Run over two gameweeks, starting on December 28, the highest collective score will walk away with at least €30,000! The entry fee is €1050 but Fanteam Fantasy Football want to make the competition to accessible as possible to everyone. Some lucky users will be able to enter the WCOFF for much cheaper than that. In order to do so you need to enter qualifying contests, clealy specified in the Fanteam Fantasy Football lobby.
You need to get a move on, however. This weekend, for example, there is a full Premier League round contest with a direct satellite into the World Championship of Fantasy Football. There are two entry points: €11 or €55, with a larger jackpot for the more money you are willing to spend to play.
We have even taken the steps to reveal our XI for the weekend, with additional analysis on three of our selections.
Dele Alli (Tottenham) - 10.2M
Jose Mourinho has already lost against one of his former clubs as Tottenham manager but the statistics are in his favour to make amends when he faces another of his old employers in Chelsea this weekend. Mourinho has never lost a home league game against his former clubs and even more impressively has won 12 times out of 13.
With that in mind, Dele Alli should certainly come into the equation for your Fanteam Fantasy Football team. The England international has been in good form since Mourinho's appointment with seven goals and assists in his last six appearances in all competitions. Not only that, but Chelsea is Alli's joint favourite opponent in terms of goals scored in his career (six goals).
Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) - 9.9M
John McGinn was Aston Villa's best player at the start of the season and now it is very much club captain Jack Grealish, who continues to be linked with big money moves and international recognition with England. The 24-year-old has played a direct hand in seven goals in his last 10 appearances in all competitions (five goals, two assists).
Grealish will be key to Villa's chances of beating relegation rivals Southampton on Saturday. Villa are winless in their last four Premier League matches but picked up a morale-boosting 5-0 cup win over Liverpool in midweek, albeit against a group of teenagers. Southampton aren't faring much better, however, with two straight defeats in the league.
