For those that don’t know me, I go by ‘Goldman’ here on FFScout. I have been a member on this site since the start of last season ,which has led to me meeting lots of new faces and ultimately becoming a much better Fantasy Premier League manager.

I have taken part in a wide variety of community events and tournaments such as Last Man Standing, and the FIFFSA World Cup last season and believe these tournaments really are a great way for people to get involved and feel part of the community.

This brings me to my idea of the Fantasy Football Scout Fifa Football Club (FFS FC).

Many of us football fanatics here on FFSscout need more than just waiting for the weekends to come to watch our favorite club on the TV, while anxiously waiting for our players to produce the goods to help us grab those green arrows. The FFS FC is for those who enjoy playing EA Sports’ Fifa during the week and especially to help us get through those dreadful international breaks.

The idea here is to create a group of all who share the same interest in the game and create leagues and/or tournaments where we can all participate and work towards discovering who the best FIFA player is in the FFScout ranks.

Alongside this idea is the ambition to set up a FFS Pro Club.

For those that don’t know much about Pro Clubs, you basically create a player, pick your position and join the Club and help move up the world rankings as a team. I have created a Club for FFScout members, and only those from the community can join. It’s called FFScout FC and you are all welcome, even if you don’t think you are that great, the idea here is that we can help each other get better and work as a team to rise in the ranks.

Most of us may not be expert Fifa players, and so may feel as though you should avoid playing against others as to not embarrass yourself on the pitch…but the idea here is that it’s all in good fun, to be a part of the community and enjoy the game together, learning with each-other along the way. I’ve been playing Fifa for almost 10 years now and I still can’t say I’m an expert. CPU professionals turn me inside out on a daily basis and I’m sure many of you can relate!

Now, both of these are available for PS4 and Xbox players. I myself only play on PS4 so I along with a few others will be running this group. If this takes off and we can gain enough interest, I’d like to find a few Xbox players to manage that side of the group.

We will have a WhatsApp group for both consoles so getting a game should be pretty straightforward.

For those of you who are not interested in joining WhatsApp, I will set up notifications via email and will stay in touch via new articles.

Thanks all for reading! I’m hoping for a good turn out. There will be more information and articles to follow after we spread the word and gain some new managers.

My email is Goldmann009@gmail.com, please email me if you have any questions or message below and I will get back to you.

    Bit of vintage picture sourcing for this one.

    Great idea. Good luck getting people to sign up.

      Cheers Jonty, appreciate it!
      So far have about 10 members so it's going in the right direction.

    I've joined the Pro Club and despite around 5 offsides a game and no goals, we are still unbeaten when i've played!

    But I am switching to RW...

    Good laugh though, everyone who enjoys FIFA should sign up 🙂 My PSN is 'Azzers' - just send me an invite with FFS in the message or something

    I really like the idea!

    I've been playing Fifa for 5 years now (and FUT for the past 2) - I would love to join. I usually end up playing 10-12 matches on Fifa 17 at the moment

    A few questions:

    - Not very clear on what a Pro league is, and how to join
    - For the league/tournament - the idea is to share the FIfa username and go ahead from there (over mail to you?)

    Thanks, and do let me know!

      Hey lakhaneefc,
      The Pro Club is an online mode on fifa, where you create a player and can join a team to play with others with everyone being locked to their position. Similar to The Journy but with other players. The team is called FFScout FC.

      The League/Tournament will be run through our chat groups and games will be scheduled to be completed by a certain date. It will be the players duty to set a day and time to play their match before the deadline.

      There is still much planning to be done, but as of now we are just playing Pro Clubs and Friendly matches until we gain enough members to start the league.

      Shoot me an email and I will direct you to our chat groups if your interested.

    I'd be well up for this if we can get an Xbox team up and running. I usually play CDM.

    Similarly interested if it starts up on Xbox One, have player Pro Clubs for years

    1. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The idea is to do this also. I will help set it up but will likely need a couple guys to manage it as I will have no control as I'm not an Xbox user.

      Looks like Galactic ^above^ is interested and I've also had another email earlier this week interested to play on Xbox. Shoot me an email with your digits and I'll set up a whatsapp group for you guys.

    I would love to but our Timezone is all out of whack so it would be too difficult to be online together I think

    1. Funkyav
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      we have others in other time zones (india/portugal and others), if you are up for it you are welcome to join us, email derek with your psn id and your mobile for the whatsapp group

          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          i think there is 1 or 2 already from oz but admittedly they dont play much but if you joined maybe they would, we do play mainly evenings but in the future as we get more players from around the world, who knows

    1. Funkyav
      • 16 Years

      i think Derek had details of someone else who wanted to set up an xbox one squad, there must be a few xbox 1 players on this site
