Soccer Degrees of Separation
- You get a start player and a target player.
- Name a teammate of the start player, someone at the same club in the same season. National teams don’t count.
- Keep linking teammates until you reach the target.
- Your first wrong guess at each link is free. After that, each miss counts as an extra player in between.

About this game & data
Link the start player to the target through teammates. Fewer links, higher score.
Son Heung-min links them with 1 player in between. That’s the ideal.
Karim Bellarabi and Christian Eriksen were never teammates, so the board needs at least one link.

What goes into Soccer Degrees of Separation boards
Both ends come from the goals and assists leaders of the five leagues, even if you follow fewer in Settings.
A link is any club season together in any club competition, so a loan spell abroad counts. National teams don’t.
Club World Cup and Intercontinental Cup games count as club football.
Your first wrong guess at each link is free. After that, each miss counts as an extra player in between.
Players who spent a season in another league are your shortcuts.
