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.

      Unlikely. Even if its 1 point per player, its a min of 3+9= 12 for Iran vs 1+ 4= 5 for UAE.

    Daniel, the self styled "Special One" and Thomasss, the "famous one" are said to be considering their positions tonight. Meanwhile, the Tahiti Board has reiterated it's full backing for the duo. Discontent over the team's chaotic recruitment policy has been followed by concerns over team selection, with factions in the dressing room said to be unhappy with the way this has been handled.

    Against this backdrop, the pair needed their team to do its talking on the beach, however this has not yet been the case...

              Absinthe San,
              Dont know whether you realise it but eventhough the charts show me on 58 points and you on 56 points, after the subs come off the bench you will be on 61 and me on 60. You are the current topscorer of Team Japan. Congrats.

              But Japalad san and Tokyo Red san are also on 55 and 57 respectively with Dawson yet to play. TokyoRed could well be the topscorer but unfortunately both are in the bench. Lost points for Japan.

                  Seen that was looking to see if there is a way to see each individual scorer for teams, particularly your head to head games.

                    Yes, press the arrow next to the team name, and all player names on the pitch appear with individual scores.

                How is everyone's bench doing?

                Apparently Ukraine have benched their highest scorers Gaz 66, Athletic 62, Green Windmill 65

                  Did the same with Solomons, 77 and 68 on the bench. But at least it's keeping some suspense in the Twitter bet.
