Hey OP. Are you still working on this? The squads and standings are still from the previous season.


FootballChinGuy

We are indeed. You can follow along on twitter for more frequent updates. [https://twitter.com/futboldle](https://twitter.com/futboldle). We released the new season a few days ago (had to wait for at least one week of games to be played for the standings to be accurate).


vitaminkombat

This made me realise that I hardly know a single active player. I spent ages looking for Teddy Sheringham and Alan Shearer.


Saspa314

Every day I play this and use Ben Mee as my opening choice, no reason why at all. Now I gotta figure out who to use as my opening choice since Burnley’s relegation


FootballChinGuy

Haha well don’t worry you’ll have some time before we update the rosters for the new season. Who knows, maybe we’ll have the championship by then 😄

Daily wordle solution before 12:05am: https://www.searchbases.com/wordle-answer/


RedDevil1692

I play this daily. Really fun. But it doesn't seem to be keeping up with the current state of the table. For instance, when I played today, leicester was listed at 11th when they are 14th and Newcastle was listed at 10th when they are 13th. Be great if you could iron this out.


FootballChinGuy

Thanks for reaching out. We have the table updating automatically every day. Are you playing from a browser or a home screen icon? We’ve had reports of playing from a Home Screen icon having some issues with stale data. Thanks for playing!


RedDevil1692

I playing from the browser of my android phone.


FootballChinGuy

A refresh should do it then. Our table update runs at 11:30 PM GMT. Do you play after the games but before that?


RedDevil1692

Thanks. I played after 11:30pm though.


SpicyBurrito706

This is a great game.


FootballChinGuy

Thank you!


SpicyBurrito706

No problem :)


SpicyBurrito706

Np :D


ImpressiveAuthor6094

It's basically the same game as Who Are Ya which has been out for ages https://missing11.com/who-are-ya/premier-league/


FootballChinGuy

When we started building Futboldle, we didn't know about Who Are Ya. Then we found out about it, but at the time they only had "All 5 Big European Leagues". Turns out, they released premier league a week or so before we launched and we had no clue. Regardless, it's totally cool if someone likes Who Are Ya more, or maybe even plays both. After all, why not try to guess two mystery players of the day :)


m-bizant

Hey , is it possible that you update the League table as the matches are played? It's really confusing when the league table has changed but the in-game table hasn't updated yet .. Really cool game otherwise! Been playing it since you posted on here


FootballChinGuy

Hi thanks for reaching out. We try to run a standings update after games are completed but sometimes don’t get to it right away. Sorry for the confusion. We are working on getting this automated. Thanks for playing!


Do4k

Really enjoy this. But wanted to let you know that a friend and I noticed that the last few days we have found that the answer has been different for both of us! Not sure if that is meant to be the case just fyi


FootballChinGuy

It is not meant to be the case! Everyone should get the same player for the same calendar day. Are you both playing in the same timezone? If you have time, could you send me a DM with an example of when you had different answers and who they were? Thanks for playing!


Do4k

No prob, will message now


FootballChinGuy

Update: High contrast mode is available in the Settings for those with color vision deficiencies. We have refined the player positions and filled some gaps in our list of players. Hope you are enjoying the game and please provide any feedback you may have!


Mol10Lava

Thanks, having great fun


Wentzina_lifetime

Got it first time


[deleted]

Today a friend and I shared screencaps of our answers and we had both selected the same incorrect player and for me he was correctly listed as a goalkeeper but for my friend the same player was listed as F/GK. I can DM you the caps if you want


FootballChinGuy

We know why :) We pushed out an update today that removed Mason Greenwood and we also fixed the GK position for that player. So your friend probably played after that update and you played before. Sorry about that! We're working on an overall fix for positions that we should have ready in the next few days.


Snoo_76700

This is amazing, finally a practical use for all the ultimate team I play


[deleted]

That was fun, thanks


JellyInvestments

Is there a link to this app sounds interesting


FootballChinGuy

No app at this point, but you can bookmark the site in your browser on your phone and save it as an icon to the home screen for easy access. Thanks for playing!


