As for agro, that's stretching, but it's definitely the kind of thing HR would try for and again I'd question its legality. Ho hum. I'm just trying to guess their logic. If activities on a work night out could be considered work related maybe the league could too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they stop people playing a game in their spare time for money or otherwise that has nothing to do with the company? It doesn't have to be called the '<My company's name> league'. Can't it be a 'mates' league. I'm curious of the legality. Smacks of HR sticking their nose where it doesn't belong and where it has no right to be. That kinda meddling really pisses me off. it would probably fall into the gambling category which breaches the company code of conduct of course they couldn't really stop us texting each other and sort it out privately but it would be a small league. couldn't send a mass email out to the dept though i have set up a work league, but it's purely a fun league with no money involved Edited July 27, 2022 by tomav84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted July 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2022 slow day so done a set and forget team with a new account, just to see how it goes. the rule i've set myself is that i can still make transfers for injuries and still use the chips (inc wildcards) but be nice to not have to think about squad selection each week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted July 30, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2022 Ronnie's insta post about playing tomorrow is a bit of a spanner in the works. Was planning on having Martial and maybe Sancho but not sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Been invited to a mate’s cash league with his friends. I definitely spend loads more time on it than they all do each week and would’ve won it if I had been in it last year. Announce 5th place now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Thought I was smart putting Bailey in a couple of weeks ago as a cheap differential, now he’s all over Twitter as one to put in, annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 1, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2022 Haaland has dropped 10% since the Community Shield despite getting over 1.5xG against that Liverpool defence in a debut. Imagine him against normal teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine him against normal teams. I thought City looked rather poor and lacked a bit of pace. First 5 fixtures are much better for Haaland than Kane but he doesn't have pens, new to the league, might get less minutes/potential rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
