Daily football games: guess the player, grids and quizzes

Football (soccer) has its own set of daily games. The most common asks you to identify one mystery player from clues; others give you a 3x3 grid of clubs and nations to fill with players, a top ten to complete, or a few trivia questions built from real match data.

The games

To guess the player, Who Are Ya? hides one footballer a day behind a blurred photo and clues on nationality, league, team, position, age and shirt number, with eight guesses and versions for single leagues. Football Wordle is closer to the word game: the answer is a player's name. Playsportiz and Sportsdle each run several daily guess-the-athlete games, with football among them.

If you like grids, Futdoku and Dailyfoot ask for players who fit both a row and a column, such as a club and a nationality, and The Ball Grid narrows it to Premier League players who match a season's stat and club. Futbol11 collects daily football grids, bingo cards and word games in one place, and Footle bundles four football puzzles.

For lists and trivia, NameTen asks you to name all ten answers to a football top ten before your lives run out, Scorewit gives six Premier League questions computed from match data, Unicorner rewards the least obvious correct answer, and Timelineup puts famous football moments in date order. For something different, Kickoff has you recreate each goal of a real match with chess-like moves, and Tiki Taka threads a passing move through every teammate.

To begin, Who Are Ya? and Futdoku are quick and show how much player knowledge you have; NameTen and Scorewit suit fans who follow the Premier League closely.
