How One-Two works
Two footballers. Name a player who was a club teammate of both . Same club, same season. National teams don't count. Five pairs a day , easy to hard. Round one has loads of answers. Round five might have one. You get 3 to 5 lives for the whole day (more early in the week). A player who didn't play with both costs a life. Stuck? Skip the round. Solve 3 or more to keep your streak. 20 points a round, plus 10 for a deep cut nobody else will think of.
