🎯 Strategy Tips
Clear SCOTTISH CLUBS (Yellow) first with obvious picks like CELTIC and RANGERS. Next, lock in TYPE OF KICK WHERE THE BALL GOES IN THE AIR (Green). For the remaining items, separate the English top-flight leaders (PREMIER LEAGUE CAPTAINS - Blue) from the "LA" prefix phrase completions (LA ______ - Purple).
⚠️ Red Herring Warning: Watch out for "DUNK"! Don't get tripped up trying to pair DUNK with physical movements or basketball terms. DUNK refers strictly to Brighton center-back and skipper Lewis Dunk in PREMIER LEAGUE CAPTAINS!
