Lord Willard Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I think banning them completely is OTT. It's just abit of fun, should just be banned from picking any Vill players and leave it as that. Regarding the duration of his injury Dean always says it's better than it actually is. His reaction of FFP confirms this. He wants teams to prepare for if Jack plays wasting time on tactics when he will clearly still be out injured.

My favourite bit of this story is that Rob Marshall was up at 7am to amend his FPL team. That shows dedication beyond the call of duty! I mean no self respecting person would ever be awake at 7am. He really is hard core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say that Maddison gets injured and no one knows about it, other than his team mates and close friends. Jack finds out about this, substitutes Maddison, and all of a sudden rumours start escalating, Rodgers find out, and prepares his tactics knowing that we know Maddison is out. Villa players should not be involved in any activity that might give away insider knowledge that will benefit the game. You could argue that we would have done better if Leicester didn't know Jack was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Emi Martinez and I had Jesse Lingard in my team I’d have thrown those goals into my net just as happily as if it was for financial gain, which is why gambling is banned... Gambling is banned because the profits of the gambling companies must be protected at all costs by those in football as illustrated by the Trippier case. The sooner this UK government manage to push through that legislation the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted February 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2021 to be honest publicly i reckon we have 'banned' them from playing it. the message behind closed doors is likely to be "if you're going to play, register with a fake name so that no one knows it's your team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 There's no gambling aspect tied to the official FPL, if there was then premier league players would indeed be banned from playing. Smith is 100% correct to ban them as this clearly is a way of information leaking, I imagine they just return next season under fake details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
