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?

Pochettino will make a final decision on Harry Kane, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen “after final training session.” #COYS
Hmmm……

Kane has been flagged by FFF for days now. So I knew something was up. Sold him instead of Costa.

I’m sure the guys will have more detailed info for us later today once the ATG article is out 😉

17 votes? Is that all GP?
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Sadly yes.
That’s been standard for a while.

It doesn’t say much about us as a community!!!

People are obviously pre-occupied with their own teams and that’s fair enough. I’ve brought the voting down to very simple terms which I hope might spark more interest. We shall see. I try to post and tweet as best I can without harassing you all
Cookie
I know that Init, Kop, GP and I all voted – that’s 4 out of 17.
I wonder how many RMTs we did between us this week.
Very disappointed.
Kop Warrior
GP, you do a great job mate.
Horse
Late voter. I agree with all of that
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Thanks horse.
It looks good doesn’t it?
Baines on the bench was questioned but strong candidates for the defence this week.

* FF247 COMMUNITY TEAM UPDATE DGW 27 *
Hey ho ….
Take a look at our points for this past week.
Luckily we have owned Erik Pieters for a while. It was clearly leading up to this!
No transfer vote this week because of the short space between game weeks so management are looking at steering a couple of transfers ahead of the shortened GW28.
We’ll be in touch
