I think you should add players to this series, for example if you choose yaya toure , than it means that in this category you have to choose a player that played with him. Thin it would be really fun
Luke you know what could be a good idea for a slight spin off? You name the teams/categories as usual, then you each do all 9 squares at the same time butt don't share your answers. Once each person is finished (maybe a time limit) you compare answers. Can't write same player twice, 1 point if you select a player that the other person doesn't select. 0 points each if you write the same. Makes it quite interesting tactically do you go for obscure, or pick the obvious anticipating the other person goes obscure. Winner is on total points not rounds. Could be good fun!
CONCACAF CL x United - N/A Inter - N/A Barcelona - N/A Surprisingly little overlap there 🤣 Swedish x United - Elanga/Lindelöf Inter - Zlatan Ibrahimovic Barcelona - Henrik Larsson Burnley x United - Weghorst Inter - N/A Barcelona - N/A
27:43 Marco Asensio He played for Mallorca before joining Real Madrid and had a 1 season Loan from there at Espanyol (2015-16). But I only know that because I played lots of FIFA 16
for some reason on the last board joselu came to mind for Real x Espanol when i looked it up joselu actually got a better goal to game ratio for real then both puskas and di stefano
i dont think that concacaf column was possible i asked chat gpt and he came with some good shouts like giovani dos santos and chicherito and marquez like u said but coincidentally no one of them ever won it but chat gpt is updated only till September 2021 so maybe there was someone in the last 2 years. after searching myself i found out there are a few overlaps i found: man city: Albert Rusnák won the concacaf 2022 Seattle sounders atletico madrid: Matías Kranevitter won the concacaf in 2021 with Montterey spurs: Vincent Janssen won the concacaf in 2021 with Montterey sevilla: Guido Pizarro won the concacaf in 2020 with Tigres Villareal: Javier Aquino won the concacaf in 2020 with Tigres Marseille: Gignac won the concacaf in 2020 with Tigres Roma: Nicolás López won the concacaf in 2020 with Tigres there probably more if u check more years but somehow pingu said 3 clubs that r impossible with the concacaf lol. about this year LAFC and Leon are in the final (which will be played on 1\6 if anyone cares) so there could be more interesting overlaps like: LAFC: Eldin Jakupović that played for Everton, Leiceste and Hull Giorgio Chiellini that played for Juventus and Fiorentina Mateusz Bogusz that played for Leeds Carlos vela that played for Arsenal and Real sociadad Leon: Joel Campbell that played for Arsenal, Betis, Villareal , Sporting CP there r probably more known Concacaf winners but i cba to continue as i spent 30 minutes on this already and its 1:27 am thanks for the 2 ppl that will like this
For Espanyol-Real Madrid there are so many players you could have chosen: Asensio, De Tomas, Pacheco, Joselu. All those are active players. I am sure there are poenty of more too
27:55 as a real madrid fan marco asensio popped straight into my mind as his loan at espanyol was the first time i heard of him and if i remember correctly he also scored against mdrid during that loan edit: nvm thats incorrect he scored against madrid but he did play for espanyol
Find it mad how pingu sits and Google’s players whilst nep is considering a player not acc confirming it because if nep then changed his mind and picked someone else and pingu has already searched whether he’s right or not, he could then say that player. Could also see other players he’s played with at the club etc. think pingu should avoid google completely to avoid any speculation after Danny caught him out
Thoughts about ties. You could bring back the board (or one of the boards) and have a tie breaker. My first thoughts would be a "steal" so you can steal an opponents section by naming a second player. Or probably better you both name a club (or pick one section from a board) and have to name a player who matches those and whoever picks the player with the least appearences wins.
A Think you should change it up and use like rangers or celtic, because there is alot of players who went to the prem or somewhere else, would be a good challenge to see
Pingu, I have a hunch that you have a player in mind when choosing teams at the start. For example, game 1 you considered Celtic but went for Barca, were you thinking Henrik Larsson when picking that final team?
You could choose some south american clubs or trophies like Copa Libertadores or Campeonato Brasileiro because there are a lot of players that won these competitions and played for european teams...
