Grammar – Passive Voice of Future Continuous Tense

grammargrammaticality

I am learning English Grammar from a very popular book in Indian market (you can get it from here) and it very distinctively mentions that Passive Voice of Future Continuous tense is not possible.

However, when I searched online there are posts/blogs (for example this and this) which mentions rules for Passive Voice of Future Continuous tense.

Could someone please clarify, I am confused as both are very reliable sources?

It's possible, but don't do it.

I will be playing tennis. (active)

Tennis will be being played. (passive)

I can think of no situations where one would need use this verb form. It is such a mouthful that you should avoid it.
