Marie Drosche of MAD Baller faces the press after Gameweek 4.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
On behalf of the press pool, Marie: Bench Boost added 8 points. What was its expected value when you played it?
Spin doctorMAD Baller replies
We would like to reassure supporters that the structure of the club remains sound.

Marie, quick one: 3 yellow cards across your XI. Is there an arbitrage in owning aggressive players, or is it just a cost?
SnarkyMAD Baller replies
They're passionate. That's the polite word.

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 ColumnistAsks cheekily
The room wants to know, Marie: 12th of 21: not promoted, not relegated, merely present. Is that the plan?
Conspiracy theoristMAD Baller replies
I'm not saying the game is rigged. I'm saying my captain knows something.
The RookieAsks daftly
Back to MAD Baller, if I may: João Pedro got 12 points as captain. Does that mean you did it right?
NonchalantMAD Baller replies
I don't lose sleep over Gameweek 4.
The RookieAsks daftly
Marie Drosche, MAD Baller supporters want to know: 3 of your players are from Liverpool. Is that a team or a family reunion?
EgotistMAD Baller replies
I bought the whole section at once. A team is a team.
Final for Gameweek 4: 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).