17:55 for that french lazio spot i though about Grégoire Defrel but it is incorrect as he played mainly for sassulo and roma i remembered ham as a fast silver card maybe thats what nep thought about too
For Chinese/Brazilian there's also Aloísio "boi bandido", his Chinese name in fifa was Luo Guofu. I only know that because he played in my team tbh lol
asensio would have worked for real and espanyol, used his inform in fifa 16 and that card for some reason always pops to my head when thinking past clubs for players lol
So here are my answers for the thumbnail (all from the top of my head except for 1): Real Madrid - PSG Navas is there, Areola also works Real Madrid - Hoffenheim Alaba Real Madrid - Chile Ivan Zamorano Hannover - PSG (I Googled this one) Melvüt Erdinç Hannover - Hoffenheim Bebou is there, but Hungarian Striker Szalai also works Hannover - Chile Miiko Albornoz Everton - PSG we got Digne, also Moise Kean Everton - Hannover Sigurdsson Everton - Chile there isn't one
Fella called Tang Shi went on loan to Real Madrid in his youth career, but he played for Wuhan Optics Valley, not Three Towns, he was born there, so maybe had a trial or something 🤣🤣🤣
Okay listen, if you pick the corner first and they dont pick the middle you should pretty much be guaranteed to win because if you take the center they will have to go the opposing corner to your first one, then when you take a new corner you got them in two directions
I’m surprised out of all the tic tac toes no one has worked out the op tactic. The tactic that wins 99% all of the time is you want to capture 3 corners so usually best do 2 corners opposite each other to force mid and then take the other corner and then you have 2 ways to win ect no one ever expects it and by time they catch on its over
Nep asking did they have to win the Champions league for that club like he couldn’t just name any Milan legend lmao. Giroud is world class though. Great video as per usual.
Ever since THAT squad builder showdown nep did... i haven't been able to ever find myself liking him. This hasn't my opinion but enjoy the vid concept so watched anyways

ok
Nep turning round and blaming Pingu for it being tough in the first round got me 😂
🤣🤣
That Barca and Cup first round I thought maybe Thierry Henry has won it?
i feel like nep didn't fully understand the rule but never the less one of the more entertaining episodes!
I think you should add players to this series, for example if you choose yaya toure , than it means that in this category you have to choose a player that played with him.
Thin it would be really fun
Yeah will be for sure in the future
11:43 Zambrotta never played for Chelsea actually! But loved that you brought on Nepenthez!
Might have been thinking of Zappacosta who actually came to me before Tammy and Matic 😅
This episode should be good with Nep! :) thanks Luke

but wouldn't they both then have the same amount of points ?
Love this series. Great fun trying to rack your brain for players.
Nep definitely raised the bar today 💪
you could also add players, like name a player that has played with a certain player
Hold up, surely Pingu giving it “ooh, I’ve definitely got one now” whilst looking at his monitor is just a bit suss, right?
Nacka Skoglund for Sweden/Inter, played almost 300 games for them.
Club legend.
CONCACAF CL x
United - N/A
Inter - N/A
Barcelona - N/A
Surprisingly little overlap there 🤣
Swedish x
United - Elanga/Lindelöf
Inter - Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Barcelona - Henrik Larsson
Burnley x
United - Weghorst
Inter - N/A
Barcelona - N/A
Really love nep but god those first round choices 😂
Its special ✨️
27:43
Marco Asensio
He played for Mallorca before joining Real Madrid and had a 1 season Loan from there at Espanyol (2015-16). But I only know that because I played lots of FIFA 16
for some reason on the last board joselu came to mind for Real x Espanol when i looked it up joselu actually got a better goal to game ratio for real then both puskas and di stefano
i dont think that concacaf column was possible i asked chat gpt and he came with some good shouts like giovani dos santos and chicherito and marquez like u said but coincidentally no one of them ever won it but chat gpt is updated only till September 2021 so maybe there was someone in the last 2 years.
after searching myself i found out there are a few overlaps i found:
man city: Albert Rusnák won the concacaf 2022 Seattle sounders
atletico madrid: Matías Kranevitter won the concacaf in 2021 with Montterey
spurs: Vincent Janssen won the concacaf in 2021 with Montterey
sevilla: Guido Pizarro won the concacaf in 2020 with Tigres
Villareal: Javier Aquino won the concacaf in 2020 with Tigres
Marseille: Gignac won the concacaf in 2020 with Tigres
Roma: Nicolás López won the concacaf in 2020 with Tigres
there probably more if u check more years but somehow pingu said 3 clubs that r impossible with the concacaf lol.
about this year LAFC and Leon are in the final (which will be played on 1\6 if anyone cares) so there could be more interesting overlaps like:
LAFC:
Eldin Jakupović that played for Everton, Leiceste and Hull
Giorgio Chiellini that played for Juventus and Fiorentina
Mateusz Bogusz that played for Leeds
Carlos vela that played for Arsenal and Real sociadad
Leon:
Joel Campbell that played for Arsenal, Betis, Villareal , Sporting CP
there r probably more known Concacaf winners but i cba to continue as i spent 30 minutes on this already and its 1:27 am thanks for the 2 ppl that will like this
Great research 👏
I probably should have chose an MLS side to give it a chance
@@LukePingu or Mexican league from what I seen the Mexican league clubs won it more and it was the same when I played with tigres in football manager
For Espanyol-Real Madrid there are so many players you could have chosen: Asensio, De Tomas, Pacheco, Joselu.
