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.

              That reminds me of an excellent interview with a Syrian dissident who successfully escaped to the UK a few years back who had communicated with people through Facebook, He said the regime at the time thought Facebook was an actual book so didn't notice it online.

      Indeed, the points you make may indeed be why it is hard. You should have recruited a someone who is not a mod to be your loud mouth, I mean, mouthpiece.

      I have a few on my scouting list that are still available.

      One who is four letter word for bending over politely and one who is named for a philanderer's dog come to mind.

      Quite right. All other teams will be soundly defeated by the might of Ukraine, who back in the days of PES 1998 were a phenomenal side.. full of attacking flair and speed.

      In addition our name changes have helped, although I've gone for a more subtle alteration.

            Yet again, the libellous allegations of "cheating" within the Senegal camp raise their ugly head.

            I'll say this; before the recruiting period was officially opened, I was personally approached by three different team managers and NONE of them were Christina.

            If there was some kind of "Gentlemen's Agreement" then these managers broke it too.

            Funny how it seems that the one's who shout the hardest appear to be trying to deflect the blame away from themselves.

                  Yes, but your point was '3 other managers cheated, so Senegal isn't so bad.'

                  That logic leaves out all the teams that did what they were supposed to.

                    No. My point is that all we hear is "Senegal cheated".

                    Pretty rich when some of the people peddling this notion are also the aforementioned agreement breakers.

                      I don't have to be naive to believe this: since I didn't know I didn't cheat that makes at least one manager who did what they were supposed to do.

                      sucks that other managers cheated too. But just because Senegal wasn't the only cheating group doesn't make it all right. sure its unfair that Senegal gets the most heat....but that might have something to do with the fact that they had 8 members before all non cheating teams had 3.

                  All 4 of them did have a shot. Ryan was waiting for my say so, and when I made the call, then and ONLY THEN were the offers made.

                  Also, this point falls apart considering 2 of those 4 actually made it, one of whom made it AFTER Demi did.

                      Demi was one of the 4 in consideration. the post you saw about Demi wanted to join Japan was the acceptance of our original offer last night.

              That said, we'd still have the same Iran squad if we did cheat.

                Would be quite an achievement if you win this thing back to back. Though I find it hard to imagine your squad overcoming the Russian brigade. Too much power.

                  I have a lot riding on it and everyne is taking hits, I'm not and they are obviously better off than me as a result... Is it a glitch?

                        I have to admit Spain cheated. We recruited our VC before the official unveiling. I am sorry if you feel we gained an unfair advantage by doing this.

                        We now have 693 players on the books and defining a squad will be hard. Prequalification knockout competition anyone?
