World Cup Coming, fantasy team formed

With 20 days until the opening kickoff of FIFA World Cup 2006, it’s time to jump into the fantasy team planning. I finished fourth in the SportsFilter Premiership fantasy league and would love to improve on that for the biggest tournament on th eplanet. The FIFA fantasy site seems different than all the other sites I’ve played on because there’s no player budget and I could simply select the best players, but only three from any one squad. So no just clicking all the Brazilians.

Here’s my starting 11, at least for now:

Forwards: Thierry Henry (France, Arsenal), Lionel Messi (Argentine, Barcelona), Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo, Arsenal)

Midfielders: Ronaldinho (Brazil, Barcelona), Kaka (Brazil, AC Milan), Frank Lampard (England, Chelsea), Damarcus Beasley (USA, PSV Eindhoven)

Defenders: Gabriel Heinze (Argentina, Manchester United), Rafael Marquez (Mexico, Barcelona), Ashley Cole (England, Arsenal)

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech (Czech Republic, Chelsea)

Man, this is gonna be fun!
