The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Does your captaincy policy maximise expected points, or minimise regret when the template goes the other way?
EgotistGP FC replies
My captain is chosen by me, so he is correct. The points merely catch up.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Critics call GP FC 'a group chat that was handed a budget'. Your response?
SnarkyGP FC replies
At least the group chat is funnier than your column. And it replies faster.

Scored more than the average manager in 2 of 5 weeks, before hits. Hits not shown: GW5 cost 16.
Averaging 49.0 a week through GW5. High point: GW4 with 71. Low point: GW1 with 33.
The RookieAsks daftly
So, GP FC, the idea is to get more points than the other managers. Is that right?
IQ 150+GP FC replies
In the first-order sense, yes, though strictly we maximise points under a budget constraint and a transfer cost. You have just described the objective function.
Invented for fun: nobody was really asked anything.

Most wasted in GW2: 15 pts.
Not counted: GW5 (Bench Boost, when the bench's points count).
