Euro League Edition: how to play

Identify the European club and season from its squad.

What am I identifying in Euro League Edition?

A top European club side: you name the club and the season from its squad, revealing one player at a time. It draws on the great continental clubs and their famous line-ups, so it rewards knowing the sides that ruled Europe season by season.

How is it scored?

The fewer clues you need before a correct guess, the better your score; every reveal costs you. If a club's spine or a marquee name is instantly recognisable, guess early instead of uncovering the whole eleven.

How do I find the season?

Name the club from its spine, then date it. A marquee signing often marks the exact season a club peaked, the youngest player sets the earliest possible year, and a legendary player's final or first season at the club brackets the range.

What makes a squad recognisable?

The great European dynasties and one-off runs have unmistakable line-ups: the keeper, centre-backs and holding midfielder that anchored a side for years. Learn those cores and you'll place a club from a handful of names.

What does it cover?

Europe's top club squads across seasons: the continental heavyweights and their most memorable teams, spanning multiple eras of the European game.

Any tips for a high score?

Prioritise revealing the defensive spine and any galáctico signings, which carry the most information. The club is often quicker to spot than the precise season, so once you've named the side, focus your reveals on dating it.

How do I get better at Euro League Edition?

Learn the defensive spines that anchored the great European sides for years, and the marquee signings that mark a peak season. Once you can name a club from three or four familiar names, dating the exact campaign becomes the only thing standing between you and a top score, so build a mental map of which stars overlapped in which seasons.

Step by step

  1. Name the European club and season from the revealed players.
  2. Reveal further clues if you're stuck.
