Why appealing home fixtures are becoming a problem for Abraham

Chelsea assets continue to frustrate Fantasy Premier League managers as they recorded yet another awful home result in Gameweek 19.

They were undone by basement boys Southampton on an afternoon when many a captain armband was placed on Blues options.

Meanwhile, we got our first chance to see Arsenal under new manager Mikel Arteta.

We’ve got some analysis on both matches in this latest Scout Notes article.

Chelsea 0-2 Southampton

Goals: Michael Obafemi (£4.9m), Nathan Redmond (£6.2m)

Assists: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (£4.8m)

Bonus Points: Cédric Soares x3 (£4.8m), Jan Bednarek x2 (£4.4m), Obafemi x2

Tammy Abraham‘s (£7.9m) stock continues to fall as he recorded yet another blank in a disappointing result for Chelsea on Boxing Day.

Despite naming a strong line-up, Frank Lampard saw his side lose 2-0 at home to a Southampton outfit that started the match without in-form goalscorer Danny Ings (£6.5m).

It was the third time in four Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge that Chelsea have lost to a relegation-threatened club without scoring – which has gone a long way to causing trust issues when it comes to captaining their players.

Furthermore, with so many so-called smaller clubs coming to Chelsea and registering positive results, it appears that Stamford Bridge is losing fear for the sides that Lampard’s men should be beating. Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhüttl explained his players were motivated by that and it suggests that this sort of problem could potentially create a vicious cycle at home.

“When you see that two teams win here then why shouldn’t you also? This is more of losing the fear, don’t be afraid. Come here, be brave. I spoke before about how we want to win here.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

Despite doing so well against Spurs in Gameweek 18, Chelsea barely got any kind of rhythm going against Southampton on Boxing Day, not managing a single shot on target until the stroke of half-time.

Mason Mount (£6.5m), who was named on the bench alongside Christian Pulisic (£7.2m), replaced Kurt Zouma (£4.7m) at half-time, triggering a switch from the 3-4-3 formation to a 4-2-3-1.

There was something of an impact as Abraham soon after had the chance to lash an effort into the side-netting, his only shot of the match, and even after that, Chelsea were still woeful going forward.

“Mason has been feeling rough the last few days. It brightened it a bit [when he came on at half-time] but not enough. We controlled the game but we are not getting anything in the box. It’s a testing period but we have to deal with that.” – Frank Lampard

It means that Abraham has now blanked in six of his last seven Premier League outings. It will be interesting to see how his ownership suffers over the coming days as Chelsea still have relatively favourable fixtures to come, including trips to Arsenal and Brighton.

While there was a second start in a row for Fikayo Tomori (£4.8m) in a back-three, there was no repeat of the impressive defensive display witness at Spurs in Gameweek 18.

Tomori himself and Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.5m) produced important second-half blocks but could not record back-to-back clean sheets.

The fact that Michael Obafemi (£4.9m) and Nathan Redmond (£6.2m), two players with fairly sketchy scoring histories, were able to find the net adds insult to injury in many respects – as the more ruthless Ings featured for only 21 second-half minutes and one-pointed his 14.5% ownership.

With plenty of options at Lampard’s disposal, the Gameweek 20 trip to Arsenal could well see some rotation for Chelsea.

Given recent displays, it must be said that Abraham is at risk of being replaced by Michy Batshuayi (£6.6m).

However, Mount and Pulisic can probably feel more confident of a start at the Emirates Stadium having both featured only as substitutes in Gameweek 19.

Furthermore, Ings’ absence from the majority of this match, while frustrating, should significantly boost his chances of starting Southampton’s hosting of Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.4m) came in for his first start since Gameweek 9 but was panned by the local press. Despite such a poor performance, Lampard lent his backing to the player after the full-time whistle.

“I thought (Hudson-Odoi) put a lot of effort in today, he was trying things, making runs, not quite coming off for him in the first half. He’s come off the back of a big injury and this is certainly a period where we have to stick with him. He’s very young. A lot of talk last year about contract and would he or wouldn’t he and now he has and he’s in a period now where he has to get his head down and work and he knows that – to show what he can be for this club. It’s down to him now. I showed faith in him playing today and I will continue to do that. But we also have to go with him a little bit. And I’ve sat here and I’ve probably been relatively harsh on Callum a couple of times and I don’t think now is the moment to do that because I think today I saw an effort and a desire, I’ve seen it in training these last couple of weeks.” – Frank Lampard

Chelsea XI (3-4-3): Kepa; Tomori, Zouma (Mount 46′), Rüdiger; Emerson, Jorginho, Kanté, Azpilicueta; Willian (Pedro 84′), Abraham, Hudson-Odoi (Pulisic 67′).

Southampton XI (4-4-2): McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Cédric; Redmond, Højbjerg, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong (Romeu 86′); Adams (Boufal 80′), Obafemi (Ings 69′).

