FPL: Johnson, Solanke Blank in GW8, Owners Left Feeling Like a "Blank" Canvas
Ugh, Gameweek 8 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) was a real rollercoaster. For many of us, the highs were high and the lows were low. But for owners of Bournemouth's Dango Ouattara and Dominic Solanke, the weekend felt like a total blank canvas. Both players went the whole game without a single point, leaving their FPL managers feeling, well, pretty blank themselves.
The Drought Continues for Bournemouth's Attackers
Let's face it, Bournemouth have been struggling to find their rhythm this season. They've been pretty tight at the back, but their attacking game has been lacking, to put it mildly. This week, they faced a pretty tough test against the in-form Wolves, and it wasn't a surprise when they didn't score a single goal. This meant a blank score for Solanke, who has been a real star for the Cherries in previous seasons.
Ouattara was a bit of a mystery this week. He's been flying in recent games, but he looked invisible against Wolves. He was expected to be a big point scorer, especially after his incredible performance last week, but sadly it just wasn't meant to be.
Should FPL Managers Be Concerned?
So, what does this mean for FPL managers? Should we be worried about Solanke and Ouattara? Well, it's definitely not time to hit the panic button. The lack of goals this week is just a bump in the road for these two players. They've both shown real promise, and I'm sure they'll bounce back soon.
But it's definitely something to keep an eye on. If Bournemouth continue to struggle to score, it might be time to consider swapping these players out.
Time to Look for Alternatives?
The beauty of FPL is that it's constantly evolving. There's always a new star waiting to emerge. With Bournemouth's attacking woes, it might be time to scout some alternative forwards who are on fire. Maybe someone like Erling Haaland? Or maybe Ivan Toney? The options are endless.
So, don't despair if you're feeling blank after GW8. It's all part of the FPL rollercoaster. Just remember to keep your head up and stay optimistic. There's always a chance to turn things around. Good luck in the next gameweek!
