Is Abraham a better FPL asset at home or away?

With Manchester City and Liverpool meeting in Gameweek 12, Tammy Abraham (£7.9m) has been touted as one of the names to feature heavily in the captaincy debate.

Chelsea host Crystal Palace on Saturday lunch-time and a 12-point haul last time out for their number one centre-forward has only increased interest in him for the armband.

However, there are some managers put off by the disparity between Abraham’s attacking returns at Stamford Bridge and away from it.

Abraham scored 12 points in Chelsea’s 2-1 win at Watford

The former Aston Villa loanee has registered 11 attacking returns in as many league matches this season, nine of which have come on the road and only two at home.

As Gameweek 12 sees Crystal Palace make the short trip to Stamford Bridge, we will assess Abraham’s exploits at Chelsea’s home this season to see if he is likely to disappoint his owners there once again.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 campaign can access it in full.

How does Abraham’s goal threat differ home and away?

    Sorry to post again but really struggling with this one and could do with canvassing some additional opinions! Thanks in advance.

    Bench 3

    1) Lund (tot)
    2) McGinn (wol)
    3) Cantwell (WAT)
    4) Chilwell (ARS)
    5) Lowton (WHU)

    Currently on Lundstram, McGinn, Cantwell in that order.

    Also have Pope in goal if that makes any difference.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      1/3/5

    2. Reacher
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Id bench 1,3,5 in that order but would be worried about Lundy, lukily I dont have this headache and will be starting him.

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      235

    4. Doni555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Personally, I wouldn't bench Lundstram or Chilwell, so the other 3

    7. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Weird people are still recommending Lund should be benched.

  2. Reacher
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Lots seem to be going Sterling out instead of KDB to fund Vardy in

    Is this purely down to value as personally im looking to ship KDB to free up the funds?

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      KDB represents better value, particularly if you're not going to captain either of them, which given the upcoming fixtures, most probably won't.

      1. Reacher
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I get this but i feel Sterling is more explosive and has far better chance of hauling so for this reason ill be keeping him

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling does not seem to look comfortable playing wide left.

          1. DontPiqueTooSoon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            He looked so much better with Mendy playing at LB. If Mendy can settle in that position then I think Sterling will start to deliver points more consistently.

            He is still getting an unbelievable amount of touches in the final third and he is involved in chances. It's only a matter of time before he hauls. I am keeping him for now.

            1. St Pauli Walnuts
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              As a City season ticket holder, I completely agree with this.

          2. Reacher
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            he is still having a good season though, I think City's last game has frustrated his owners but im willing to keep

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If I go Sterling out I can bring in Jimenez Madison Robb Stevens in 3 gws
      I want to get reid of kdb but I won't be able to bring all of them so I'll ditch Sterling

      1. Reacher
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        So as i thought it comes down to funs for most, fair enough and GL with your transfers above

    3. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A bit of both Sterling not been great as captain

    4. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Got KDB in GW1 so more value would be the only reason I consider it.

    5. drughi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I got rid of KDB for mane as I still feel sterling is the more explosive one plus sterling/mane offer better captain option

      1. Reacher
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This is my thinking exactly

    6. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Feels like KDB at 10 ish million is good value, whereas Sterling at 12 million is not, think Sterling only has like 3 double figure returns in 2019 or something like that

  3. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Son's red overturned. Doesn't really spark credibility of VAR.

    1. Little fekirs
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It was given out of panic.

    So Dilva to Pulisic saw my TV drop by 0.1 but my SV stayed the same 🙂

  5. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Yarmolenko to McNeil for free ?

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      stick for a week and reassess

  6. Space Cadete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Had enough of constant underperformers and willing to take a -4 to avoid having so many of them in the squad over the long international break. Which one appeals?

    A) Yarmolenko to Tielemans
    B) Pukki to Jiminez

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. FOO FIGHTER

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Cheers. As I’m a natural contrarian this confirms my decision to go with A!

