Blades Player Speed Run Game

[YorkBlade]

These can be a bit of fun and a welcome distraction from the end of the world.

The way it works is you have to get from one player to another via player connections, so you think of a player you want to end with and a player to start with and try to find connections until you land on that initial player. It's classic reverse engineering (said in a Partridge voice).

Here is an example:

Ryan Giggs to Oli McBurnie


- Ryan Giggs played with Paul Pogba (at Manchester Red)

- Paul Pogba played with Gianluigi Buffon (at Juventus)

- Gianluigi Buffon played with Fernando Llorente (at Juventus)

- Fernando Llorente played with Oli McBurnie (at Swansea)

another example would be:

Lionel Messi to David McGoldrick


- Lionel Messi plays with Angel Di Maria (for Argentina)

- Angel Di Maria played with David De Gea (at Manchester Red)

- David De Gea plays with Dean Henderson (at Manchester Red)

- Dean Henderson played with David McGoldrick (at Yooonited)



Please feel free to set your own in this thread.

Oli Burke to (Cristiano) Ronaldo:

Ronaldo plays for Man Utd

Oli Burke scored against Man Utd

You also can have:

Ronaldo plays with Scott McTominay at Man Utd

Burke played with McTominay for Scotland

whichever way you look at it, Oli Burke is only 1 step removed from Ronaldo (the problem is that the 'step' is a big one).
