Amazon Prime Video have added the dashes above team names so viewers can track each side’s remaining substitutes.

Fans first noticed the new feature during Wolves’ 1-0 home win against Burnley in the Premier League on December 5th.

The tracker shows five dashes above each team – with the number of dashes reducing by one every time a substitution is made.

This aids the viewer’s experience to keep informed of all the ongoing in the game, especially if you join the action late on.
