I suppose I just see the fact they were both missed and to have a keeper have the chance at getting a save from two missed penalties has been lost.

The opportunity has been lost, but I feel like your logic implies that it is preferable for a keeper with an outstanding clean sheet (at any stage in the game) is at a positive expectation when facing a penalty.


Nobody wants their keeper to face a penalty, because if we remove off target penalties from the list of possible options for a penalty, you're still sitting on a negative expectation from your keeper.


I can't accept the notion that if penalties being off target was no longer an option, that Johnstone has a points expectation of anywhere near 10 points.

Scorpion Sting

Look I completely understand that Johnstone is also really lucky not to concede from two penalties.

My main point was that the chance of his points not being maximised or even half-maximised from two missed penalties has been lost.

I'm the type of FPL player who just wants more in these situations if I have a keeper facing a penalty, it's the way I've always been.

Pereira subbed

Started him ahead of Watkins...not looking too clever now

Funny thing is though, he outscored Gundogan so far this week, and matched his returns last week.

Maybe it is just me, and don't want to sound harsh, but complaining about this or another poster having Cancelo and not being happy with him scoring are the two most bizarre opinions posted today.

He had two penalties against him. None scored. None saved. Clean sheet is good, no?

Let's be reasonable.


How can you be annoyed by this.

Stones and I never said I wasn't happy about it just it didn't really make any difference for me. Everyone around me in leagues im in has Stones/Cancelo Dias Gudogan.

So the fact I don't have Dias whatever Stones did for me today won't really make a difference.

I can also understand about the penos. Ya clean sheet after 2 penalties is all that matters but all he was saying was it's mad that a team would miss two penos and the keeper didn't save any. That's what I was afraid of straight away when I saw two penos missed cause would have been extra points given.

Anyway we all feel different emotions during the games that's what makes it fun in here don't want to have to get into petty arguments with people like bull**** goes on between people in the Soccer forum.

I have Bamford and Martinez in this game. I guess I should be hoping for a Martinez pen save which would put me in positive territory in that situation.

See what I mean folks, maximise those points!

At least somebody sees my point, cheers.

Deliberated for ages whether to go Johnstone or Areola but I just thought to myself.... West Brom are terrible at the back

The team's at the bottom seem to of really improved at least at the back in a lot of there games.

It's not scoring goals consistently that's gonna send them down.

Not sure where you're getting that from

West Brom 1 CS before that just so happend to be a 0-0 draw against Burnley which most people probably expected to be low scoring.

Sheff 0 CS recently unless you're counting against Bristol in a cup.

Newcastle 0 CS recently.

Fulham Improved a lot.

Feel like your comment is such a throwaway comment.

That’s like someone earlier said that he wanted lots of Leeds players even though they have the single game because they are flying. They’ve lost 3 of their last 5!

I'm with you on that one.
I'd be hoping for at least one save also tbh despite being delighted with 10 pts if I owned him

whilst 10 is a good score 15 would be so much sweeter

Emi save point

hawaii501

I kinda agree if I just saw the result and saw there was 2 penalty misses I'd be a little disappointed that at least one wasn't saved for fantasy reasons but if you were watching obviously you couldn't feel hard done by and be very happy you got a clean sheet as he was never saving either penalty...

ThunbergsAreGo

BB worth three Leeds seems a poor choice at the moment......

That could be copied and pasted into every match day thread at this stage

Yes at least got the Watkins assist, was tossing and turning whether to play him or not.

I guess I was basing it on points the defenders and keepers seem to be getting on some the teams in bottom half has improved. Johnstone is popular pick for example. Brighton had a good run going for clean sheets as well and Fulham have improved.

Newcastle and Sheffield not so much apart from them having the odd game.

Up there with the ‘Stones/Dias have scored more than they have conceded in the 16 matches they have started together this season’ quote earlier.

Martinez on the 3 points now!
