How to play Guess the Footballer
- Read the career
Tiles show the player's senior clubs in order with the years at each. The first club is already shown.
- Guess a player
Pick any well known player from Europe's top leagues, not only the Premier League.
- Club and league tiles
A tile turns green and shows the club if your player also played there. It turns yellow and shows the league if your player was in that league at the same time.
- Use the extra clues
Position appears after 2 wrong guesses, nationality after 4, and one more club after 5.
When the extra clues appear
| After | You see |
|---|---|
| 2 wrong guesses | The player's position |
| 4 wrong guesses | Their nationality |
| 5 wrong guesses | One more club, for your last guess |
The last clue arrives with one guess left, so do not count on it.
Green and yellow tell different stories
A green tile is a solid fact: the mystery player was at that club. A yellow tile is softer. It only says your guess was in the same league at the same time, so the real club is still open. Treat yellow as a country and a date, then think of clubs in that league that bought players like this one.
Guess the Footballer tips
- Count the spells and their years. A long stay at one club points to a fan favourite there.
- Guess players who moved a lot. They can turn several tiles green or yellow at once.
- The club shown after five misses is usually where the player spent longest in the Premier League.
- Check the years against big transfers you remember. A move in a famous summer window narrows the list fast.
