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.

    Play two
    A) Davies (Not sure even start the game and possibly not a cs)
    B) RLC (nice fixture)
    C) Richalison (have Luiz also, so not so tasty)
    D) TCarrol (blaa)
    Probably A and B or C, right?

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years

  5. aborg
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    I recently transferred out Davies for Monreal for the next 2 GW's at least.
    Is it crazy since Arsenal have two easy fixtures coming up and Monreal's form is good at the moment?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      good move

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Might be better to go city Chelsea or saints def over arsenal but good luck

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      All you can do now is embrace it.

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

        Thanks guys. I already have Otamendi, Naughton and Jones though

  6. Tibbs
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Best 4.5m for next few (not Burnley or Swansea).

    Any of the Stoke 4.5 defenders nailed?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Moreno .

    2. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Simpson 4.5, Francis 4.4

    3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I would avoid Stoke until they get their act together

    4. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Wimmer is popular still a risk benched early last game I think

    5. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Any of the above + Brighton/Newcastle

    6. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      moreno

    7. The Mandalorian

      Daniels

    8. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      moreno looks nailed and good fixtures comming

  7. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Over the next 3-4 weeks focus should be on attacking players as Chelsea, Pool, City and Spurs all have or come into v good fixtures. Thinking about 4.5 defenders is not the way to go.

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      ?

      Surely now is the perfect time to sort out your defence then?

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Not with City attack, Haz on the brink, Pool turn green next week and Spurs 3/4 gws nope big points hauls incoming

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I see

          My logic is cheap defence now enables getting more of those attackers next GW onwards.

          But I guess it's equally valid to say getting cheap defences will be punished by the big boys scoring vs them

  8. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Is Bertrand / Vardy >> Ward / Morata worth a hit??

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      both duds this week, ward faces city and chelsea not good with lots of injuries

  9. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Bavis owners, keeping...waiting....selling?

    1. Tibbs
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Think Im shipping, for that price I want 90mins nailed on. In my case means my Ramsey can become Sterling.

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Selling on wc for Cedric then buying back in 4 gw

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I will sell but I'm on WC if than matters

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Waiting until tomorrows presser....... Will get in Jones if Davies is confirmed out

    5. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Sold

    6. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping until I know 100% that he isn't nailed

      1. Tibbs
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        My issue with this is that Poch may say he is over illness but still play rose so can will you know he is nailed?

        1. Tibbs
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          *how

        2. yemzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          If Davies is available i'm pretty certain he starts this GW. Rose has just come back from long term injury, can't see him getting a start straight away. But i'm not so sure what will happen down the line

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

      Keeping.

    8. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      My bench can handle another no show, but have no other transfers to make this game. So it’s him or save, maybe now it’s time to cash my £100k profit in

    9. Freddo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you not wait? What do you gain from guessing when you could guess wrong and miss out on the points he's capable of scoring.

      If he loses his place, he's very easy to move away from, he's not easy to buy back if he don't.

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Because others have the opportunity to outscore in the meantime ,plus I like to be ahead of the crowd 😉

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

          If he loses his place, if.

          1. Evasivo
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Or even if not. Liv Utd Ars in next 4 where’s some others have plum

        2. Freddo
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Being ahead of the curve is one thing, guessing, getting it wrong and falling behind is another.

    10. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Chilax

      The mans schedule was outragous and now that international football is out of his way I am smiling from ear to ear. 3 cleanies with attacking potential coming up

  10. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Koeman could soon be a Brewman

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Remember when he had that interview saying he'd take the Barca job if he was offered it? 😀

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah 😆 I would take the Barca job if I was offered it

  11. JasÖ…n
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Play Carroll (lci) or RLC (new)

    Which one?

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Carrol as rlc might be eased back into the team

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Carroll probably but 2 pts each anyway

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Play carroll he will get you 8 points oh no that was last week....

    4. JasÖ…n
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      thanks guys, will start carroll then, much appreciated.

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

    Am i crazy for considering taking out Trippier instead of Kolasinac??

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    This is likely my front 7 next gw, might bring Firmino in for a hit as I think we'll destroy Hudds but if Vardy impresses I'll keep him.

    Salah Silva Sterling Choupo
    Kane Aguero Vardy/Firmino

    Worth crow-barring Chelsea attacking cover into here at some point or just not worth it?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      gw10*

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I don't think you need Chelsea attacking players considering how strong your front 7 is looking. Maybe Chelsea defence when kante is back but even that isn't a must.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Pranav, appreciate the input, may bring Luiz in for Davies at some point if Davies either gets dropped or rotated for easy fixtures

        1. Pranav Santhosh
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah Davies to luiz sounds good if Davies starts getting rotated more often. Till then I would hold Davies

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah certainly don't want to lose Davies if he's playing. He's like a tenant who doesn't pay his rent till the end of the month but when he does pays you double what he owes.

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

      Get Hazard for Choupo and Lukaku for Vardy. Maybe Sanchez for Silva too 😆

      Thats a very strong frontline. Be hard to fit hazard in unless you lose Salah and I'm guessing Morata is a no as your wanting Kane and Kun? The otger Chelsea are sll useless

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

        Sorry about typos

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          No worries, understood what you were saying

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Would do if I could, sadly there isn't any legal way to do it 😀 Cheers Sanchez, I'll see how morata does, another hat trick and I'll bring him in instead of Kun, would also allow me a City def

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

          I want Morata myself. Leaving a week then likely losing Jesus. Letting Morata get match sharp again. I think it's really hard to lose any City attack but I'm going Sterling only after this week. I think his value is probably unmatched this season

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I could get Kun and Morata but unwilling to let go of Silva, agree that Sterling's value is unmatched by Silva has to be a close second

  14. Pranav Santhosh
    • 9 Years

    Did Roy mention loftus cheek in his interview

  15. Tibbs
    • 15 Years

    Play Atsu (CRY) or Carroll (LEI)?

    1. We Will Klopp you

      Atsu

    2. Legomané

      Atsu

      Atsu

  16. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Correct order?
    1. RLC (new)
    2. TC (LEI)
    3. DCL (ARS)

    1FT 0.0ITB
    G2G(save) or any suggestions? Cheers.

          Indeed, he's FPL gold and hasn't disappointed since I brought him in - 20 points in the first 2 weeks I had him for

    1. Syd.

      A would rather have a Handbag than Williams as a defender

      He is awful

        Wilshire turn to beat 3 men in 1 swoop in lead up to goal was impressive

          Oh come on, it's not as if it was a simple to score from there on, still Walcott was not positioned to do anything with the ball but to drop it, and Giroud received it behind his back while running at goal.

            I've been watching Xhaka and Elneny play for weeks. Any forward pass from a midfield gives me a semi.

      Hard to see how you can attribute that to Wilshere! 😆

    Williams is such a p*ssy. Things aren't going right, so he resorts to violence

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Got his country knocked out of the World Cup and now this

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

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I personally have always thought he has been overrated but yes he has been abysmal this season

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Could have been sent off for that. Probably should.

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

        definitely should
