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.

Would you go for Rojo over Zabeleta?

If I replaced Zaba with Rojo, I might be able to upgrade Cillessen to Cesar. Not really sure I wanna do that though.
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
I do it because it allows to afford someone else I wanted with the spare cash. Zabaleta is basically a winger when Argentina has the ball. Rojo has to stay to form a back line of 3 which allows Zaba to venture forward, so if you have the spare cash Zabs is a good shout.

Given the bonus points for both balls into the box and recoveries I actually think he’s a decent shout.
Anti Top Four

Just replaced Lahm with Gerrard. Do we think this as a good move? I reckon Gerrard has a greater assist/goal potential with his set piece duties. I’m just worried he’s too old to last 90 min in the Brazilian heat. Is that something to worry about?
full time
Who will start in goal for Holland?
