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?

  1. As Motown, and the Crystals, put it so elegantly, “Da-Do-Ron-R(D)on”

    • Thanks for the vote for Rondon*, KI

      * I assume :winktongue:

      • GP,

        Just a joke. Asthor is right 7-8 times out of 10. I’ve been snakebit myself on captains, so I thought I’d roll the dice on a marginal forward-the shaky logic being that we need/needed to gather cash to resuscitate Sergio. Vardy’s red was just bad luck.
        I did the predictable this round, and I’m sure our results will show it.
        Best of the season to you and yours.

    Thank you for your transfer votes these past few days. You have decided to use both free transfers and we’ve sold Diego Costa and Jamie Vardy.

    Welcome to the Community Team – Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Christian Benteke.

    We would be very grateful if you could spare two seconds to follow this link and vote for our team lineup and captain.

    • Voted GP, obvious 3 at the back benched plus Phillips which was a toughie. Zlatan capo.

      For what it’s worth I didn’t want to chip in on twitter but I sort of agreed with the Aussie bloke on narrowing down those original picks to say 10 choices or maybe 15.
