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*
How did we do in GW1 I hear you cry? Well here we go …
Not half bad at all. Well above the average score for the week and just inside the top 189,000.
Goals by Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Mahrez and Hazard and an assist by Demarai Gray made up for the lack of clean sheets.
Transfer vote due open soon.
GP/ NZ/ ELLE
Good score this GP to get us going 😉
Steady start Silvers eh?
Hold up, I thought “this team is doomed” ?? Step up Mr D Gray 😉
We know what we’re doing Cookie mate. :see-no:
Players that interest me this or nk GW Bolasie , Barkley , Deulofeu , Walker , Lamela , Eriksen , Cazorla , Carroll & Payet. Players I’m considering dropping Gray , Mahrez & Townsend what are peoples thoughts 😉
I think we need the benefit of another match to see what’s what. Unless you’re dealing with a major injury, I’d hold.
Good watchlist though.
Be wary that Deulofeu could be dropped to the bench to make way for Lukaku. it’s either Deulo or Mirallas who are the likely ones. Agree with u on Barkley, am interested in bringing him in
