Fantasy Football The FF247 Community Team – We go again
It was around this time twelve months ago that another team joined the 3 million-strong throng of Fantasy Football Teams vying for the crown of overall world champion. Except in this case it would be “champions” as this team was a little different. You were in it. And you. You, too. I was as well. The FF247 Community Team (founded 2015) was born, and indeed borne out of a curiosity of a few regulars who wondered if we could have a fantasy team representing all you good good people. Let’s embrace what we did last year, with an overall respectable final rank of 100,193 and see if we can improve on that the second time around.
For those new to this concept, your management team of myself, elleffcee and NZ Alex will guide you via comments on our dedicated article which sits on the tab at the top of the FF247 homepage. These comments will advise you when we are looking for your interaction, namely to let us know how you think we should manage the Community Team. Once our original squad has been selected (more of that soon), we need you to advise us how many transfers we should make, who should be transferred out, in and how we should line up for the forthcoming gameweek and also who will wear our captain’s armband for double points.
All our voting is based on a first past the post system – most votes wins. Simple.
The initial squad selection last season was a little laborious so we have decided to streamline this for this season. We will soon open voting where we will ask you to vote for your desired players by each position (hopefully getting a nice mixture of top-end and budget players . . . . or not?) and then the management team will construct the squad based upon your most popular two or three players per position and then by budget as we work our way through the positions.
The management team have our own individual teams so we are not one bit interested in manipulating the Community Team to turn it in to some second team of ours. You will get what you vote for.
We received some positive feedback on this venture last year so we feel we owe it to you all to have another go and we just hope you support us once more.
To the 2016/17 season then. Shall we?

* FF247 COMMUNITY TEAM UPDATE GW3 *
Well GW3 brought us a total of 45 points and a placing of 154,821 in the overall rankings with 178 points banked (an average of over 59!). It’s a steady start we feel.
We’ll shortly open the transfer vote for the week to see if there is any interest in the playing of our wildcard during the international break. We’ll make a decision in its popularity after the first couple of days. If the decision is no then we’ll accept your transfers as voted for.
Thanks for all your support once again.
How do you feel we’ve done so far?

Cheers GP, you’re on the ball today 😉 As you say it’s a steady start to the season and if we keep chipping away we should do go with this team. Can’t be any worse than last year haha
Nice one GP – yeah it’s a steady start for sure which should lead to some optimism for the rest of the season. Thanks for the update mate.

Vote done. Cheers GP.
Nice one Matt! :thumbup:
Wildcard?
No I said not to but if these bans come in I may change my mind haha
Will cast my vote when we know what’s happening with the bad boys up top GP :thumbup:
Thanks AT.
Totally understandable. You’ll have plenty of reminders during the next two weeks.
Ok which one
A Stones , Townsend , Mahrez out Collins , Puncheon , Sanchez in or
B Townsend , Mahrez , Gray out Sterling , Cazorla , Deeney. In
Obviously this will change if bans come into play
I would go for A, Silvers. I think Sanchez will score a lot over the coming GWs. Sterling is hot right now, but with a visit to OT next. Same argument for Stones. I am also uncertain of Cazorlas’ playing time, although he is on pens.
Cheers xaoc still undecided these bans could change my plans
