The good of the game here is that you can see big battles and good plays in lower divisions as well.

I don't like to speak for myself, but seeing that legends like Integral or Francisco take the bus to D2 together with me, this makes it interesting.

Though, on the very last MD we had Dragonite being absent (on both weeks), giving nunoalexfcporto a 'Portuguese gift', having the latter secured the rescue; his ticket to next PL. Should nuno had not won, he would have failed to stay in PL, despite the other results.

There is always the rule of 2 absences max allowed in PL (player is out with 3), but here PL had a new form. There were 19 MDs on regular season, plus 9 more on Play-Off/Play-Out. I am not sure if the rule should be exclusion in case of missing 3 MDs in regular season and in 1 miss on play-off/play-out. 3 out of 19 is 0.157 coefficient. Should we consider a new counter in play-off/play-out, then 0.157 X 9 would give 1.41, thus exclusion in case of missing 1 game! That rule would send Dragonite to relegation zone (or simply he could not forget/miss).

I am not mean to suggest that this ansence has happened on purpose, but my point is to protect as much as possible the Fair-Play.
Being said that, let's have in mind that if somebody has failed to predict, we can introduce the Virtual Average rule, similar to FEPG.
If somebody is absent, then his opponent will have to play against Virtual Average, a virtual player. VA's score could be the average of all players of the league that have normally posted predictions (maybe reduced by 1.25) and rounded to closest whole number. So, his is not sure to win, so FP is not violated. Still absent player can play his normal opponent (and lose).

Example
A is absent. B scores 11 pts.
VA's score is 11 points; lets assume that average of league's player's scores is 12.47, minus 1.25 makes it 11.22, rounded to 11.
A loses 0-11.
B draws 11-11.
