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.
Are Zemmamouche or Mbohli Algerie’s 1st keeper?
There’s no confirm team button in the ‘my team’ page right?
Oh sorry, it says there’s not :hippo:
Hey guys can I get a RMT please with any advice to better it thanks.
Cesar (Cillessen & 1 x cheap)
Pique Zab Merts (Monolas & 3 cheap)
Oezil Di Maria Valbuena De Bruyne (Izaguirre Bentaleb & 2 cheap)
Messi Fred Lukaku (Dzeko & 1 cheap)
Really not sure about my defence or Oezil. Any advice is welcomed.
Thanks
Anyone?
Full time, I think you’re all set mate. Oezil could be switched for JRod or Vidal, but you look in good shape.
Like the team. Some good differentials there.
oi oi. Ive just logged into the website. It keeps popping up ‘BRIBE’???? Is this normal. Oh BTW am I too late. Cant seen to pick my team?
Chopper, I think Sepp Blatter is trying to reach you then.
OZIL or LAHM ?
Jeet, who is your doubles partner ?
Ill prefer Ozil. But beware of the tough group.
Can someone explain me the subbing rule in McD or give a link to the comment if it has been explained already?
Lets say I choose to play these 4 mids:
Di Maria – Oscar – Palacios (Honduras) – Pogba
with KDB and Ozil sitting on the bench, both playing at least a day later than all of the above 4. And now lets say both Pogba and Palacios fail to perform, can i bring in Ozil and KDB both in place of Palacios and Pogba?
How many such subs are allowed?
Or lets say Palacios fails to perform only from my starting 4 mids. So i replace Palacios with Ozil. But then Ozil also fails. So can i now replace Ozil again with KDB, who plays a day later than Ozil?
I think it’s unlimited substitutions so long as the player coming in hasn’t yet played. Whether you can modify your formation during a round, I’m not sure.
Thanks Pippin. I hope this substitution rule you all are talking about it true because Im playing a Honduras midfielder ahead of both Ozil and KDB, which sounds pathetic at the moment.
My thoughts exactly B! We’re all gonna look right stupid if the widely held conception isn’t actually the correct interpretation and we’ve got 3 Hondurans in the starting 11 :-/
I certainly hope we are right. I have 3 Iranians and 3 Algerians dying for some game time later on in the GW.
