Community Watch Tournament – Matchweek 1

Welcome to the latest update of the Community Watch Tournament.

Following three weeks of bidding the squads are now in place. All bidding results and squads can be found here. All players are requested to check their email and report to their respective manager if they still haven’t.

TOP BUYS

Let us take a look at the most expensive players.

Greenwindmill (team Salahmon Islands) – 101m : Salahmon Islands manager Boris Bodega was willing to spend more than half his budget to land his top target. With ranks of 63 and 1,925 in two of the last three seasons, can this FFScout mod live up to his price tag?

MrT/TrevFPL (team Kenyaya) – 81m : With three top 10k finishes in three of the last four seasons, he looks set to be a vital member of team Kenyaya. Manager Lawro oversaw competition from GregHammer95 and Jossy to land him.

Lateriser12 (team Grabbangladesh) – 80m : With ranks of 182, 2212 and 77 in three of the last four seasons, it is no surprise that he was the sought after player in his round. He was the first player to be signed by manager JK and looks set to spearhead his team.

Ogie (team Messidonia) – 80m : Ogie has top 1k finishes in each of the last two seasons, including an astonishing rank of 12 last year. Manager AceKn1ght held off competition from Laurent Robert and Az to acquire his services.

Tournament Details

Tournament details, including scoresheet, league table, fixtures, awards and squads,can be found here.

Seven players will start in a Gameweek, including a weekly captain, who will score double points. The remaining players will be on the bench for that Gameweek. The 20 teams will compete in a head-to-head league. A team’s total is the sum of these six player’s FPL scores, with the captain’s score counted as double. Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips will not affect this total.

For each matchweek, the managers are requested to submit their starting 7 and captain before the Gameweek deadline. Failure to submit within the deadline for any matchweek will result in:

1) The players with the best overall rank getting benched.
2) The player with the worst overall rank becoming the captain.

      Especially The Salahmon Islands right?

        We don't need luck.

        Actually, Luck might be a bit useful..... 😆

      Can you tell me if I’m on your team fella?Can’t see the full squad anywhere?Think I was picked 2nd tier by Lawro but may have been benched last week-Let’s Go Kenyaya!

    We tonked Greenwindmill and Co. in the friendly, nothing will stop the mighty Mozampique.

    1. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Preseason run around to stretch the muscles before the main event, we were still experimenting with our line up - if we'd wanted to get out of second gear you wouldn't have stood a chance.

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        maybe you should have spoken with your captain, who informed us we were "going down". You got 70+ points so pretty sure you were trying 😉

        1. Boris Bodega
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Clearly you fell for the intended rhetoric, and held back the hits to win the friendly. Salah-mon Islands intend to be the invincibles of the tournament.

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            you could have picked any combo of 7 players and captain and we'd still have trounced you, even accounting for a hit if if you all took one etc....pretty sure you are all trying in the OR stakes 😉

            1. Boris Bodega
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Your team's differentials fired, ours didn't. It's that simple. Amazed you're lording it up after a friendly! 😆

              Good luck in your first match, anyways, it's starting to get serious now.

              1. Annie

                lording it up, ha. Good luck!

          Right - Boris was also experimenting with his smack talk, you can tell he didn't mean that because the real stuff is devastating 😉

          And sure, I can see how a score in the 70s might *look* like we're trying...

    2. Jøssy ⭐
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Erm... You're meeting the formidable Germané this week, so I wouldn't be so sure!!

      Oh and yeah, thanks guys - been involved in a few of these and I've picked up on just how much of a pain these can be to run, kudos for the smooth running of such a complicated event!

    Away to Afghanistan, a glamour tie!

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Piece of cake. Battenberg to be precise.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ooh, pretty squares 🙂

    2. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Tough away trip.

      Long flight into Kabul and then a three day camel ride up to Tora Bora. Hopefully you guys have been doing your altitude acclimatation training as the airs pretty thin up here.

      And don't be suprised that our pitch is in a cave carved out of solid rock, and lit by 16 million candles. It's just the way we do things 'round here.

      Good luck!

    Great work by the organisers. One of the most interesting FPL tournaments I’ve ever been a part of.

    E-Visa sorted for the trip to Russia this week. Also bought a full kevlar body suit from this old man down the park to protect me from the baying mob, and invested in a second liver for the inevitable vodka waterfall.

