In a recent Premier League encounter between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, striker Alexander Isak was substituted in the 86th minute.
This move, while not directly confirmed for causing a yellow card in this match, has nonetheless led to a significant discussion among Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players.
Isak’s early exit from the game potentially impacted his FPL points, dropping his score from a possible high to a lower tally. This incident has left many FPL managers frustrated, especially those who had banked on Isak’s performance for their team’s success.
The substitution, typical in football for tactical reasons or player management, underscores the unpredictable nature of fantasy sports where every minute on the pitch counts.
