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?

Please see our squad below and let us know whether you think this is the time with there being two weeks now before the next FPL deadline.

We look forward to seeing the consensus.

GP, ive voted not to Wildcard as just tweaks are required in my opinion. Selling Ibra would solve sorting out the midfield.
The defence is very strong.
Thanks Cookie.
Boring :p
Boring probably means the right choice in FPL doesn’t it?!
Voted Sir. That is a great back line
Strikers are wow. I voted for a NO
Agree with Cookie. Ibra to Lukaku and Redmond to Payet/Wally/Son with a Hit mends the mid field.
Or may be Ibra to Tekkers/Deeney/Defoe for even more funds release
Just me that is
That midfield though…. 😯
Vote in WC activated :smiling:
+1 that midfield needs more then a -4
No need for WC here. The midfield is not great of course, but at least two of them have a good game next gw. We may need to bin zlatan, only to bring him back after his first hattrick, and if we do so, we should get sanchez in for barko and possibly tekkers for that 3rd front spot.
That team needs a wildcard
The midfield is shocking!
Townsend & Redmond have only produced returns once
Barkley hasn’t produced since GW2
Is Capoue good enough to be your 4th midfielder? I’m still not sure.
Tell it like it is Kop!
Cheers matey, vote registered I assume?
Indeed
I’d wildcard the shit out of that team, lol. Time to drop Ibra and beef up that midfield I think. We can catch some good price rises on Son, Walcott, Sanchez, Pickford, etc. too over the IB, plus adjust for any surprises if there are injuries.
Friend is at -96.8 to drop as well on FPL stats.

You and your constant reminders. You’re worse than my Mrs. Do this, do that, pay the gardener, feed the children, punch air holes in the dogs box. It never ends.
Your missus is bad for that isn’t she?
Woops …. :p
Voted GP, thank you. I think it should be played on this occasion.
Cheers Init.
Done, cheers guys.

It’s active!
Thanks for your votes. Nearly 4/5ths voted in favour of restyling our squad with our first wildcard of the season.
The management will look after price increases and decreases each day and after the International Break we will ask you to select your preferred wildcard squad.
GP / NZ/ ELLE
GP/NZ/ELLE,
Thanks for the commitment to take care of price increases and decreases. I think I managed to fritter away about 0.3 fooling with my WC a week ago. It’s a tough job, and I appreciate the continuing effort.
GP I assume by watching price changes you will be taking Jak , Friend , Bar , Red , Hoj & Ibra out tonight and putting price raiser’s in ???? ie Pickford ect .
KI/Silvers,
Apologies for this late response but yeah Elle is looking out for any potential price risers (or fallers) for us this week.
Aren’t you Elle? Elle . . . .? :p
