The higher-or-lower game for your club.

How it works

You're shown a player and one of their career stats — appearances, goals, assists and more. Then a second player appears with their number hidden. Your job is to decide whether their number is higher or lower. Call it right and you carry on; call it wrong and you lose a life. Three lives, one growing streak — how far can you get?

There's a fuller breakdown of the rules, the modes and the scoring on the how to play page.

Ways to play

Every club, every nation

Hundreds of clubs and national teams to play, spanning leagues across six continents — from the Premier League to the EFL, Europe's giants, and national sides from England to Argentina. Rugby league is in there too, alongside baseball, basketball and ice hockey.

Whoever you support, your club is probably in here — and if it isn't, you can request it.

The data

Every card is built from real career records, compiled from publicly available sources and checked before anything goes into a game. It's an ongoing job rather than a finished one, and there's more about the approach on the how it works page.

The numbers themselves aren't published anywhere on the site, for the obvious reason — they're the answers.

Why it looks like this

The design is a deliberate throwback — sticker albums and old football management screens, condensed type, gold keylines, cream and blue.

That isn't nostalgia for its own sake. The game asks you to remember players, and most people's memory of a footballer is tied up with how they first came across them: a sticker they could never get hold of, a name in a scrolling squad list, a face on a card swapped in a playground. Looking like those things puts you in the right frame of mind before you've answered a single question.

Inside the games, your club keeps its own colours. Whatever else is going on, it should still feel like your club.

Who makes this

Play Your Club Right is built and run by Andrew Cherrie, an Oxford United supporter based in Wakefield. There's no team and no company behind it.

It began as one game, for one club, with no intention of it going any further. The first few people who saw it all asked the same question — could they have one for their club? Answering that properly meant building something that would work for any club rather than just this one, and once that was solved there was no obvious reason to stop.

One club became a handful. A handful became a few dozen. Rugby league followed, then baseball, basketball and hockey, each with their own numbers and their own way of playing.

Everything here — the games, the design, the leaderboards, the app — is one person's work in evenings and weekends. That explains both how quickly it changes and why some corners are rougher than others.
