Chaps and Chapettes, welcome to the Community Watch Tournament!

The freshly-formed Community Watch Committee are delighted to announce this new tournament where teams such as Camerooney, Germané and Georgia Boyd will compete to win our coveted Community Watch League!

How does it work then?

The tournament consists of 20 teams, each with 7-10 members.

Every team will be led by a manager-cum-player who will pick six players to start each Gameweek, including a weekly captain who will score double points. The remaining players will be sent to the substitutes bench.

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.

These 20 teams will then compete in a mammoth head-to-head league.

When two teams face each other the team with the greater score will win and claim three points. If they have the same team score it will be a draw and both teams will receive one point. A loss garners no points.

Who is it for?

Anybody who is part of the FFS Community with an FPL team and Grav can enter.

We ask that you currently have a Gravatar to ensure we get maximum long-term tournament participation. For more information on how to get a Grav, see the Fantasy Football Scout FAQ section.

When will it run from?

The tournament will span a total of 19 fixtures from Gameweek 6 all the way to Gameweek 27, with some scheduled blanks in between.

How are the teams picked?

Managers will recruit their team-mates through an email-based bidding system. Players will be divided up into tiers based on their FPL history. The bidding will run from Gameweek 2 through to Gameweek 5 (more information will be available in an article scheduled around August 21)

How do I apply to be a player?

Simply fill out the form located here on our website (make sure you use the drop down to select player!).

Spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis so don’t hesitate! Deadline for applying as non-managers will be August 21.

How do I apply to be a manager?

Using the form located here on our website (again, make sure you use the drop down to select manager!).

Please provide any experience you have had in community tournaments and any other information that you deem relevant. The deadline for applying to be a manager will be August 14.

Aside from weekly and monthly accolades, there will also be season-long awards such as Best Bargain, Team of the Season and Most Valuable Player.

If you have any further queries you can email us at fantasycommunitywatch@gmail.com or place a comment below. We hope you enjoy our tournament.

      Thanks, it's not just me though - many of us have planned this 😀

      I wouldn't be too worried about that, it's completely optional. It's just a tool to try stand out from the crowd for when managers are looking at who they might want in their squads.

              That's something we plan on discussing soon. As it stands there's nothing in place, you are currently at the mercy of the managers. If you have a problem with someone you can always say to the manager of the team they're on "Please don't bid for me!'' and hopefully they'll oblige.

              We'll have a think on this...

                Yeah, it would be good if you could emulate something akin to the real football transfer market - like if two teams agree (bid) the same or similar (maybe have a 10% tolerance) transfer fee for a player and then the player him/herself gets to decide which team they want to join. The drama would be good!

                Or a feature whereby once a winning bid is established other teams get the opportunity to "match it" and then, again, it's up to the player.

                I don't know the mechanics so don't know if either of these suggestions are feasible.
