That Mangala picked is at 50%. I woul dhave thought it would have been less than that given Otamendi is in there among others.

He might have played for them in the Championship and not the Premier League in that timeframe meaning he doesn't qualify.

What I took from today is Fulham and Chelsea love to share a shite player and Fulham love an American. May have managed a lower score on the Chelsea/Fulham but think I picked correctly. Only knew 2 players for Serbia/Juve and America/Juve so was always going to be a brutal score there.

Nicola Amoroso with a 0.01% pick Peresic also coming in with under 1%. Solid round from myself. These other man with consistent, less than 100 are on a different level all together. The Villa/Bayern was tough. Could only think of that brazilian and it seems so did everybody else.

A real mixed bag. I spent a billion hours playing as Dortmund in the 1997-2002 era, but Napoli were shit around this time and I struggled to think of a good goalscorer they had back then (wasn't confident enough with Amoruso, fella couldn't hit a barn door). Also wasted Reina on Napoli/Bayern because it fucked the Villa/Bayern option for me.

Could literally only name you 3 players for the Bayern/Villa/Napoli slots. Was a toss up between the two but think more folk would have went Coutinho than Kim Min Jae. 10+ goals is always fun.

Napoli in my mind is Diego Maradona and then the Sarri era. Absolutely no clue who played for them in the intervening 20+ years.

Not the best for me today. Thought I had better answer in the Galatasaray/Germany section but turned out to be wrong. Had to go with Podolski instead as couldn't think of anyone else. I probably would have struggled with the Besiktas/Germany section anyway.
