FPL: Johnson, Solanke Fail to Deliver in GW8
Ugh, it's another week, another frustrating FPL result. This time, it's the big names letting us down – Johnson and Solanke. They were both hot picks for many managers this week, but they both flopped harder than a wet fish.
So, what went wrong? Let's break it down.
Johnson's Woes: A Defensive Nightmare
Johnson was a popular captain pick this week, especially after his impressive performance in GW7. However, his defensive struggles were exposed against a high-flying attack. He was all over the place, making costly mistakes and looking shaky throughout. Not only did he not score, but he also conceded a penalty which cost his team points. Ouch!
Solanke's Silent Night: Lost in the Shadow of the Attack
Solanke was another popular choice, but he never really got going. He looked isolated up top, with very little service from his teammates. There were a couple of promising moments, but ultimately he was a ghost in the game. It was a disappointing performance from a player who's been in good form lately.
What Does This Mean for FPL Managers?
The reality is that FPL is a fickle beast. One week, a player is the hero, the next, they're a zero. The key is to stay calm, analyze, and adjust. Should we dump Johnson and Solanke? Maybe. But consider their future fixtures. If they're facing easier opponents, they could bounce back.
The FPL Rollercoaster: It's All Part of the Game
Let's face it, FPL is a rollercoaster ride. There will be highs and lows, unexpected turns, and heart-breaking moments. The trick is to ride it out, and hopefully, we'll all be celebrating those green arrows in the end!
