ManagerAlex Bruce
Alex Bruce of BruceBall faces the press after Gameweek 6.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Back to BruceBall, if I may: 3 of your fifteen players carry an FPL flag. At what point does squad management become hospital management?
IQ 150+BruceBall replies
Injury rates are roughly Poisson, and I hold a diversified portfolio of risk. 3 flags in fifteen is within the base rate, not a crisis.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Alex, a question for you: João Pedro scored a brace. Will you present yourself with a plaque, or accept one?
SnarkyBruceBall replies
Two goals. I can count to two, thanks.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Sorry to ask, Alex Bruce: 3 of your starters play for Arsenal. What is your correlation risk?

Scored more than the average manager in 1 of 3 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 51.3 a week through GW5. High point: GW4 with 75. Low point: GW5 with 36.
NonchalantBruceBall replies
Yeah. Fair enough. It is what it is.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
A word for the manager of BruceBall: Last of 21: the wooden spoon is polished and waiting. Would you like to say a few words?

I trusted the little arrows. Green is good, right?
The RookieAsks daftly
On behalf of the press pool, Alex: Your overall rank is 10,160,838. Is that a big number or a small one?
