The Playmaker Quiz

It's been ages since the last Playmaker Quiz: let's recap.

What started out as a bit of Friday fun about 18 months ago remained exactly that until...we got too busy and had to shelve our weekly questionnaire.  

However, we feel we owe all involved some statistical downtime at the end of a hectic week, so it's back! Resuscitated (and full of needlessly long words!).

There are two big bits of news accompanying this comeback quiz: 

1. It is far more EFL-focused. Our Playmaker Twitter page concentrates heavily on what's going down in the Championship, L1 and L2 and that will be reflected in these quizzes from now on. 

2. We are delighted to say that our stat partners @TheNinetyTwo_ (website at: theninetytwo.net  ) will be getting involved with these going forward - so they'll be even more varied and dastardly! 

The Vascotron

As those who ran the gauntlet in the past will remember, the Playmaker Quiz is always road-tested prior to dispatch by our office stat guru: Vasco. Although Portuguese through-and-through, Vasco is a walking football encyclopedia who bagged his current role by reeling off both starting XIs from the 2001 UEFA Cup Final (Liverpool v Alaves...how many can you name?!) in his job interview. The Vascotron retains guinea pig duties for the 17/18 season; if you out-perform TV, you've done well. 

This week the venerable Vascotron scored a decent 6 out of 10 (though there was one gimme regarding Portuguese managers!). Beat that.
