Community Team End of Season Review

Community Team End of Season Review

Welcome to the FF247 Community Team review for the 2016/17 season.

It’s fair to say it’s been a season of highs and lows for the Community Team. Let’s start with the low; GW 31 rank of 1,005,432. Ouch. And onto one of the highs; from GW 31, seven straight green arrows and a final rank of 308,237. Not a great rank and a drop off from last season, but an increase of nearly 700,000 places in the last seven weeks is no mean feat. All that voted, take a bow!

Let’s take a look at some stats behind the Community Teams season using the excellent FPL Statistico site (http://anewpla.net).

The FF247 Community Team’s ID is 79962 if you’d like to check out the facts for yourself.

5-5-3 (1 time – average 143 points)
4-3-3 (1 time – average 71 points)
3-5-2 (1 time – average 51 points)

And what does that all mean? The interesting facts are the variables that, as a community, we control so captain, who we benched and transfers are harder to summarise:

We picked the highest scorer in our team as captain 58% of the time (an increase from 45% last season).
We benched six goals out of a total of 98 (compared to benching two goals of 109 last season).
We benched two assists out of a total of 66 (compared to benching two assists of 68 last season).
We benched 10 clean sheets from a possible 53 (compared to eight clean sheets out of a total of 61 last season).
Median Gameweek Score of 55 (compared to a score of 55 last season).
In top X% of all users 6.84% (compared to 2.68% last season).

So the season has ended; we have a new champion, three teams relegated, three teams promoted, Jose continues to park expensive busses, Ibra is ageless, Kun is mortal (especially with the rising of Jesus) and sadly this will be the last season for the FF247 Community Team. The decision has been made by all involved that the time to end is now. Votes have been on the decline of late and the time commitments this takes, especially on Gallant Pioneer with the voting is too much.

We hope you have enjoyed being a part of this amazing experience and interestingly there appears to be other community teams popping up on Twitter. When the idea was born three years ago on the banks of the Waikato river here in sunny NZ, we didn’t know it would come to fruition and end up on the site as a regular article.

A few thank you’s; Elle, thanks for all your help and ideas from the start. GP, you took the idea and ran with it; developing the voting system and you drove the publicity both on site and Twitter. Cookie, Kop, Init and the others that have made it happen. And of course the biggest thank you goes to all of you that have voted.

      Aaah yes, so I forgot about my Fantasy Champions League team for the second time since the quarter finals. Only had 6 players playing. I was like first with over a 100 points ahead, close to top 50. I wonder if now I can even win the FF247 league. HAHA! :p

        Well done on the FF247 one anyway mate. That’s usually a toughie to win with Sanchez, GP and Obat usually very competitive. Usually being the operative word 😉

      Bow down people. Raziel won the FF247 Fantasy Champions League, having forgotten about his squad twice. That’s how good I am. Number 6th of my country and I am pretty sure I would be fucking first had I not forgotten about my squad twice. Darnit. Anyway, won the FF247, I’ll take that. laugh