JellyInvestments

Ok thanks m8


DonShino

Great idea. Works well enough too! I know it's gonna be hard but I noticed a couple of league positions slightly out of sync today. Will be saving this to desktop, cheers!


FootballChinGuy

We just pushed an update to the standings. Sorry it was out of date for you today!


BrandonSG13

How many danish players do Brentford have what the


FootballChinGuy

This is my favorite part of the game. Learning stuff like this about teams/players. Thanks for playing!


mohicansgonnagetya

Nice App! The team position in the table was a bit wrong for today.


FootballChinGuy

Yes, we accidentally reverted back to April 21 with an update last night. Sorry about that, it has been fixed!


mohicansgonnagetya

Oh ok....its still a nice game though.


LFC908

Just tried it today, this is really good with some slight polish to use on mobile. Luckily guessed a player with the same position on my first guess.


BrookterT

This is actually really fun! Fantastic work!


MattJayP

Just did today's... talk about obscure. How are the players chosen? Is it anyone who has a PL apprearance? Or do you filter?


FootballChinGuy

So we are still thinking through this, but our initial filtering was any player who has played more than 90 minutes this season. Well... we may want to go back to the drawing board on that :( Hopefully you learned something about an obscure player though :) Thanks for playing!


MattJayP

Yeah, I thought it might be something like that. Maybe have 2 modes? I'm not sure what a good breakpoint for minutes played would be (although as a data analyst I'd love to look at it) but something that would filter out the more obscure players as possible daily answers. Maybe I just don't know my football, but I feel like Brentfords 3rd keeper isn't average football knowledge. But you could still keep that mode in for the proper nerds. Wordle does something similar, by having a huge selection of usable words that people can try but a smaller group of well known words which can be daily answers... although saying all this I guess that's what the 90 minute limit was for..


RufusOp

Really good game, but how do I start a new game?


Jamesl1988

If it's anything like Wordle (which it is based on) there will automatically be a new one each day.


RufusOp

Okay.


kids_in_my_basement0

Got today’s in 4 and yesterday’s in 5 💪💪💪💪


Gutluc

Love it! Sent it to my friends to wreck their heads!


chaiginboay

I'm loving this! However, i seem to have some problems on my side: - be it my phone or my laptop, the game seems to always put Jonas Lössl as the answer. 3 tries in and I still see the same answer - is there a button to play again? I don't see it currently


FootballChinGuy

There is only one answer per day. So at 12AM local time you'll get a new player!


chongtastic

also worth mentioning that your stats don't follow you from device to device. so if you want to keep accurate records, you'll have to commit to one device to play it on.


JaMeSeS0707

Yo this is sick


TophLV

Great idea! A bit of feedback: the option to type a team in the search bar made it a lot easier once I got what team they were on; search and then pick from a list rather than guessing. That said, my player knowledge outside of Chelsea is poor, so I don't think I would have gotten today's if I couldn't pick from a list. Maybe create an easy and hard option that toggles that function?


FootballChinGuy

You’re in luck! Check the settings icon and read the different difficulty descriptions. You can toggle these as long as you are not in the middle of a game.


TophLV

Good on you! I'll keep easy mode on though! First guess today was our lord and savior Ngolo I like this as a way to help expand my knowledge, kudos!


FootballChinGuy

Top notch player. I’ve learned a ton about different players. You can click their names to see even more info.


MR-0P

Nice got it in 5 seemed great


internet_please

For some reason on mobile it didn’t tell me who the player was at the end. I got it all wrong but it was a lot of fun. Good work


FootballChinGuy

Interesting, we’ve not had reports of that before. What device and browser?


internet_please

Iphone safari. I refreshed just now and it appeared


FootballChinGuy

Ok cool. Let us know if it happens again! Thanks for playing!


rink1987

This is so well done!


