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 GW11 *
A little belatedly (but it’s only international week anyway 😉 ) here is our Community Team performance for this past FPL week.
Firmino would have been a brilliant captain but at least Aguero didn’t blank. Decent contributions too from our other strikers as Costa and Austin both scored.
Our overall rank now is 460,998 thanks to a weekly bundle of 58 (six above average).
We’ll take a little break now and be back to vote after the internationals.
Thanks for the support everyone.

Keep it going GP/NZ/ELLE
We’ll climb this ladder.
We need Hazardo in somehow and I’m actually thinking that Smith is dead weight with his suspension and subsequent very tough schedule. Humm…
Thanks DMC.
Yeah I can see Hazard being very popular this coming week.
Hope you keep involved with us. :ok:
Sure mate. I’ve been a bit in and out, but always lurking and reading. Keep up the good work.
GP you’ll have to forgive me for not directly retweeting that from the site handle. Don’t want people confusing it and thinking that’s the site team rank :popcorn:
Yup, I get that.
:finger:
No Community Team this week? Don’t tell me shame has finally gotten the best of you all?!
Evening/Morning Init . . .
See next message.
Nevermind him GP, can’t believe he didn’t even hot comment the gw12 voting comment! We, the Community, will prevail though!
Vote casted btw. Costa should be our man from that lot. Best of luck.
That’s both very disappointing and disheartening in all honesty.
* FF247 COMMUNITY TEAM UPDATE – GW12 *
Internationals eh? Who’d have ’em?
Well we at the Community Team are not especially thrilled with them as the potential injuries or fatigue and general uncertainty we endure makes it difficult to accurately cast votes on the health of our team. It’s to this end that the management have executively decided to hold our one FT this week and instead ask you only to vote on our team selection which will open tomorrow.
We will then revert to our normal voting structure for future weeks as the International Game goes on ice until March (except the Africa Cup of Nations in January, but we don’t want to unnecessarily worry you with that. Yet.)
Look out for our vote tomorrow please.
