Before you play
How does Missing Lineup work?
Choose an exact event and fill the missing names on its pitch, playing XI, starting grid or last-eight bracket. Correct names move into place automatically.
Can I choose a difficulty?
Yes. Missing Lineup has Club with three missing names, Expert with six and Legend with every name missing. These tiers describe how much you must recall, not a tested rating of how hard each event is.
Can I choose a sporting era?
Yes. Filter solo collections by before 1990, the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s or 2020s, or play all eras. Daily, Weekly and shared challenges keep the same questions for everyone. Eras describe sporting events, not players’ birth years.
What happens when I get stuck?
For each missing name, you can request a contextual clue, initials and a surname pattern. Hints reduce that name’s available points. You can also reveal a name to finish the board.
