FPL GW8: Johnson, Saliba Leave Managers Feeling Like They Got Robbed
Ugh, another week, another set of FPL nightmares. This time, it was the dreaded "underperformers" who left many managers feeling like they got robbed. Johnson and Saliba, two players many pinned their hopes on, simply didn't deliver the goods in GW8.
What happened?
Johnson, the Brighton star, was brought in by many managers after his previous week's haul. Sadly, he couldn't repeat that magic, leaving many fantasy managers feeling like they'd picked the wrong horse. Saliba, the Arsenal defender, was a popular pick due to his clean sheets and attacking potential. But a red card against Brentford put a big fat zero on his points total, leaving many with a bitter taste in their mouths.
Looking ahead:
Should you ditch Johnson and Saliba now? It's a tough one. Both players are still solid options, but their performance in GW8 definitely raises some questions. For Johnson, Brighton's upcoming fixtures might be a good indicator. For Saliba, the suspension is a real kick in the teeth. He's definitely not a captaincy pick for GW9, but he could be back to his best after that.
The takeaway:
This week's FPL madness just proves one thing: you never know what's going to happen. It's all part of the fun, right? But it's important to keep calm and carry on. Don't let one bad week derail your whole season. Think long-term, analyze the data, and pick your players wisely.
Remember, the FPL rollercoaster ride continues next week. Buckle up, it's going to be wild!
