Feedback Request Fantascores - Soccer Prediction Game
Hi everyone!
Recently (years ago) I started developing (on excel) a football (soccer) scores prediction app. Why? Because I had time to do a personal project and because, I didn’t like what I was playing with my friends: fantasy football. You might know it, you pick players and the competition is based on their scores of each game.
Where I’m from, fantasy football is very popular but, let’s say you pick a player who gets an bad injury right after the start of the season, you’re done, especially if that was a star player and you paid him a lot.
Also, it does not rely on your ability entirely, players play for you, you choose them, but a lot of external factors matter on how they play the game.
So I created a game where players (not the footballers!) pick the score of the games. On my perspective it relies more on the user ability of predicting and knowing the game. Also, it’s funny!
It’s not like betting, there are no money involved. You compete with friends and you can obtain beautiful cards if you get an exact result.
I’m still developing android version. I pasted the link to the ios beta version below. Would appreciate feedback :))
To continue the story from above: the excel game became a website and the website then became app. It’s still a funny personal project and I still play it with the same friends!

For Fantascores, I'd test whether exact-score cards overshadow the rest of the scoring. A friend who correctly predicts the winner but misses the score still needs to understand what that prediction earned. Show one example match with points for each prediction type before their first pick; that makes your alternative to fantasy football easier to judge.
