Matchweek 8 prediction review
10 verified final scores are compared with the exact pre-match snapshot stored before each kick-off. The score below does not include reconstructed or missing forecasts.
Each selection was frozen in the official ten-minute pre-kick-off window; it is not recalculated after the result.
Player, card and set-piece prediction panels remain attached to the individual fixture record in Results.

How this automatic review stays honest
The review does not write a new football forecast after a final whistle. It reads the immutable snapshot that was stored before kick-off, then pairs it with the verified result bearing the same official fixture ID.
That is also why some earlier current-season scores do not receive a review: when an authentic original lock is absent, The Magic Sponge keeps the score record visible but will not fabricate a prediction, call it wrong, or use it in this accuracy figure.
