Marie Drosche of MAD Baller faces the press after Gameweek 5.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Sorry to ask, Marie Drosche: Camp Nou Way, just 11 behind, is breathing down your neck. Flattering or terrifying?
SnarkyMAD Baller replies
They can breathe all they like. I've got a window.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
On behalf of the press pool, Marie: 2 of your players banked the DefCon bonus. Was that by design?
EgotistMAD Baller replies
I invented DefCon. In spirit.
5 ptsleft on the bench
Lacroix 3 · Anderson 2 · Lecomte 0 · João Pedro 0
Closest to the +2 DefCon bonus: 10 defensive contributions in a match for a defender, 12 for a midfielder or forward.

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
Marie, quick one: FPL had to bring on Hill for João Pedro. How do you justify starting a player who never took the field?
Drama queenMAD Baller replies
The curtain falls on Gameweek 5, and with it, my hopes. Applause is optional.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Marie, a question for you: Semenyo scored a brace. Will you present yourself with a plaque, or accept one?
NonchalantMAD Baller replies
I don't lose sleep over Gameweek 5.
The RookieAsks daftly
A word for the manager of MAD Baller: 3 of your players are from Liverpool. Is that a team or a family reunion?
Spin doctorMAD Baller replies
There were many positives to take from Gameweek 5, and we will build on them.
Final for Gameweek 5: 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.
15points left on the bench
Most wasted in GW3: 5 pts.
Not counted: GW4 (Bench Boost, when the bench's points count).
