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.

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      reasoning for Kelly over Rico?

  3. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Greenwood seems a bit of BAPs magnet! Any chance he's now in the XI or do we think Lingard/James come back in?

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

      90 mins yesterday means he is probably benched for GW20

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, hopefully if he keeps turning out performances like that he'll be a nailed starter

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He wont be a consistent starter this season but what a talent the kid is!

    Which WC team do you prefer

    Ryan --- Button
    Taa Lundy Soy -- Rico Kelly
    Kdb Salah XXX XXX -- Romeu
    Vardy Ings XXX

    A: Grealish + Alli + Rashford
    B: Grealish + Sterling + Pukki/Maupay
    C: Maddison + Sterling + Ayew
    D: Maddison + Sterling + Greenwood and upgrade Kelly > Sidibe to play 442

    1. maratus
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would upgrade Romeu to playing 4.4m mid.
      From these options A seems just slightly better than the others.

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

      I’m pretty much on A without WC but I dropped Trent for Rico and have Grealish instead of Romeu.

      Means my defence is basically 13m but my mid is making up for it - except when Trent explodes.

      So don’t do that.

      1. benbro
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Omg!

  5. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Are you benching Lundstram (mci) this GW?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. JRO093
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yup

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

      Yes. But I expect a lot of my players to be benched including KDB, Vardy, Cantwell, Aurier and Greenwood so may need him off the bench.

    4. Party time
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah man. Even God rested

      • jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        didnt you just post this lol, I've double SHU defence and am leaning towards benching both but feels wrong for some reason!

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

          Yeah - didn't see that it had as many responses. Think there is little chance of a clean sheet so might be worth the risk if you have someone decent who can come in.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            leaning towards starting Rico & Pope over Lundy & Hendo

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

              Have Rico (BHA) or Targett (wat) as options for Lundstram

              1. jia you
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                fancy a WAT one nil in that but hard to call tbf and may be biased owning Cathcart 😉

      • Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Even The Lord might need a rest - I seem to remember Wilder has hinted that they'll all have a rest at some stage.

      • benbro
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        The thing with Lund is to consider him an extra mid.

        They’ll concede of course but if they score he will likely be involved.

        Can’t see Wilder holding him back.

    5. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Willems Abraham => Simpson Firmino -4?

      Pope
      TAA Soyuncu Willems Kelly Lund
      Salah KDB Grealish Alli Nakamba
      Vardy Rashford Abraham

    6. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      1ft. Henderson to...

      A) Ramsdale
      B) Guata
      C) Ryan

      First to 2.

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

        A

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

      Think Im selling Rashford.

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

        Ballsy when he is probably guaranteed to start GW20. Can't be said of many.

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

          Fine by me. I dont think Burnley will be a easy nut to crack.

      2. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        dont see the logic in that, he's in good form and 7 out of the next 8 fixtures look good

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

          maybe, But I want to add Salah to Mane. I wont (c) Rashy again after yesterday. Martial the better value but no space at the Inn.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            yeah, do agree its hard to trust any MUN asset with the armband but there's no need to on the other hand. Feel Salah + Mane is a bit much myself until GW25 perhaps but go with your gut!

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

              yep. I dont trust Martial and 9m is too much for Rashy. After watching Livp yesterday Im not going without Mane + Salah.

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

        Who for? Upgrade or down?

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

          Part of a 3 trade -4 to get:

          Maddi+Tammy+Rashy->Salah+Ings+5.7m?

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

            2 cheapish strikers. You planning to play them every game or rotate?

            DCL is 5.7

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

              Ings had his rest and will play every week. Besides he is fixture proof.

              Ayew has: south/nor/ARS/city*/SOUTH/SHEF/eve/NEW...nothing wrong there either other than city(a)

              As you say DCL is an option as well.

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

                Yeh Ayew has been quietly ticking over.

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

                Cantwell(BOURNE) perfect for Ayew bench in 23

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

            Or even Greenwood if you think he’ll get more starts.

          3. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Maupay?

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

              nah, not going there again. Besides, Salah rise has me 0.1m short for Maupay

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

            How soon do you plan on using your wildcard?

            I don’t personally like Ings for the fixtures and that he has over performed IMO.

