FPL GW8 Stats: Johnson, Saliba Underwhelm, But Who's Got the Midas Touch?

Gameweek 8 in Fantasy Premier League was a rollercoaster, with some big names failing to deliver and some unexpected heroes emerging. We're taking a look at the key takeaways, including the disappointments of Johnson and Saliba and highlighting the players who truly shone.

Let's start with the bad news:

Johnson's underwhelming performance against Chelsea was a major letdown for managers who had high hopes for the West Ham forward. He failed to register a single point, which will likely have sent many FPL managers scrambling for alternative options.

Similarly, Saliba's performance against Tottenham was far from impressive, with a mere 2 points to his name. He simply didn't offer the attacking threat or defensive solidity that many had anticipated.

So who saved the day?

Rodrigo emerged as a hero in the Leeds attack, racking up an impressive 13 points. He seems to be hitting his stride after a few quiet weeks, making him a potential bargain pick for your FPL squad.

Other players who surprised with their performance include:

• Watkins, with a massive 15 points from his Aston Villa game, could be a key player in the weeks to come.
• Mitoma, with 12 points for Brighton, is definitely worth considering.

The biggest takeaway from this gameweek? Don't get too attached to any one player. FPL is a constantly evolving landscape, and a player's hot streak can end just as quickly as it began.

Here's a tip for you:

Stay on top of the latest stats and form. Don't be afraid to swap out players if they're not performing, even if they're a big-name player. Trust your gut and keep your eye on the prize - that elusive top 10k finish!
