Alex faces the press after Gameweek 6.
The RookieAsks daftly
So, BruceBall, the idea is to get more points than the other managers. Is that right?
SnarkyBruceBall replies
Yes. Well done. Shall I read the next question to you as well?
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Sources close to the squad describe your transfer strategy as 'vibes, mostly'. Care to deny it?
IQ 150+BruceBall replies
I would call it Bayesian: a strong prior, aggressive updating, and an affective heuristic that occasionally beats the model. 'Vibes' is the layman's term.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
77 points in Gameweek 6. How much of that is signal and how much is variance, and what would the confidence interval on your process look like?
Invented for fun: nobody was really asked anything.

Scored more than the average manager in 1 of 3 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 51.3 a week through GW5. High point: GW4 with 75. Low point: GW5 with 36.

Very narrow, because I am rarely wrong. The rest of the league is the variance.

Worked out from your transfer history (up to 5 can be banked), so FPL's own count has the final word. 0 made this season, and not a single hit taken.
