A squad quiz, not a trivia quiz
Most football quizzes ask what you can recall. This one asks what you can work out. You get no question, only a hidden player and ten attempts, and each guess you spend buys you five facts: how old they are relative to your guess, whether the nationality is in the same confederation, whether the position is next door, whether the club is in the same country or region, and how far off the shirt number is.
Guess a full-back you are sure about and the board tells you the answer is a forward, five years younger, at a club in the same city, wearing a number within four of yours. That is not trivia. That is reading a team sheet backwards, and it is the reason a good first guess is a deliberately average one.
One player per league per day, the same one for everybody, rolling over at midnight UTC. Free, no account, ninety seconds.
