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.

    Bit peed off about TAA. Seems like it's one step forward two steps back at the moment

    Thinking about Richarlison (useless) > Martial before the Pool game but now might save as I have to get TAA back at earliest possible opportunity. Save looks the best option?

    1 free, 1.4m ITB

    Ramsdale
    Dunk Aurier Kelly
    Salah KDB Alli Grealish Richarlison
    Vardy Rashford

    xx/Greenwood/Rico/Lund

      I feel you... I was going from 23k to 10k before the liverpool game, but not owning TAA now brings me down to 24k....
      Save is good I think. Also have Rich and looking to get rid, but I'll probably do it next week with 2 FT.
      Who would you get rid of to get TAA? Have the same def as you (except Soy for Dunk)

        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers
        Probably Aurier. Means I would be 0.7 short (soon to be 0.8) Not much in that bracket for a Richarlison replacement

  2. simong1
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ings to Rashford for free a good move you reckon?

    1. DeathoftheParty

        Good call. Don't actually have Button yet though, he's just the only 4m I knew off 😛

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

      Defence is the same as what I’ll have a free transfers this GW so that’s a good sign for me and you.
      Wait a minute that’s my exact team apart from foster and Maupay hahahaha

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

    Gazzaniga. Martin.
    Kelly. Lundstram. Rico. Fernández. Reid.
    Mane. KDB. Alli. Moura. Hayden.
    Vardy. Abraham. Rashford.

    Fernández > TAA.....?? Want to keep defence light but TAA is damaging a lot.. So should I bring him in...?? I kept funds for Salah or Sterling but TAA is back... What u say...????

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You have Mane
      Go for TAA

    Big week before wc for me. 69 points as of now and KDB (c) to go tomorrow. Well chuffed!
    Back into ml lead.

  6. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pick one to play:

    A. Rico (bha)
    B. Kelly (sou)
    C. Lundstram (mci)

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

      Kelly

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B might be the only option.

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

  7. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Getting Digne in this week ahead of TAA hurts quite a lot, especially as I agonised over the decision quite a bit. Having logged in to see a gigantic haul for TAA, didn't expect it to come vs Leicester! Anyway, onwards and upwards.

  8. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    My cup opponent triple captained Kane and is now sitting with 52 pts with KDB to go.

    This is the week I'm out of the cup then.

  9. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Probably time to say goodbye to Pope for a while. He's been good to me..

    Damned if I know who for tho???

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Keep then!

    2. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I had the same problem a couple of weeks back. I ended up staying with Pope. Without an obvious replacement it seemed like a wasted transfer.

    3. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I did the same for this GW. Went for Foster, already impressed from his performance today

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

      Ramsdale or Guaita are popular buys

    5. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Most going Ramsdale. I went against the grain with Heaton. 😆

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

      Pope home to Man U then Villa. Could be 10 points from those 2.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        True.. Have 2fts tho with Vertonghen as the more urgent transfer..

    7. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      AVL soon...wait!

    8. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same Boat
      Pickford $$$$
      Ramsdale for fixtures
      Foster or Ryan

  10. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Hanley nailed now fit? Looking for bench fodder

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think so...i’ve kept him all season believe it or not...so he better had be...

  11. Mattymo23
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on Rash and Tammy to Kane and Greenwood?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Greenwood won’t start every game ; huge benching risk.

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

        Good to bench imo. Cheaper than Cantwell and playing for better team. But those 1pt cameos will be annoying.

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

      Tbh worth considering for free, unless you have to start Greenwood.

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

    Got 2 free transfers, so need to use one.

    Team is

    Henderson/Heaton
    TAA/Dunk/Aurier/Lundstram/Söyüncü
    Mane/KDB/Grealish/Cantrell/Alli
    Vardy/Ings/Abraham

    1.1 in the bank

    Mane to Salah?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Soy to Sidibe.

  13. XABI 15
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Transfer out:
    1. Tammy
    2. Jimenez

    Transfer in:
    A. Maupay
    B. Ings
    C. Deulofeu
    D. King

  14. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on Keita as a 3+ week punt? Pool look a bit low on midfield with just Hendo (injury doubt), Genie, Lallana, Milner and Keita competing for 3 spots. He was also subbed off early today meaning he could be in again for the next game

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not a creator at the moment. Risky, will be rotated.

  15. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Plenty selling goalkeepers tonight....so...

    We are all used to XG and XA stats....but what about expected clean sheets.

    Every season we have an amount of expected clean sheets, such as top of the table vs bottom, and an amount of unexpected clean sheets...the other way around.

    The expected clean sheets are a big fat let down whilst the unexpected ones seem to be plentiful.

    Has anybody ever done any stats on that?

    Southampton today being a good example....and Liverpool possibly being an unexpected CS...

