“I had him in my FPL ffs”, “Terrible gameweek” – FPL fans in disbelief as gesture from Arsenal superstar in Crystal Palace win robs them off points

FPL fans are losing their minds after seeing Bukayo Saka allow Martin Odegaard to take the winning penalty in Arsenal's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace.

The Gunners sealed an impressive victory against Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday (August 21) night. They did so by having to play with 10 men for the last 20 minutes of the game.

However, Odegaard's 53rd-minute penalty proved decisive, with the Norweigan cooly sending Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone the wrong way. The Arsenal captain wouldn't usually be taking the spot kick.

That honor would usually fall to Saka as he was the side's penalty kick-taker throughout last season. However, the young forward's last spot-kick attempt brings back sad memories for the north Londoners.

Saka squandered a golden opportunity to put his side 3-1 up against West Ham United last season when he missed a penalty. Mikel Arteta's side were in the midst of a title race with Manchester City and they ended up drawing 2-2 with the Hammers, which ultimately felt like a defeat.

Hence, the English attacker might have given up penalty-taking duties and handed them to his captain Odegaard. This is much to the frustration of FPL fans who captained Saka into their team.

Saka comes at a price of £8.6 million on FPL but with good reason, given his past season. He accumulated 202 points after bagging 14 goals and 11 assists in 38 league games.

However, FPL fans didn't get the chance to improve their scores as Saka didn't take tonight's penalty. One fan vented their frustrations:
