gian faces the press after Gameweek 6.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Does your captaincy policy maximise expected points, or minimise regret when the template goes the other way?
EgotistGaucho F.C. replies
My captain is chosen by me, so he is correct. The points merely catch up.
The RookieAsks daftly
Quick one, gian: which of your players is the goalie again? The tall one?
IQ 150+Gaucho F.C. replies
Goalkeepers are the lowest-variance asset in the squad: clean sheets and saves, the fewest points per million. Height is incidental. The gloves are diagnostic.
B.Fernandes Captain2 pts (1 × 2)
De Cuyper: 15 pts. Swapping the armband gains 28 pts so far.
Vice-captain: Haaland, 6 pts

The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Critics call Gaucho F.C. 'a group chat that was handed a budget'. Your response?
SnarkyGaucho F.C. replies
At least the group chat is funnier than your column. And it replies faster.
Invented for fun: nobody was really asked anything.
