The Weekend Team News

Yes I think so

To keep the password secure the manager of the week would liaise with one of the contrib/mod team each week to go over transfer values and tell them who to dump and who to bring in.

Like the idea. Just pick me.

A community team where there is a Poll that decides on changes......

First 3 days of week for example people suggest changes (leave/save, A to B or A and B to C and D), then the most popular ideas are put in a poll and we all vote.

Really would be THE PEOPLES TEAM then......

DO it... do BOTH

Put my name in a hat and pull it out

Well someone needs to break up the dominance of the moderators in that league - top 4 spots taken 😎

A sort of Mods vs the rest? I like it.

Good idea.

I'd like an article which covers some of the posters on here and their form, ideas, lucky and unlucky transfers. In other words, a little maneuvering of the Community Round up

I think they would need to have some history with the site, not just turn up in July and put their name forward only to be nowhere around in GW5 when they'd got bored because they weren't winning.

With that in mind maybe half a dozen emergency sub managers willing to step in if required?

You could just to a community vote for any changes to the team

May cause some rifts between members if they argue about a past decision/decision to be made.
BUT Good fun idea! 🙂

There could be a community poll at the start of the week of all the managers who've thrown their hat into the ring. Winner of the poll gets control of the team for the week.

I'm very democratic 🙂

Would it not be easier to just set up a league where 2/3 posters have a team that they manage over the season. Teams with Highest GW score, monthly score etc could be covered then in the community round up. Recruitment and building the squad will add a bit to pre season too.

All the FPL minds collaborating to make One Super Team. I like it. 🙂

Top 38 contributors on the site by volume of posts but with a veto by you guys of anyone who just posts drivel all the time.

I'd love to see this run as an experiment to see if the wisdom of crowds is greater than that of individuals.

If it was just 38 managers it wouldn't be so interesting for those of us not involved. Just as the Scoutcast team is a waste of time currently.

Given price changes, it might be hard to run this through the week, so perhaps a one day window on the Thurs or Fri. Give us drop downs for player out & player in. Choosing whether to make multiple transfers might be a hard problem to solve though.

I think its a bad idea to have people managing more than one team I doubt people would be happy if they thought there was one rule for FFS and another rule for everyone else. Wasn't a team kicked out recently that was doing pretty well for being a multiple?

Why not have two community teams in your league? One decided by Community Poll brainstorming, and the other by allowing a different community member to manage it each game-week.

The 38 managers of the latter could be selected by random choices from the paid-up membership list. And perhaps they should be contacted shortly before their game-week to check that they are still active and willing to do it.

No need for them to know the password - they could just pass their instructions to a member of the mods & contributors team to make the changes for them. They might need to continue communicating though the game-week as they decided which transfers to make and when, which players to bench, and which to be captain and vice-captain. Hope you don't get someone who leaves their final decisions to the last few minutes before the deadline, or keeps changing their mind every five minutes.

There is perhaps a risk that one of these manager might destroy the squad with ridiculous changes, so perhaps the mods & contributors should reserve a right of veto against anything too ridiculous, such as bringing in 15 hopeless players with their wildcard or taking an excessive number of hits when a wildcard is not available.

I would be very surprised if one of the early managers does not decide to play the main wildcard. The first manager in January will also probably be the only one to have the opportunity of playing the January Wildcard.

Perhaps the manager of the week should communicate their ideas through a hot topic, rather than by contacting the mods & contributors team privately?

...re the hot topic, this could also allow the manager of the week to discuss his ideas for the week's changes with other community members.

I like the idea! Perhaps even one team to represent each continent. I know that could be a bit much....or perhaps a DZ team and a normal team.....

***Toffs and Proles***

Two or three years ago, when the FFS membership scheme was first introduced, there used to be a Toffs and Proles League which pitted members against non-members. Perhaps we could have separate Toffs and Proles teams in your Mods and Contribs League.

Also, since the FFS UEFA Council have become an influential power-block within the FFS community, perhaps they could be allowed to enter a combined team too.

And there could also be a team representing all the mods and contributors (not just Mark and Granville). Changes to this team could be decided at the same time as the Scout Picks are selected.

But I wouldn't be at all surprised if Evs' team finished above all these combined teams!
