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?

Good evening guys, as u can see my team, I am confused over these 2 options:
1. transfer out baines or brunt
2. play AOA and bench baines and brunt
hochoki, AOA is a nice option this week for you in my opinion.

Vote in cheers GP 😉
Thank you Silvers
Cheers GP.
I’ve just voted to bank the transfer. As per most weeks I doubt the vote will go my way!
Thanks Kop, it’s appreciated regardless.

Hi All
Made same suggestion as last week: Allen out. Mata in. Which I now realise is a s@&? idea because I didn’t check money available. What a donkey! Excuse my stupidity. Doh!
Anyone think that Mata is worth thinking about, given Man Utd’s fixtures, coming DGWs, and current injuries/suspensions?

That’s OK mate. We appreciate anyone helping us out. That’s what the team is here for.
I love Mata as a player but I never consider him as a serious FPL option these days for some reason. That is your answer from me then.
I’d like him more if Jose didn’t pull him off every week.
Thanks, GP. I agree that his game time is in doubt. Nevertheless, he’s picked up two goals and an assist plus three blank-sheet points in the last four Gameweeks, which ain’t all that bad…Five BPs too. With Herrera and Pogba out, perhaps he’ll get more minutes…
Plus it contributes towards GW34

Thank you for your participation this week in the vote. You decided that Ryan Bertrand should be brought in and to make this happen we lost Chris Brunt and Joe Allen. Marten de Roon is the makeweight.