All those are active players.
I am sure there are poenty of more too
people thinking of Lewa while i was thinking Paco Alcacer😅
the only answer to the 'most impressive guest' HAS to be duttinho man i couldnt believe the ball knowledge
As an American I loved that Concaf pull
Karl Lennart "Nacka" Skoglund works for Sweden and inter. He played 241 matches for them.
27:55 as a real madrid fan marco asensio popped straight into my mind as his loan at espanyol was the first time i heard of him and if i remember correctly he also scored against mdrid during that loan
edit: nvm thats incorrect he scored against madrid but he did play for espanyol
Vazquez did tho
@@LukePingu that’s a question for who wants to be a fifa millionaire
Goran slavkovski seems to be the only Swedish inter Milan player, that’s crazy 🤣
”Nacka” Skoglund
Beats Nep but loses to Oakelfish and Danny Aarons
Find it mad how pingu sits and Google’s players whilst nep is considering a player not acc confirming it because if nep then changed his mind and picked someone else and pingu has already searched whether he’s right or not, he could then say that player. Could also see other players he’s played with at the club etc. think pingu should avoid google completely to avoid any speculation after Danny caught him out
Nep really parked the bus in the first minute
20:58
Pepe Reina works for the entire Spain row 😂
Thoughts about ties. You could bring back the board (or one of the boards) and have a tie breaker. My first thoughts would be a "steal" so you can steal an opponents section by naming a second player. Or probably better you both name a club (or pick one section from a board) and have to name a player who matches those and whoever picks the player with the least appearences wins.
Problem is with steals is the episode might just go on forever 🤣
@@LukePingu True but there is a third choice. Do a triple one. First to think of someone from 3 categories.
Pjanic could have worked for Roma Barca as well, he says while it also works for Lyon Roma lmao
A Think you should change it up and use like rangers or celtic, because there is alot of players who went to the prem or somewhere else, would be a good challenge to see
For Lazio and France was anyone else screaming Djibril Cisse ahaha
🧠
what a joke of a guy blaming you for the first round lol
You looked at your screen and went ooo I’ve got a player now 😂
Pingu, I have a hunch that you have a player in mind when choosing teams at the start. For example, game 1 you considered Celtic but went for Barca, were you thinking Henrik Larsson when picking that final team?
You could choose some south american clubs or trophies like Copa Libertadores or Campeonato Brasileiro because there are a lot of players that won these competitions and played for european teams...
17:55 for that french lazio spot i though about Grégoire Defrel but it is incorrect as he played mainly for sassulo and roma i remembered ham as a fast silver card maybe thats what nep thought about too
🧠🧠
Funny that on the first game zlatan could be used for all the ones down the middle
He's a journeyman
There ain’t no 3pm blackout where I live sickna for you mate
10:11 I think brolin would of worked for inter and Sweden idk tho
chelsea roma could be tammy abraham, mo salah and pedro
pedro also worked for roma barca
For Chinese/Brazilian there's also Aloísio "boi bandido", his Chinese name in fifa was Luo Guofu. I only know that because he played in my team tbh lol
🧠🧠🧠
asensio would have worked for real and espanyol, used his inform in fifa 16 and that card for some reason always pops to my head when thinking past clubs for players lol
Need Luke’s keyboard on show. Swear mans cheating 😂😂
Nep the goat!! Thank you Pingu for bringing him in ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed 😉
Tell me you’re deep into gambling without telling me. Nephentez: Chinese league and mls knowledge, that’s something you don’t watch for fun
Nep does Sorare and that covers a huge range of leagues
French Lazio could have had Louis Saha and Djibril Cisse
Funnily enough when he switched from Celtic to Barca, the answer stayed the same for me, my personal goat, henrik larsson
So here are my answers for the thumbnail (all from the top of my head except for 1):
Real Madrid - PSG Navas is there, Areola also works
Real Madrid - Hoffenheim Alaba
Real Madrid - Chile Ivan Zamorano
Hannover - PSG (I Googled this one) Melvüt Erdinç
Hannover - Hoffenheim Bebou is there, but Hungarian Striker Szalai also works
Hannover - Chile Miiko Albornoz
Everton - PSG we got Digne, also Moise Kean
Everton - Hannover Sigurdsson
Everton - Chile there isn't one
theres no way bro went for concacaf CL, sweden and burnley for his first picks
🤣🤣🤣
Need a efl special for the playoff finals and play Benjamin bloom
For the first one Ibra could fit into the Barca category for the teams on the left hes played for Man u Barca Inter and Sweden
11:53 Zambrotta never played for Chelsea 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Fella called Tang Shi went on loan to Real Madrid in his youth career, but he played for Wuhan Optics Valley, not Three Towns, he was born there, so maybe had a trial or something 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Diego Lopez works for Espanyol- Real Madrid
For Inter/Sweden there is a Swedish legend called Nacka Skoglund that played in the 50s for them.
