The Kneejerks: Recent Episodes
TheKneejerks
Are your knees jerking ahead of the next gameweek? Are you in need of some piping hot stats? Join Dr Tom & Robbie’s weekly review of the latest bandwagons, traps, and punts.
Content with his completion of FPL, Tom begins a new adventure in the form of the Match of the Day challenge. Robbie on the other had, continues his search for enough water to put out the many, many, many fires within his side. Fortunately, Tom's on hand to offer a few fire blankets in the form of words of wisdom
Robbie and Tom are back once again after a break longer than one you'd find in the Bundesliga. Have we seen the rise (or even death) of the traditional fullback? With template #1275 well and truly locked in place, the boys discuss major topics from the last 4 weeks before Robbie attempts the now-infamous quiz.
With the Vardy Party in full swing, Robbie and Tom discuss whether they're fashionably late or showing up at last orders. Is KdB back!? Is bench warmer Chilwell finally viable!? It's form vs fixtures with captaincy options this week with what seems like a clear winner before Tom shows what's on offer in his pound shop and then melts Robbie's brain with yet another stats-based quiz.
To Trent or not to Trent, that is the question. After a week in which we've seen the lowest average points of the seasons and the second coming of Werner (or is it technically the first?) Tom pulls his trigger on his first WC and Salah cemented his place as the no brainer captain choice for this week... or is he?
Tom and Robbie take zero joy in collectively laying into Manchester United, but the question still remains; when's best to bring in Ronaldo? Attention and kudos paid to Brentford as well as plenty handed out across the mini league. It's City vs Liverpool this weekend... Will this friendship (and podcast) survive the fallout?
After a catastrophic week for Robbie, Tom has some work to do in proving the future is, in fact, bright. Will Salah be able to haul against a strong Brentford defence? Who's the new king of the Mini League? ...and will Tom ever bite the bullet and bring in Ronaldo?
After a quiet week for the mid priced assets, is a new template forming around Trent, Ronaldo, Lukaku and Salah? Can we afford to go without these big hitters? Or is this a kneejerk response to one week of action? Only piping hot stats hold the answer!
Refreshed after a gameweek off, its the episode of grand returns. Ronaldo is back in the prem and so early Wildcards are being both considered and triggered.
All aboard the template train! Salah and Bruno explode in gameweek one but which one to pick in gameweek 2? Is Pogba a kneejerk? Which cheap enablers could help you bring in Lukaku? And will robbie finally get a question right in this week’s quiz?
How much can you read into pre-season? Tom & Robbie assess the best options for each team & price for the upcoming season, reviewing last season’s best stat-busters and the hidden gems that popped up in pre-season.