          You are on the team! I sent you an email about a week ago but did not get a response. I'll send you another one now but perhaps I've got the wrong email address. If you haven't received an email at the time of reading this can you please drop an email to fantasycommunitywatch@gmail.com?

    Great effort all who organised this tournament I can see alot of work has gone into it. I am looking foward to this and seeing balegium smash all teams put before them... hoorah

      I'll second this ... great work by the organisers.

  14. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    "highest average FPL points over the season when he was in the starting 6(7)" - will these awards not just go to the players who happen to be benched in the low-scoring weeks?

    1. electrue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Concentrate on the managerial awards boss. Leave the player ones to us. 😉

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I agree. In fact I think all 200 players should be eligible for the individual awards regardless of how often they are selected. It means we always have skin in the game, and was a good feature during the Texas Chilli Bowl.

    3. AA33
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Will consider it, thanks 🙂

    4. John t penguin
      • 9 Years

      Not if they are benched every week

  15. VIRATKOHLI18

  16. Urchin
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Do any of the organizers that are players/managers have access to their opponents' playing 7/captain choice before the deadline...?
    Just curious how it works....

    1. Urchin
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nobody? Hmmm...

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry for the late reply Urchin. We ensure you that we won't have access to your playing 7's and captains.

      1. Urchin
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks speedy, good to hear that... I was sure that was the case just wanted to confirm it 🙂
        Best luck and once again kudos on getting this tournament together.... Great job!

      When Messidonia comes to town with four players and win, Mbokani Faso might as well pack it in.

  20. John t penguin
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Am I missing something here, it says managers will pick starting 7 then twice later refers to starting 6.

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      "A team’s total is the sum of these six player’s FPL scores, with the captain’s score counted as double. "
      We should have put this in better words,sorry. We mean 6 players+captain=7 players

      1. John t penguin
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Still not getting the article
        It says in all the award description 'in the starting 6'

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Change "six" to "seven" and it's perfect.

        Are they players in your team?

        Plagiarizing Badgers, Drawing Boar & A Mole?

      Nah, just lie there, very, very still.....

      You should tell your team Captain(by mail or what ever you have agreed on) what team you will have this week. He then picks the 7 out of your teams 10 participants that will count in the battle against opponents.

    6 years, 7 months ago

    Pretty sure this hasn't been mentioned yet.

    Throughout the whole bidding process, I had no intentions to buy anyone that wasn't on my hit list. Instead I strategically signed all of my reliable and deadly members of the undefeated Chilli Bowl winners from last year. Some of my assassins had to refuse huge bids from other teams to sign for me. Team chemistry 100%, communication better than any team. We are undoubtedly the favourites and a team to be feared. We have been here before and done it. Got the t-shirt.

    Move over Messidonia, you are just another pawn to our ruling righteous Kings.

    I present you with the reigning FFS champions and THE team to beat.

    This tournament has reignited my love of fantasy football - genuine thanks to all involved!

    I was looking to check my eligibility for bargain buy of the season *cough* how much did I cost *cough* but the first link in the article is dead - does anyone have the proper one?

      Here you go! You're in a good position for bargain of the season with your 1 million price tag 🙂

    Team Salah-mon Islands welcomes Knuckles Knows to their team having finally gotten in touch with him. Looking forward to our tussle with the Afghanistanislas-ians. We have only one inactive player left on our team.

        Following the Aguero news we've written off this week, all of us have taken minimum 3 hits to re-organise our teams ready for GW8. So feel free to do the same 😉

    Skip – As recommended I gave Kabul Airport a wide berth and have established a base camp at the Kyber Pass. The team Kaftans have arrived and I met the Ambassador, Sir Sidney Roughdiamond, but apparently it’s all kicking off in Reussia this weekend, so he can’t help us with transport. Fortunately I met a local guide, Billy Fish, who can do us a deal on a llama cart (40 woodbines and your recipe for battenburg). You can’t get insurance in these parts, but Ben Stokes has offered to provide security for our star signing. I also picked up some good intel on the opposition – apparently they’ve already smoked a years supply of the local crop and have been warming up with some very strange calisthenics. Strangely, this has not affected their support with the locals, who are still confidently predicting that they will be in Paradise by Sunday night.

    Good idea to arrange the extra pre-season friendly by the way. It was good of Tuvalu to fit us in, and maybe they will let us play an adult team next time. Still no sign of Gilderoy – we think he might have gone to the Kyber Pass Tandoori on the Romford Road. Does that mean I might get a game?
