The BBC Sport daily footballer quiz is back, and Premier League fans are once again being put to the test. The eighth edition of the 'Who Am I?' series landed on the BBC Sport website on Monday, inviting supporters to identify a mystery Premier League player in as few attempts as possible.
How the game works
The rules are refreshingly straightforward. Each day a new footballer is chosen, and players unlock clues one by one with every wrong guess they submit. The fewer clues you need, the higher your score. According to BBC Sport, getting the answer in three clues is considered a good return, while cracking it in four or five clues is described as exceptional.
Today's puzzle has been set by BBC Sport's Flora Snelson, who has been keeping fans on their toes throughout the series with a selection of clues that range from the deceptively simple to the fiendishly obscure.
Part of a growing quiz culture around the Premier League
The 'Who Am I?' format sits alongside a broader slate of football quizzes BBC Sport has published this year. Recent editions have challenged readers to name every club in the Premier League and EFL, recall the players with the most Premier League appearances, and identify the Lionesses with the most England caps. There is clearly an appetite for this kind of daily brain-teaser, particularly during a period when social media challenges and Wordle-style games have become a staple part of how fans engage with football on a day-to-day basis.
The format rewards genuine knowledge of the Premier League — not just the headline names but the kind of biographical detail and career history that separates a casual watcher from a true obsessive. Birthplace, previous clubs, international history, shirt numbers — all are fair game as the clues unfold.
