Calculating player appearances

I'm computing player appearances for a few footballers. For McManaman, I noted 364 at Liverpool and 158 at Real, totaling 522. Alonso has 210 and 236, for a total of 446. Arbeloa has 98 and 238, totaling 336. I realize Owen's 297 and 45 gives him 342, ranking him above Arbeloa.

I’m uncertain about Morientes; his Real appearances might be around 272. Fabinho's numbers seem consistent, appearing 219 times for Liverpool. Overall, I might need to verify these stats further.Analyzing player appearances

I’ve confirmed that Fabinho has around 219 appearances for Liverpool, totaling about 220. For Nuri Sahin, he has 12 appearances for both Real Madrid and Liverpool, giving him 24 overall. Looking at others, Anelka has 31 and 22 for a total of 53, while Antonio Nunez has 13 and 27 for a total of 40. Jerzy Dudek’s numbers are 186 for Liverpool and 2 for Real, totaling 188.

I’m sorting out the top appearances and figuring out the exact rankings, especially concerning Owen and Arbeloa.Ranking player appearances

I'm checking Arbeloa's Real Madrid appearances, which might be around 238, with 98 for Liverpool, totaling 336. This puts him in the top four along with McManaman, Alonso, and Owen. It seems mentioning Alexander-Arnold among the top three is likely incorrect.

So, I could ask if the user wants a list of players who represented both teams sorted by total appearances. I'll provide an updated ranking, defaulting to all competitions, and keep the format concise with a few bullet points.Presenting the compact ranking

I’m aiming to present a compact top 8 ranking of player appearances across all competitions. I should note that these numbers are approximate and provide a caveat regarding verification.

I might want to ask the user if they’d like me to verify the exact counts from source to source, but I’ll write this in Chinese to match their preferences. I’ll keep it concise and structured to follow the guidelines!
