Place the 10 players on the podium by ordering them from highest to lowest according to the theme of the day.
The Podium is a daily interactive challenge where you must sort 10 football players from highest to lowest according to a specific category. Every day brings a new theme: it could be career goals, assists in a season, market value, age, or even their rating in popular video games.
The mechanics are simple but challenging: you must drag and drop the players' cards to place them on the podium levels. The player with the highest number or value should go at the top (position #1), and the one with the lowest at the bottom (position #10). You can rearrange them as many times as you like before submitting your final response.
To help you when you're stuck, there is a HINT button that you can use only once per game. When pressed, it will evaluate your current arrangement and lock in green any players that are already correctly placed.
You can play in two modes:
Once you are confident with your arrangement, press the Submit button to see your final score. The game will show you the exact statistics for each player so you can learn exactly where you went wrong. Can you get a perfect 10/10?
Good Luck!
The tradition of using a three-tiered podium to honor the top three competitors originated at the 1930 British Empire Games (now Commonwealth Games) in Canada, and was adopted by the Olympic Games in 1932. Before that, winners simply stood on the field.
In football, the most famous 'podium' is the one for the Ballon d'Or ceremony. Lionel Messi holds the record for the most appearances in the top 3 (14 times), followed closely by Cristiano Ronaldo (12 times), illustrating their unprecedented dominance of an entire football era.
Sorting players by market value can be incredibly tricky because it fluctuates based on age, contract length, and potential. Currently, platforms like Transfermarkt consider players like Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland, and Vinícius Júnior as the most valuable, all surpassing the €150 million mark.
The concept of rating players with a number from 1 to 99 was popularized by football video games in the late 90s. Today, these ratings are so influential that real professional players often publicly complain to developers if they feel their speed or shooting stats are too low.
