Week 12 · 12 Oct - 18 Oct

Diego Costa

  • Matheus CunhaWolverhampton
  • Kieran TrippierAtletico Madrid
  • Ola AinaChelsea
  • Rafael da SilvaBotafogo

Clue: I'm a two-time Premier League winner, and I hold the record for the fastest goal in the UEFA Super Cup (49 seconds)

Two Premier League titles and a 49-second Super Cup goal. The Botafogo slot is the deep cut.

Week 11 · 5 Oct - 11 Oct

Theo Hernandez

  • Sandro TonaliAC Milan
  • Darwin NuñezAl-Hilal
  • Adnan JanuzajReal Sociedad
  • CasemiroReal Madrid

Clue: My father was a footballer too, and my brother has played for PSG and the French national team

The clue gave you the family; the board gave you four leagues. Casemiro was the anchor, and the Al-Hilal slot was the one people doubted.

Week 10 · 28 Sept - 4 Oct

Rodri

  • Diego CostaAtletico Madrid
  • Manuel AkanjiManchester City
  • Carlos BaccaVillarreal
  • Anthony GordonBarcelona

Clue: Ballon d'Or winner

Diego Costa on an Atlético slot two weeks before he became the answer himself. If you noticed, you had a head start.

Week 9 · 8 Sept - 27 Sept

Alexandre Pato

  • Ruben Loftus-CheekChelsea
  • Zlatan IbrahimovicAC Milan
  • NaniOrlando City
  • Roberto SoldadoVillarreal

Clue: I have just led a consortium to buy Northampton Town

Nobody arrives at Pato from a Northampton Town takeover. The Milan slot had to do the work, and the Orlando City slot is the one that stung - he and Nani barely played together thanks to a knee injury in the opening game.

Week 8 · 31 Aug - 7 Sept

Federico Valverde

  • Lucas PerezDeportivo de La Coruña
  • CasemiroReal Madrid
  • Diego ForlánPeñarol
  • Dean HuijsenReal Madrid

Clue: I scored one of the best hat tricks in Champions League history against Manchester City in 2026

The Peñarol slot was the tell, and only if you remembered that Forlán and Valverde shared exactly one title-winning season there before Real Madrid came calling.

Week 7 · 24 Aug - 30 Aug

Andre Onana

  • Stefan SavićTrabzonspor
  • Romelu LukakuInter Milan
  • Ryan GravenberchAjax
  • Alejandro GarnachoManchester United

Clue: I became the 3rd most expensive goalkeeper of all-time in 2023

The clue pointed straight at a record fee. The Trabzonspor slot is what stopped people trusting it.

Week 6 · 17 Aug - 23 Aug

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

  • Oscar GloukhAjax
  • Thomas LemarGirona
  • Granit XhakaBorussia Monchengladbach
  • Antoine GriezmannBarcelona

Clue: I've made 423 appearances for Barcelona, winning seven La Liga's and a Champions League in that time

The trap was the Girona and Ajax slots, both from ter Stegen's post-Barcelona wanderings rather than his prime.

Week 5 · 10 Aug - 16 Aug

Joao Palhinha

  • Andreas PereiraFulham
  • Leroy SanéBayern Munich
  • Xavi SimonsTottenham
  • Nuno MendesSporting Lisbon

Clue: I scored on the final day of the 2025/26 Premier League season to ensure Tottenham's survival

A holding midfielder hidden behind four attackers. The clue about keeping Tottenham up on the final day sent plenty of people hunting for a striker.

Week 4 · 3 Aug - 9 Aug

Marc Cucurella

  • Enes ÜnalGetafe
  • Alexis Mac AllisterBrighton
  • KikeEibar
  • Raheem SterlingChelsea

Clue: se bebe una Estrella 🎵

If you know, you know. The Eibar slot was the one that unlocked it: Cucurella's loan season there is the forgotten chapter of his career.

Week 3 · 27 Jul - 2 Aug

Jordan Henderson

  • Sadio ManéLiverpool
  • Wout WeghorstAjax
  • Danny WelbeckSunderland
  • Reiss NelsonBrentford

Clue: I was in England's World Cup squad in 2026, but my most memorable moment of the tournament was when I fell over an advertising board.

The Ajax slot carried the puzzle. Plenty of people never registered Henderson's Amsterdam spell at all.

Week 2 · 20 Jul - 26 Jul

Mikel Merino

  • Ousmane DembéléBorussia Dortmund
  • JorginhoArsenal
  • JoseluNewcastle United
  • Adnan JanuzajReal Sociedad

Clue: I have a famous celebration that I copied from my father, who did the same for Osasuna in 1991.

A midfielder whose career quietly threads through four leagues. The Newcastle season is the link most people forget, sandwiched between Dortmund and the Real Sociedad years before Arsenal.

Week 1 · 13 Jul - 19 Jul

Luka Milivojevic

  • Arthur MasuakuOlympiakos
  • Chancel MbembaAnderlecht
  • EvandroRed Star Belgrade
  • Michael OliseCrystal Palace

Clue: I most recently played in the UAE Pro League

The original. The clue was pure misdirection by omission: everyone remembers the Palace penalties and nobody remembers what came after.

How the Level of the Week works

One puzzle, hand-picked, refreshed every Monday at 00:00 UTC. Unlike the campaign it comes with a written clue, and unlike the dailies it stays up all week - so there is time to let it nag at you. Signed-in players keep their weekly results and streaks. When a new week begins, the old puzzle retires here with its answer revealed.
