How the Premier League Ballsy Picks works

Seven questions, one shot each. Name a player who fits the question within 20 seconds, then shoot.

Distance comes straight from the share of the other players who named the same player: the rarer, the further out, on one scale for everyone. The % you see is the number that sets your distance.

FAQ

Where does the % come from?

From today's other players who got the question right and named the same player (your own pick isn't counted). Until 200 have, it is an early estimate that starts from how strongly the player fits the question in our data and moves to the real share as picks come in. Your % and distance are fixed when you pick.

Which games count?

Premier League games from 1992/93.

Is it the same for everyone?
