On Target

Stack goals into the target band.

On Target is push-your-luck with a football brain. A target band sits on a meter; you add players one at a time, each one's stat total stacking your score toward it. Stop while you're inside the band and the score banks. Sail past the top of it and you bust to nothing β€” every player you named, gone.

The opening picks are easy swings, but the approach is the game: you're inside the band, the next player banks or busts you, and you have to *know* β€” not hope β€” roughly what their tally is. It quietly tests the least glamorous knowledge in football: not who was great, but how much, exactly.

In a duel you take turns stacking your own meters, and watching an opponent bust on the final pick is one of the great free pleasures of the app.

How to play

  1. Add players one at a time β€” each adds their stat to a running total.
  2. A target band sits on the meter. Stop while your total is inside it to score.
  3. Overshoot the top of the band and you bust to zero.
From the coach

Chuck players in one at a time and watch the meter climb. There's a green sweet spot β€” pull up inside it and you're golden. Sail past and it's back to nowt.

Good to know

It’s you if "stick or twist" is a question you answer with a spreadsheet heart.
