That Barca-Rayo Valkecano combo was impossible. Only one option with more than ten games for Vallecano.

167. I won't bother spoilering this as I'm probably the last one to do this, but was surprised that what thought was the pick of the century, Antoine Sibierski clocked in at 25%. I've played so much FM with Rennes back in the day, I still remembered most of their best XI from 2007. Got all nine.

I was happy with Richards too, thinking he’d be a really low answer with Tillman slightly higher as a lot of Rangers/Scotland fans may have picked him. Now I’m slightly annoyed as if Richards is 20% then Tillman has to be a lot lower

I left the tab open on my phone's browser while I went out to run some errands and just tried to go back to it and it fucking reloaded.

I'd got something about force and coil and spring but it didn't seem to have much in the way of big mathsy or physics-y words so I was pretty stumped. Oh, and something about an application in biology.

Stiffness. I was going through all the physics-y concepts like resistance, torque, momentum etc without much coming up, but got there in the end. 'newton' was the breakthrough guess.

Ah, I think I'd have been guessing all day for that one.

I actually got newton too but was still nowhere near.

I reckon I'm pretty well versed in Barcelona and Milan history since the mid-nineties. The Milan column was banging but Kessié and Song scoring so highly suggests there weren't many other options in the Barcelona row; had a good half hour there and couldn't muster up any others apart from Touré and Eto'o.
