Joshua Clarke of Gunner4Lyfe faces the press after Gameweek 5.

The ColumnistAsks cheekily
A word for the manager of Gunner4Lyfe: 4 goals from 1.5 xG: sorcery, or a very good week for variance?
EgotistGunner4Lyfe replies
I don't believe in overperformance. I believe in my squad's superior finishing.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Joshua, quick one: 8th of 21: not promoted, not relegated, merely present. Is that the plan?

I thought a transfer was something at the airport.

Semenyo: 17 pts. Swapping the armband would have gained 30 pts.
Vice-captain: Isak, 8 pts

Scored more than the average manager in 3 of 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 65.6 a week through GW5. High point: GW3 with 89. Low point: GW5 with 49.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
On behalf of the press pool, Joshua: Raya returned 1 point. Is the goalkeeper the least efficient part of your portfolio?

Goalkeepers are a low-variance, low-ceiling asset. The point is a dependable floor, not spectacle.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
The room wants to know, Joshua: Raya is owned by 44% of managers and blanked. Is following the template risk management, or a lack of ideas?
Conspiracy theoristGunner4Lyfe replies
Notice how nobody ever asks about the bonus-point office.
The RookieAsks daftly
Joshua, if I may: Isak got 8 points and Ødegaard got 2. Which of them wore the armband again?
NonchalantGunner4Lyfe replies
It happened. It's done. I'm having tea.
Final for Gameweek 5: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.

1free transfer for GW7
Worked out from your transfer history (up to 5 can be banked), so FPL's own count has the final word. 5 made this season, and not a single hit taken.
24points left on the bench
Most wasted in GW1: 12 pts.

Down £0.5m since day one. That's the squad and the bank together.
