FPL GW8: Johnson, Solanke leave new owners disappointed
Ugh, another week of FPL agony! This time, it was the new signings who let us down. We all had high hopes for those shiny new toys, but Johnson and Solanke just didn't deliver.
Let's be honest, we were all pumped for them. Johnson, especially, had been touted as a game-changer for his new club. He'd looked super sharp in pre-season, and we were all ready to reap the rewards of our early transfers. But it just didn't happen. He was quiet all game, and his performance was pretty underwhelming.
Solanke also failed to deliver. We were expecting goals, loads of goals, but he was just invisible most of the match. It was frustrating to watch, especially after all those promises about his scoring potential.
It's not all doom and gloom, though. We still have plenty of time to turn things around. These are just early setbacks, and we can't get too discouraged by one bad week. We'll just have to keep plugging away and hope for better results next time.
Let's look at some key takeaways from GW8:
- New signings don't always hit the ground running. It takes time for players to adjust to a new team and find their form.
- Don't get too caught up in hype. Listen, we all get excited about new players, but it's important to be realistic about their potential.
- FPL is a rollercoaster. We'll have good weeks and bad weeks. Just hang in there!
