Difficulty and new clues

Easy: around 250 curated, recognizable players, with both answers and search limited to this pool. Medium: the previous Easy pool, including Easy players. Hard: the full pool, including less familiar and historical players. Administrators can move players between tiers with the three-position slider; saves apply to new games.

Consecutive seasons use verified league appearance records, currently through 2026-06-28; profiles are checked as of 2026-10-24. World Cup editions count final-squad selections, not on-pitch appearances. Verified non-participation or no Champions League titles displays 0; incomplete evidence or uncertain identity remains unknown. Revised tiers apply to new games.

Current and historical records

Current clubs, leagues and shirt numbers use 2026/27 squads, player profiles and transfer announcements, with an audit cutoff of 2026-10-24. Conflicting rosters are checked against official club announcements. Players without a reliable current record show unknown; last season’s club is not presented as current. Some rosters include academy players.

This is a dated snapshot, not a live feed. Age is frozen at the snapshot date; historical profiles without a reliable present age remain unknown. World Cup editions count squad selections, including unused players. UCL counts use verified squad-title totals. Missing values are not zero.

Chinese names and identity matching

Chinese names use Chinese Wikipedia article titles, Wikidata labels and reviewed common names, normalized to simplified Chinese. Cross-source joins use stable IDs or a name plus an exact birth date. Conflicting birthdays are not merged automatically. Players without a reliable Chinese label keep their original name.

Games retain the dataset they started with. Start a new game after an update to use the latest records.
