   The Knee Jerk – Wonders Never Cisse

   Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Mark

   The man’s a machine. Nine goals in eight games have lifted Papiss Cisse to the verge of essential status in Fantasy terms, as those who are yet to jump on board the bandwagon are left fumbling and fretting on the curb side, wondering if they’ve left it too late to buy a ticket.

   The Knee Jerk – Slipping Away?

   Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Mark

   A breathless day. City’s late salvo may have saved face but the 3-3 Etihad draw with Sunderland loosens their grip further, priming United to take advantage in Monday night’s Ewood encounter. Fantasy managers will have a keen interest…

   The Knee Jerk – Expect the Unexpected

   Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Sir Paulos

   Twice. That’s how many times –prior to today- that Robin Van Persie had failed to score or assist in an Arsenal win this season. Once at home, back in Gameweek 4 in a 1-0 win over Swansea, and once on the road, in a 2-1 triumph at Sunderland in Gameweek 25. With the Gunners on [...]

   You can tell it’s been a bad day when you find yourself clinging to the comfort from a late assist from an Arsenal loanee. And yet, on a Saturday of paltry Fantasy returns and double disappointment from Liverpool, a slither of skill from Ryo Miyaichi that picked the lock of the QPR defence, stood out [...]

   The Knee Jerk – Harsh Lessons

   Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Mark

   We should have known better. Back in Gameweek 10, when Arsenal visited Stamford Bridge we turned our backs on other heavyweight temptations and kept faith with Robin Van Persie in the Scout Picks. He repaid us with a hat-trick. Ever since Van Persie has done more than enough to ensure that we never doubted his [...]

   The Knee Jerk – Only the Brave

   Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Mark

   Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Papiss Cisse, Kevin Doyle, Pavel Pogrebnyak, Peter Odemwingie and James Morrison – these were the protagonists from Saturday’s Fantasy events so far. Of that bunch, only Odemwingie can claim more than 3% Fantasy Premier League ownership. All eyes now turn to the Etihad where Sergio Aguero and David Silva carry the [...]

   The Knee Jerk- Patience

   Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Sir Paulos

   Amidst all the lunchtime controversy, it was, perhaps, easy to overlook Wayne Rooney’s display at Old Trafford. While the Suarez-Evra shows no sign of abating, Rooney’s brace lifted United back to the summit and brought him firmly back into Fantasy considerations, setting the tone for Emmanuel Adebayor’s performance this evening…
