FPL tips: Why you should keep game’s most transferred man Abraham in your plans

Tammy Abraham has been the Fantasy Premier Leagues most transferred player after a breakout season for Chelsea, and while transfers out count towards that total, there are plenty of reasons to keep him in your long-term plans.Over the 2019/20 season the England striker has been transferred in or out almost 10 million times, with his season-high ownership more than 3.5 million coming in gameweek 13.In that time his price has gone from 7m to 8m, before dipping to 7.6m again but who else has endured such ownership changes, and why should you keep the faith in Tammy?Tammys time?Tammy Abraham has been transferred in or out almost 10 million times over the 2019/20 season (Bradley Collyer/PA)Managers couldnt get enough of Abraham at the start of the season, and with seven goals in a three-game stint, you could hardly blame them.Recently however, he has been shunned by a plethora of managers after the goals dried up and injury took its toll.The 22-year-old scored 10 goals in his first 13 gameweeks of the season, notching just three since but his Threat statistics suggest his performance has remained consistent.Threat measures the quality of a players chances, and therefore acts as a barometer for how well they are playing regardless of goal tally.Abrahams tally measured 522 in his first 13 gameweeks and 555 over the weeks since suggesting he was almost certainly overperforming early in the season but has been unlucky to be underperforming since.Abrahams threat has been consistent this season (Joe Giddens/PA)Furthermore, Abrahams price has dropped to 7.6m making him a more appealing prospect.The forward has recently suffered a further injury setback but, with his return date as yet unknown, will be worth keeping an eye on in the coming weeks. Could the leagues most transferred player be crucial in the run-in?Backing De BruyneThe reason Manchester Citys Kevin De Bruyne is so high on this list is his recent popularity, the Belgian owned by more managers than at any stage so far this season (3,983,614).De Bruynes ownership rose and fell earlier in the season, despite consistent performances, before climbing to the point its at now his price rising above 10m probably put a few managers off, but theyre not shying away now.The midfield maestros record of seven FPL assists in his last 10 games, as well as a couple of goals, has been enough to encourage millions to back KDB despite his blank in GW28.After GW28, the Belgians side face Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool before a run of more favourable fixtures. Our advice? Wait until GW33 before banking on De Bruyne.The third biggest mover this season has been Liverpools Sadio Mane, whose ownership fell at a similar rate to Abrahams in recent weeks but is still owned by almost 25 per cent of players.Mane has 160 points this season (Adam Davy/PA)Having only recently returned from an injury himself, the key reason for the 12.3 million forwards declined ownership may well be due to his fellow Reds attacker Mohamed Salah (12.8 million) who has regained the faith of FPL managers with five goals in his last six games.With Mane scoring in his last two though, and favourable fixtures against Watford and Bournemouth up next for Liverpool, both should be rightly treated as hot property.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
