Match Day Update: Lineup Prediction League Table now available, and more

As I said to Big-Red above, is fair enough for me if we keep to the usual way of doing it
So, are we resetting the scores for the first proper match?
Last update I think
Excellent!
Can the rating system be altered to give scores between 0 and 10? We have a number of players who don't deserve a 1.
No. Stooopid question as LVG would say.
@Niall, I thought the lineup prediction counts all player you guessed right, no matter if they started or came in as substitutes. I had Mata as a starter, he came in as a substitute, but he is not being counted. Is it supposed to be like that or is that a bug?
No, that's correct.
If you chose Mata for your starting 11 AND as a sub, you would have got 1 point.
I'm also slightly confused how the scoring system works.
What is the maximum score available? Is it 14 or 11? I got 11 points, but all 14 of my starters/sub picks played, so I expected 14 points.
Some people have more than 66 points after 6 matches so it must be possible to get more than 11.

The maximum you can get is 14 points per match
That is by predicting all 11 starters and all three substitutes
If you pick correctly 8 starters and your 3 substitutes also start you only get 8 points
Doesn't make sense that, how did I get 11 points then, I put Mata in as a starter but he came on as a sub, so I should have 10 points, shouldn't I? You only get points for predicting subs if you have already predicted all the starters?
What was your full prediction?
Starting XI
Just got Shaw wrong didn't I, Smalling came on instead? Otherwise, Mata was a sub not a starter and RvP a starter not a sub.
I got a point for Januzaj, but not for Mata or RvP.
David de Gea
Rafael
Marcos Rojo
Jonny Evans
Tyler Blackett
Angel Di Maria
Juan Mata
Daley Blind
Ander Herrera
Radamel Falcao
Wayne Rooney

As Mata didn't start and all the others did - you got 10 points plus you got 1 point for Januzaj coming on = total 11pts
Oh right, I get it now.
Can't edit my line-up prediction, even though there's almost six hours until the game.
@Niall please help
@Big-Red I will send you my predictions and you can sort it out for me if that's ok
Yea, not coming up for me either.
Same here.
Send it to @Muffled Funk first, he can forward it on to me
Done. Thanks for your help Bred
@Big-Red @EdWeatherall @PlayerOne @Shane88
Sorry guys, my mistake, you should be able to predict lineups again now.

I've moved the closing time for predictions to 1 hour before kick-off to give people a chance to get their predictions in. Will close it just before 2pm.
Little bug. It's showing 0 players 0 points and I actually have 11 out of 11 correct.
Yeah, same thing happened to me too.
EDIT: Fixed, thank you.

.Yep the score calculation didn't run when the lineups were announced. Sorry for that.
Top of the league!
(would I have been on, if only I didn't miss one match day)

Is the players rating system based on total score? I don't think it's the most effective option, since the number of played games becomes more important than the actual performance. De Gea will always be on top. Could it be changed to an average rating system with a set number of minimum appearances (for example - total games of the team so far / 2)? I'm just asking if it's possible, no idea how to do it.
Yeah that list is a bit crap right now, it needs a better weighting system. Happy to change it if someone can suggest a good formula for it?
@Niall
Any chance this could be fixed, somewhat irrationally, it annoys me, I sense i won't be alone, to the little things that annoy thread

Great suggestion
Not sure if serious Damien?
Why wouldn't I be? It's a minor suggestion but have to admit it can be slightly irritating to have Kagawa and Hernandez on there when we can't choose them.

Heh yeah i forgot to update that, will sort it out.
Thanks Damo said I could suggest the two replacement players
How would you feel about Zaha and Nani??
Otherwise Ander Herrera and Rafael will do
Good choices!
Davide Petrruci has been released by the club, hasn't he? Maybe you could replace his slot with Pearson, Rothwell is an option already.
I've just removed Petrucci as an option now.
That was telepathic Damien.
