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.

Looks a good team mate. Rodriguez is an interesting choice, ahead of the likes of Ozil, Silva etc?
Afternoon all, anyone spotted any OOPs or bargains? I’m currently considering Dzagoev (RUS, 4.5) and Guardado (MEX, listed as def). Immobile also looks like he might be good value depending on minutes, may look to bring him in after first round.
Blind is listed as a defender and he played as either a full back or defensive midfielder depending on van gaals formation selection.
Right guys this is the dilemma i currently have: Put simply, Neymar or Ronaldo?
Tough one. I’ve gone for neymar due to Brazil being In a better group and 1mil cheaper. However ronaldo has been the best player in the world this year.
Neymar, he is Brazil’s star man and Ronaldo looks to be carrying a slight injury. Not to mention is in a defensive group and more expensive.
Reckon Neymar for the golden boot this year.
Neymar, just.
Ok it looks like the love has gone Neymars way
Has anyone established if we can change formation when we do our substitutions yet?
I don’t know for sure but it seems like we can only sub out mid for mid, defender for defender etc during active gwks but can change formation for next gwks if we like.. i think. The game isn’t very informative.
Hey guys, are we able to make transfers now? I have completed my 23 but wanna make changes. Somehow the confirm transfer button is always greyed out.
Anyone else having the same issue?
I’ve been changing my team up since the game launched and have had no problems. make sure the changes you make aren’t bringing you over budget or anything like that.
Cheers NIN, I’ll keep on trying. The message i get is “The maximum number of players per team has been reached”.
Perhaps it’s the timing or something.
Not to state the bleeding obvious but have you got more than 3 from any team?!
sounds to me like you’ve picked four or more players from the one team, probably Iran or Honduras or something. We’re only allowed three per team.
