TEAMSHEET: Test your self in Mail Sport’s new soccer reminiscence sport

Are you ready for the challenge? Well, here we are again for another day of Teamsheet… Mail Sport’s original football memory game that gives you the chance to show off your knowledge and earn the bragging rights over your mates.

Every day you play, you’ll be tasked with naming a starting XI from a random game in Premier League history. You’ll be given a team’s rough formation and how many letters each player’s surname is, and the challenge is to get all 11 stars in as few guesses as possible.

Every time you make a guess, a point is added to your total, with the BEST possible score 11. When you’re done, share your score with friends, family and colleagues but remember, it’s just for fun – and after you are finished, you can choose a team and we’ll produce a second Teamsheet for you. 

You can play two matches a day and pick ANY club – from Huddersfield to Manchester City – that has played in the Premier League since 2006. Premier League matches from 1992-2006 will be available in the coming weeks.  

Yesterday, we brought you back to a tough day for Manchester United fans when the Red Devils lost 7-0 to Liverpool, so today we’re reflecting on better times for the club when they beat Arsenal 8-2 in 2011, but do you remember who Sir Alex Ferguson selected that day? 

Go well!

HOW TO PLAY 

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible! 

If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point – so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.

Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it’ll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it’ll turn yellow. 

You have six guesses for each player. If you’re struggling to remember a player, you can ask for a free letter, but it’ll cost you a point and a guess. And if you use up all six guesses, we’ll tell you their name but it costs you 11 points. 

So play on to see if you’ll score the best possible total of 11 – or fail on every player and score 121.

 You can play two games a day, so make sure to come back tomorrow.
