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.

Can anyone tell me, is Dos Santos nailed for Mexico ?
Calvin Clyne
From everything I have looked up and read, he is nailed Elle. Seems it’s Hernandez that is unlikely to start.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Sound, cheers Calvin.
Calvin Clyne
I know you’re not on the twitterweb Elle, so just in case you happened to miss it earlier I refer you to a very quick new league at the bottom of page 8. Just takes 1 minute, literally. Please ignore if you saw it and don’t want to play, cheers.
To everyone else getting pissed off with my shameless spamming, this will be the last one ok!
ALSED FC

Al, dunno, i’m waiting on the question above.
Veer
Guys how much longer until the deadline? And am i allowed to play 4 up front?
Josh721
Nope, 3’s the limit.
Veer
Thanks. And when’s the deadline?

2 hours 20 mins

Who is the best 7M striker for McD?
I currently have Lukaku, but quite unconvinced with him as he wont get much defensive or set pieces points. I also have KDB already. Anyone know about how Vargas plays for Chile? Or other 7M recommendations?
Tekno-kun (The 69er, Winner of Potty's 1st ever Twitter Comp; twice CL Comp winner, current profession: mage, formerly: big bad dawg; hallway monitor; tranny; wannabe Nazi commander)
Dzeko should net a couple of goals.
The B
No set piece duty and lack of movement in the middle of the pitch brings down his appeal. Im looking for a solid striker.
The B
Actually i just managed to raise the budget to 8.5M
Tekno-kun (The 69er, Winner of Potty's 1st ever Twitter Comp; twice CL Comp winner, current profession: mage, formerly: big bad dawg; hallway monitor; tranny; wannabe Nazi commander)
Benzema then
Josh721
Vargas has scored 12 goals in his last 15 international games. And I think he had 5 goals in qualifying and has 3 goals in the last 2 games.
The B
Interesting.
Pippin
The B, I’d say Benzema too, he’s my 3rd striker. Though Vargas is a very tempting budget option in storming form, and he would free up cash for the midfield
The B
I have 5 decent mids already and cant see any better upgrades there, so ill have to use the money for strikers.
NIN
The B – Gotze at 7.5m (i think) could be a great shout. Whether he starts every game or not is another issue.
Veer
I have to sacrifice one out of Suarez, Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar. Which one and why?
Tekno-kun (The 69er, Winner of Potty's 1st ever Twitter Comp; twice CL Comp winner, current profession: mage, formerly: big bad dawg; hallway monitor; tranny; wannabe Nazi commander)
Suarez because he’s an injury doubt and plays for the poorest team.
Pippin
Ronaldo is in a tough group, and I’m convinced by Portugal. Suarez is working hard to be fit, but might not be. I’d drop them both tbh.
Pippin
*unconvinced by Portugal!!
Calvin Clyne
+1
HL
Ronaldo ! :hippo:
The B
One of Suarez or Ronaldo.
NIN
Veer – Suarez for me. If he was 100% fit he’d be in my team but with the possibility of him missing Uruguay’s opener (their easiest fixture), i think it’s best to drop him ahead of any of your other forwards.
Veer
Who’s a good 2.5 mid who starts regularly?
Pippin
I have Bedoya of the USA. He should play.
