This international break marked the launch of FFS UEFA’s latest team game, the FFS Hockey World Cup 2014. All the 12 teams have completed their recruitment and they are now ready to rumble. You can check out the player composition on the Squads Page.

What Next?

GW4 beckons. And with that – friendlies are here. Each team has challenged/been challenged to a friendly, which will allow teams to warm up their players and the management to test out their selection policy. The six fixtures are as below:

Belgium vs New Zealand

Netherlands vs Australia

England vs South Africa

Malaysia vs South Korea

Germany vs Spain

India vs Argentina

Lineup Submission

All managers are requested to email me their four substitutes and their FPL IDs before the deadline of Friday, 12 Sep, 2359 BST. In case he or she  fails to do so, the autosubs will be the last four players on the Squads Page.

Managers may also be likely to post any pressers on this article here. So be on the watch for latest team news, especially from your enemies.

As previously, please keep all the match day banter on this thread. And if you haven’t checked out The Fantasy Freak’s new quiz initiative to further fuel the team spirit in this arena, do so now – TFF’s Quizzes are back with a twist.

Let the pre-matchday drama begin!

    Good practice for them nonetheless.

    Team NED leads Team AUS by 705-638. Should be a routine win, well done to all my lads.

    Pretty happy with my 80 point haul, as well.

    P.S. The twitter feed ain't working, please fix it.

                        German captain Berbacat was seen partying with the German boys after their Friendly loss against Spain, and this was what he had to say about the friendly and the upcoming fixtures:

                        "I can't believe Spain even tried, did you see how many of our boys didn't captain Costa or Rooney? Clearly Spain are having a laugh..."

                        "South Africa? The captain's just as useless as me, really. Who in the world would cap Sterling before a Champions League game shows his complete lack of FPL pedigree".

                        "Oh, TOMMYTOUR's IN THE SQUAD YOU SAY? Well he must've done something decent like benching Wisdom for once. I remember beating his team Senegoal in Beach Soccer last year, but the lad won't get so lucky with Terry and Eriksen I'm afraid. Bet he kept that lucksack Mata too."

                        "Price changes? We've just had our pre-drinking session for Oktoberfest and you expect price changes to be fixed? What country are you from, Malaysia?"

                        "Beer, Tittays, and more beer. That's how we'll come out of this group."

                        "Spain should make it out of the group. I expect to see them again in the quarterfinals. We made a mockery of the game last year and we'll do it again."

                                Did we lose?

                                To be honest with you I have not been on the spreadsheet in two weeks.

                                I asked Zep we are playing this week about 4 hours ago.

                                I don't think he ever got back to me.

                                That's how us S̶e̶n̶e̶g̶o̶a̶l̶e̶s̶e̶ Kiwis operate.

                                  That probably explains why you've been so consistent in these comps 😆

                          Manager Lee Sha-do gives Team South Korea a bit of a surprise before the start of the tournament proper, with Emma Watson brought in for press shots and to provide the boys with some tips on the field: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5qpgykKg11rxw62fo2_400.jpg

                          Poor chat-up attempts ensue during the session from most of the lads, as we find ourselves just as bad with the ladies as we are at hockey 😳
