Let
$\alpha :\,G\,\curvearrowright \,M$ be a spatial action of a countable abelian group on a “spatial” von Neumann algebra 
$M$ and let 
$S$ be its unital subsemigroup with 
$G\,=\,{{S}^{-1}}S$. We explicitly compute the essential commutant and the essential fixed-points, modulo the Schatten 
$p$-class or the compact operators, of the 
${{w}^{*}}$-semicrossed product of $M$ by $S$ when 
${{M}^{'}}$ contains no non-zero compact operators. We also prove a weaker result when $M$ is a von Neumann algebra on a finite dimensional Hilbert space and 
$\left( G,\,S \right)\,=\,\left( \mathbb{Z},\,{{\mathbb{Z}}_{+}} \right)$, which extends a famous result due to Davidson (1977) for the classical analytic Toeplitz operators.
