Gian Jaen of Gaucho F.C. faces the press after Gameweek 4.
The RookieAsks daftly
Sorry to ask, Gian Jaen: 47 points have piled up on your bench this season. Have you tried putting those players onto the pitch?
EgotistGaucho F.C. replies
Other managers' benches are empty. Mine is a trophy cabinet.
The RookieAsks daftly
On behalf of the press pool, Gian: Groß got 17 and you picked Palmer. Did you mix up the names?
IQ 150+Gaucho F.C. replies
Regret is hindsight's tax. Palmer had the higher expected points before kick-off, and that is the only number a captain can be judged on.
Palmer Captain10 pts (5 × 2)
Groß: 17 pts. Swapping the armband would have gained 24 pts.
Vice-captain: Haaland, 9 pts

Scored more than the average manager in 4 of 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 74.6 a week through GW5. High point: GW2 with 115. Low point: GW1 with 39.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Back to Gaucho F.C., if I may: You are 10 points behind Bart's Team in 2nd. What would it take to close that gap?
SnarkyGaucho F.C. replies
Close enough to see the trophy, far enough to be asked about it. Perfect.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Gian, if I may: 4 clean sheets. Are you also in the laundry business?
IQ under 40Gaucho F.C. replies
I think my team is the one with the blue shirts.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Gian, quick one: Scott is injured and still on your bench. What is the contingency plan when a substitute is a medical record?
Drama queenGaucho F.C. replies
I did not choose the managing life. The managing life chose me, and then forgot to mention the bench.
Final for Gameweek 4: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.
