Ukrainian Players in Europe's Top Leagues

In the pool. Ukraine is the 21st best represented country across the 32 we cover, at 1.0 percent of every player in the game.

What they produce. 25.0 percent of Ukrainian players here are goalkeepers, against 10.7 percent across the whole pool. That is a real skew, and it is worth remembering when the position clue narrows before the country one does. More of this in which countries produce the most goalkeepers and forwards.

Age range. From Viktor Tsukanov at 20 (Shakhtar Donetsk) to Oleksandr Karavayev at 34 (Shakhtar Donetsk). The age clue goes yellow within two years, so opening at either end of that span tells you a lot in one move.

Clue tip. The Country clue turns yellow for a different country on the same continent, so a yellow Country against a Ukrainian guess points somewhere else in Europe. Full rules in the clue guide.
