Neil faces the press after Gameweek 6.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Sources close to the squad describe your transfer strategy as 'vibes, mostly'. Care to deny it?
SnarkyRed Lobster FC replies
Deny it? I'd frame it. 'Vibes, mostly' is going on the club crest.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Does your captaincy policy maximise expected points, or minimise regret when the template goes the other way?
EgotistRed Lobster FC replies
My captain is chosen by me, so he is correct. The points merely catch up.
Haaland Captain12 pts (6 × 2)
João Pedro: 12 pts. Swapping the armband gains 12 pts so far.
Vice-captain: Raya, 3 pts
2 ptsleft on the bench

1still to play
9 of 10 have played. 1 player's points still to come, armband included.
Closest to the +2 DefCon bonus: 10 defensive contributions in a match for a defender, 12 for a midfielder or forward.

Scored more than the average manager in 2 of 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 59.8 a week through GW5. High point: GW2 with 101. Low point: GW5 with 33.
The RookieAsks daftly
So, Red Lobster FC, the idea is to get more points than the other managers. Is that right?
IQ 150+Red Lobster 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.

Worked out from your transfer history (up to 5 can be banked), so FPL's own count has the final word. 4 made this season, and not a single hit taken.
