Troubles aplenty? Or simply fine? (7)

I believe the answer is:

penalty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'simply fine?' is the definition.
'penalty' can be an answer for 'fine?' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'simply' bit.

'troubles aplenty?' is the wordplay.
'troubles' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'troubled' mean this).
'aplenty' anagrammed gives 'PENALTY'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for penalty that I've seen before include "Perhaps fine" , "Spot kick" , "Disadvantage imposed" , "Fine - handicap" , "kick by footballer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
