Four ways to play

Transfers, clues, grids and lineups

No multiple choice: you type the name yourself and autocomplete finds the player.

Mode 1

Transfer Path

A player's clubs appear one by one, oldest first. Type his name. Answer while a club is still hidden and your points are doubled.

Transfer Path: four clubs shown, the player's name typed in the answer field
Mode 2

Player Story

Three clues about one player, the hardest first. The earlier you know him, the more you score. Two guesses a player.

Player Story: two clues open, worth 2 points
Mode 3

Grid Rush

A 3×3 board of clubs and countries. Name a player who fits each row and column before the clock runs out. Full lines score extra.

Grid Rush: a 3 by 3 board of clubs and countries with squares filled
Mode 4

Starting XI

The formation and shirt numbers of a team in a big match. Name as many of the eleven as you can before time runs out.

Starting XI: a lineup on the pitch with the named players shown

Each mode has three difficulties. Start on Beginner and open Intermediate and Expert with the points you score. Stuck? Reveal the player's nationality, position or age, or freeze the clock.