Bournemouth 1-1 Arsenal

Goals: Dan Gosling (£4.9m) | Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m)

Assists: Jack Stacey (£4.3m) | Reiss Nelson (£5.3m)

Bonus Points: Stacey x3, Aubameyang x2, Gosling x1

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m) scored the first goal of Arteta’s reign as Arsenal manager as he continued his recent impressive form away from home.

In the Gunners’ last four matches away from the Emirates Stadium, Aubameyang has now registered a total of five attacking returns.

The centre-forward did not offer a huge amount in the first half but sprung to life in the second period. 

As predicted, he was deployed on the left flank of an attacking midfield trio behind Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m), his wide station helping him remain unmarked by marauding full-back Jack Stacey (£4.3m).

Aubameyang caused plenty of problems when running at the Bournemouth defence and his persistence led to ending up in the right place at the right time to turn in the rebound from Reiss Nelson‘s (£5.3m) shot.

Back in the team for a first start since Gameweek 15, Lacazette showed some threat early on but faded as the game went on and he started missing easy passes.

Of particular note for Arsenal was an impressive performance from Mesut Özil (£7.2m), who earned praise both from the local press and his new manager.

He was deployed in the number 10 role of the 4-2-3-1 formation and was arguably unfortunate not to leave Bournemouth with a couple of assists to his name.

He set up Lacazette for a decent chance but the Frenchman couldn’t get the ball under control while Aubameyang spurned another chance created by Özil.

“Özil’s attitude since I’ve joined has been incredible. We believed he could be the key and he responded and he could have created two or three goals.” – Mikel Arteta

However, there is still not much improvement to Arsenal’s defence as, once again, injuries elsewhere in the squad forced them into starting Bukayo Saka (£4.5m) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) at left-back and right-back respectively.

As players who have mostly played in midfield, they offered a little extra going forward but remain assets to be exploited.

Bournemouth’s opening goal came after Aubameyang’s pass to Saka did not find its target, leaving room behind to run in.

The Cherries’ attack has stuttered in recent months but they got some joy down Stacey’s flank as his cross was swept in by Dan Gosling (£4.9m) at the near-post.

Callum Wilson (£7.4m) was back in the starting XI for the Boxing Day clash but has now gone 12 successive Gameweeks without any attacing returns.

A suspension for left-back Diego Rico (£4.3m), as well as long-term injuries to Lloyd Kelly (£4.4m) and Charlie Daniels (£4.3m), did not put Howe off deploying a 4-4-2 formation once again.

Rather than switch to a wing-back system, he brought budget defender Jack Simpson (£3.9m), who usually plays centre-back, into the side to operate as make-shift left-back.

Fantasy managers should probably not expect Simpson to stick around in the first-team for too long as Rico will be available for the Gameweek 20 trip to Brighton, likely starting the game having technically had a rest on Boxing Day.

Finally, Bournemouth’s defensive potential has arguably increased somewhat by a surprise return to fitness of Steve Cook (£5.0m), who came in for the injured Simon Francis (£4.4m) and lasted 90 minutes.

Bournemouth XI (4-4-2): Ramsdale; Simpson, Mepham, S Cook, Stacey; Fraser, Gosling (Billing 70′), Lerma, L Cook; J King (H Wilson 66′), C Wilson.

Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Saka, D Luiz, Sokratis (Mustafi 77′), Maitland-Niles; Xhaka, Torreira; Aubameyang, Özil (Willock 75′), Nelson (Pépé 82′); Lacazette.

      He's not. Can see Pep changing tack and putting Walker at CB to cover for the lack of pace City have.

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Maupay just isn’t a very good player and potter rotates too much. Don’t be blinded by their fixtures

              1. Pieterke30
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Ok, duly noted

              2. Flynny
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Maupay start 15 or last 16 before today

                1. Pieterke30
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  But the point abt him not being a great player stands?

            2. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              prefer Ayew for 0.8m cheaper

              1. Pieterke30
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                As a fodder in 352 then

                1. Pieterke30
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  ... but then why not go even cheaper with Greenwood?

                  1. Christina.
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    greenwood not nailed
                    will mean using another trade

                    1. Christina.
                      • 14 Years
                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      I prefer 6m strikers over milfs

                      1. Pieterke30
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 7 Years
                        4 years, 3 months ago

  4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years

    Do you think Greenwood will start next game?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No. 90 mins today. He is young. Most likely benched.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No.

      James Martial Rash

    3. ZeBestee

      Nop.

  5. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Why Rodgers didnt rest Vardy last 20 minutes today ? pretty stupid from him

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

      He was resting on the pitch

  6. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    On WC, down to:

    A) Madders, Alli, Rashford
    B) Grealish, Mané, Ings

    Will have Martial and Salah so A is for double utd, b for double pool

    1. petergriff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      V tough to decide. I think A just

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ta.

        There's also C: Grealish, Madders, Kane

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

  7. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    The zero shots on goal suggests otherwise Kasper. https://twitter.com/JDNalton/status/1210325898521649153?s=20

  8. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    RIP apart this WC team! Would love some feedback

    McCarthy
    TAA - Soy - Kiko
    Salah - Mane - Kdb - Alli - Grealish
    Vardy - Ings

    Subs: Button - Greenwood - Lunds - Rico

    1. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I doubt you'll get 11 starters in gw20

      Otherwise good long term

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Southampton have kept 3 clean sheets all season and have some tough fixtures coming up, would avoid McCarthy

    3. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not sold on McCarthy and Ings (because of fixtures) otherwise it looks great!

