Fantasy Football

We've got a fantasy football league at work and it's should be banned.

It brings an unnatural reaction from the contestant.

People suppported one team and you followed them. You now find that people are cheering for an rival team just because they got players from that team in their fantasy team!

The icing on the cake is when someone has a go at a player of your team, just because he got booked or substituted, so loses points.

Forget that that player may be a consistent performer, football wise.

Ban this evil thing at once, before it transforms football rivalry for good!!

Or you could just build a team around your Fav team and teams you dont care about.

There are No Leeds or Tottenham players in my Fantasy team

You've got to have standards

What would I do with the remaining Ã‚Â£48m ifI based it around the team I support?

You should have included an option in the vote of "Who cares"?!

No, because that puts me in the same category as those who can't be bothered to vote. I can be bothered, but my vote is "who cares?"

It's a valid viewpoint on the subject.