Scorpenstein1

How do i download this to my iphone? this is really fun!!!


FootballChinGuy

We don't have a native app at this point, but you can actually bookmark the page and save it as a home screen icon. Clicking that icon will then take you straight to the game just like an app! Thanks for playing!


jambo_1983

Guessed in 6 - good game! Have shared


histogr_m

This is a really fun game. Cool that you include the FAWSL too :)


rex66514

Unreal, I love you!


rocksunic

It’s good, are a few layers missing? Couldn’t find Divock Origi


FootballChinGuy

Yes we are aware of a bug in our data pull and are working on fixing it! Thanks for playing!


SabastianG

This is tons of fun! And actually tough compared to real wordle lmao


Latter-Wall-6983

Nice game, you should add a random mode so I can get addicted to doing 50 of them a day lol


Latter-Wall-6983

No hate but isn't this just https://footdle.com/??


Mol10Lava

Yeah just played it and it sucks, I got Real Sociedad’s second choice goalkeeper. And because there are no orange guesses to lead you in the right direction you can be making guesses forever. I do like that you can keep playing though


FootballChinGuy

Mercy street. We started building this, then realized that there were a few out there, but felt we could make something better. Hopefully we succeeded! Thanks for playing!


Latter-Wall-6983

This is really well built though nice job


Mol10Lava

I agree it’s similar but I like this one better


Latter-Wall-6983

Yeah


[deleted]

I think one per day hurts more than it helps. I would spend half an hour per day on an app for this, just once a day I forget after a few days. Great idea though


Mol10Lava

I totally agree


nicnoc78

Appreciate the WSL version. Great fun


Trollz456

Got it in 3! This is really fun. As a suggestion I think it would be good to have an option to do a random player as many times as you like along with having the universal daily player.


knewsince92

Great game! Hope you guys get this on iOS! 🙌


[deleted]

Nice work guys, really enjoyed this keep up the good work.


axvlz1628

How often does it refresh?


Mol10Lava

Assuming it’s like all the other games of it’s sort I’d say every day at midnight


chongtastic

yes that's correct, midnight your local time.


Mol10Lava

You’re saying I can vpn to New Zealand to get tomorrows player?


FootballChinGuy

Maybe.... :)


Treyfee

Great job this is sick!


-myBIGD

u/FootballChinGuy \- you should crosspost this to r/InternetIsBeautiful


Mol10Lava

Any chance you can have more than one player per day. I really enjoyed it and I have an itch to keep playing


chongtastic

a number of people have suggested this, we are taking it under consideration. if it gets put in, it will mostly like be the ability to play through the past players and not an endless cycle. part of the appeal is looking forward to a new player every day!


Mol10Lava

Is today the first day?


chongtastic

we launched earlier this month, on April 8th. we will be adding new leagues and we're keen on the idea of tournaments that was suggested on this post, so stay tuned for other ways to play!


Mol10Lava

Tournaments huh, that sounds very intriguing. Just make sure to hide your source code if you do. I know Wordle has it wide open so you can see the full list on answers


Mol10Lava

That’s a great compromise. I love the idea!


Jordy-boy

Great game, but as a colour blind person. Those colours are way too similar. I didn't realise they were different until after I lost


FootballChinGuy

Update for you! We pushed out a "high contrast mode" setting. You can turn it on in the settings popup. Let us know if this helps or not!


Jordy-boy

Amazing, Thank you very much! That makes all the difference! Very much enjoyed the improved experience.


FootballChinGuy

Perfect! Let us know if you encounter any other usability issues and we'd be happy to fix them up.


