Hello Managers! 👋

Two new features, a brand new season-long Predictions League, and an optional Two-Factor Authentication layer for your account. Here's the rundown:

🎯 Predictions League

The classic per-match prediction widget now has a season-long contest layered on top of it. Every day the system picks 5 featured matches to play for, and you score points all season long. Top 3 at the end of the season take home trophies and item prizes.

• 5 featured matches per day: 3 highest-ELO fixtures + 2 random picks. Both teams must be real-manager controlled.
• Scope: league, league playoffs, national cup, supercup, Champions League and Conference League. Friendlies and user tournaments don't count.
• Pick a side (home / draw / away) before kickoff, that's it. Once the match starts, the pick is locked.
• Points:
  • Correct pick on the favorite → 3 points
  • Correct pick on a slight underdog → 4 points
  • Correct pick on a heavy underdog (100+ ELO gap) → 5 points
  • Correct draw pick → 4 points (draws are skill)
  • Wrong pick → 0
• Leaderboard updates as matches finish. Tiebreakers favor more correct picks, then a higher hit-rate, then earlier engagement in the season.
• Your old per-match predictions on non-featured matches still work exactly as before, they just don't count toward the leaderboard.
• Leaderboard will be reset tonight since today's matches will be considered a test run.

Season 24 prize pool:

• 🥇 1st: 🏆 League Predictor Champion trophy + 3× Training Boost + 1× Youth Spawn Discount
• 🥈 2nd: 🏆 League Predictor Silver trophy + 2× Training Boost
• 🥉 3rd: 🏆 League Predictor Bronze trophy + 1× Training Boost

Find it on the new Predictions entry in the top menu. Full rules are in the in-game documentation.

🛡️ Two-Factor Authentication

Optional extra layer of login security. Turn it on from Settings → Account.

• After your password (or Google sign-in), we'll email you a 6-digit code to confirm it's really you. Code lasts 10 minutes.
• Tick "Remember this device" to skip the code on that browser for 30 days. Manage and revoke trusted devices from the same settings page.
• Each code email shows the IP, country and device the login came from, so you can spot anything that isn't you.
• Changing your password automatically revokes every trusted device. Disabling 2FA wipes everything clean.
• Fully optional, accounts that don't enable it work exactly as today.

Worth the 30 seconds if you've built up a club worth protecting.

As always, report bugs in the forum or on Discord.

Cheers! 💙⚽

Good move and for security protection 😃 

Very good. Thank you. It's always good to stay safe.

Another amazing update.

Good News! ;-)

Very good initiative!!
But my personal opinion would be to award item prizes for the first 10 players, as good as it sounds it will quickly become unattractive, if only 3 players win! That is, there should be a fight and a great interest in giving predictions, if you see that in the middle of the season you only have a chance for the first 3 places, don't give up!

already a top 10 , before the announcement of this new feature 

i suppose you can't add a lotery for the 5 match selected ? (bidding on the result?) : its a proposal ^^

Good update, about security is very important!

Lovely idea and great update!

I'm very pleased with the update! You did a great job!

@Nick 👌👏

It would be great to have both authentication providers active at the same time — Google Sign-In and email/password. Even if you usually log in with Google, having email/password available would allow iOS/Chrome password autofill to kick in, which makes the login much faster. Supporting both providers simultaneously would be a nice improvement.

the prediction league began yesterday, but the standings no.

Nicmo, for Prediction

This day you add a match at 7:00 am (very early for West Europ ppl) ...and i suppose European match cant be preddict by Asian people

Maybe you can choose prediction by région ? and only on match on PM ?

Great idea!

From my point of view, right now almost 800 people have participated and there are only 5 prizes. If you forget a day, I don't think you have any chance of receiving anything. I think it would make more sense to have many more prizes, even if they're almost symbolic. Competing for a top 50 spot is very difficult, but if you could get some kind of reward, it would be more appealing.

Another point would be to try to schedule the matches at times that everyone can access and that don't interfere with their sleep schedule.
Best regards
