What is Anyone But?
Anyone But is a daily inverse football trivia puzzle by Playmaker where fans name footballers who satisfy three distinct career milestone tables while avoiding one iconic excluded star. Each daily challenge highlights an excluded player alongside three simultaneous criteria categories — such as shared club histories, transfer valuation milestones, or career goal tallies. Players submit footballer names to uncover matching slots across all three tables. Guesses that match multiple criteria simultaneously trigger multi-hit combos, unlocking slots across multiple tables with a single submission.
