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.

                You built the strongest team in one day and we have the depth even if we lose one of our top 3. My worry is the group messages he sent and the affect it might have on team morale. You gotta act quickly boss and nip this in the bud before it gets out of control

        chapter 2 of my autopawography

        my effect on team morale

        on first day of my official position of --UAE royal mascot & global ambassador to the kingdoms & general of the secret police--- my pleasure was achieved by mocking tahiti and their locust like team recruitment,
        what happens i hear you ask upon this mocking being given, well i will tell you. They became the laughing stock of all nations and currently have the worst team since Jossies Giants.
        on second day of my official position of --UAE royal mascot, global ambasador to the kingdoms, general of the secret police and chief transport tester--- i moved my focus onto team swingongoal and what happens they start to lose their star players and will have to face the humiliation of bringing back a player they unjustly cast aside.
        so after this scientific analysis i have come to the conclusion that i am PSYCHIC DOG. with the power to corrupt weaker minds.

          When I saw it was you posting, I knew it would be about Tahiti. Jealousy and bitterness are not personable traits.

          Tahiti politely request that you immediately cease with this ploy and concentrate on your fanboy role in a way that doesn't insult other teams.

              Ladies and Gentlemen,

              Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening wherever you may be from Sunny Arsuz, Turkey.

              Team UAE converged on their secluded, private beach resort/training camp last night ahead of their friendly in Syria against Iran this weekend.

              The team are being put through their paces today in training by Team UAE manager Sheikh Emir Heels. The team are gelling very well on and of the pitch and are working well together on their tactics.

              Tonight the team will rest ahead of their short Helicopter ride over the border to Latakia, Syria tomorrow after brunch for some R+R, followed by some serious partying on Friday night with team Iran and the Syrian people prior to what has been dubbed "The friendly of all friendlies!"

              Keep up to date with all the latest Team UAE news on Twitter:

              Daniel thoughts on Captain Thomass.
              "He's a born leader," Daniel said of Thomass. "He's a thinker of the game. He's a proactive captain. He's willing to chance his arm to try and get his side ahead, and that's not always going to work, but he's willing to try something to get ahead in the game. He's got a great football brain and [is] just a natural leader, so he's got that respect in the changing room amongst most guys."

                        Ignore the guy above me. He's trying to cause trouble, not even in a team himself.

                        Some teams could have some spaces later tonight, pop back and put yourself forward if you see any openings.

                            @express, I gave you the credit that you were intelligent enough to see it was a joke.
                            Which obviously you are by the fact you didn't need to respond.

                              I was recruited, made no effort to be snapped up. Is that why you keep droning on?

                                  It is only a mild ribbing of Tahiti signing policy which I have exaggerated to show it is a joke. If it is really annoying just say I am sensing some annoyance from you

                                        To the Senegal quitter: It seems a bit OTT to cry in your cornflakes regarding team selection for a friendly. I assume you consider your team to be amazing and worthy of a starting berth. Does it matter? If you prove their selection to be incorrect it could result in team management changes and/our a starting berth for you when the team business starts next week.

                                        Conclusion: Relax, it's a game.

                                          In principle, you're correct. It is only a game.

                                          However, as a member of the FFS community yourself, you know how addictive this game can be. You have to have a certain level of self-belief that your team is the best it can be for every GW.

                                          Combine that with the "friendships" which are developed here and suddenly being left out of a "team" for the friendly is a slap in two faces at once.

                                                A captain should pick the team irrespective of friendships. If my captain deems me bench worthy I'd understand regardless of my feelings on personal team awesomeness.

                                                Generally we only care about doing well personally. If that contributes to team winning then great, if those points are on the bench that's fine too as I'd be happy I did well, not to mention highlights errors in captaincy.

                                                Toys out of pram people should consider quitting seeing as 4 people per team missing out is the way it's organised. They knew the score yet whinge, no sympathy

                                                  Normally I'd agree with you but, in this case, some back room politics were taking place with certain agreements being made together with some rather broad character assassination.

                                                  Put it this way, a certain "management" email was not supposed to end up being sent to the whole team.

                                                2FT

                                                a) Komp -> Evra and Brady -> Tonwsend
                                                b) other option...

                                                  Kompany is crocked so I would consider losing him, but don't take a hit.

                                                  If no Brady play Witts.

                                                  If fit I would be looking at Glen Johnson for Kompany.

                                                      Johnson is injured and not likely to be fit - Evs did say "If fit".

                                            Don't stress. I will explain tomorrow when I read out Senegoal's starting line up.

                                              Do you feel like sorting out a team for this weekend. Thenewname/Spanish Matador has tactical info for us apparently. Though I suggest that is best saved for the actual matches.

                                              Guys in seriousness maybe senegoal issues should be settled amongst themselves, in last few days this place has had some great banter and this issue could go the wrong way and give bad vibes on the thread, which results in people throwing their opinion in ( aware that I am doing just that).
                                              The uefa peeps have put a lot of effort into this and would be shame if started turning ugly.

                                              Wouldn't happen if we all pretended to be dogs 🙂

                                                Fair comment.

                                                It's just that we're pretty sure some managers will be checking this site and seeing the genuine comments even if they don't receive/reply to their emails.

                                                  Christina deserves to be fired as captain if she's having secret disparaging emails about her team. The truth must out for team unity and no bad feeling in the FFS community.

She was genuinely shocked 😀 Maybe I should have her read this last page so she can see how very real it is 😀

                                                    FFS does mirror society in many ways.

                                                    I've often sat and analysed the comments here then clicked on a posters FPL link to check their team which gives an insight into how they think. It's interesting to cross-check actual people's names against Facebook and Twitter to visualise that person to try and determine what makes them tick and how they interact with their social circles and make their life choices.

                                                    Oh, who am I kidding. I just sit around here all day in my underwear and think up new knob gags.

                                                  Anyone got time to do some analysis on the teams to see who is statistically the favourites? Based on FPL histories, I mean.

                                                    You could ask everyone to put their HoF rating against their team and then just divide each squad by 11 to give a team average 🙂

Overnight Senegoal seems to have from the testosterone fueled beast of the tournament to a group of school girls with secret emails and gossipy character assasinations. Rules be damned, can't we get Sporting back in the team for the good of the competition?

                                                  That's right, not content with a 24 man squad....Tahiti taking it further!

                                                            Must say the team spirit at the Solomon Islands camp is at an all time high right now,all team members have been getting along superbly and the mood in the camp is awesome.

                                                            Team Tahiti will be led out to failure "This cricket quote reminds me of them at the moment"

                                                            It'll be like sending your opening batsmen to the crease only for them to find, the moment the first balls are bowled, that their bats have been broken by the team captain.'

                                                            Team Tahiti in chaos....:)
