FPL GW8: Johnson & Saliba Owners Feeling the Blues
Ugh, another week, another set of FPL nightmares! This time, the pain is hitting Johnson and Saliba owners hard. Let's face it, if you're in that boat, you're probably feeling a bit like you've been thrown under the bus.
The Big Letdown
The problem? Johnson, who was looking like a real steal for a while, just didn't deliver this week. He blanked, which isn't ideal, but it's the fact that he was out-performed by other budget defenders that really stings. It's a tough pill to swallow when you're hoping for a decent return from your captain.
Saliba, on the other hand, had a different issue: he was rested by Arteta. Now, I get it, rotation is a thing, but it's hard to stomach when you've picked a defender based on his strong form and then he's left on the bench. It's like being promised a delicious cake and then getting a soggy biscuit instead.
So What Now?
It's time for some tough decisions. Do you hold on to these guys, hoping for a rebound in the coming weeks? Or do you cut your losses and move on to someone else? The pressure is on to make the right choice, especially if you're struggling to climb up the FPL ranks.
It's worth considering:
- Johnson's fixtures: Are they looking good in the coming weeks? If so, maybe hold on for a bit longer.
- Saliba's minutes: Will he be back in the starting XI soon? If not, it might be time to find a replacement.
- The transfer market: Are there any other budget defenders out there who look tempting?
Ultimately, it's your FPL journey, and you need to do what you feel is best. But hey, at least we're all in this together, right? Let's get those green arrows and hopefully next week will be better!
