Guys, I don’t understand what’s the matter ... I remember exactly that I chose the final score for the Tottenham - Chelsea match, and when I saw the second goal I went to Superbru and was a little stunned that the site tells me that I didn’t make my choice.

I understand that it is useless to write to their support team because of the three lost points? ^{[Unless, of course, the score of the match does not change]}

Such things happenssometimes. I expierenced it few times in previous seasons. As @Trofo said, after you make prediction just click somewhere outside prediction box to get your prediction confirmed. And don't close page before you will see this symbol under your prediction:

I’m right down the bottom man, utterly embarrassing by myself. Kudos to you guys at the top man, setting a truly relentless pace.

Well, at least there is someone who perform worse than me . I was afraid to look at table after this round and find myself in the bottom. But it's not so bad as I expected, I'm stuck in 30th place .

I believe you will still get at least 1.5 points if the result stays like this. Everybody has I think 10 or 15 default picks, that kicks in when you forget to put in your prediction. 74% of players said Chelsea wins tonight and i am guessing most common choice is one of the results that gets you 3 or 1.5 points in worst case.

When you are making your picks you can click on box that sends you confirmation Email. That way you are double sure that you entered picks. It is not enough if you entered the pick and then closed the browser. For pick to get saved you have to click on another pick or somewhere outside that box and then you will see that pick is updated. Small floppy disk icon pops out under it for a half of second.

This was the last game and, accordingly, it was my last choice, so what you say sounds reasonable, because after the choice I really just closed the tab. But regarding auto-adding glasses, I'm not sure because the glasses have already been updated and as you can see me and a few other guys in the same position. In any case, it doesn't matter anymore, the season is long and a couple of points, by and large, will not play any role, (I am so comforting myself).

It will be updated few hours later and the default pick will mark this match as result then you as well as the other guys will get 1 point from this. Its much better than getting nothing and as a matter of facts, I missed 5 matches this round because I forgot to put in my predictions and I got 2 result points from the default picks

It looks like @Welsh missed this whole round though

Don't worry man,we are still in the initial phase of the competition and I am sure the top of the standings will change very often during the upcoming weeks.I did so well today with 6 points from these three games that I am still at the top and this is something I am amazed at myself because I never thought to be leading now for a month the standings.The dream goes on but on a rational thinking I would be happy even with the last place in the prizes.

Thanks for the advice, but ironically, you are facing the same problem.

Well, from the beginning he was not interested in participating, although I don't think he is upset that he joined despite being dragged into the pool by force.

Happened to me a lot of times actually,,, some picks in the middle of selections are not saved because of server load.

Make a bookmark of your dashboard and force refresh it from your browser after making all your selections, it will show you any picks that did not save for the next 72 hours. This is my most useful part of Superbru checking:)

Damn, which game it was? I'm looking my results and I can't find game without any pick. But yeah, it happens sometimes. Usually I leave my predictions late andsometimes I simply forget it. And when I remember it, earliest game of matchday is already in action

Why complicating things, just click on fixtures from left side menu. You can see fixtures from all your pools with entered predictions in green color and missing predictions with text pick now in red color. Could not be more simple.

I am always putting my predictions few days before the gameweek starts and then tweaking when the day comes if I remember to do it.

I am doing the same, but stopped with tweaking practice, it eventually do not bring any good, just failures, or I remember only that occurances

regarding the round, it was a weird set up for me, had four scores guessed in total, but three exact scores, so got 10 points without slam point, did not had similar situation earlier
could say that this was my "exact scores" round, since I had three here, two in La Liga, and one more in Serie A, with maybe two or three scores guessed right beside these six

I usually always pick the results a couple of days earlier, but not lock picks. it is like the prevention of such mistakes. Then, on the last day/hour recheck and change some picks if I think something is important that can reflect on the final score.
There is also a mobile application, which always help if I'm away.

I only use the mobile app of Superbru as I can check daily for any games.It will remind you but a perfect practice I have found is to check every morning the Flashscore app which shows if there is any game in the Premier League or not.If there is I put my prediction only for that day,I never put the picks days before like I used to do and so far it has brought me good luck.

I did not see my dashboard as complicated, because it gives me an overview of the next 72 hours,,, so maybe your way is better than my way, then good for you. I mean, if I go to Superbru dashboard is the very first screen that shows to me anyway, I thought that was already very simple. Fixture or dashboard you still need to force refresh depending on your settings

I mean,,, how complicated is Superbru actually

He still ended up with only 0.5 points less than me with default picks. I kinda like the idea of the default picks in case you miss some games as it gives you a bit of a buffer. For those missing games though or are likely to forget I'd recommend just putting all your scores in a month or so in advance. You can always change them as long as you don't lock them and having something in is better than nothing.

I've never had a problem with this. Just make sure you see the green padlock icon as that means they're saved. You can of course always lock the scores as well but I don't really recommend doing this unless you want to see others picks or know you're not going to change them.

This is what I do, but I rarely change them unless there's some big team news.

When I am doing first pass at the scores, I just put them in by gut feeling without checking odds or any news, I loose maybe one minute per pool.

Than, I am always betting on the day the games are on and that means I have much more info than I had when I put my initial predictions in. I always change at least third of my picks. If I am in hurry though and I don't play my morning ticket than I forget to check Superbru by default and that is why I am doing that first pass to at least have something in the pool.

For instance I just updated my picks for La Liga and Serie A pool but one game already started and I prefer my gut pick to default picks

this is also my strategy for making predictions
and i leave these picks until the end, even if a player gets injured or something similar, i stick to my gut feeling and always follow this strategy until the end of the season

My guts must be always wrong then, because this is also what I do Maybe EPL football is just different, I remember having much success with it during the Euros.

Still waiting on my first exact pick of the season...

i am curious to see which gut feeling you will have for the next matchday... there are games like chelsea vs. mancity, brentford vs. liverpool or arsenal vs. tottenham
some really very exciting and good matches

I remember last week I thought spurs would pull a stunner against Chelsea like they did against city (they were playing at home), boy did that go wrong  

I also had wolves 0-1 Brentford and Norwich 0-1 watford but I changed them both and it didn't do me so well.

It's the second time this season I changed a pick from for to against Brentford and they ended up winning.

If Chelsea and Liverpool continue their same scores streak then we could see something like Chelsea 1-0 city and Brentford 0-1 Liverpool, but I think that's finally going to come to an end given the opponents involved and I actually think City will steal a victory in this match (and it goes without saying lfc will triumph at Brentford away).

I am thinking Chelsea is in better form and they will win against City again. City is great squad but they are always playing their own passing game and it falls short against good defences sometimes. Chelsea on the other hand has more options and they can win tough games like this on muscles.
