Darts scoring with football stats. Today's question sets the stat (appearances, goals, caps). Every player you name knocks their number off 501. Get to exactly zero in the fewest names. One daily board, or race a bot.

Darts scoring with football stats. Every day there is a league: Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 or another. You start on 501. Name a player and their career appearances in that league come off your total. Get to exactly zero in the fewest names and you've checked out.
The darts rules carry over. A name worth more than 180 is a bust and doesn't count. Going below zero is a bust: the name doesn't count and you throw again. Naming someone who never played in that league scores nothing. The skill is planning the finish. If you're on 47, you need someone with 47, or two names that add to 47, and you need to know who those players are.
Fewer names is a better score. Checking out in five names beats checking out in eight. Points for the daily bank to your account and count on the leaderboard. There is also a bot mode where you race a computer opponent on the same board: unlimited plays, three difficulty levels, with your win-loss record saved.
Every name you throw goes on the chalkboard with its number and your remaining total, the way a pub board would look. Busted names are struck through. When you check out, the board is your share card.
The database covers career league appearances for the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and more, checked against the official season records. A player's number is their career total in that league, not a single season. A one-club veteran can be worth 500-plus, which is a bust, so the big names are often useless.
Football 501 hints and answers: three hints first, then the answers. Every past day is there too.
Also called football darts or 501. If you've seen it played on a podcast or in the pub with a whiteboard, this is that, with the numbers checked for you.
No. Pick from the suggestions as you type. Surnames on their own work for most players.
Keep throwing. There is no limit on names in the daily, only a better score for fewer. If you're stuck on a low number, a young player with a handful of appearances is usually the way out.
