FF247 McDonald’s Fantasy Football World Cup Team

A 23 man squad? Rules that contradict themselves? A site we can’t trust to load up properly come transfer time? Players we have never heard of? Players valued at £1.0m? This all looks a bit odd… Must be World Cup time, bring it on, we love it!!!…. Welcome to our first ever World Cup ‘Rate My Team’ and to kick proceedings off FF247 has it’s very own fantasy team that is entering the competition!
The site address to enter is Mcdonalds Fantasy World Cup, you can register here. The official site league is called FF247 – simply enter this in the search bar on the league section and press JOIN!
Here is the FF247 team as it stands. FF247 welcomes suggestions and criticism aplenty but don’t be offended if you get it back! We jest, of course. Sort of. He has been known to bite though! FF247 himself will be around to discuss the team itself on this article thread and will take on board your thoughts and suggestions for changes ahead of the deadline on Thursday and there will be updates throughout the tournament as to the teams progress and hopefully thoughts on selection and strategies as it progresses.

And the subs…


This is by no means the final squad that FF247 will go into the competition with but rather an initial attempt at building a squad. A lot will depend on the feedback tomorrow and what is learnt from your own submissions and findings. The final squad will be published later in the week.
We also welcome your own Rate My Team posts on here as you begin to finalise those squads and starting line ups. Thoughts on formations, players or teams to watch, bargains, strategies or just whatever you want to post are welcome as always.

***SHOCKER ALERT****. ****SHOCKER ALERT****
In all the excitement of moving house and then spending every free hour doing Fantasy onethingortheother (cricket, mls, WC doubles, WC macDs), i’ve only gone and bloomin forgotten to buy a TV to watch the f’ing thing on!
Will try to pop out and get one tomorrow, but in case the mrs finds me other things to do, does anyone know of any good reliable websites i can watch it on?! (Streams that’ll work outside of the UK please!)
Thanks all.

Chins – http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index
That’s assuming you have a cable or satellite provider.
chins and bellies
Josh – thanks mate!.
We’ve gone with the biggest package (snigger) with verizon, so i hope it’s gots all the sports channels.
Kop Warrior
You mean you didn’t check first?!!!!!
chins and bellies
Kop, i sort of did. Biggest package was so that all the sports channels would be included. Reckon there might be a few more i can add on though.
I’ve let myself down a bit really.
It won’t happen again.
You set for some WC action? Did i see an Englishman or two in your team?
Kop Warrior
Chins – At least you’re embracing the American ethos of biggest is best
You did mate, I’ve got Stevie…
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
When you get tv and a provider make sure you go with DirecTV! Their footy coverage is fantastic, every single game from the EPL is broadcasted and Champions league.
chins and bellies
Mito, is Direct TV a provider (like Verizon is) or is it a set of channels i can subscribe to? – We’ve already signed up to verizon.

Definitely looking foward to watching all the 3pm (9am) kickoff on saturdays just as i roll out of bed!
Calvin Clyne
Not that I’d ever advocate the use of an illegal streaming website, but I have, ahem, heard tell of a decent one; goes by the name of sportlemon.
chins and bellies
Cheers Calvin. That’ll make for a nice back up plan if the leggit options don’t work out!
NIN
Chins, you wally!! Haha. I always use Wiziwig for streaming, i’m pretty sure it works in the U.S as well because a few of the MLS guys stream games off it so it should be good to go.
chins and bellies
Nice one nin. I’ll check it out.
Hope you’re well mate.
Potty Procky

Potty
ememeh
Morning. So, I haven’t signed up yet, and am about to look into the WC game. The site looks pretty dodge! But anyway, I can’t find anywhere which states the deadline. Anyone care to enlighten me??
Cheers!
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Morning Eme, go to the macdonalds site, sign up, pick your 23 man squad + give Potty an e-mail, site is sound.
inittowinit
The deadline is the kick off time of the first game I believe.
ememeh
cheers!
chins and bellies
Potty, if you’re struggling for numbers, is it worth signing up some of the Perfect 32 to the Dodgy comp as well? It would make for a better experience to have someone to play every gameday. I wouldn’t mind being in both, or you could pick a few at random? Works vice versa if you have gaps in the Perfect 32 too.

NIN
Great stuff Pottmeister.
inittowinit
Happy World Cup day everyone!
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Cock-A-doodle-Doo Chicken, is all ok with your good self ? Like that doubles team, Chins thinks he won already, Ha ! :shake:
inittowinit
Chins has been in his house for a week and only just realised he hasn’t got a telly. Something tells me we may be ok!
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Ha ! Ha ! I saw that post from the Texan Cowpoke.
Calvin Clyne
Do not underestimate the power of the Double Chins
And yes, happy WC day to all! Buzzing.
chins and bellies
Happy World cup day all!
Even you two Init and Elle! 😉
And yes, it ‘may’ have slipped my attention that i was missing a TV but that is only because i was that focused on supporting Calvin with creating the mighty Double Chins mirror team.
Anyway, let the football and numerous camera shots of sexy brazillian supporters begin!!
