ManagerNico Zarzaua
Nico Zarzaua of Newpi faces the press after Gameweek 3.

The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Nico, a question for you: Pedro Porro, form 0.3, still starts. Is loyalty a strategy?
IQ 150+Newpi replies
Form is a lagging indicator with a small signal. I back long-run quality, and Pedro Porro's underlying numbers are intact.
The RookieAsks daftly
Nico, quick one: Akatsuki is ahead of you by 4. Is that a lot?
Conspiracy theoristNewpi replies
I have a spreadsheet that proves it. It proves nothing, which is exactly the proof.

Sorry to ask, Nico Zarzaua: You beat the average in 0 of 5 weeks. Is the average very good?

You ask me this now, in my darkest hour? Very well. I weep, but I answer.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
A word for the manager of Newpi: 19th of 21. Are the bottom four a relegation zone or a gated community?
EgotistNewpi replies
I'm not in the drop zone. The drop zone is visiting me.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Nico Zarzaua, Newpi supporters want to know: Pickford returned 1 point. Is the goalkeeper the least efficient part of your portfolio?
IQ under 40Newpi replies
Is this the part where I pretend to understand?
