Jose Castrejon of szobamela faces the press after Gameweek 4.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Back to szobamela, if I may: 11 points on your bench, Kinsky alone with 7. At what point does bench optimisation stop being a hobby and become an obligation?

Does the captain get paid extra?
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Sorry to ask, Jose Castrejon: 5 free transfers hoarded like a dragon. What's the plan?

A lot of points left on the bench.

Scored more than the average manager in 5 of 5 weeks, before hits.
Averaging 71.6 a week through GW5. High point: GW2 with 105. Low point: GW5 with 52.
The RookieAsks daftly
Jose, if I may: João Pedro got 12 points as captain. Does that mean you did it right?
Snarkyszobamela replies
I'd say it was skill, but I don't want to jinx the next one.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Jose, quick one: B.Fernandes is owned by 36% of managers and blanked. Is following the template risk management, or a lack of ideas?
Egotistszobamela replies
I'm not following the template. The template is following me, and B.Fernandes is a clerical error.
The RookieAsks daftly
On behalf of the press pool, Jose: papoy is right behind you. Shouldn't you run?

We note the question. We also note that it is a question.
Final for Gameweek 4: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.
