Fantasy World Cup

[marc71178]

Fifa are running a game and it looks reasonably good and free:

McDonald's FIFA World Cup Fantasy

League code is 186272-44562

Can't pick players for a week or so (when final 23 man squads are announced)

 

[BoyBrumby]

Probably have a go.

[Noble One]

Joined. Very average side selected.

Have just selected my team. The 140 point cap is actually quite generous, as long as you have some North Korean filler in your squad.

 

[Matteh]

Indeed. Starting XI looks amazing.

 

[Steulen]

Indeed. Starting XI looks amazing.

My defence is crap, but it plays against teams even more crappy in the first round so hopefully will bag clean sheets.

Midfield and attack are World Cup winning.

 

[Matteh]

Buffon, Lahm, Mertesacker, Lucio, Van der Vaart, Kaka, Lampard, Ribery, Xavi, Messi, Rooney.

Carvalho, Vidic, Gattuso, Malouda, Altidore, Santa Cruz the genuine non filler bench options.

 

[Jarquis]

Casillas, Lahm, Chiellini, Samuel, De Rossi, Sneijder, Kaka, Lampard, Rooney, Fabiano, Villa.
Evra, Mertersacker, Sagna, Nani on the bench.

Liable to change. Especially when I have 3 genuine decent defensive options on the bench but no reserve striker hmm.

 

[Steulen]

See pic. You might spot a theme with the goalkeepers. The Beloved Leader will not be amused.

 

[Jarquis]

More strikers IMO.

Naturally...

 

[Somerset]

Gutted I forgot to enter this fantasy competition, because on the VirtualSports fantasy after day three I'm ninth out of 13,621 competitors...surprising even myself!

 

[Jarquis]

Have still got a ton of players to come. Think I've only had 4 play.
Plus I forgot how to play the bloody thing so have Evra, Sagna and Mertesacker all wasted on the bench.

 

[grecian]

Impressive Somerset

Yeah, I think a lot of us have a fair few players to come. Luckily I put Cahill on the bench.....
