Gameweek 8 sees the launch of the latest team competition for the Fantasy Football Scout community organised by FFS UEFA. Following the success of last season’s ICC-themed cricket tournament, the group have created FFS Beach Soccer World Cup 2013, with 16 teams, each comprised of 11 players, competing for the crown.

If you’re new to the concept and are wondering just what all the chatter has been about, here’s a link to their site which will help explain matters in a little more detail.

Essentially, the scoring is based around the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game.

Each team started scouting for players (ie, FPL managers) on Sunday, October 6 and the recruitment period will come to a close on Wednesday, October 16, with the roster of team players announced on Thursday, October 17.

The teams are led by a captain and vice-captain and guided by a manager, who decide which seven of their 11 players to field each week – depending on the perceived prospects of their FPL line-ups -and which four to bench. Their overall FPL scores for the Gameweek, with hits taken into account, will form the team’s score that week – by outscoring their opponents, they chalk up a win.

The first match in Gameweek 8 will be no more than a friendly before the main event gets underway the following weekend. This sees the 16 teams compete in four groups of four between Gameweek 9 and 11 – the top two teams from each group will progress to the knockout stages, where sides square up in a head-to-head elimination process from Gameweek 12 until the final in Gameweek 15. For anyone looking for further information on how the tournament works, click here for extra details.

Over the past few days, the tournament has become a popular topic on our site as the recruitment drive gets underway. As a result, we have created this article to keep discussion on the tournament to one particular place – we’ll ensure the article is kept featured at the top of the homepage, thus making it easier to find for those already involved or looking to do so.

Good luck to all those taking part.

                      There's no rule as such. Can't expect people to provide evidence to every signing!

                      With so much demand, why would you want to have a player who doesn't want to play anyway.

                        Because its might be all about winning? hence chasing down players with a high rank who don't post or possibly even use FFS.

                            Fair enough. So long as people are making an effort to recruit and not just putting anybody in without their permission.

                              I'm recruiting the current world number 1 and by the end of the night I'll own the @O'Donoghue twitter account to prove its a legit signing.

                Yes the player has to agree to play, and yes ENR has acted properly, albeit via twitter. Matt the Spiderman refused to play for Tahiti.

                    I was joking. I know the rules don't prohibit recruiting players who aren't actually participanting, but then the rules don't prevent me from ribbing Tahiti about it.

                              Thanks for offer, I didn't see it but probably not much point as it would just add to your burden, and having looked at your team I think it will do much better without me dragging it down.

                              good atmosphere, but please refrain from using any words with "Jap" in it - well known racial slur

                            Japan 12-1 ON to win tournament?

                            Tahiti 3-1 to get relegated even though there are no relegation rules?

                          Impact subs - Zipparo, K3lvin

                          Watching a few beach soccer videos, it looks like the impact subs are the most important players in the game. Tend to score more goals than starters.

                                Ryan's just saying it's good to have the superstars of your team on the bench...
                                Since Tahiti lack in that department, they'll just have to work with what they've got.... (the better ones of their team on the bench)

                                Wondering what our starting line will be. I expect it will be all conquering 😉

                                  Me too! I dont mind getting benched at all, if its of the teams best intrests. But i do have a very strong squad with favourable fixtures for all my 11.

                          I know this zone is purely BS talk but, i am in a fix.
                          Start Fonte vs United
                          or Hernandez vs Sunderland.

                          Eitherway, the other player would be the first priority sub.

                            Hernan for me. Benching mids over defs is always a risky affair.

                                Fair enough. I call my Japanese mates japs all the time. It's not offensive here but Australia is like that.

                                  They are your mates, that's the difference. Calling someone random that would likely have a different response.

                                    I don't think it's seen as offensive here. We really just as a short version of Japanese because as you know we like to shorten words 😉
                                    Saying something like grrr bloody japs would be offensive but no more than saying grrr bloody japanese. There's many offensive slurs asians cop in our country but a simple abbreviation isn't IMO.

                                        It could hardly be mistaken as being derogatory though.

                                  Yup I understand that, and sympathise with it - me and my fellow Spurs fans call each other Yids, but if say Israel was in the BSWC, I don't think I could throw that one around here either.

                                  The thing is, that this site caters to the whole world, and FPL is growing every year also in Japan, so it best to err on the side of right

                            Thanks for the Info...
                            we definitely wouldn't want that... this beach soccer thing shouldn't deem offensive to anyone...

                            And the underlying currents of sexism across the site?

                              Yeah sexism is still a work in progress world wide I think. Racism by contrast is being stamped out a little quicker. Its the nature of the beast as to what society things is and isn't acceptable and it varies all over the world as well.

                                It's xenophobia, not racism.

                                  Just looked that word up in the dictionary. You are right.

                            My Grandad always used to call them "The Japs". He fought against them in the Chiditz campaign in Burma jungles but he didn't hold a grudge, it's just what they called them.

                              To be fair, that was 70 years ago and your views would be different if you fought them as an enemy.

                              It's great that your grandfather used to tell you about those times though. Those memories should be kept alive. But the prejudices that lead to that war (and other wars) should be forgotten.

                                No, that's what I'm saying, he realised that they didn't want to be fighting anymore than he did, so he had absolutely no hard feelings against "the Japs". In fact, he talked so much about the war, I think it was a good experience in a strange way. 60 years on he would still talk Indian sometimes like "Jildy Jow" (?) or something for "hurry up"! 😆

                                  Sounds like a top bloke. Those guys were just doing the job they signed up for. Soldiers were just men at work.

                                  Glad he came out of it OK.

                                    He did but a lot of his mates didn't. He wrote a memoir of his time that was included in some book. It was pretty brutal stuff, stuff he had never told anyone. Horrible campaign.

                            When we moved into our current house there was an outside toilet with "The Jap" written in the bowl.

                          looks like I'm up against El Salvador's Milanista in the FA cup GW8. It doesn't get much bigger than cambridge city vs ebbsfleet utd. Hoping to get one up on Holland's group B rival!
