I think it was both. Chelsea have a horrible fixture compression (as do City & Liverpool) and with James having done both hamstrings recently, one after the other, Chelsea were/are bound to be careful with him; another hamstring pull and that's probably his season done. So you were taking a risk at the very least.Sutter Kane wrote:I wonder if it was a bad decision to bring him in, or a bad outcome, or both...
Against that, his potential when he plays is obvious. So I can understand why someone would take that risk.
What is catastrophic (and it works that way in FPL sometimes) is that you appear to have owned this player only when he was injured and to have missed all his hauls, using multiple FTs in the process. That's just misfortune really, because the player is good but your timing has been awful.
Here's a lovely, old anecdote by Gerard Hoffnung from his 1958 address to the Oxford Union, don't know if you ever heard it? But it shows, at least, that you are not the only one to have endured such a chain of events.
