https://www.immaculatefooty.com is the football version of those grid games that have a thread in SAS. You get 9 tries to fill a 3x3 grid of footballers using players from the top 5 European leagues from 1992-present and women's football from 2016.

Think it started last week and so this is the thread where I (and you if you like) can show a complete lack of footy knowledge. I've found out I don't know any players post 2010 so that's fun

I was so sure Robbie Keane turned out for Newcastle and I'd already used big Shay for the man city square. Heartbreaking. Thank you Leeds legend Darren O'Dea bumping up the rarity score

It's moments like this that I realize I don't like football, I like Atletico Mineiro.

There's one player I can name off the top of my head who played for leverkusen. Paulinho.

Should have gotten bamba dieng for Senegal/marseille since he nearly signed for leeds. Pleased with my 2% answer Sinama-Pongolle for the top right

I got 6/9 because I was too busy trying to guess Senegalese players that I forgot to fill in some random French guy for Lyon but I was pleased with 3% for David N'Gog, Liverpool/France and 1% each for William Gallas in Marseille/Arsenal and Djibril Cisse for Marseille/France.

Also surprised by the rarity of Kolo Toure for Arsenal/Liverpool (11%) and El-Hadji Diouf for Liverpool/Senegal (10%)

Recency bias would be my guess, I answered the first with used care salesman too but picked a much more recent and obvious player for the second.

You can get an absurd rarity score by using players in the women’s game. Even the most famous ones are super rare for example eugenie le sommer at like 0.4% for Lyon/France

My crippling lack of knowledge about Spanish and Italian football has come back to bite me. Can't believe I forgot Alisson signed for Liverpool from Roma.

Pleased to have avoided some of the really obvious ones though, by going for people who were well known but not the first name to come to mind. My sub-10 scores were Samuel Eto'o for Barcelona/goals (8%), Maxwell for Barcelona/Brazil (3%) and Erik Lamela for Roma/Argentina (6%).

I stared at the bottom right one for like 20 minutes before clicking the "give up" button

My best rarity score today was Lamela for 10+ goals at Roma for 0.4%, I figured nobody that watched him in England would ever guess that lol

You get +100 for each missed answer. Do you go for the sure bets to fill the grid or try to be clever and get unbelievably owned for your arrogance

Only 6/9 today and they were all 20% or higher, the only player I could remember who played for Wolfsburg was Edin Dzeko and by the time I got to Southampton/Belgium I had already used both Lavia and Alderweireld so I was stumped.