  7. SHOWSTOPPERRR

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Earlier Post full of blunders so posting again..Need suggestion guys..

    Guys original plan is to do

    Dealofue ota digne to vardy rico Janmaaat for -4

    since mount is injured should I transfer cantewell out?

    A) auba cantwell ota to vardy Martial/maddison Rico -4
    B) Auba cantwell to vardy tielemans free.
    C) stick to the original plan and start janmaat or soyu

    Team

    Pope button
    Taa ota soyu digne lund
    Kdb sterling Mount mcgin cantwell
    Auba Dealofue Abraham

  8. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Any thing here?

    Think I will save the FT and use it next week in a move with Sterling, Connolly, Janmaat out for Robbo, Vardy, bench flodder in.

    0.4 ITB/1FT

    Pope
    TAA, Lordstram, Rico, Janmaat, Soyuncu
    Mane, Sterling, KdB, Martial, Mount
    Jimenez, Tammy, Connolly

    1. Doni555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed - you don't need to do anything this week with that team

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Those moves look good, although no Vardy this week could hurt, likely the highest captain amongst top 100k

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Can't have them all. Not willing to take a hit to bring Vardy in

  9. Noé Pamarot
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Worst start to the season since I began playing about 8 years ago. 3.3m rank - embarrassing! Need to start getting back involved on here more...

    So here is my rabble:

    Pope - Button
    Digne - Lundstram - Janmaat - Rico - Diop
    Salah - KDB - Sterling - Yarmolenko - Saka
    Aubameyang - Abraham - Connolly

    Any suggestions?
    I am moderately tempted to hold simply because I have burnt myself several times this season by being too trigger happy. That being said:

    1. Digne & Auba > TAA & Vardy (-4)
    2. Just Auba > Vardy
    3. Auba & Yarmo > Vardy & Pulisic/Martial/A.Nother (-4).
    4. Save and use 2 FT wisely next week.
    5. Anything else obvious that someone not ranked 3.3m can see!

    Cheers in advance Sirs.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I like 2 and do digne>TAA the week after

      1. Noé Pamarot
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Any thoughts on holding Auba for Arsenal's nice fixtures, or do you think Vardy form/Arsenal ineptitude outweighs that run?

        1. Doni555
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I agree with Drughi. It's not just the difference between Vardy and Auba, but the money you save that allows you to improve the rest of your team too, and Vardy has the fixtures as well anyway

          1. Noé Pamarot
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Awesome. Cheers guys.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      4

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Defence is shocking. Digne and Diop need to go.

      Plus Saka and Yarmo.

      Auba to Vardy.

      1. Noé Pamarot
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers..and agreed re the defence.

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

      I feel Yarmo may be dropped after his woeful display. Fans are hammering him.

      1. Nellybc
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I have him and with Mount flagged am starting to worry.

        Didn't want to use a transfer before the IB but might be forced after the pressers.

        Fixtures are not great for Yarmolenko after this week either really.
        Tot(h) Che(a) Wol(a) Ars(h) Sou(a) then a free week in 18

  10. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    is the tottenham defence completely broken? as in aurier tottenham seem to finally have a full back that is looking rotation proof. he's a bit of a lunatic but you also can't doubt his price or attacking threat

    1. Arthur Shelby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Unfortunately has seemed that way. Wouldn't want to rely on them for clean sheets, though you could see 1 or 2 in the next 5 given the fixtures, and Aurier does carry some threat at a small price

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t you think Sessegnon is going to be a regular starter now?

  11. All For One
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Start Cantwell or Lowton?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lowton. Cantwell may be a dead asset now.

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lowton. Neither to be honest.
      Hernandez is back and ahead of Cantwell now.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        cool my team is

        Patricio
        Lascelles, Tra, Soyuncu
        Lowton, Kdb, Sterling, Mount
        Abraham, Vardy(C)

        Button, Lowton, Lundstram, Greenwood

        1. All For One

          Re edit

          Patricio
          Lascelles, Taa, Soyuncu, Lowton
          Mane, Kdb, Sterling, Mount
          Abraham, Vardy(C)

          Button, Lundstram, Cantwell. Greenwood

        2. JustPark
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          One of the Lowton is Cantwell. Not sure who's the other mid.

