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.
Why are so many people picking Baines?
balls won, balls in the box, tackles, will take some set pieces…….
I don’t think there’ll be many goals in the English group either so he could pick up a couple of clean sheets.
I’m pretty sure I read a stat that England have kept 7 clean sheets in their last 10 WC group games.
With that said, Baines or Mertesacker?
Baines for me ATF
So with the scoring is it better to have wing backs rather than centre backs?
Afternoon and Happy World Cup Day!
Couple of quicks one for you (pick on from each):
1) Messi or Ronny
2) Kos, Erva or Baines
Cheers
Messi and Evra, IMO…best wishes
Cheers ATF (and Kop)
Evra also means I have 0.5 to upgrade else where!
#moretinkeringrequired
+1
I’d concur with ATF
Next one
1) Hazard or Yaya/Iniesta
2) Gerrard or Silva or Modric
Go…
Iniesta and Gerrard, IMO (although I am currently going with Ozil)…best wishes
+1
Sidwell
ha, he will be first on my list next year Cookie #sidwellgate
Anyone else agree/disagree with ATF?
Yaya & Modric for me.
krul – karnezis
vertonghen – baines – evra – manolas
di maria – ozil – gerrad – bruyne – valbuena – bentalob
messi – muller – fred – lukaku
Krul won’t be in goals for the Dutch
who to pick, then?
Clillessen is the Dutch keeper
but, what about krul and vorm?
They’re 2nd and 3rd choice
Shaqiri,Lahm or Pjanic ?
Hmmm, i’d have to say Shaqiri from those three mate.
Hello!