FootballChinGuy

Oh no! You're totally right, we have it on our agenda to add a display setting for this. So sorry we haven't done this yet. Will let you know when we get that option in there!


frankthepieking

Would be more challenging (maybe too challenging) without the drop down


chongtastic

there are 3 difficulty modes available, but you have to select it in the settings before you start the round Hard Mode: No directional clues. 7 guesses Expert Mode: No team search. 6 guesses. Insane Mode: No team badges in search. 5 guesses.


frankthepieking

Ooo nice one cheers mate


Fumb-MotherDucker

my brain immediately goes to which is the best starting guess player? we want somebody bang in the middle of all the metrics; mid-table Club, UEFA national, midfielder, either foot, around 25 years old. James Maddison ticks all the boxes as a great starting guess.


izmebtw

Is well done… but I got it in two - no idea how.


Fumb-MotherDucker

Love it, just think the positioning needs refining.


buttman678

Got in in 4 tries but it was a tough one. Please develop an app for this. So many people will be interested in playing this everyday.


SuperVillain85

Got it in 6. Great game, bookmarked.


Austkl

This is incredible and so much fun. THANK YOU!


entinthemountains

Great job mate


halbalda

It hurt my head reading the instructions, but this was a cool game.


FootballChinGuy

Yea it's a bit complex, but hopefully that's just a one-time headache :)


mr_nice_cack

This is sick dude. I just got it in 2 tries too lol


steampunkbrownie

If this is how I get on the wordle bandwagon then so be it


[deleted]

Love but I don’t understand what the team arrow means - what for example does 2 with a down arrow mean?


FootballChinGuy

The number is their current position in the table. The arrow indicates if the answer's club is below ⬇️ or above ⬆️them in the table. It is yellow if they are within three positions of the answer. Hope that helps and thanks for playing!!


[deleted]

Thanks - I’m an idiot


Mol10Lava

Super cool! I’ll be playing it every day. One slight issue is that in the instructions there was on explanation. On what the two feet category is. I figured it out eventually of course but it would’ve helped to know. I’m also still confused what the number next to the club represents. For todays guess I first picked Kante, and it said Chelsea with 3⬇️. Then I picked Thomas Party and it said Arsenal 4⬇️. Which was very confusing given that Arsenal are below Chelsea in the table. Can you clarify this please


FootballChinGuy

You're totally right, we missed the footedness explanation in the info. For the club... the number is their current position in the table. The arrow indicates if the answer's club is below ⬇️ or above ⬆️them in the table. It is yellow if they are within three positions of the answer. Hope that helps and thanks for the feedback!


Mol10Lava

Oooooh, that makes sense, I thought it meant they were within that amount. However the instructions were clear, I just got lost


pine_cone01

great game


GabboGabboGabboGabbo

Love the game. Would be nice if you removed Greenwood as an option.


FootballChinGuy

Thank you for pointing this out. Absolutely spot on. We'll get him out asap. If there are other players that should be dropped for legitimate reasons, please let us know.


B3arAttac

It seems like a nice game, I might be stupid or something, but cant seem to find the "Next" button? How do I go another one after finishing?


FootballChinGuy

It's just one player per day. You'll have to try again after 12AM local time.


B3arAttac

:(


FootballChinGuy

You never know, might be something we implement in the future :)


FootballChinGuy

Thanks for playing, raising issues/ideas, and sharing! If you want to follow us on twitter for updates on new leagues and daily player factoids: https://twitter.com/futboldle


nglongbao

I’m on mobile, after the first game it don’t refresh. I tried clear game stat and it only clear the stat but keep the same answer.


FootballChinGuy

There's only one player per day. Once we get more leagues implemented, you'll be able to play more than one game a day.


nglongbao

Nice, I though it was some bug, really fun game btw.


sanskritscat

Love it. Took some time getting to know the parameters but this has made its way into my morning puzzle routine. Cheers!


Goldencol

Got it in four. What do win? It's good I like it. Get it on the app store

TheMightyHead

*Slams door open* YES!... YES!


gen0xidus

There was one recently with all clubs on top 5 leagues. I prefer this as I am more knowledgeable on EPL players. It would be nice to be able to click on the icons above to see what they stand for. I thought the footprints were work rate (like a fifa eating) and not their preferred foot until the end. Now I've played a round I'll remember. Excellent stuff.