Oh yeah should have said him
@@LukePinguhe was so obvious! Crazy that you didn’t think of him🙄🤣
digne could have also worked for barca-roma!
Pingu what team do you support bc it’s either Wednesday or derby
Nacka Skoglund is a swede who played for Inter!
France Lazio is easy you could have Louis Saha, basil boli, ousemane dabo
Sounds like the general G 😭😭
Marco Asensio for both Real Madrid and Espanyol⚽
I can name 5 swedish players to have played for man utd
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Anthony Elanga
Victor Lindelof
Henrik Larsson
Blomqvist
Louis Saha is the only French Lazio player I could think of
Djibril Cisse
It took me about half way into the video to realize he’s in Danny’s room
Real Madrid+Espanyol = JOSELUUUUUU!!
Esteban Granero fits Real / Espanyol he played at QPR for a year also
De Tomas as well right?
Why’s his background always Danny Aaron’s room😂
For real madrid - espanyol the answer was diego lopez or kiki casilla
Joselu for Real Madrid and Espanyol would work
Newcastle legend
Okay listen, if you pick the corner first and they dont pick the middle you should pretty much be guaranteed to win because if you take the center they will have to go the opposing corner to your first one, then when you take a new corner you got them in two directions
Sounds good
I’m surprised out of all the tic tac toes no one has worked out the op tactic. The tactic that wins 99% all of the time is you want to capture 3 corners so usually best do 2 corners opposite each other to force mid and then take the other corner and then you have 2 ways to win ect no one ever expects it and by time they catch on its over
Maybe I do know 🧠
Doesn't this just not work, since the other person just wins down the middle with their 3 free turns...
@Hailey-ej9yn if you go first you take a corner. If you go 2nd you take the middle
Nep has a chance to do this twice and chose incorrectly each time 😂
Arturo Vidal won the sud American champions last year!
Lindlof ibra Larsson 👑 was my first thought
Does Lopez the goalie work for Real/Espanyol? Think he also played for AC Milan
Nep asking did they have to win the Champions league for that club like he couldn’t just name any Milan legend lmao. Giroud is world class though. Great video as per usual.
We glossing over that Luke said Boro is in the midlands??
Rogue shout but when you said fifa. I thought if Biabiany. Not sure if he played for Lazio though
Maybe yeah
Who was waiting for a pre planned UCL winner from PSG 😂
Let's see how this turns out boys👹👹
Martin Bengtsson for swedish milian xD
Exposing Nep in the intro, to prove that he doesn't understand how this game works. 🤭
what about hannover 96 from the thumbnail?
Pingu going for a japanese player when thinking of someone for a chinese club is a bit questionable
I was stretching extremely far. But on the spot that's all I could think of 🤣
If a nation is picked next game
Choose athletic Bilbao as they only have Spanish clever block off
Roma and Chelsea is also Mo Salah
Pingu looks to his right during Neps guess 🤥🤥 cheating?
Are you a Derby County fan? Cuz I support your rivals Nottingham Forest
Anyone noticed that he is in danny aaron's old setup
Brolin for inter,sweden?
Nope, only Parma in Italy for Brolin
Sweden Inter you could go for Lennart ”Nacka” Skoglund.
Oh yeah
@@LukePingu didn’t expect neither of you two to get him, I only know about him because he is a legend at my club here in Sweden.
Ever since THAT squad builder showdown nep did... i haven't been able to ever find myself liking him. This hasn't my opinion but enjoy the vid concept so watched anyways
CONCAF Champion/ Barcelona: Hugo Sánchez ??
Good shout, not sure tho
why is dannys setup his background
MUTD - Champions League...
CR7?
Cisse and Saha played for Lazio
🧠🧠
I am really disappointed that no one said the legend biabiany for lazio and France
Has anyone ever chosen Belgium for a nation? I don't remember seeing them
1 episode for sure
The English immobile
Asensio for Español/Real Madrid would work!
Lucas Vazquez too
Up the owls😜
