Johnson, Solanke Underwhelm in FPL GW8: A Week of Disappointment
Ugh, another week, another let down. You're probably feeling like me right now, staring at your FPL score and wondering if you'll ever catch a break. This week, it was Johnson and Solanke who left many fantasy managers feeling like they'd been sold a dud. Both players were tipped to be big points scorers, but they turned out to be massive disappointments, leaving many with an FPL headache instead of a winning score.
The hype was real. Johnson, playing for a strong Bournemouth side, looked like a real goal threat. He was scoring consistently, even if it was against weaker opposition. Fans were hyped, managers were excited, and the transfer market was buzzing. Solanke, on the other hand, was playing for a less-than-stellar team. But he was getting chances, and with his reputation as a clinical finisher, he was on a lot of watchlists.
But the reality was brutal. Neither player delivered. Johnson was anonymous against a strong Brentford side, with little opportunity to show his skills. Solanke, despite some promising runs, couldn't find the back of the net. He was unlucky at times, but ultimately, he was a frustrating watch for his owners.
So what now? It's a tough call. It's too early to completely write off either player. But it's worth keeping in mind that both were expensive, and their performance this week wasn't inspiring confidence. If you're considering a transfer, it might be time to think again. There are other players out there who are looking good, and maybe it's time to switch your focus.
Remember, FPL is all about making the right calls, and this week, it was a lesson in patience and adaptability. Next week is a fresh start, and there's always a chance for redemption. So chin up, keep your head in the game, and remember, the magic of FPL is that anything can happen. Good luck!
