How The Imposter works

Five players and a club. Four of them played for it. One never did. Tap the imposter. Five rounds a day, one tap each. The imposter always played in the same league in the same era, so it's never obvious. Catch 3 or more to keep your streak. Careers from Transfermarkt: the four played 40 or more league games for the club.
