ManagerDrin Pacuku
Drin Pacuku of sakadeez faces the press after Gameweek 3.

The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Let me put this to Drin Pacuku: 4 yellow cards: is your XI a football team or a rugby scrum?
Snarkysakadeez replies
They're passionate. That's the polite word.
The RookieAsks daftly
Back to sakadeez, if I may: 63 points have piled up on your bench this season. Have you tried putting those players onto the pitch?

A deep bench is insurance, and insurance has a premium. The premium is the points I can never prove I'd have lost.
Haaland Triple captain27 pts (9 × 3)
Ødegaard: 10 pts. Swapping the armband would have gained 3 pts.
Vice-captain: Foden, 1 pt

Drin, if I may: 15th of 21: not promoted, not relegated, merely present. Is that the plan?
Spin doctorsakadeez replies
The manager retains the full confidence of the manager.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Sorry to ask, Drin Pacuku: 14 points on your bench, Mendy alone with 8. At what point does bench optimisation stop being a hobby and become an obligation?

I just press the buttons that look important.

A word for the manager of sakadeez: Foden's form is −0.7 and he's still in your XI. Do you believe in form, or in mean reversion?
Egotistsakadeez replies
Foden will find form, because I believe in him. That's how it works.
Final for Gameweek 3: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.

1free transfer for GW7
Worked out from your transfer history (up to 5 can be banked), so FPL's own count has the final word. 5 made this season, and the hits cost you 4 pts.
Unverified Your hits don't match this count, so FPL may have granted extra transfers.
63points left on the bench
Most wasted in GW1: 23 pts.
