Could Sam Johnstone be this years #FPL hero like Pope or Etheridge?

I think he MIGHT be. Few reasons.

1. He has a 1 in 3 penalty saving record. Since 2010 he’s faced 24 penalties, saving 8 of them.

2. Penalty saves are rewarded so highly in FPL. If a keeper saves one he’s basically guaranteed 3 bonus. Not sure I agree with it but it’s a thing.

3. He is going to rack up the save points. It’s no secret #WBA aren’t a defensive giant. He’ll be active.

4. WBA’s rich history of producing excellent 4.5. There is a reason why @FFScout_Joe’s favourite goalkeeper is Ben Foster. Who can forget his partner in crime Boaz Myhill too.

5. His pink kit looks nice and vibrant on the page.
