ManagerChris Tran
Chris Tran of GP FC faces the press after Gameweek 5.

The ProfessorAsks cleverly
On behalf of the press pool, Chris: You've paid 16 points in hits this season. What return on churn are you modelling?
EgotistGP FC replies
I trade like a legend. The tax is the price of being right most of the time.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Chris, if I may: 3 goals from 1.4 xG: sorcery, or a very good week for variance?
SnarkyGP FC replies
Luck is a skill. I practise it every morning.

Averaging 49.0 a week through GW5. High point: GW4 with 71. Low point: GW1 with 33.

Chris Tran, GP FC supporters want to know: Calafiori is owned by 52% of managers and blanked. Is following the template risk management, or a lack of ideas?

Does the captain get paid extra?
The RookieAsks daftly
Chris, a question for you: I can never tell with these things: is 16th out of 21 good?

The middle of the distribution is where variance cancels. I'm collecting information, and the tails are coming.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
A word for the manager of GP FC: 16 points handed to FPL for the privilege of changing your mind. Is that a donation or a subscription?
NonchalantGP FC replies
Look, it's a game. I'm vibing.
Final for Gameweek 5: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.
