Well thanks to the new ability to check my line up history the only one I got wrong was predicting Smalling would start vs Villa on 4th April. Unless I'm blind it doesn't tell you who did start instead though, which might be another interesting feature to see where you went wrong.
You can see that already, just look for the check mark next to the names within the lineup field in the match thread.
I had Rafa as a sub against Chelsea but it was Blackett who got the nod for whatever reason. That spoilt my perfect April.
Ah yea I've found it. It'd be marginally simpler if they were on the same page, but I'm being picky.You can see that already, just look for the check mark next to the names within the lineup field in the match thread.

Looks like I didn't hear about an injury to Smalling that week
Rafa being involved was a very bold call at that late stage in LVG's blatant dislike of him!Whats the reward for playing?
Great stuff.
Wow, you guys have done some good work here. Kudos!
Super. Can't wait to get going again.
The lineup predictions image still has ADM and Rafael on there
So err, did the Lineup Prediction reminder alerts go out to everybody who hadn't submitted one yet? Should have gone out around lunchtime today.
I'd already done mine so didn't get one.

I submitted mine today but can't remember what time, if it was after lunchtime I didn't get an alert
@Niall
Lineup Prediction submissions for this match close 2 hours from now.
It's a 12:45 Kick-off so should close in 15 minutes.

It's probably a static number based on when the notification is sent, rather than one that updates based on the current time.
I saw it at 13 hours yesterday.
Yeah that text is wrong. Submissions correctly closed at 10:45.
I'll fix the text for the next game.
Ah okay, fair enough!
@Niall is this a bug?
You successfully predicted 12 players in the starting XI and substitutes, earning you 13 points in the Lineup Prediction League.You received 1 bonus point as you predicted all substitutions when less than 3 subs were used.

Yes, I'll be fixing that. It should correct itself shortly.
Fixed now @Big-Red?
Damn you Bred I had 12 points
Yep, nice one.
@Niall I am not sure whether this has been discussed before or not but is there a possibility for a live matchday thread. The type you get on the paper websites, BBC etc so instead of refreshing the thread it would update automatically?
We've got a live updates section that updates automatically, or are you on about the discussion part of the thread itself?
I have never seen the live updates section separately but have seen those events in the thread before. That's pretty much what I had in mind for the discussion thread but am thinking now it could get overrun by the many posts a second and that live updates section might be the best thing for it. Maybe a test run of a live thread?
Yeah, an actual live thread was mooted a while back but I think was scrapped for that exact reason, it'd move way too fast.
Edit: what the hell happened to your tagline?
Can I change my score prediction?
It's probably staring at me but I couldn't see it

Unfortunately not. I haven't had time to add that feature.
@Niall re: matchday thread, have you considered trying out one of those embedded chat things? That'd probably be more what the users want, it'd definitely put less of a strain on the server, etc. Could be worth thinking about at least!
The countdown in Lineup predictions lies to me. It says things like the predictions close in 6 hours, when actually it's 6 hours to kickoff and the predictions game is closing in 4 hours. When it does get within 3 hours of kickoff, it switches to minutes to closing, and does tell the truth.
Is that an ongoing bug or did it just happen today for some reason?

That was a bug I fixed around 2 hours before the deadline closed today.
Lineup submissions close 2 hours before kick-off. Fact!

Perfect
What's wrong exactly? Screenshot?

What about tapping on the rating bar rather than dragging the green circle with your finger? Too late now but wondering if you've tried that.
Dragging should work on touch devices, but will need to double check.
The sliders wouldn't show if JS was off.
Why is the old matchday forum still in the football sub-forum? It looks a bit messy to me. Might it not be better in the misc sub-forum?
Sort it out!
