ManagerPhillip Lopez
Phillip 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?
SnarkySaka la bolsita replies
Both. Neither. I hand the armband to whoever's name I can spell under pressure.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Critics call Saka la bolsita 'a group chat that was handed a budget'. Your response?
EgotistSaka la bolsita replies
A group chat I run, I might add. Admin rights are non-negotiable.

Scored more than the average manager in 4 of 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 67.8 a week through GW5. High point: GW2 with 102. Low point: GW5 with 48.
The RookieAsks daftly
Quick one, Phillip: which of your players is the goalie again? The tall one?
IQ 150+Saka la bolsita 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.
Invented for fun: nobody was really asked anything.
Available, but their match is over and they did not play:
