Alex Bruce of BruceBall faces the press after Gameweek 3.
The RookieAsks daftly
Sorry to ask, Alex Bruce: 3 of your players are flagged. Is there a doctor in the house?
IQ under 40BruceBall replies
I like points. They go up. Mostly.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Back to BruceBall, if I may: 10,160,838 in the world: have you tried turning it off and on again?
Spin doctorBruceBall replies
BruceBall will not be commenting on individual decisions at this stage.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Alex, if I may: Dead last of 21. At what point does a tail outcome become an estimate of true skill?
Final for Gameweek 3: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.
João Pedro Captain2 pts (1 × 2)
Barnes: 12 pts. Swapping the armband would have gained 22 pts.
Vice-captain: Raya, 3 pts
0 ptsleft on the bench
Dubravka 0 · O'Reilly 0 · O'Nien 0 · Woltemade 0
Nothing left on the bench.
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 1 of 3 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 51.3 a week through GW5. High point: GW4 with 75. Low point: GW5 with 36.
SnarkyBruceBall replies
At least I'm easy to find.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
The room wants to know, Alex: João Pedro is owned by 69% of managers and blanked. Is following the template risk management, or a lack of ideas?
IQ 150+BruceBall replies
A high-ownership blank hurts everyone in the same way, which leaves rank relatively unharmed. That's what a template is for.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Alex Bruce, BruceBall supporters want to know: 1 point from the captain. Is the C on João Pedro's arm for "captain" or for "cancelled"?
Conspiracy theoristBruceBall replies
Notice how nobody ever asks about the bonus-point office.
