FFS UEFA Beach Soccer Tournament 2013

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.

    Tips from Tahiti # 1

    Team Selection

    We found a really useful trick that i thought as a host nation should be shared.

    1) All FFS members have access to the RMT tool. So get there.
    2) Enter the FPL ID of your player and you get his/her team of previous week.
    3) RMT allows you to directly copy-paste this onto a readable format in a Spreadsheet.
    4) Now repeat this for all team members and you have a great picture of what players your team members have, which should help in team selection every week.

    Ivory Coast press conference.

    As a result of multiple offers for Super Oscar Baby since his arrival on Ivorian shores we see no option but to accept one. Former world number one Julian Ziparro has moved from Taihiti in part exchange for Oscar with the rest of the deal being 1bn French pacific francs. (Yes SOB is worth that much) Julian will bring the cash with him and on arrival we shall have a traditional Ivorian Party. Pictures below. Latest comments from the Taihitian camp include a #friends from vice captain Thomass67. We wish SOB luck in his time with Taihiti.

              That's bull and you know it.

              It was set up to entertain the regulars. The regulars supported it and the regulars wanted to take part. Then the regulars were left out to include ringers.

              You might as well have picked 16 managers then contacted the World #1 through #176.

                It's what works best for each team. There's no rule that says you have to get 11 "regulars" (hate that word) else we wouldn't have an All-Twitter team or a All-TotalFPL team.

                  Sorry ENR but that's bull too. If you didn't have regulars, the idea would be dead in minutes.

                  Who would talk about it on the site and in the DZ?

                  You sold it to the regulars, regulars liked it, regulars made it happen. Regulars thought they had a chance to play. Then someone added the ringers.

                  From the FFS UEFA site:

                  "This game is aimed to bring out the “team” element to the fore, just like how it works in the real world. A team’s success isn’t dependent on one player alone after all."

                  How can you have a team element when half your team is never visible and contribute nothing to FFS?

                    All I'm saying is there's no point in trying to control each team by rules. At the end of the day, the manager, captain and VC decide who they want in the their team. Just do what you feel is best for your team is all in your hands. I'd assume each team knows what they are doing.

                  Making out like your competitions open doors and turn lurkers and ringers into well known and popular members who post regularly.

                      People only know about your comps because people on the FFS forum talked about them and want them.

                      Not something lurkers and ringers who never post can really do.

    Team Ivory Coast

    Seeing as we have made a record breaking transfer, how about a friendly that will help us recover some money?

    We realized USA and ourselves were in the same group, so the friendly is invalid. We challenge you to a friendly on the same condition:

    If Ivory Coast score 50 or less than Tahiti, their team will make 10 tweets with the hashtag #TrolledAtTahiti

    If Ivory Coast score 51 or more than Tahiti, we will make 10 tweets with any hashtag they want.

    You have another 24 hours to counter-propose or accept this offer. We look forward to hearing from you.

    Iran do you have a friendly yet? How about a rematch of that cup deciding semi final from the ICC? Sure the players may have changed, but were both clearly the favourites for this competition.

    For what it is worth
    I have made a few attempts to get into teams and been asked to apply for a few others, not with guaranteed spot I should say. I have looked through teams to see what I think they base their selection on to see where I best fit so as not to waste time and burden managers with applications that don't fit their criteria
    At this point I would say I believe it is up to them how they choose their team.
    In my research it would seem the teams fall into three categories
    1 those who aim for what the perceive to be high quality players, usually based on their history
    2 those who pick based on desire to offer a wider audience an opportunity
    3 those who pick based on previous knowledge and perhaps friendship

    For me there is therefore room in the tourney for most types of players, all be it a limited number but the tourney would probably need to be two years long to accommodate everyone.
    During my looking I did raise my eyebrows I few times when I seen some people who have been selected, either by their below average history, current rank or who the hell are they. But as I said it is their choice who they select.
    So those who don't get in have to just accept it.

      Team Iran based out selection on a mixture of past competitions, friendships and whether we liked the email the new people sent. We chose one of our members entirely on his email to us as he obviously fitted our ethos.

      In truth I emailed managers and offered to throw head to head match for a place, but does show a strategic mind

      I know you like to spew controversies out of nothing, but there's a point to which it can be tolerated. Sorry, I've lost a lot of respect for you today.

      The fact is we haven't broken any rules of recruitment. We know which team did. Simples.

        I think he sort of has a point, but I wouldn't say it's a major issue.

        I guess it just sucks a bit for all those people who are actively desperately trying to get in the competition, yet there are others who don't particularly care but have been head hunted anyway and gone straight in.

            I think a lesson can be learnt here, and that lesson is do your recruiting in private so that no one can see and call you up on it. 😎

      I only vaguely know about this competition, but why's everyone getting so worked up? Seems like a private league, so perhaps ultimately it's a popularity contest, but as it's privately done, that should be the organizer's prerogagative.

      I have no horse in this race, rather than not reading a string of insults. If they were amusing, fine, but it seems personal.

    I think in the spirit of honesty the uefa council should resign and it should become the peoples republic of uefa, with one vote for every member on every decision.
    Or elect an emperor
    Then nobody will be allowed to question anything
