ManagerMarie Drosche
Marie Drosche of MAD Baller faces the press after Gameweek 3.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Marie, a question for you: Camp Nou Way, just 11 behind, is breathing down your neck. Flattering or terrifying?
EgotistMAD Baller replies
They're not chasing me. They're following the leader's footsteps in awe.
The RookieAsks daftly
Marie Drosche, MAD Baller supporters want to know: You've saved 3 free transfers. Don't they expire?
IQ 150+MAD Baller replies
Banked transfers are an option with no expiry, up to the cap. I deploy them when the information is best.

Scored more than the average manager in 3 of 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 58.6 a week through GW5. High point: GW4 with 86. Low point: GW2 with 46.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Sorry to ask, Marie Drosche: Watkins wears your armband and is listed as unavailable. What is the expected value of a captain who might not play?
Spin doctorMAD Baller replies
We would like to reassure supporters that the structure of the club remains sound.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
A word for the manager of MAD Baller: Calafiori is owned by 52% of managers and blanked. Is following the template risk management, or a lack of ideas?
NonchalantMAD Baller replies
Could be worse. Could also be better. Is that a snack?
The RookieAsks daftly
Back to MAD Baller, if I may: Guéhi was one short of a bonus. Couldn't he do one more?
Conspiracy theoristMAD Baller replies
The bonus points are rigged. Follow the BPS.
Final for Gameweek 3: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.

Worked out from your transfer history (up to 5 can be banked), so FPL's own count has the final word. 3 made this season, and not a single hit taken.

Most wasted in GW3: 5 pts.
Not counted: GW4 (Bench Boost, when the bench's points count).