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

      Gk:s do get save points on the other hand 😉 And some other unexpected points also. They are usually from fixtures with low cs odds.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I’d be willing to bet the stats are a very complicated picture....a lot of the lower defences are actually as good, and better, than those a the higher end when their teams set up that way. Strange days,

  16. FDMS All Starz

    Would you hold Tammy on a WC?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm on a WC and 99% sure of ditching him.

    2. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If you are, sell now and bring in Sat morning after a likely drop Fri night

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Snow chance.

    4. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      not for me. I'll definitely take him out.

      Playing 352 with wc.

    5. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      On WC and he's leaving my team for rashford

    6. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Depends if you’re getting in Aguero or Kane...

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

      Nope

  17. clempro
    • 8 Years

    Had TAA from GW1, got rid last week.... of course now he hauls. Cruel game

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Similar here. I knew the risks but didn't think he would get such a haul away at Leicester.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      thinking about it but used my 1FT to get TAA back

      hopefully he gets some save points

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping tbh, had from start and could rack up some save points. Cs possible against Arsenal, West ham and fixtures after City are lovely

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

        Not worth getting rid and back imo.

  20. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hi all,

    Is it worth taking a hit to get TAA in, I was all set on doing a simple swap with my GK with my FT but after TAA haul tempted to work him in with a hit... thoughts?? I’m too (just) of my ML and rivals have a mix of Robertson and Trent...

    Henderson
    Aurier Soyuncu Kelly
    KDB Mane Salah Grealish
    Abraham Vardy Jimenez

    McGovern Lundstram Rico Dendoncker

    1 FT, 0 ITB

    1. Henderson >> 4.8 GK
    2. Kelly Tammy >> TAA Greenwood (-4)

    Cheers

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

      2 imo

  21. FPL Bargain
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is it worth going to a below 5.7 budget striker to get Salah in?

    I think there are a few emerging strikers in this category now..Ayew, Matintelli, Greenwood, Calvet-Lewin.

    1. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      CL only one worth considering in that range

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

        At 4.3 I am considering Mason

  22. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is Kelly, Cantwell to TAA, Martial too kneejerky?

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

      TAA is someone you don't take out of your team. He's 7.2 million. If a striker had the same amount of total points as he does, everyone would have him in their teams...

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

    Trent Alexander Arnold.

    That is all.

    Salah was poor tonight. Blip or concern? Not that there’s an obvious replacement. Mané ain’t exactly on fire either, but did look the more threatening of the two.

      give some credit to Leicester - Soyuncu defended him well. Guessing he will unleash the shackles in the coming weeks

        4 years, 3 months ago

        Eh? He created two tap ins ( that were missed). Chilwell was miserable all game.

      He can't score every week lol

        Looked clueless tonight I’m afraid

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

          I don't own but Salah is a dangerous man. Can potentially score a hattrick every game

    3. Bushwhacker

      Mane had a shocker. Salah looked tired.

      Blip imo. And he was very close to score from penalty.

    with City twice and Liverpool over the next 6, is anyone considering ditching Lundstram?
    I guess there's no obvious players at that price but if you have the cash to TAA it could be decent

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      no

      we say what happened tonight when you get rid of an attacking defender!

        He’s still not overly expensive so you can get him back. Trent requires more surgery for those that sold.

        Lundstram vs City and Liverpool will see him as bench fodder in most teams..unlike TAA against anybody...

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe. Most will bench for a few games so perhaps the damage will be limited...the upside may be morel

      If you dont have much cash tied up then for sure. In my case I got him at 4.0 so not worth it really

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

        thats true. their fixtures are ok after that. i bought at 4.7m but to fund TAA it will take 3 moves

    Of course someone out there triple captained trent 🙂

    I like Norwich and I hope they stay up. They play good football and don't just park the bus. But going into the PL and spending only 750k is what will relegate them. Do hope though that they spend some decent money in Jan and can do a great escape.

    1. Bushwhacker

      How much did Sheff Utd spend?

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

        On the flip side, how much did Wolves spend last season.. Norwich were playing with players out of position a lot of this season due to injuries and they've won 1 game in 15 as a result.

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

          14*

        About 50 mil mate

    2. Yank Revolution

      They should go down for being cheapskates...one does not simply walk into the Prem and not spend.

    Suggestions?

    Ryan - Button
    Lundstram - Kelly - Aurier - Söyüncü - Dunk
    KDB - Mané - Salah - Grealish - Cantwell
    Vardy - Tammy - Ings

  29. Scout15

    4 years, 3 months ago

    So, I have 3.2m and 1FT but not sure if this team needs any major correction at the moment.

    Gazza - Henderson
    Soyuncu - Aurier - Sidibe - Lundstram - Kelly
    Salah - Maddison - Alli - Zaha - Luiz
    Vardy - Rashford - Abraham

    What do you think?
    Save or not?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Save for me. Get 2 to get Trent in.

    D. Pogba to Maddison/Martial
    E. Defender of choice for Sidibe.
