FPL GW8: Johnson, Saliba Owners Feeling the Blues
Ugh, another week, another set of FPL nightmares! This time, the heartbreak was reserved for those who rode the Johnson and Saliba hype train. Let's dive into the reasons why so many managers are feeling a little blue after GW8.
Johnson's Woes: A Case of the Wrong Tactics?
Johnson, the promising young forward from Newcastle, was a popular pick this week. His goalscoring prowess and recent form had FPL managers salivating. But alas, the "magic" never materialized. He was subbed off early against Bournemouth, leaving his owners empty-handed.
Was it the tactics? The opponent? Or just a bad day at the office? We might never know for sure, but one thing's clear: Johnson's ownership plummeted after his lackluster performance.
Saliba's Setback: A Defensive Disaster
Saliba, the defensive rock of Arsenal, had been a mainstay in most FPL teams. But his clean sheet streak came to an abrupt end against Liverpool. Not only did he fail to keep a clean sheet, but he also conceded a goal to the Reds' fearsome attack.
This was a double whammy for Saliba owners, who were banking on his defensive solidity. The loss of points, combined with the fear of further defensive lapses, left many reconsidering their faith in the French defender.
What's Next?
The disappointment is real, but it's important to remember that FPL is a marathon, not a sprint. Johnson and Saliba are still strong players with potential, and their owners should not panic after one bad week.
The key is to analyze the situation, make informed decisions, and maybe even find a new hero. Who knows, maybe next week's FPL heartbreak will be reserved for someone else!
