@Martin Martin, can I get a rule clarification (or confirmation as I think I know what the answer is)?
I nominated 5 matches this morning from my filter and 4 games in so far and all have won. However, and here's the thing, one of the trades was not matched as the 1st goal came at 4 minutes and I was still 0.1 away from getting matched. The result was a win for the filter but my trade had not been taken and so it was neutral for me.
For the purposes of this competition, does that still count as a win for the filter or do I have to discount it (as I did earlier in the week) because the trade was not actually matched and no money ultimately changed hands?

Hoping I can post both these as tomorrow given how early the Aussie game is.
NET game is 3.15-7.0 max price
AUS game is 3.15-6.6 max priceSaturday I have way more potentials than 5 so going to have to narrow them down for this and use best leagues, most likely to qualify.
Aus game in morning very unlikely to qualify.
2-0 tonight
