FFS UEFA – World Cup 2014

Geeks and geezers alike – Summer’s here! That means, no Fantasy Premier League distraction but should that mean no Fantasy Football? Not at all. With the world’s biggest footballing event set to commence, we are delighted to announce latest in the series of the FFS UEFA team competitions

Wake up managers. Presenting to you – FFS World Cup 2014.

Overview

Participating in the World Cup are 32 countries, just imitating the real tourney. Each country has 5 team members each, who play every matchday. Each team is led by a captain and vice-captain.

The schedule itself is guided by the World Cup fixtures, while the scoring for individual players will be based on the McDonalds Fantasy game.

Sounds pretty similar to past team events, doesn’t it?

Here’s the twist in the gameplay:

The scoring of each team won’t be based on sum of 5 player scores. It will be based on the position in which they’re playing. Each team has 5 different playing positions – GK, Def, DM, AM and ST. 

The captain and the vice-captain decide on its formation before every matchday (ie. who plays in what position). Goalkeeper position is fixed throughout the cup. The remaining positions are dynamic. Then it becomes a compilation of 5 H2H games every matchday (Davis Cup style) – GK vs ST; Def vs AM; DM vs DM. A h2h win is considered as goal scored for the team.

You can always refer to the Cup Spreadsheet for more details

How can you join the fun?

Each team captain decides who we wants in his team. So from now until the 29th of May, those interested in becoming captains, can drop their name down in the registration link.

Once the captains are announced on the 30th of May, the scouting period for team members begins.

Join the fun!

Best,

      Currently it seems the best with the "recovered balls" situation.

          Not playing the game so haven't looked into it or the RMTs. Not sure who it suits.

        Captaincy is out of the question, but I still might find time to manage a team on my phone. Not sure I have the battery for it though...

    Sorry but want to know whether we need to make changes in our team on what our's captain and VC decide to? Or changes will be self made, jst position will be decided by C and VC?

      Latter. You're in control of your own McD team.

      The Captain and Vice-Captain only decide the position of you, the team member, in the team.

    Briefly read this macdonalds rules , leads me to a few of questions

    So we are all going max defence , 5 at the back ?

    Consisting of full backs ...or centre backs or full backs for recovered balls ?

    And seen a couple of post saying ' if the rules stay the same ' . Is just wishful thinking because the rules look a bit silly or is there a chance they will actually change ?

    ...also 'unlimited ' transfers most windows' ...really ???

    Thank you Mark and co. 🙂

    Also lads, we've just been presented with a pleasant surprise.

    Pratik, the founder of live scorecast, has returned from his hibernation state in light of this tourney. So we'll be likely having live scorecast yet again.

    Also, everyone is encouraged to apply for captaincy. It's a great way to showcase your patriotism and creativity towards a country you cherish or support or are allocated 😉

      I saw a different option there when you said that every team member has a particular position. What if the score for the team is based on the Keepers keeper score, the Defenders defenders scores, the Midfielders midfield score and the Forwards forwards score...

      Obviously that is a completely different idea to this, and me and lightknight will be in hot demand for the defensive role with our 5 at the back formations.