          1. All For One
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Yeh 1st one made an error

  12. PortisRed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    If Mount is out who will replace him?
    CHO or somebody else?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Most likely CHO. There is also Pedro though.

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is anyobe already working towards 2 playing GK's?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      *Anyone*

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I hate the headache. 1 playing keeper is enough for me.

      Could do with Burnley not being so terrible though.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Just thinking ahead when I hit BB.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Wildcard into one during DGWs

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I have cash to do it but will keep Pope for the next 3. Pretty good fixtures.

            After that Henderson would have played UTD. So then get him and another.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just Henderson from GW15

    4. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes i have just wilcarded 2 playing keepers in

  14. JustPark

    Any improvement would you make for this WC lot? 2.4ITB.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Soy Lundy Rico Tomori
    KDB Mane Mount Maddy
    Vardy Tammy Jimmy
    (Button, Soy, Hayden, Lundy)

    1. JustPark

      *Just one of Soy and Lundy.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That bench makes no sense since you've listed them already.

      But seems way too safe. What is your plan for triple Liverpool? Any differentials at all? Maddison or Mount could easily be swapped for some more exciting picks like Pulisic or Martial.

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hate to say it but at least from fpl wise, I don't trust Man United.
        Could go Robbo instead of Tomori really.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          If you can afford it, definitely worth it.

    3. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Team looks great, change your gk maybe?

    4. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It's the perfect template team. A solid base there.

    5. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mount injured

  15. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Can anyone who watched the Chelsea game give a little lowdown on what exactly happened to Mount and how bad it looked please?

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      wasn't the classic ankle rock, was more of a quick *insert ross geller voice* pivot back and forth. he looked in pain but hard to say how bad it looked. he stood up and didn't even try jogging it off so i'd personally be surprised to see him on the weekend but that's pure unnecessary speculation as we should get an answer on friday

    2. The Bad Seed
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      regardless. with the number of options, it would be a sin to play him.

  16. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    While many will be keeping an eye on Trossard, really hoping Djenepo plays this weekend.

    I want to see if he is going to be a viable option!

    1. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      me too

    2. Nellybc
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I have just got him in on my draft team so hopefully he can come good now.

  17. Hodg55

    Please comment on my WC team, having the worst season ever

    Pope / Gazza
    Robbo / TAA / Lund / Rico / Willems
    Mane / KdB / Tielemans / James / Jorginho
    Vardy / Tammy / Jota

    Seems very boring...

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not bad but I would not go James and Jorginho on WC.

      1. Planet_Marss
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        agree

        1. clodhopper
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Jame maybe but jorg no

      2. Hodg55
        • 7 Years

        Any differentials to have a punt on?

  18. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Strong enough to save? Looks like it will be 532 with my 3 mids in the same game.
    Heaton
    Robertson, Tomori, Lundstram, Rico
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount*
    Vardy, Abraham
    Soyuncu, Connolly, Cantwell

    1. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      soy has a terible fixture with little goal threat.. he's already used up one of his 3 goals of the season last weekend.. would switch mount if confirmed injured

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Leicester bad fixtures?

        1. Planet_Marss
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          leicesters way of current way of defending (keeping a high line) allows rapid players to run in behind.. arsenal are one of the few teams that can torch that back line for pace

          leicester are my second fav team in england but i can see them conceding one or two

      2. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Got Mount at 6.2 so don't want to ditch, and nothing in bank to do anything good.

        1. Planet_Marss
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          mmm i see you probably cant go tielemans now.. that woulda been my suggestion okay then best of luck with soy.. he's on my bench

          1. Bucket Man
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks.
