FPL GW8: Johnson, Solanke Leave Us Wanting More
The disappointment is real, folks. We all know the feeling: you painstakingly craft your FPL team, picking players based on form, fixtures, and a healthy dose of gut feeling. But sometimes, even the best-laid plans go awry. This week, it was the turn of Callum Wilson and Dominic Solanke to leave us with a bitter taste in our mouths.
Let's rewind a bit. Johnson, a popular pick thanks to his recent goalscoring form, had a quiet outing against a stubborn Bournemouth defense. He missed a golden chance in the first half and ultimately ended the match with a measly two points. Solanke, who was tipped to be a differential pick, didn't even make it onto the scoresheet. He managed just one shot on target in the whole match.
The frustration is palpable. We were hoping for a big haul from both players, but they simply failed to deliver. It's a reminder that FPL can be a fickle beast, with surprises lurking around every corner.
What's the takeaway? Well, it's not all doom and gloom. While Johnson and Solanke disappointed this week, they remain solid options for the long haul. Their underlying stats suggest that they'll be back in form soon enough.
Moving forward, let's learn from our mistakes. Don't be afraid to switch things up if a player isn't performing. FPL is all about adapting and making the right calls. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint!
And who knows, maybe next week we'll be celebrating another big haul from our favorite strikers. Fingers crossed!
