Danny Lopez of fc rtw faces the press after Gameweek 5.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Let me put this to Danny Lopez: Wissa's form is 0.7 and he's still in your XI. Do you believe in form, or in mean reversion?
Nonchalantfc rtw replies
Points come, points go. I'm having a sandwich.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
On behalf of the press pool, Danny: Your attack was a perfect set of zeroes. Did you buy it as a collection?
IQ 150+fc rtw replies
Zero goals from several chances is regression waiting to happen. The process is intact; the finishing was not.
Palmer Captain4 pts (2 × 2)
De Cuyper: 6 pts. Swapping the armband would have gained 8 pts.
Vice-captain: Rogers, 2 pts
12 ptsleft on the bench
Justin 8 · Diop 4 · Forster 0 · João Pedro 0
A lot of points 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 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 51.2 a week through GW5. High point: GW2 with 83. Low point: GW5 with 29.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Danny, a question for you: 9 goals conceded: is your defence a wall or a bead curtain?
Egotistfc rtw replies
Even a great defence concedes. A champion's defence concedes the most dramatic goals.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Danny, if I may: Palmer gave you 2 points as captain while De Cuyper had 6 in your own XI. A process failure, or variance in a trench coat?
Spin doctorfc rtw replies
This is a work in progress, and 29 is a number we will be monitoring closely.
The RookieAsks daftly
Back to fc rtw, if I may: Camp Nou Way is ahead of you by 3. Is that a lot?
Drama queenfc rtw replies
I did not choose the managing life. The managing life chose me, and then forgot to mention the bench.
Final for Gameweek 5: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.
