FPL GW8: Johnson & Solanke Flop, But Don't Panic Just Yet!
Let's be honest, folks. Gameweek 8 was a bit of a snoozefest for some of us Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers. We were all hyped about the potential of Callum Wilson and Dominic Solanke, but the goals just weren't there. **And, honestly, it's starting to feel like ** "Johnson is the new James Maddison" – meaning, we're starting to see a pattern of inconsistency.
What happened?
Well, Newcastle played Manchester United, a team that's pretty good at defending these days. And, Bournemouth had a tough match against Liverpool, who are, well, Liverpool. So, it's not like these guys were playing against pushovers.
But the bigger picture?
Don't give up on these guys just yet! Wilson is still a top striker in the league, and Solanke has shown real promise in the past. Sometimes, the best players go through dry spells.
So, what can we do?
First, let's not overreact. Hold onto these players for a few more weeks and see how they perform. Second, keep an eye on the fixture list. Maybe they have some easier games coming up? Third, think about their underlying stats. Are they creating chances, getting into good positions? If the answer is yes, they're probably just a bit unlucky right now.
The bottom line?
Don't jump ship just yet. These guys are still talented, and they could bounce back in a big way. Just remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint. And, hey, we've all been there, right? We've all had players we thought were going to be absolute stars, only to see them disappoint. It's part of the game.
Now, let's all take a deep breath and get ready for Gameweek 9!
