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.
Is it just me who seems to be going with Aguero in their teams?
Maybe I’m just letting my Premier League bias cloud my judgement?!
If affordable, Messi all the way.
Neymar & Pjanic vs Fred & Vidal? Not seen many opting for Vidal in any case- is he injured?
Neymare & Pjanic for me. Vidal could be a good shout, they’ve a very tough group though and the recovery points for midfielders was slashed in half yesterday so he’s now an ‘iffy’ pick rather than a gem in my opinion, could still do the business though, we shall see.
Agreed on the midfielder points. Gerrard still a solid option though I think, who’s another I could offload to get in Vidal/JRod/Oezil or similar. Balls into the box though are points worth having.
Balls into the box, balls to the wall, balls on the chopping block…should be points for all of em!
Here here!! haha.
Yep, those points are well worth having, that’s for sure. I’d just rather go with someone who plays off the front, a 1-2 and a return ball is 2 passes into the box in a split second as opposed to Stevie-G lumping it up there or trying some mad through ball forgetting he isn’t aiming at Suarez anymore!! Haha.
Nin whats this about the recovery points being slashed in half?
they can’t keep changing the rules hours before the game starts! This has hardly been thought out well
photek – The rules changed yesterday, again! It’s now 1 point for every 2 recoveries rather than a point for every recovery. It kinda ruins a lot of those potential DM gems.
Thanks mate, i may have to re-think my strategy, tho having said that my brain is hurting having got this far with my team
Poor on McD’s to change the rules in the 11th hour tho
No problem. The recoveries and crosses etc still need to be taken into account but they’re not nearly as prominent as before. I’m off now for a bit. Happy tinkering.
I’m at that point where I’ve picked my squad.. and I think if I make one more change I’ll go bananas.

Potty, how can I see the league? I believe I registered with the league name and password you had emailed…
ATF is another McD glitch! Sometimes I can see the leagues I am in, sometimes I can’t.
