Career Path

A player's clubs, one at a time, in order. Guess early for more points. Wrong guesses reveal the next club, then nationality, then position. No list to pick from, you type the name.

How to play Career Path

A footballer's clubs, one at a time, in career order. You see the first club and a text box. Type a guess. If it is wrong, the next club is revealed. Once the clubs run out, you get the nationality, then the position. Get it right at any point and the round is over. There is no answer list to pick from, so you have to know the name.

Most players are identifiable by the third club. The good ones are identifiable by the first. A youth club nobody has heard of followed by a big move is a strong tell. Two loans in a row before a permanent transfer is another.

Scoring

A first-club solve scores 30 points. Every extra club revealed costs 4, and every wrong guess costs 2, down to a floor of 5 points for a solve. Points bank to your account. Play as many rounds as you like, there is no daily limit.

The player pool

Players come from our curated career database: internationals and top-flight regulars from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the other major European leagues, from the 1990s to now. Careers with a single club are left out, so there is always a path to follow.

Other names for it

Also called a transfer trail or guess the player from his clubs. It's the round every football quiz podcast does, with no answer list to lean on.

Career Path FAQ

Do loans count as clubs?

Can I skip a player?

Yes. Next player starts a new round. The skipped one scores nothing.

Is Career Path free?

Yes. Free in the browser, no app, unlimited rounds.