            I’m keeping maddi so getting rid is almost certainly the best move

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

              2nd WC will not be used soon. No need.

      4. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Im also tempted.
        Fixtures aren't the best now.

    8. MiLK2018
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Which transfer is better? Have 2 FT

      A) Rico -> Sidibe
      B) Grealish -> Martial
      C) Hold

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

        A or C

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

        Do you have no other issues?

        I quite like A if nothing else pressing.

        1. Manani
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          What's wrong with Rico? Or just getting Everton coverage?

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

            Nothing is wrong with Rico. That’s why I asked “any other issues?”

            Everton looked good defensively and Sidibe playing as a midfielder. Could be worth a go. Personally I’m waiting until after we play City.

        2. MiLK2018
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Don’t want to transfer other players currently, as rest of team is:
          Guaita/Button
          TAA/Lundstrum/Aurier/Söyüncü/Rico
          Mane/KDB/Alli/Maddison/Grealish
          Vardy/Abraham/Greenwood
          £1.7 itb;

          Any other move you suggest?

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

            Hmm.
            Are you happy with Abraham?

            1. MiLK2018
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Not really, but don’t see any outstanding replacement...

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

                It’s a difficult one.
                Burn it if your happy.

                Button > Martin?
                Söyüncü or Rico > Sidibe/Holgate?

          Was frustrating but the rest should mean he starts vs Wolves so will give him a second shot with the armband.

            Was thinking dropping Tammy. Connerly?

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Maddy to 4.4 and Hanley to TAA

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

          You have 5 good mids and 3 good forwards.
          You cant field them anyway same time.

          Pick one to downgrade. This is almost easiest team to bring TAA in.

          1. ‘Tis the Season
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Is it best to downgrade Maddy

            1. maratus
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I would downgrade Tammy

          Tammy to Greenwood

          1. ‘Tis the Season
            • 5 Years

            Not sure there’s value there having rash. Any alternative?

            1. maratus
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Do you have enough funds to do Tammy-> Ayew and then upgrade hanley?

              1. ‘Tis the Season
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Bugger top idea but no 0.1 short

        5. mikess

          Ditch Tammy upgrade Soy depending on when you got him in. Maddison next out i feel if you want to keep Tammy

        6. ‘Tis the Season

          Thx all for the valued advice. Really appreciate it

        I really sense a huge Kane haul for gw20.
        Could definitely turn fpl on its head!

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

          I see a haul in GW21. His record in the game after Boxing Day isn't as good.

        Aguero likely to be benched then? Pep always bigs up players when he is about to bench them,

          I wouldn’t take a -4 for that.

        1. Lord of Ings
          • 8 Years

          Both 65 a piece I think.

        2. PL Ball

              • 12 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Bad idea to get rid of Ings imo. Just had his rest, I fantastic form and up against Palace.

              1. Hazardous1983
                • 13 Years

                Im planning to get ings in. In place of abraham

          I’d hold. Decent looking team for this week (where anyone could be benched)

          1. Hazardous1983
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Whose the safest captain then

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

              Grealish won’t be benched. He’s the safest

      17. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Salah looks like the safest captian choice right? Went off early last night.

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

          Looks like he’ll play

        2. SB8
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yes!

        3. PL Ball
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yup. Rashford another one.

          Kane will definitely start too.

        4. Hazardous1983
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Dont own him 🙁

        What to do here? TAA saved me yesterday up to top 17k...

        Henderson (Button)
        TAA, Lord, Soy, Tomori*, Kelly
        KDB, Cantwell, Pulisic, Alli, Maddison
        Vardy, Abraham, Rashford.

        1FT 3.2 ITB

        Currently thinking Tomori to Sidibe

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Pulisic stands out. 7 weeks without a return. Abysmal form.

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

            Agreed he has to go, but I think he has a good chance at playing this week.

            1. Royal5
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Probably. Yesterdays team looked awful.

              1. Royal5
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                I'd consider saving the FT. Coud be useful next week.

        2. Big boy Bowen

          I'd be looking to wait and use that money to get Son back

            That’s 3 GW’s away and a bit of a mixed bag in fixtures.

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years

              Abraham to Kane 🙂

      19. Big boy Bowen

        Anyone know why Romeu was nailed but recently minutes have been spotty? Did he get injured?
