ManagerAlexis Segura
Alexis Segura of papoy faces the press after Gameweek 4.

The ProfessorAsks cleverly
The room wants to know, Alexis: 9 points on your bench, Muharemović alone with 7. At what point does bench optimisation stop being a hobby and become an obligation?
Snarkypapoy replies
Muharemović was keeping the seat warm. Very considerate of me, really.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
On behalf of the press pool, Alexis: Squad value down £1.4m. Are your players made of ice?
Egotistpapoy replies
Value is temporary. Greatness is held on a long lease.
Palmer Captain10 pts (5 × 2)
Raya: 14 pts. Swapping the armband would have gained 18 pts.
Vice-captain: B.Fernandes, 2 pts
9 ptsleft on the bench
Muharemović 7 · Wissa 2 · Steele 0 · Soler 0

Scored more than the average manager in 4 of 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 66.8 a week through GW5. High point: GW2 with 117. Low point: GW1 with 34.
The RookieAsks daftly
Let me put this to Alexis Segura: Dang Football Club is right behind you. Shouldn't you run?
Spin doctorpapoy replies
We will keep focusing on the next gameweek, one deadline at a time.
The RookieAsks daftly
Alexis, a question for you: Your defence kept 3 clean sheets. Does that mean they were clean?
IQ 150+papoy replies
Clean sheets correlate with opponent weakness. I chose defenders against poor attacks on purpose, and that is the edge.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Alexis, if I may: 36% of managers own B.Fernandes. Do you ever have an original thought?
Nonchalantpapoy replies
No stress. The sun's out somewhere.
Final for Gameweek 4: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.

2free transfers for GW7
Worked out from your transfer history (up to 5 can be banked), so FPL's own count has the final word. 4 made this season, and not a single hit taken.
48points left on the bench
Most wasted in GW5: 21 pts.
Not counted: GW2 (Bench Boost, when the bench's points count).

Here since 2021/22.
Best finish: 1,370,536 in 2025/26 (2,160 pts).

Down £1.4m since day one. That's the squad and the bank together.
