POPCORN AT THE READY!

Many of the profession’s finest have signed up and are ready to compete for the jewel in its crown, the FFS Manager Melee Community Tournament.

PLAYERS ASSEMBLE!
The organising committee are proud to announce that player recruitment is now open.
In a change to last year’s format this process will not be done by an auction but instead by the managers themselves.
What this means is that all aspiring players need to post on here and explain why they want to play and what makes them a good pick. It’s not all about rank; a willingness to not only participate but contribute to the action on these articles is the most important attribute you can have.
We strongly recommend that you get a grav (please refer to the FAQs if you don’t know how to) as this will help distinguish you to the respective managers.
Our bosses will be posting on here too looking for players and will provide their details so also look out for this. Good luck everyone and happy recruiting!
COMPETITION TIME
To complement the inventive team names we are running a photo editing contest: simply take a poster of your relevant movie/show and incorporate your manager; the best one will be automatically placed in pot 1 for our group stage draw! Have a blast in the editing suite and we look forward to seeing your finished creations.
AND FINALLY
All the details of the competition can be found here: https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/10/29/announcing-the-ffs-manager-melee/
The next article will be published in the run up to gw13, just before the seeding round takes place.
If you have any further queries or comments you can email us at ffscommunityorganisers@gmail.com or place a comment below.
We hope you enjoy our tournament!
The FFS Manager Melee Committee is: Darth_Krid, Lawro, Speedyboyzzzz, Toblerone52, Mr. Hindsight, Rhinos, Boris Bodega, FC Lackless, and Professor B.
5 years, 5 months agoPlease please please somebody pick me to be in their team. This is bringing flashbacks of playground anxiety already, I'll sit on the bench, wash the kit, I'll go in goal with my mum's gardening gloves, I don't care. I'd just like to be included in your fun.
I've been a little slow on the uptake, but If there are any spaces left in any of teams (I'm clearly not fussy) give me a holler and I will drop everything to help out.

Had a bit of a checkered history which I can explain during interview, but am doing quite nicely so far this season, who knows, I could even be an asset.
