I’ve decided to run a UEFA Champions League style tournament this season for the FFScout community. This is going to be a spreadsheet-based game using your Fantasy Premier League scores in a tournament that mimics the format and dates of the UEFA Champions League tournament.

I’m looking to start with 64 entrants for the qualifying stages, which will produce 32 teams for the group stages and eventually lead to the knockout rounds.

The Qualifying rounds will be  a head-to-head format and will take place over Gameweeks 2 and 4 of the Premier League. The total score for both game weeks is counted and the highest total gets through to the group stages.

The group stages work much like the real thing, with eight groups of four teams playing each other twice over the course of the season. Teams will get three points for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The two highest scoring teams from each group will advance to the knockout stages of the tournament. All the group games will take into account each team’s FPL Gameweek score for the week closest to the actual Champion’s League dates. The fixture list will be released in due course.

The knockout stages are also a head-to-head style, much like the qualifying rounds are. Teams will play two legs on two separate Gameweeks and their total score will be taken into account for this. In the even of a tie, the team with the most goals scored will win. The final will only be one match.

Invites will be sent out in advance before the qualifying rounds begin along with the fixture list shortly after. If you’re interested, please drop me a mail at jaffaliciousffs@gmail.com with your FFScout name, team name and FPL ID and I’ll get back to you shortly.

    Not sure this is run by FFS UEFA? Atleast Billy never mentioned anything about it.

    Anyways had run this format about 4 years ago. One of the very first FFS tourneys I think.

    Feel free to use this spreadsheet. Good luck 🙂

      Hey ENR!

      I wasn't aware that you and Billy had organised one in the past! This tournament differs from the one in the link you sent though. Nevertheless, I hope it provides a lot of entertainment for the community!

      Feel free to join! 🙂

    ***UPDATE 2***

    Firstly, thank you to everyone who has applied for this competition. There has been a tremendous amount of interest and I am happy to say that we have now filled all 128 positions! 😀

    There is a reserve list in case some people drop out so if you have applied late, you are most likely on it.

    Once again, could all the people who expressed interest early on send me their FPL details so that I can record them. If you do not send me your details in time, someone from the reserve list will take your place!

    I will be releasing the fixture lists for the first qualifying round in a community article early next week, so be sure to look out for that. 🙂

    Cheers,
    Jaffa
