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%)

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%).

There were definitely one or two players where I put their name thinking "this guy definitely played for Villareal" and then looked them up afterwards and it was Valencia

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.

maybe the first time I've got 9/9, I was also lazy and went for some obvious ones like RVP, Figo, and Sneijder but got some points back for sub-10% picks Angel di Maria for Man U/Madrid and Maarten Stekelenburg for Ajax/Dutch. These ones were like 11/12% so not into the single digits but I was surprised they were so low: Edwin van der Sar for Man U/Dutch, Memphis Depay for Barca/Dutch, and Alex Song for Arse/Barce.

I had the same seven grid but I also struggled a lot with the Leipzig ones.

Pleased with all three Chelsea answers though: Lassana Diarra (2%), William Gallas (3%), Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (5%)

first time I remember getting 9/9, helped by most of them having one really obvious answer and very few alternatives

my only remotely rare ones were Shevchenko for Chelsea/Milan (14%), Donnarumma for PSG/Milan (17%) and a shameful display for all other players of this game because Ronaldo was only 9% for Barcelona/Milan

Sat there for a while thinking "surely there have been multiple Italians who played for Barcelona... but who?" and eventually gave up. Had no clue on the Watford/Inter connection and only afterwards saw Ashley Young at the top. They weren't the lowest percentage but I was pleased with myself for thinking hard and figuring out which of the three Chilean players whose names I could remember had played for those three clubs in the correct configuration to fit all three in.

so close... but I had the same experience of still not knowing any Brazil/Sociedad players even after seeing the list

my MVP today was picking an obscure Spain/Madrid player, Javier Portillo (0.2%), whose name I always remember because of playing as Real Madrid in PES ages ago

Feels wrong that its only 7% for Spain/Madrid for Raul

Football fans have such short memories that I got great results by using Kaka for Real Madrid and Ronaldo for Milan instead of the other way around, where they were the top picks.

By their own rules he really shouldn't be allowed, since they say the game's timespan begins in 92/93 and Maradona last played for Napoli in 1991 and last scored 10+ league goals in the 89/90 season
