Jose faces the press after Gameweek 6.
The RookieAsks daftly
So, szobamela, the idea is to get more points than the other managers. Is that right?
IQ 150+szobamela 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.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
57 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?
Egotistszobamela replies
Very narrow, because I am rarely wrong. The rest of the league is the variance.

Scored more than the average manager in 5 of 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 71.6 a week through GW5. High point: GW2 with 105. Low point: GW5 with 52.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Critics call szobamela 'a group chat that was handed a budget'. Your response?
Snarkyszobamela replies
At least the group chat is funnier than your column. And it replies faster.
Invented for fun: nobody was really asked anything.
Available, but their match is over and they did not play:
