Which 2026 World Cup nation actually has the best cuisine?

In today's episode of Sorare with Laird, we are breaking down the entry costs for Arena competitions. With the European seasons winding down, is now the perfect time to buy the dip?I'm looking specifically at the Premier League-only Arena and calculating exactly what it costs to build a competitive squad (almost) from scratch. After experimenting with MLS, I'm weighing the pros and cons of expanding my gallery into other leagues to prepare for Sorare 27.In this video:• Cost Analysis: Real-time market prices for Premier League Arena teams.• MLS vs. Europe: Lessons learned from my recent MLS matches and how they apply to broader league play.• Market Timing: Why buying as seasons end could be the ultimate "buy low" opportunity for long-term growth.• Building for Sorare 27: Planning my roadmap for the upcoming transition.Support the content by becoming a supporting member of the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlairdBecome a Sorare manager today: https://sorare.pxf.io/WyLBnZBegin your MFL journey: https://app.playmfl.com/?referrer=F2047CJoin Sport.Fun: https://pro.sport.fun/login/?referral_code=UITMX28FXU9#Sorare #Premier League #MLS #SorareArena #FantasyFootball #Sorare27 #NFTFootball #FantasyFootball #FantasyPremierLeague #FPL

Today, Laird and Harry Trades dive deep into the latest Sorare survey and our early predictions for Sorare 27. Sorare is exploring a new dynamic: reward boosts for using higher scarcity cards in lower scarcity competitions. We discuss what this means for gallery utility and market values.In this episode, we break down:• Scarcity Reward Boosts: Is entering a Limited competition with Rare cards going to be the new meta? We analyze the potential "pay-to-win" vs. "utility-boost" balance.• Hot Streaks vs. Leaderboards: With J League, K League, and MLS leading the way in separate gameplay modes, will this split become the permanent standard for all of Sorare Pro?• The "Set" Influence: Sorare Set introduced levels, lives, and instant progression. Could these mobile-first mechanics—like "releasing" players mid-Game Week—actually make their way into the Pro ecosystem?• Market Strategy: How to prep your gallery now before these dynamics are officially confirmed.Whether you're a high-stakes Unique manager or a Limited grinder, these changes will redefine how we play.Join the Laird Social Club:Get exclusive data, strategy sheets, and Discord access by joining the Patreon: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird#Sorare #Sorare27 #FantasyFootball #NFTGaming #SorareStrategy

We've all had those moments on Sorare that make us want to close the app and walk away. Today on the SorareAndrews Show, we're diving deep into the "Nut Lows"—the most frustrating, head-scratching, and downright worst aspects of the Sorare experience.From the pain of a DNP in a crucial game week to the UI quirks that drive us wild, we are ranking them all. Whether you're a seasoned whale or a casual manager, you've felt these lows.

Is "Maximum Efficiency" actually possible on Sorare, or will it just ruin my weekend?In today's episode of Sorare with Laird, I'm putting my sanity on the line. I'm going through every single available card in my gallery for this weekend's competitions to see what would happen if I played the "waiting game."The goal is to calculate exactly how much time and effort it would take to plan out every lineup if I waited for each player's game to start before locking them in. Is the extra edge worth the time, or am I just setting myself up for a miserable weekend of spreadsheets and countdowns?In this video:• Gallery deep-dive for all upcoming competitions.• The "Real-Time" strategy vs. the "Set and Forget" approach.• The final time-cost breakdown of being a Sorare perfectionist.Is this doable or is it insane?

The biggest shift in Sorare history is here. With the introduction of Sorare Set, the platform has introduced a totally different way to play—moving away from the rigid "Game Week" structure and into a world of levels, lives, and instant progression.But it raises a massive question: Will Sorare eventually change Pro to mimic this new style?In today's video, we're breaking down the fundamental differences between Set and Pro gameplay. While Pro is about the long-term marathon and managing a gallery over a full season (and maybe longer!), Set is a self-contained sprint. You can complete multiple levels in a single day, players are released immediately after their lineups end, and the "Board" mechanics feel more like a modern mobile game than a traditional fantasy sports competition.What we're covering:• The Gameplay Loop: Why "Lives" and "Levels" might be the future of the entire platform.• The Price Gap: Set cards are significantly more accessible, but does the low barrier to entry actually devalue the Pro experience?• Market Psychology: Does being able to pick up great players for pennies in Set make people less likely to drop big money on Pro scarcities?• The Convergence: Evidence that Sorare is testing these mechanics to eventually overhaul how we play Pro competitions.Is Sorare Set a "fun side quest" or a Trojan horse designed to replace the Pro game we know and love? If players can get the same dopamine hit for a fraction of the cost, what happens to the high-stakes Rare and Super Rare markets?Let's talk about it in the comments: Are you sticking with Pro, or has Set already taken over your weekend routine?

Will we actually talk about the utility of Limited cards, or just the utility of a good air fryer?We all know the drill: the stream starts with a lineup review and ends with a 20-minute debate on whether pineapple belongs on pizza or which gas station has the best snacks. Today, we're leaning into the chaos.Whether you're here for the Sorare strategy, the food reviews, or a deep dive into a topic we haven't even thought of yet, grab a seat. It's a choose-your-own-adventure livestream where the only guarantee is that we'll eventually get distracted.

The international break is finally over, and we are back to the club football we love! In today's stream, we're diving straight into the weekend action on Sorare. I'll be building out my Arena lineups and tackling a big strategy question: Is Arena still the most effective way to allocate Essence?We'll break down:• Lineup Builds: Setting my teams for the upcoming gameweek.• The Essence Debate: Should you be prioritizing Arena rewards, or is it time to shift focus back to All Star?• Market Thoughts: How the return of the major leagues impacts current card values.Support the ChannelJoin the Laird Social Club for exclusive insights and community challenges! https://patreon.com/andrewmlairdA big THANK YOU to our sponsors, MFL and Sport.Fun.

The MLS season is in full swing, but some of the league's biggest names haven't shown up yet. Are they just Dormant and waiting for a breakout, or are they officially Dust? @HarryTrades  joins me to break down the players who have been killing Sorare lineups. We're diving deep to decide if these are "Buy the Dip" opportunities or if it's time to cut bait before their floor completely falls out.In this episode:• The "Dormant" List: Top players underperforming who are primed for a massive bounce back.• The "Dust" Bin: Veterans and struggling stars whose Sorare utility might be gone for good.• MLS Market Strategy: How to play the early-season volatility.• Buy, Hold, or Sell?

Stellar Nights is here, and the Sorare community is divided. Is the new free-to-play mode just a fun side quest, or is it actually a more viable path for managers than traditional Sorare Pro? I'm joined by GatorGuy231 to break down the mechanics, the strategy, and the math behind Sorare's latest massive update.In this stream, we're diving into:• Stellar Nights vs. Sorare Pro: Can a F2P mode actually offer a better "grind" than the Pro ecosystem?• The Gem Economy: People are dropping serious cash on gems to fast-track their progress—is the ROI actually there?• The $1,000 Question: Is a $1K top prize in a free-to-play mode enough to lure veterans away from the market?• Stellar Strategy: How GatorGuy231 is approaching his lineups and whether you should pivot your focus this season.Whether you're a whale or a F2P grinder, you don't want to miss this deep dive into the future of Sorare.Join the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlairdBecome a Sorare manager today: https://sorare.pxf.io/WyLBnZ

The 3x Hot Streaks payouts are officially over, and the MLS landscape on Sorare has shifted. What does this mean for your gallery and your weekly strategy?I'm joined by  @HarryTrades  to break down the "New Normal" for MLS. We dive deep into whether the community will pivot back to leaderboard hunting, if we're about to see a sell-off of cards bought specifically for those boosted rewards, and the big question: Is the Grand Prix possibly worth targeting every single week?In this episode:• The Post-Boost Market: Will prices dip for MLS essentials?• Leaderboard vs. Efficiency: Where is the best ROI now?• Grand Prix Deep Dive: Strategy, variance, and long-term viability.• Harry's Top MLS Targets: Who stays and who goes?#Sorare #MLS #SorareMLS #NFTFantasy #Web3Gaming #HarryTrades #sorarestrategy

Nearly a year in, and the debate is heating up. I'm joined by NepentheZ to break down the highs and lows of the Sorare 26 era. We're diving deep into the impact of Hot Streaks, the grind of Leaderboards, and whether single-league competitions are the future of the platform.Plus, we look ahead: What does Sorare 27 need to do to keep the momentum going?In this episode:• The Verdict: Was Sorare 26 a win or a loss?• Mechanics: Why Hot Streaks and Leaderboards changed everything.• Strategy: Mastering Single-League play.• Wishlist: Our top predictions and hopes for Sorare 27.

Let's be honest: if we only played by the numbers, Sorare would just be homework with better graphics.In today's episode of the SorareAndrews Show, we're putting the spreadsheets away and celebrating the decisions we make purely for the vibes. Whether it's building a Mustache lineup, holding onto a club legend way too long , or entering a Weekly challenge just because you like the card art—this is your safe space.In this episode, we discuss:• The Emotional Portfolio: Why "Heart Buys" are just as important as "Value Buys"• Gallery Aesthetics: Collecting for the look, the badge, and the banter• The Joy of the Long Shot: Entering lineups where the only prize is (likely) pride• Community Vibe-Checks: Your best (and most irrational) Sorare decisionsStop worrying about the ROI for a bit and remember why we started collecting in the first place!

Sorare 26 made Arena a core pillar of the game. With the MLS season heating up, I've been focusing my scouting efforts on finding value in the American top flight. In this video, I take you behind the curtain to show you exactly how I prepare for each Game Week.What we cover in today's episode:• The Monday Routine: What I look for at the start of every cycle to get ahead of the market.• MLS Arena Deep Dive: A review of my recent entries—what worked, what failed, and the "why" behind the scores.• Strategy Viability: Assessing if the current Arena meta is sustainable for long-term rewards.• Universal Scouting Tips: How to take these MLS tactics and apply them to the Premier League, Bundesliga, and beyond.Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting your journey, this scouting guide will help you make more informed decisions before you hit that "Submit Lineup" button.

In today's episode of Sorare with Laird, I'm taking on my biggest challenge yet: convincing the one and only Harry Trades to jump into the K League on Sorare. With the brand-new K League Duo Mission just launched, there has never been a better time to team up.What is the K League Duo Mission?

In today's episode, Laird is joined by Harry Trades to discuss the "all-in" moments that separate the top finishers from the rest of the pack. With the MLS season heating up and managers chasing those elusive 3x hot streaks, we're breaking down the logic behind making drastic roster moves.In this episode, we cover:• The "Go For It" Signal: How to identify the exact moment to pivot your gallery for a maximum reward push• The MLS Meta: Analyzing current hot streaks and why following the crowd might (or might not) be your best play• Risk vs. Reward: The brutal reality of what happens when these big moves fail—and the opportunity cost of doing nothing.• Chasing the Top: Why winning the best prizes often requires uncomfortable decisionsWhether you're looking to climb the leaderboards or just want to understand the high-stakes psychology of top managers, this deep dive into aggressive Sorare play is for you.

The "quiet" periods of the sports calendar are often where the most important work happens. In today's Sport.Fun Strategy Show, Laird and psufans2 dive into how they are navigating the current lull in both European football and the NFL.While the headlines might be slow, the market never stops. We discuss our current blueprints for long-term growth, including:• Strategic Accumulation: Why now is the best time to stack shares of the players we believe in.• Reward Optimization: Our process for swapping out unwanted rewards to consolidate into high-conviction assets.• Portfolio Maintenance: How to stay disciplined when there isn't a "big game" on the horizon.Whether you're grinding through the football mid-season or prepping for the return of NFL, this episode is about staying ahead of the curve.Join Sport.Fun today: https://pro.sport.fun/login/?referral_code=UITMX28FXU9

The 2026 MLS season is officially in full swing, and if the first few weeks have taught us anything, it's that our pre-season "locks" might not be as safe as we thought.In today's Sorare with Laird, I'm joined by Harry Trades to separate the early-season noise from the genuine Sorare signals. We're digging in to see who is actually performing, who is just getting lucky, and which "must-have" assets are currently killing our lineups.In this stream, we discuss:• Pre-Season vs. Reality: Which teams or tactical setups have completely surprised us compared to our February outlook? We revisit our biggest predictions to see what's holding up and what's falling apart.• The Stock Risers: Early breakout stars who are defying expectations—is this elite production sustainable for Sorare, or is it time to sell the hype before the regression hits?• The Underperformers: Breaking down the slow starts from the league's big names. Are we buying the dip on these struggling stars, or is there a deeper tactical issue we should be worried about?• New Arrivals Report Card: How are the high-profile winter signings fitting into their new systems and impacting the Sorare scoring matrix so far?• Tournament Strategy Shift: How the early results may force us to pivot our approach to the MLS Hot Streaks and weekly Leaderboard competitions.Whether you're looking to snap up some value on the secondary market or deciding who to bench for the upcoming Game Week, this is the deep dive you need.Connect with Harry Trades:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HarryTradesX (Twitter): https://x.com/harrytradesYTSupport the Show:Join the Community: https://patreon.com/andrewmlairdFollow Laird on X: @andrewmlaird#Sorare #MLS #FantasyMLS #SorareStrategy #MLS2026 #HarryTrades #Lairdinho #NFTFantasy #Web3Gaming

This week's SorareAndrews starts with the topic everyone has been talking about lately: cheating on Sorare.After the recent controversy on the platform, it raised a lot of questions about how people try to gain an edge — from multi-accounting to lineup coordination and other gray areas that pop up in competitive games.So today we're doing something a little different.We're breaking down the “best ways to cheat on Sorare”… in a very tongue-in-cheek way.Along the way we'll talk about:• The recent scandal and what actually happened• The types of behavior people think are cheating vs what actually breaks the rules• Why competitive advantage always pushes the boundaries in fantasy games• What Sorare could potentially do to prevent it• And why most people are better off just trying to build smarter lineupsAs always, the goal is to understand the ecosystem better — and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.Want to support the content?

The K League season is underway on Sorare, and I've decided to jump into In-Season Rare competitions. In this stream, I'll explain why I think the setup makes sense strategically, how the prize pools compare to other leagues, and what I'm hoping to accomplish by playing K League Rare this season.We'll also open up my K League Early Access cards to see if any special editions show up!If you're considering playing K League on Sorare this year, this stream should give you a good idea of how I'm approaching the competitions and what I'm hoping to achieve.Join the live chat and let me know: Are you playing K League this season?

It starts with one idea.A new card I “need.”A competition I “should” try.A format I “might” be missing out on.And suddenly I'm down a rabbit hole.In today's Sorare with Laird, I'm breaking down the ways I've been wasting time on Sorare lately — from chasing new card concepts, to testing new competition entries, to convincing myself certain pivots are “fun experiments.”But here's the real question:Is it actually wasted time… or is this part of what makes Sorare worth playing?We'll talk about:• The mental pull of new competitions• The temptation to expand into “just one more” league• When experimentation becomes distraction• How to balance ROI thinking with having funIf you've ever restructured your gallery for the fifth time in a month… this one's for you.

Sorare keeps adding new competitions — Hot Streaks, Arena, Classic, In-Season, region-specific leaderboards, scarcity splits — and it's starting to feel… confusing.In today's SorareAndrews, we're breaking down:• Why lineup selection feels harder than ever• Whether more competitions actually means more opportunity• If the UI is keeping up with the gameplay changes• How managers can simplify their approach• Whether this is a short-term adjustment… or a long-term problemThere's a ton of action on the platform right now — MLS, Europe, J League, K League, rotating specials — but at what point does “more options” turn into “too much to manage”?

MLS is here… and I think I just came up with a new way to attack it.In today's Sorare with Laird, I'm diving into Major League Soccer — but not in the way most managers are approaching it. I'm not blowing up my gallery. I'm not chasing every shiny in-season card. And I'm definitely not pretending budget doesn't matter.Instead, I'm testing something different.Is it smart?Is it reckless?Is it actually +EV long-term?I honestly don't know yet — but that's part of the fun.We'll talk about:• Why MLS is tempting right now• The risk/reward profile compared to Europe• What makes MLS uniquely attackable (or dangerous)• How I'm thinking about cost control while still trying to competeAnd yes… I'll explain why this might actually be a dumb idea.Didn't catch this live?

Variance? Smart leverage?

Most people want to own the best players on Sport.Fun.But what happens when everyone owns them?In this week's Sport.Fun Strategy Show, Laird and psufans2 break down:• What “active shares” actually mean• Why share concentration impacts Tournament Points (TP)• How popular players can dilute your upside• When it still makes sense to own the chalk• Where real leverage might existIf your goal is maximizing Tournament Points — not just holding the biggest names — you need to understand how supply and active ownership shape the game.Owning elite players is easy.Owning them when others don't is the edge.Join Sport.Fun today: https://pro.sport.fun/login/?referral_code=UITMX28FXU9

Bundesliga has been working. Contender has shown flashes.But Challenger and Ligue 1? It's been a grind.In today's Sorare with Laird, I'm asking a serious question: Should I sell some of my in-season cards to improve the teams that are actually performing?We'll break down:• My Bundesliga success and what's driving it• Why Challenger and Ligue 1 haven't clicked• Whether reallocating capital makes sense• The opportunity cost of holding underperforming stacks• Short-term cash vs. long-term ceiling• How this impacts hot streak potential and ROIThis isn't about rage quitting. It's about portfolio optimization.If you've ever looked at your gallery and wondered whether you're spreading yourself too thin, this one's for you.

Are Limited competitions actually the best place to play on Sorare?Today on Sorare with Laird,  @HarryTrades  joins me to break down whether many Limited managers would be better off playing Rare instead.We'll cover:

The Sport.Fun NFL offseason is here; could it be the biggest opportunity of the year?On this week's Sport.Fun Strategy Show, psufans2 and Laird break down how you can realistically grow your player share portfolio by doing… absolutely nothing.As others rotate out of NFL, shift capital into football, or move into the $FUN token, share prices fluctuate. That movement can create accumulation opportunities — but at what cost?We discuss:• Why off-season volatility may benefit passive managers• Whether current share prices actually look attractive• The risk of further downside before any rebound• How capital rotation affects long-term portfolio growth• Whether “doing nothing” is a strategy — or just hopeIs this a smart way to build for the next season… or are we just catching falling knives?Join Sport.Fun today: https://pro.sport.fun/login/?referral_code=UITMX28FXU9Note: nothing in this video should be considered financial advice.

MLS is back on Sorare, but what's the actual goal?Is it enough to win a competition one time and call it a success? Or does a sustainable MLS strategy require consistent rewards, hot streaks, and long-term ROI?In today's SorareAndrews, we're breaking down:• The math behind a “one big win” strategy• How MLS prize pools and streaks impact decision-making• Whether variance can carry you• What type of manager this approach actually fits• How we're thinking about our own MLS buildsAre you building for one spike or steady profit?Let's talk through it.

Today I'm making a shift.Instead of just thinking about gameweeks and ROI, I'm starting to think about Sorare as a collector.In this stream we'll look at:• The Michael Olise Ballon d'Or special edition• The Jude Bellingham Golden Boy card• Why certain awards and milestones matter long-term• How I'm thinking about narrative value vs. utility• What makes a Sorare card truly collectibleThis isn't about projections.It's about owning pieces of football history.Let's talk collecting.Support the content by becoming a Laird Social Club member: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

Sorare's Valentine's Special Event for GW53 is here: Cap 280, one lineup, all-season cards eligible, and a completely tweaked scoring matrix built around chemistry and teamwork.Pass-heavy players get boosted. Fouls and yellows get punished. One lineup. One shot. Scarcity leaderboards. Multi-club bonus activated.And a lot of people are upset about the rewards.But here's the real question:Are you evaluating competitions the right way?In today's stream, I'm breaking down:• Why this format is more strategic than it looks• How the scoring tweaks change optimal roster construction• What Cap 280 does to lineup builds• Why some managers immediately dismissed this event• And what that reaction says about how they think about SorareThis isn't about roses and romance.It's about whether you're playing short-term… or building correctly.Live chat will be open — bring your takes.Don't forget to like and subscribe!

MLS is back on Sorare, and with it comes a fresh set of decisions around how — and how much — to play the league this season.I'm joined by Harry Trades, GatorGuy231, and SorareDeke to preview MLS on Sorare, including:• What the return of MLS means for the platform right now• How early auctions and supply shape the market heading into the season• How prize pools, leaderboards, and Hot Streaks should influence strategy• Differences in approach across Limited, Rare, and Super Rare• What we're prioritizing (and avoiding) as the season kicks offWhether you're an MLS regular or deciding if this is the year to dive in, this stream is all about setting expectations and approaching MLS with a clear plan.

The NFL season is officially over, so what happens next on Sport.Fun?On this episode of SDF with Laird, I'm joined by psufans2 to break down what the post-Super Bowl landscape looks like across the platform. We dig into the biggest question on everyone's mind: where does the money go now?We'll discuss:• Will capital stay parked in NFL.Fun, even with no games being played?• Does liquidity rotate into Football.Fun as football ⚽️ takes center stage?• Can the $FUN token be the real beneficiary of the NFL offseason?• Or do users simply pull money off the platform entirely?If you're holding NFL shares, considering reallocating to football, or trying to understand the broader Sport.Fun economy, this is a must-watch conversation.

I've never worked for Sorare...but I've also never actively tried to.That's not an accident.In this live stream, I'm explaining why I continue to create content about Web3 platforms, including Sorare, instead of trying to work for them.We'll talk about:• Why independence matters when covering evolving Web3 games• The difference between being a creator, a partner, and an employee• How incentives change when you work inside a platform• Why I believe creators add more value staying external• What this means for trust, criticism, and long-term sustainabilityThis isn't a criticism of Sorare or any other platform, it's about how I think creators can best serve their audience in Web3.If you create content, or consume a lot of it, this conversation applies far beyond Sorare.Support the content by becoming a member of the Laird Social Club or the Sorare with Laird channel: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

What is the best scarcity on Sorare: Limited, Rare, Super Rare, Unique, or Set?In today's SorareAndrews, we'll break down the real pros and cons of every scarcity on the platform. This isn't about hype or flex value, it's about:• Cost vs. upside• Competition depth• Prize pools and payout structures• Time commitment• Stress, variance, and expectationsWhether you're just starting out, scaling up, or reconsidering where you're allocating your budget, this conversation is about finding the right scarcity for you, not chasing what works for someone else.

On today's Sorare with Laird, Harry Trades and I dig into a stretch of recent activity on Sorare that might signal something important: prices going...up?We'll break down notable transactions, discuss what they actually mean (and what they don't), and talk through whether this is just short-term noise or the early signs of a healthier market environment. From pricing behavior to buyer confidence, we're looking at the data and the vibes to see if Sorare is quietly finding its footing again.Support our content by becoming a member of our communities.Harry's YouTube Community

On this episode of the Sport.Fun Strategy Show, Laird and psufans2 break down the biggest strategic questions heading into the Super Bowl and beyond.We'll cover:

Sorare Set is here, and a lot of managers are diving in.I'm not...and in this stream, I explain why.This isn't a rant and it's not a verdict on Set as a product. It's a personal decision based on time, incentives, priorities, and how I currently play Sorare. I'll walk through what Set does well, what questions I still have, and why—at least for now—I'm choosing to sit this one out.If you're deciding whether Sets fits into your Sorare routine, this should help you think through that choice more clearly.As always, I'm interested in hearing how others are approaching it—whether you're all-in, cautiously experimenting, or also taking a pass.

Sorare today is nothing like the game many of us originally signed up for. The economy has changed, the gameplay has evolved, and a lot of OG managers are no longer around.So why are we still here?In this episode of SorareAndrews, we talk honestly about what's changed, what's been lost, and what—if anything—still keeps us logging in, setting lineups, and caring.

Sorare appears to be in a quieter stretch of the season, and for many managers that can lead to something more impactful than losses: boredom.With limited opportunities to enter new competitions due to low card supply, uncertainty around what's coming next for the World Cup, and the idea of resetting strategies in January or February feeling less appealing than usual, engagement can naturally dip.In today's live stream, we'll discuss:• Why this phase can feel stagnant even if the game itself hasn't fundamentally changed• How boredom affects decision-making, motivation, and long-term planning• Whether these quieter periods are a normal part of Sorare's cycle• And if this moment encourages managers to look at other games alongside SorareThis isn't about criticizing the platform, it's about recognizing the risks of disengagement and thinking through how managers can navigate this stretch productively.Join the live discussion and share how you're approaching Sorare right now.

The launch of Sorare Set has reopened a question some Sorare managers are quietly asking:What if Sorare was only free-to-play?For established Sorare Pro managers, Set feels like an addition. But if we were brand new to Sorare today, would Set be enough? Would we ever feel the need to move beyond free-to-play?In this episode of SorareAndrews, we discuss:• Whether Set actually lowers the barrier to entry or creates a parallel game• How progression, rewards, and motivation differ between Set and Pro• If free-to-play can deliver long-term engagement without ownership• Whether Sorare needs paid competition to remain compellingSupport the content by becoming a member of the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird
