[Niall]

A few updates to the Match Day section have been released:

** UPDATED **

Opt-out of Voting

For Man of the Match and Player Ratings you can now choose to postpone or forfeit your vote for that match.

You can opt-out for 6 hours and the voting form will return after that. So for example, if you are waiting to see highlights of the match in the evening, this is a good option to choose.

If you choose not to vote at all, you won't see the voting form again for this match.

When you opt-out, the voting forms will be replaced by the Man of the Match and Player Rating results.

** Original Updates **

I'm on page 4 out of 15, good enough.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

I absolutely love the new matchday center, you guys have really done a top notch job. Hat off in your general direction!

 

[Big-Red]

Feck, @Niall is 5th no chance of the table being reset for competitive games

 

[Mrs Smoker]

PL, FA Cup, League Cup, all together, or separated?

 

[Damien]

Great work Niall.

On the first page of the lineup predictions. Nice score @Feeky Magee

 

[RustyS]

I'm thinking a sortable "Points Per Game" column would be nice. It doesn't make a lot of sense to compare someone with 15 predictions and someone with 10

On the other hand, I guess it encourages people to make predictions in every game the way it is now.

Great work either way.

 

[Berbaclass]

26 Points! Pleased with myself

 

[Feeky Magee]

Great work Niall.

I went for 10 midfielders. Bold move but if it paid off I was gonna be way ahead at the top.

 

[Niall]

PL, FA Cup, League Cup, all together, or separated?

All together. But having mini-leagues for each competition may be good too but it can wait until later in the season.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

All together. But having mini-leagues for each competition may be good too but it can wait until later in the season.

Probably best that way. And mini leagues would make sense if we progress a bit.

Per any chance planning to track those who guess the correct score as well?


In any case, looking great!

Yeah a score prediction league will probably be added at some point.

 

[Remix]

Will the table restart for the new season?

 

[Big-Red]

Its how Big-Red would have done things

[Turnip]

Joint 11th with 25 points. Not bad. I'm like a fringe player, just making it into the team. Probably all downhill from here.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Joint 8th. Chuffed with that.

 

[Niall]

Will the table restart for the new season?

I wasn't planning on it no.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

I hope you change your mind, friendlies are friendlies, many don't bother yet.

 

[Big-Red]

I wasn't planning on it no.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Joint 3rd! Changing my name to Paul the Octopus if Vidal signs!

 

[Niall]

This is how break away prediction leagues start...

 

[Amethyst]

I thought you were resetting the lineup league table so I didn't bother making any predictions.

 

[Big-Red]

Yours is shamelessly stolen, call me an innovator

 

[Niall]

I thought you were resetting the lineup league table so I didn't bother making any predictions.

Ha, you fell for it! Loser!

 

[RedSky]

Great work Niall.

I'd be right up there had I done a prediction for the first game. Bah. Oh well.

I assume there will be a table for score prediction as well?

Not sure how I missed that...

 

[Amethyst]

Ah well...

 

[Randall Flagg]

Im also on 31 points just underneath Niall. but he decided to cut the screen shot after his name

[Amadaeus]

Wierd I am in first. I am usually completely off when it comes to predicting formation.

I am going to panic under the pressure and drop to last.

 

[RonaldoVII]

I wasn't planning on it no.

Damn didn't know it was counting for friendlies. Usually start with the Shield / League

 

[Big-Red]

There might be a market for the Big-Red Lineups game after all

@Niall might be a standalone site

 

[kps88]

Yeah if I had known this was happening I would have started earlier. Can't be bothered now against those who have had a head start.

That's loser talk. Winners take on the challenge even against all odds.

What would Fergie think of such an attitude, or LVG?!

Plenty of games to catch up!

 

[Pexbo]

Ah crap, I thought the preseasons was just some sort of beta trail before the competitive games start so didn't bother doing them.


It seems a bit daft adding them to the seasons tally when it's completely random with 9 substitutions happening each game and the youngsters getting starts.

Motivation to join in is completely killed.

I can see people's point on this. I wasn't clear up front about it and the rules don't quite work for preseason anyway.

Easy enough to exclude preseason games from the league table.

Shall I put it to a vote?

How come most people understood, just a bit of sour grapes, if others managed to predict well enough why can't everyone else who didn't bother

Well tbh, its not just that, the lineups have been out for each game well in advance too for those who left it late enough.
