ManagerBart Simp
Bart Simp of Bart's Team faces the press after Gameweek 6.

The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Sorry to ask, Bart Simp: Szoboszlai's form is 1.7 and he's still in your XI. Do you believe in form, or in mean reversion?
IQ 150+Bart's Team replies
Form is a lagging indicator with a small signal. I back long-run quality, and Szoboszlai's underlying numbers are intact.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Let me put this to Bart Simp: João Pedro scored twice in your XI. Does a brace change your estimate of his underlying talent, or is it noise?
Conspiracy theoristBart's Team replies
Notice how nobody ever asks about the bonus-point office.
The RookieAsks daftly
A word for the manager of Bart's Team: Gaucho F.C. is right behind you. Shouldn't you run?

Drama queenBart's Team replies
Curtain! Bring down the curtain on Gameweek 6, I beg you.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Bart, if I may: Top of the league, 10 clear. Will the trophy be engraved before or after the collapse?
Spin doctorBart's Team replies
I can confirm there is a plan. I cannot confirm what it is.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
On behalf of the press pool, Bart: You've beaten the average in 5 of 5 weeks. Are you cheating, or just insufferable?
SnarkyBart's Team replies
I'm modest about it. I'm just also correct.
