Small req from me, feel free to ignore. Would it be possible to not include the team names on the thumbs for football events. I've got a number of translations for certain teams on my site and it sometimes looks a little silly when the translation name doesn't match the poster.

See https://www.cysports.co.uk/non-live/event/1048355

Just personal preference though, keep up the great work!

I'm thinking of using this design for Scottish Premiership matches, thoughts?

I've used elements from the SPFL website to make it https://spfl.co.uk/

Absolutely amazing stuff, as much as I liked your original template I think this looks a whole lot better and gives every league its own flavour. Hopefully we'll get an easier way to upload so many thumbs in the not too distant future.

This is great, I really need to complete the feature that stores these for the future.

Feel free to upload and I will see if I can run a script or something for next seasons.

You can add my templates I've made for Scotland, Russia, Japan, and now the Eredivisie, to the list.



Dates in the thumbs aren't ideal, but I couldn't get the composition to work any other way. Thoughts?

I would suggest to simply remove date & round number in order to be able to use them in future seasons

The only trouble I have with that is just how bare it looks in those places without the text.

Is there any way you would switch it around to stop that from happening?

A template for Switzerland, but again it does suffer from not being reusable.

Last one for today, tried to do Denmark in a bit of a knock-off Premier League style just because I was interested in how a template like that would work with variables.

Thanks a lot!

Honestly, its the quickest I've made a template so far, I saw the Magenta Sports thumbs and it was so easy to put together from there.

Unfortunately I only had enough time today to upload thumbs for the English Championship and League 1, League 2 should be soon.

Post here if you're unsure about they look.

They are great. The only one I'm not sure is the one related to Polish Ekstraklasa... Maybe using the poster league as a base will do the trick:

also it will be great if you can share the script to upload the thumbs

You're right, I wasn't overly happy about the Polish thumbs either, I will definitely rework them.

And of course I'll share the script, but I need to warn you its even hackier than the stats upload one. I'll do my best to make it understandable and how I've been creating the CSVs.

Here is the link to the script https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yiivzjCC8ejIHYhga0f7tXsFdafPkIF5/view?usp=sharing

The big thing is saving the thumbs from Photoshop with the TSDB event ID. To do this I use a Chrome extension called Linkclump*, this allows me to copy all the URLs from the season page and then you can paste them into a spreadsheet, using Find and Replace I take out the 'https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/' part of the URLs.

I then use the 'Download as CSV?' link on the season page to copy the team names and paste them into the spreadsheet, and then the 'Split text to columns' to be able to delete the date, rounds and scores columns, so that eventually you end up with something that looks like this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R-dELSTUY8O2T1-Wd-BjYCziCSlzPYi4p7KYPZgIJls/edit?usp=sharing, that can then be downloaded and used in the script and in Photoshop to create your variables.

Obviously if you have any questions I'm happy to help.

Today I've added thumbs for Mexico Liga BBVA, Swedish Allsvenskan, and Japanese J-League 1.

Yesterday I added thumbs for Czech and Slovak Fortuna Ligas, and English League 2.
