Dries Mertens — questions

Which club does Dries Mertens play for?

Dries Mertens is recorded at FC Utrecht. Transfers change clubs, so the record is a snapshot rather than a live feed.

Could Dries Mertens be a Extra Time answer?

Dries Mertens is 13 characters, so it is not a five-letter answer itself; the five-letter names and terms in the database are what the board draws on.

Where does this record come from?

The same open football database the game is built on (primarily DBpedia, derived from Wikipedia under a free licence), maintained alongside the puzzle. A blank field means the source did not state the value; nothing is invented to fill a gap.
