A couple of weeks ago we announced the TSA FIFA Ultimate Team Competition. We had loads of entries, nearly all of which were for PS4, so apologies to the three of you who wanted to enter this on PS3 but this competition will only run on Sony’s latest hardware.
Though we weren’t completely sure of the direction the competition would take, we had a ton of interest, which has been enough to completely fill a large full 32-man competition. However, it’s not too late to put your name in as, in the event that some people drop out, we will want backups to fill the spots.
The format will be the same as the UEFA Champions League. Starting next week, each team will play the other teams in their group twice. There are three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The top two teams from each group will progress to the knock-out stages. In the case of points being tied when all games have been played, the team to progress to the knock-out stages will be decided firstly by goal difference, then by results between the two teams. If the teams still can’t be separated then it will go down to a random draw.
Prizes for this tournament will be as follows:
- Overall winner will win 150,000 FUT coins
- Losing finalist will win 80,000 FUT coins
- Both losing semi-finalists will win 35,000 FUT coins
Everyone that stated interest and has the PS4 version of the game has been randomly drawn into the following groups:

While we’ve tried to mark those whose PSN IDs match with asterisks and put differences in brackets, we don’t have everyone’s PSN ID for sure. Before these games are played, what we need from each of you is your PSN ID so your opponents in your group can invite you to a game. Please provide us with your PSN ID in the comments section below or as a reply to the previously sent out emails no later than 6pm on Sunday 6th April. After that point, we will look to replace unknown entries.
An article will appear on TSA on Wednesday 9th April informing you all of your fixtures for the week and going into greater detail about rules, so don’t play any of your matches until after then!
So if you’re in this tournament, post your PSN ID in the comments section below. You still have more than a week to get some practice in and finalise your Ultimate Team before the matches begin.
Written and organised by Tony Cawley.
