Note that:
- inappropriate columns can be omitted, e.g. if the player has never played in a country with a League Cup competition, or in a Continental competition;
- per this RfC, notes can be added next to "National cup" and "League cup" in the header, to indicate the list of cup competitions associated to the clubs the player has played for. In case a player has only played under one league system (for example, only in Portugal), "National cup" and "League cup" can be replaced by the specific names of the cup competitions (in Portugal's case, Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga), without the need for notes;
- per this talk page discussion, a column named "State league" can be added to players who appeared in Brazilian football;
- assists columns are against consensus, and should not be included (and should be removed if they are already in an article);
- ideally, each row should be individually sourced. If this is not done, reference(s) for the entire table should appear within this section;
- some FAQs are answered and examples linked at this talk page discussion;
- as to repetition of league division, this thread suggests that, while "there is a slight advantage in accessibility when you repeat cells, rather than rowspanning them", "our readers won't be disadvantaged noticeably if we don't repeat every cell that contains duplicate data".
