PLAY TEAMSHEET: Can YOU name the Newcastle’s team from a 2-2 draw with Ipswich back in 2002? Or pick YOUR team and guess their starting XI

By No Comments2 Mins Read

Welcome back to Teamsheet… Mail Sport’s original football memory game with a twist that leaves you scratching your head as you try and remember Premier League starting XIs of years gone by.

Ahead of the two teams meeting this weekend, we take you back to a meeting between Newcastle and Ipswich Town from back in 2002.

The Tractor Boys earned a 2-2 draw at St James’ Park, with Marcus Bent scoring twice to effectively end Newcastle’s faint Premier League title hopes. The hosts were left to rue a missed penalty in stoppage time.

We want to see whether you can name the starting line-up Newcastle fielded for the match. 

It’s just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score… full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself. And you can also pick any team you like and guess their starting XI.

Best of luck!

HOW TO PLAY 

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible!

If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point – so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.

Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it’ll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it’ll turn yellow.

You have six guesses for each player – and if you fail, we’ll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point.

So play on to see if you’ll score the best possible total of 11 – or fail on every player and score 121.
