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?

Morning and thanks to all above who have voted already.
Your votes have already decided that we sell Coutinho (no surprise) and his replacement is Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea. Pockets us a few quid as well.
Now we ask for the team selection and captain. Please vote here:

Thank you Init.

Vote in cheers lads
* FF247 COMMUNITY TEAM GAME-WEEK 14 *
Thank you for all the votes we’ve received and the result is shown below.
Aguero remains captain, backed up by Theo as vice.
Stones and Smith was a close one but is been decided thus:
Good luck everyone this weekend

Ye were supposed to bench Siggy 😉
Got one vote fewer than Phillips. Couldn’t have been closer.
No real surprise as Phillips has a decent fixture.

The least said the better we think. :Do
A disappointing minus captain and save for two clean sheets in the back plus Diego Costa, a week to forget. 35 points in total and a sizeable 15 BELOW average sees us hanging by a thread inside the top 1 million.
Onwards team! Let’s come out the other side of this festive period fighting. Aguero going no doubt. The vote will open later.
GP/ NZ/ ELLE
Thanks GP, I’ll ve voting for Kane and a Chelsea defender I think – Stones to go at last!!
And Sanchez in surely? Kane too if doable.
oh yeah, forgot about him!! Not sure how doable that is with Kane though…..
Not doable without 3 transfers I reckon. Did we save one last gw?
No, we bought Siggy
We should sell the bastard then! And fire whoever bought him!
Agreed lol!!

Looks like I’m the first to do the survey haha so it’s a bit obvious who I picked
in all honesty it’s time for stones to go.
Hi waxys and thank you for the vote.
Yeah I think so as well and I’ll be voting to lose both City boys this week. I think it will be quite popular.
GP,
We can’t do anything about red cards or injuries. I was clever enough to captain Coutinho the week before. Shit happens.
I would like to store our Aguero dosh against his return-a FL eternity, a New Year’s present. I voted Kane for Sergio (Spurs run of games), and Sanchez for Walcott (to store value). I think this transaction nicks it by 0.1.
FWIW.

Thanks for the vote and the comment. I think they sound perfectly sensible moves to me. I would be happy with those.
Thanks once again mate.
Vote in , it always amazes me some of the voting but hey ho lets hope for a better GW cheers all
