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?

Thank you for your votes and here’s our team.
Stones benched!
Captain is Sanchez in the early game.
GP/ NZ/ ELLE
Good luck team!
That central midfield pair sends shivers . . .
* FF247 COMMUNITY TEAM UPDATE GW10 *
Hey everyone. Bet you’re wondering how the Community Team fared in this past high-scoring FPL week?
No? Well we’ll tell you anyway. A very decent 75 (17 above average) thanks in part to a successful captain in Sanchez, a returning-to-form Aguero with a lovely little side of Joe Allen to round off. Boom!
Overall rank: 502,807.
GP/ NZ / ELLE
The mids and the forwards stood up perfectly to the task.
On that note how fool was I to sell Sanchez and Antonio for Mane and Wally.
Add to that, I captained Mane.
😉
58 just for me. That’s like super LOL
i actually scored 82 points without Sanchez in my team ^^
Well done mate.
Smart business elsewhere
* FF247 COMMUNITY TEAM GAME-WEEK 11 TRANSFER VOTE *
Time is upon us now to take a look at our squad, our cash and our available transfers and decide our best course of action.
Our squad will be attached to this comment so please take a look at it and decide how you think we should best use one or two of our free transfers. You can even vote we use 3 for a -4 points hit.
Off the back of a good Game-week 10 (75 points) we would love to keep it going.
