Hi Elliot,
The extra fields are to extend the WP standard user. After doing a remake of a large local government site a few years ago I like to try and keep all ‘people’ in one place.
After a bit of mucking around I got that to work. For the benefit of anyone else doing this here’s the code.

<?php if(get_field('people')): ?>
	<?php while(has_sub_field('people')): ?>
		<ul class="person">
			<?php $person=get_sub_field('person'); ?>
			<?php $person_id=$person['ID']; 
				$cell = get_field('cell', "user_{$person_id}"); 
				$phone = get_field('phone', "user_{$person_id}"); 
				$firstname=$person['user_firstname'];
				$lastname=$person['user_lastname'];
				$email=$person['user_email'];
				$userid=get_field('user_{$person_id');
				echo $personid;
			?>
			<li> <?php echo get_avatar( $email, $size, $default, $alt ); ?> </li>
			<li class="persondetails">
				<?php echo $firstname; ?> 
				<?php echo $lastname; ?> 
				<?php echo $email; ?> 
				<?php if ($cell != '0'){ ?>Cell: 0<?php echo $cell; ?><?php } else {} ?> 
				<?php if ($phone != '0'){ ?>Phone: <?php echo $phone; ?><?php } else {} ?> 
				<?php the_sub_field('person=>user_lastname'); ?>
				 <a href="<?php echo get_edit_user_link($person_id); ?>">edit person</a>
			</li>

		</ul>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

The number fields seem to strip leading zeros and default to zero. Not sure if there’s a more sensible way of dealing with phone numbers, but this seems to work ok for me.
I wasn’t sure about using ‘user’ as a field name. It’s not a reserved word, but having multiple ‘user’ labels can make things pretty confusing.
