USA, La Galaxy and a loan spell at Cov so nondescript it's the real reason he gave up on football at 24 no matter what the physios may say

I got the three Mexicans plus Landon Donovan.

Decent effort to get 7 but hard to get a low rarity. Got a 6% (LA Galaxy/Mexico) and 12% (Chicago/USA) so I'm pleased enough with that.

Colombian row was the easiest for me mainly because I only had 4 Colombian names come to me when I looked at the grid and I don't think the 4th played for any of those teams.

Not great but managed to eventually fill out the board despite my mind blanking on Inter players at the end.

I got all nine from this one too, with a score of 317. Really like the Italian ones where you can go back to the turn of the millennium in your head. Probably picked the most obvious ones for the Colombians though.

Didnt get any of the Leicester players except Heskey. I though Defoe played for Stoke, but that was Sunderland

I put in Sebastian Coates for Liverpool/Stoke. Genuinely thought he played for the latter. Have I somehow confused that with them being owned by Peter Coates?

Liam Delap 25% (too many FM players today), Mahrez 60%, Vieira 4%
Crouch 69% (nice), Kane 29% (I wanted to put Gary Lineker but he wasn't there), Cudicini 11%
Charlie Adam 24%, None, Borini 10%

Fucked up my first guess at Spurs/Milan as I went for Bentancur as I thought he had a stint in Milan on loan at some point.

[SincereTheRebel]

Im going to start keeping track of this. Get us in a leaderboard. See where your knowledge really ranks. The lower the score, the better. 3 best scores count or something...

I think he played at Sunderland for a while, another red and white striped northern outfit.

They are two Kelechi Iheanachos on this. I picked the wrong one at first.

Can we have a Sunderland one next so I can win?

[thommo]

Disappointed in this one today - put an answer in (correct and I assumed rare) and it's not accepting it.

[Shindig]

Gave up with three guesses left. Tons of Stoke links for Liverpool but I couldn't link them with AC Milan.

My score was 90-odd when I did it but has since dwindled down to 68. Fucking kids have never heard of my 90s Dutch players.

Yeah, I instantly revert to my memories of late 90's, early 00's Champ Manager games and only use more recent answers if I get stuck.

My 53 from yesterday is now 45. Michael Laudrup at 2% is a joke.

[wullie]

Mine's gone down to 70, Sonny Silooy at 0.06% is my best of the whole thing so far now. Didn't realise it was on a constant update