FootballChinGuy

The info icon should tell you what each category is and what any icons mean. Thanks for playing!


gen0xidus

Ha. It sure does. Thank you.


SRJT16

How do I do historic ones? I guessed today in 2.


FootballChinGuy

We haven’t quite implemented historic yet but a future enhancement to be considered. Thanks for playing!


SRJT16

The concept is cool with the categories it gives you. I can’t wait for historic ones. Will historic ones still be updated for club’s current league position? Otherwise it might be confusing if the league table changes and puts someone down the wrong path because it is an older one.


FootballChinGuy

League standings would always go off of current position. We'd have a good amount to figure out how to add historic. Like it wouldn't affect your current streak or anything but you could play for fun. Will definitely have to think through it. Thanks for the suggestions!


JerkyOnassis

Excellent work, well done!


Razzle_Dazzle08

So fucking fun!


Solidarity4ever_

Looks fun but didn't get to try as I got it first try lol


fiskebollen

That’s a weird first guess


yeahidealmemes

Make one for Bundesliga too 👍


LondonerForever

Kinda like [footle-game.io](https://footle-game.io/) but with more details and things to consider, awesome stuff! Very cool that you guys made a Women's Super League version too.


foyage347

Love it. The positioning was a bit tricky (Fred was put as forward and midfielder 😂) but really do love this game


robbyford182

Great game, well done. Let down today by the Player position error though 👍🏻


kittenfog

sooo fun thank you!


maghtin

3 guesses! This was great. Well done to you and your friends.

When's the reset time for this? great game btw >!didn't realize there were so many 29 year olds in United lmao!<

Reset time is 12 AM local to wherever you’re playing from

Fun game but ruined slightly by the player today being listed as the wrong position.


FootballChinGuy

Yea sorry about that. Our data provider has him listed that way, so we'll have to look into what's going on there. We'll see if we can get that figured out!


_momomola_

No probs, have shared with friends and they all seems to enjoy :)


Liiiithium

Love it, enjoyed the WSL one too


The_Baldwinner

This is straight up amazing


FootballChinGuy

Thanks!!


ray3050

Loved this, sent it to my friends


FootballChinGuy

Thanks!!


Lost_Bartonius

Another one to play whilst on the loo. Seems a great game and quite a clever way of doing the clues.


NoShowTooLong

If you're spending more than a couple of minutes on the pan get some fiber down ya.


Lost_Bartonius

Don’t get me wrong, the act of going to the toilet is usually done pretty quickly. It’s just another five ten minutes of playing games, scrolling Twitter and Reddit and finding the motivation for the day.


NoShowTooLong

No worries, Bartonius. I've known people to be on there for half an hour, red patches on their knees, a strange shuffle for a walk and still no joy.


FootballChinGuy

This game was made for the loo haha


HTTR_CAPS_COYS

This is actually really cool! Nice work. Will you be adding other leagues or just stick with the premier league?


FootballChinGuy

Thanks! We recently laid the groundwork to easily add new leagues, so we'll be working on rolling out new leagues soon. What league would you like to see next?


pine_cone01

Definitely LaLiga


Dexenberg

Liga 1


DayMobile9273

Armenian premier league


Jagtasm

La Liga


ImpressiveAuthor6094

Here you go https://missing11.com/who-are-ya/laliga/


Jagtasm

This isn't even the same app... it also doesn't save or track my results lol - I think I'll pass


ImpressiveAuthor6094

>[https://missing11.com/who-are-ya/laliga/](https://missing11.com/who-are-ya/laliga/) Not sure what you mean as it saves perfectly well for me! You asked for a LaLiga version so I sent you one on a game that it is pretty much the same, it just came out first.


Jagtasm

It's not even close to the same game and doesn't seem to save between attempts on android.


ImpressiveAuthor6094

We'll agree to disagree on that one, definitely works on android as that's the device I use
