beat Chelsea without him so why change a winning side?

      1. Krionos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Because he wasn't allowed to play... He will start if fit

    3. mbglo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      RLC for me, by far.

      1. Mr Wizard
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Conflicting opinions here!

        Carrol?

        1. Mr Wizard
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          How about Delph?

    4. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      RLC or Carrol . The rest are useless

    5. pjomara
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Obiang or Carroll

  11. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with this bunch? 2FTs, 0.2m ITB Ramsey to Sterling Bavies to 5m defender?

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      could keep him for the cows come home fc game still wont outscore eriksen

  13. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Williams, 'We fought well as a team'.

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Typical welshman

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Williams isn't a top defender.

      For donkeys he was being linked with moved away from Swansea.

      Recently at both international and club level to me he has looked badly out of his depth.

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Try to play with him on FIFA 18, my bronze defender from the Ukrainian League conceded less goals than him

  14. KingOllie

  19. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    A) Alli out for Hazard or Salah?
    B) Keep Alli this week and use 2 FT to do Alli and Vardy > Salah and Morata next week.

  20. Atwood

      Erm...not for me

  21. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen

    Team decisions to make...

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Jones, Walker, ??

    Abraham, Kaku, Kane (c)
    Subs Monreal, Carroll, Lowe

    Who would you captain out of these four:
    1) hazard
    2) lukaku

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I own all but kaku and going hazard

      But kaku is the logical safe option

  23. The King

    What time roughly will the prices rise/fall?

    1. TorresMagic™

    Elliot (Foster)
    Cedric Jones Ake (Zanka, mbemba)
    RLC Choupo-Moting Salah. Eriksen (fellaini)
    Firmino. Kane. Lukaku

    1 FT, 2.2m in the bank, no WC unfortunately. Any suggestions?

    I'm thinking either:
    Firmino --> Morata or Jesus
    Salah --> Sterling or Hazard

  25. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    What would you do with this team? Is it wrong I am tempted to save with 1FT and 1.5m ITB?

    Fabianski,
    Kolasinac, Davies, Jones, Naughton,
    Eriksen, Salah, Ritchie,
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy.

    Elliot, RLC, King, Mbemba,

    Got 1 FT + 0.9 ITB

    Elliot
    Davies Kolsainac Jones
    Sterling Silva(David) Gross Eriksen Ritchie
    Lukaku Kane

    Foster Lascelles Hünemeier Anderson

    1) Kane > Morata to free up 2.4m for def /mid haven't decided what yet
    2) Kane > Jesus (Not sure about triple city)
    3) Lascelles > Trippier (Could go 442?)
    4) Other - please state!

    1. VDiesel26
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Just realised I can't get tripper in without taking Kane out, but other ideas welcome

    2. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Save free transfer, gotta find a massive sofa when you sell Kane

    3. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'd rather lose Lukaku than Kane... in fact that's exactly what I am doing this weekend

  27. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Everton are unispiring, underperforming, underwhelming, and underpants.

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      shambles, koeman must feel an idiot

    2. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I disagree. They are showing a little bit of fighting spirit still, amiright?

  28. Patch
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone playing Danilo and Mee, Hoping for a double CS game?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Own neither, benching Ward

  29. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Play which keeper?

    Pope or Elliot

    Elliot more likely for CS

    Pope more likely to rack up major save points

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Elliot

    2. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go Elliot. I'm on Fab vs. Elliot, going Elliot I think since I have Vardy 😛

    3. the snazzy viking