  9. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Salah vs Mane getting tricky for wc'ers now, with Mane likely to be giveb a rest in one of next two. May get both, but big chunk of budget, not ideal price structure.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Why is it tricky? I'm going Salah, haven't even considered Mane

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Mane season keeper for me

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      both for me. livp gonna spank teams

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

        Yeah both from 25 for sure for me

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          That’s the thing. Until then, I think we might survive with just one of them.

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

            I completely agree. KDB, Alli, Martial etc proving more than good enough value in midfield for now

          2. Pompel
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Gotta have Sterling in that case, to allow straight swap

      2. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That’s expensive but yeah.

      3. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Think that's the solution. Now got to shoehorn TAA in as well (yeah, I know...). Cheap 3rd striker seems the solution Maupay hopefully can do

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Heaton

            Not bad - Maupay is actuslly 5.8 so. But low TV, so Id have to downgrade Alli probs

      4. twoplustwo
        • 9 Years

        Easy game

    3. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Neither, think I'm going to go triple Liverpool defence like the end of last seaon.

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I don't trust Bobby, but he is a confidence player. He played more centrally than Mane. I mus admit, that Abraham to Firmino for free is tempting.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Could be, but he's not been consistent for quite some time

    Better WC team?

    A)
    Ramsdale McGovern 
    Soy Aurier Lund Trent SIDIBE

      DCL

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ancelotti had good things to say about DCL today and wants him to stay up top rather than move back or left and right.

      2. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I’d wait until after Man City game before considering him though.

    G2g for next gw?

    McCarthy
    Dunk, Soy, TAA
    Moura, KDB, Mane, Richarlison, Grealish
    Vardy, Maupay

    Pope, Jimenez, Kelly, Lund

  16. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsdale, McGovern
    TAA, Aurier, Lundstram, Kelly, Targett
    Mane, Alli, KDB, Maddison, Grealish
    Vardy, Rashford, Greenwood

    That will be my team after I use 2 FT (Hendo, Tammy > Ramsdale, Rash).
    How is that look?

      Fine

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Fine isnt good enough 🙁
        Who would you change?

        1. petergriff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Eh? You asked how it looks. You didn't ask what would one change.

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    I think Robbo has a similar explosion up his sleeve imminently

    It will stretch the template to breaking point

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

      Mane + Salah salah double up vs TAA + Robbo double up from GW25 will be a tough decision

    2. faux_C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, TAA is the playmaker for this team. Robbo is a world class fullback, but not on the same level of importance.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        It’s coming Faux_C - of that there is little doubt 😉

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I had both, lost Robbo a couple of weeks ago, That was a hard decision, really like Robbo as a player. Did Robbo>Aurier

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ouch

        The three consecutive cleans in the league is huge

        They’ve started the long overdue “run” to balance the books

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          yea, I can put Robbo back if needs be. Im fully confident that Aurier is going to be exposed as a total flop sooner rather than later. But he is getting points and starts, somehow so I decided to jump on for now. Im not delusional tho, likeliehood of a CS is near on impossible

    4. petergriff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure. I'm sure a few Robertson owners are tempted to switch to TAA.

      Then again, xG tonight was 0.52 vs 0.43 for TAA vs Robertson

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yep that will be the classic FPL Gods troll move

        Folks will do Robbo > TAA, Robbo will go 1G, 1A, 1CS, 3 Bps for an 18 pointer and TAA will tweak his ankle & miss a couple of games to rub salt in the wounds

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          If TAA misses some games, it is easy to sell him for Robbo 😉 Are you Robbo owner?!?

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That is pretty similar with them, the difference is xA.

  18. fc_skrald

    Play Greenwood or Maddison?

      TAA

      ...otherwise go either of them, maybe Goals are a bit more concentrated on Kane while anyone can score for Liverpool, even Klopp I assume.

      1. maverickga
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Mané, ..autocorrect

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

    3. Kellz86
      • 6 Years

      Norwich are the team to bet against, I'm sticking to Kane (c)

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm on Vardy in my bus team because of West ham. Kane 'safer' but I'd go Mane.

    Helloo top 20k, my, this is comfy.

    I've still got to thank Joe for last week's Ings captainship!

    Basically i'm on 59 its this week with 38 coming from TAA and All.

    Anyone else going for Sidibe next week?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I own Pulisic and Abraham 🙁

  26. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Cantwell and Abraham to

    A) Martial, Ayew
    B) Grealish, Ings

  27. Surfeit of Lampteys

    That Arnold haul is such a killer. Bam, out of the cup. Not cool. 4 goals in a Liverpool game, you've got Mané and they've got Arnold- you don't expect to be knocked out in those circumstances. Still, I guess that's the magic of the cup.
