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.
Which is best?
1) Messi Fred Dzeko Lukaku or
2) Messi Hulk Muller Lukaku?
Thanks.
fred & muller if they fit in.
no don’t fit. Unless I downgrade Oezil to Lahm?
then, go for 1.
1) for me Full time
+1
2 for me.
1 for me
Thanks everyone.
Anybody in Group E of Potty’s league may as well give up now…
Actually anybody involved in it may as well give up now as I already have this sewn up.
Let the banter commence.
What do we think of Neymar? He’s my only Brazil cover. Is cheaper Fred/Hulk a decent shout with the money reinvested in the midfield?
Hi pippin. It depends on your approach to it really. If you’re going for a big squad of playable’s then Fred or Hulk would be a decent shout, otherwise it’s Neymar all the way.
Neymar is my only brazil cover too but i think i’d rather have him over the other 2.
If you want money to invest ,id go for Fred over Hulk
Good afternoon.
Here is how the FF247 team is shaping up.
Karnezis (Courtois Escober)
Alves Nyom Evra (Mesbah Almeida Yepe Manolas)
Di Maria Oezil Valbuena Palacios (J) (Rahmani Bentaleb Beikzzadeh K D Bruyne)
Messi Neymar Ronaldo (Heydari Djabou)
What do we think?
Interesting selection. I’d probably ditch Courtois and and get a better midfielder/defender.
alot of money tied up in the front 3, i’d downgrade one and beef up the mid
Don’t think J.Palacios starts its W.palacios.
Correct
The Jerry version is a forward who’s likely to come off the bench. He is a filler anyway.
Fair enough.I also have him as a cheapie
Well, it’s done:
Cillessen, Karnezis, numpty
Zabaleta, Evra, Baines, Schaer, Manolas, numpty, numpty
di Maria, Valbuena, de Bruyne, Lahm, Yamaguchi, Bentaleb, numpty, numpty
Messi, Benzema, Neymar, Lukaku, numpty
Only 7 hours left for me to change my mind umpteen times!
Bonza – Looks a good squad, solid all round. I’d be tempted to ditch Baines for someone cheaper, in the 4-5m range and upgrade Lahm. Aside from that i likes it!
Cheers NIN. Who would you upgrade Lahm to? Ozil? J Rod?
Bonza – I’ve gone with Ozil myself, i think he’s in for a good tournament. Rodriguez is one who’s making me think though, he could be a great pick.
Afternoon lads,
How about a quick WC RMT?
Cesar
Vermaelen/Evra/Rojo
Shaqiri/Ozil/Hazard/Di Maria
Higuain/Pedro/Neymar(c)
Subs:Cillessen/Abate/Feghouli/Random cheapies
£1m in the bank
Thanks
Beast!
A few gambles in there to me… Are Vermaelen or Pedro going to start? Higuain to Aguero if you have money to spend? Hazard to KDB gives a lot of cash to splash around. I like Shaqiri though, tempted by him myself.
