How The Heatmap works

One heatmap. Every touch a player made in one tournament or season, drawn on the pitch. Attacking left to right. Name the player. You get 6 guesses . Each miss unlocks a clue: position, then apps and goals, then nationality, then team, then shirt number (recent competitions). Every guess is scored against the answer: Nat (same nationality), Team (same club or country in that competition), Pos (same line: defence, midfield, attack), Comp (played in that competition). Green is a match. New heatmap at midnight UK. One a day, same for everyone. Win on consecutive days to build your streak. Event data: StatsBomb open data.
