How to play
- Read the career path. Years on the left, clubs on the right, loans marked. A move from a Dutch academy club to the Premier League at 19 already narrows it down.
- Guess a player. Start typing and pick a name from the list (636 players). Even a wrong guess helps: you see whether the nation, position and birth year match and which clubs he shares with the answer.
- Use the clues. Miss once and the position appears; then the nationality, the birth year, appearances and goals per club, and finally the initials.
- Share your grid. Your result copies as squares only, with your level and streak — no spoilers for friends who haven't played.
How to read a career path like a scout
- The first club and year tell you where he came through and roughly how old he is — most players start their senior career between 17 and 20.
- Loans usually mean a young player at a big club, or a veteran winding down. A string of loans from one club points to its academy.
- Big moves stand out: a jump from Portugal or the Netherlands to England, Spain or Germany often marks a record transfer you'll remember.
- The last line with an open year (“2023–”) is his current club — Saudi Arabia and MLS are common late-career stops.
- Use wrong guesses on purpose. Guessing a player from a club in the path tests the nation, position and age in one go.

About the data
Every career path is built from Wikidata (public domain, CC0): the “member of sports team” statements with their start and end years, appearances and goals. We keep senior club spells only, merge a loan that turned into a permanent move, and drop players whose record has gaps — so you only get paths that start by age 21 and run without missing seasons. Club names are shortened to how fans say them (“Barcelona”, not “Futbol Club Barcelona”). There are no player photos or club crests on this page.
