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!

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

One year ago (tomorrow), I took the leap and went full-time as a content creator. It's been an incredible, challenging, and eye-opening journey. From my roots in Sorare to expanding into MFL and Sport.Fun, the mission has always been about building a community that lasts.In today's stream, I'm sharing the unfiltered experience of building the Laird Social Club. We'll talk about why I started the Patreon, the reality of managing multiple game ecosystems, and the honest highs and lows of being my own boss.

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?

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 2026 K League season is here, and we're breaking down EVERYTHING you need to know before locking in your Sorare lineups.Joined by Simon (SorareFCSeoul), 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. Is it habit? Community? Hope? Or is there still something genuinely compelling about Sorare in 2026?

Sorare just dropped Winter Update #2, and there's a lot to unpack.In today's Sorare with Laird, I'm joined by  @HarryTrades  as we react live to the latest gameplay changes, including updated mechanics, structural tweaks, and the long-awaited reveal of MLS, J League and K League details. We'll break down what's actually changing, what it means for different types of managers, and which updates matter now versus later.This isn't a polished breakdown, it's real-time reactions, questions, concerns, and early takeaways as we digest the update together with the community.Whether you're focused on Pro competitions or just trying to understand where Sorare is heading this winter, this stream is all about first impressions and honest discussion.Join the Harry Trades YouTube community: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8HSj8vZDHSGmk5yP46SjtQ/membershipBecome a member of the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

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

Sorare Set was announced yesterday—and the reactions across the Sorare Pro community have been immediate and wide-ranging.In today's Sorare with Laird, I'm joined by Harry Trades to break down what experienced Sorare managers are actually saying about Set after the announcement. We'll focus less on the feature list and more on the sentiment: excitement, skepticism, concerns, and where this could fit (or not fit) into the broader Sorare ecosystem.Topics include:• Initial reactions from Pro managers and long-time players• What people like about Sorare Set—and what they're unsure about• How Set fits alongside Pro competitions, Hot Streaks, and collections• Whether this feels like a meaningful addition or a parallel experience• The big questions managers are asking going forwardThis is a conversation grounded in community feedback, not theory, drawing directly from what we're seeing in our Discords, DMs, and comment sections since the announcement.Let us know in the chat what you think about Sorare Set and how you see it fitting into your Sorare experience.

“Pay-to-win” is one of the most loaded phrases in gaming, and it comes up constantly in conversations about Sorare.In this episode of SorareAndrews, we'll take a step back and look at what pay-to-win actually means within the context of Sorare's ecosystem. We'll talk about how spending, scarcity, XP, and collections interact with competitive results, why perceptions around fairness matter just as much as mechanics, and how player expectations have evolved over time as the platform has grown.This isn't about complaining, defending, or offering simple answers. It's about understanding how incentives shape behavior, why certain narratives persist within the community, and how those narratives affect how people experience the game, whether they're new managers, long-time grinders, or high-stakes competitors.

The $FUN token is live...so what does that actually mean for Sport.Fun?In this episode of SDF with Laird, I'm joined by psufans2 to break down the launch of the $FUN token, where the NFL and football markets currently stand, and what we're watching closely in the short and medium term for the platform.We'll cover:• What the $FUN launch changes (and what it doesn't)• How NFL and football markets compare right now• Liquidity, engagement, and where opportunity might be forming• What needs to go right next for Sport.Fun to keep growing• Why fun actually matters more than people think in these marketsThis is part market check-in, part forward-looking conversation — and very much about understanding where Sport.Fun is heading from here.If you're playing, considering playing, or just trying to figure out the ecosystem, this one's for you.Subscribe for more Sport.Fun coverage and daily discussions.And join Sport.Fun here: https://pro.sport.fun/login/?referral_code=UITMX28FXU9

Is the Premier League actually the best league to play on Sorare—or is it the most punishing?In today's Sorare with Laird, joined by Harry Trades, we break down the Premier League from a Sorare perspective. We'll discuss whether its massive popularity and card depth make it attractive, or whether those same factors turn it into one of the hardest leagues to win in.Topics include:• League depth and overall parity• Why Premier League cards are so popular (and expensive)• How that popularity impacts leaderboard payouts• Why hot streaks may be harder to achieve compared to other leagues• Whether the Premier League is actually a good strategic choice for most managersIf you play Premier League cards on Sorare—or are thinking about buying in—this is a conversation worth watching.Become a Sorare manager today: https://sorare.pxf.io/WyLBnZJoin the Harry Trades YouTube Community here

Sorare just released a survey outlining several potential solutions to the DNP problem — players who don't play due to injury, rotation, or late scratches.On the surface, some of these ideas look reasonable. But only one of them even begins to address the real issue with DNPs.The real problem isn't fairness.It isn't optimization.It isn't even results.The real problem is engagement.Once a lineup has a DNP, most managers mentally check out. There's no suspense. No sweat. No reason to watch matches or follow scores because the outcome feels predetermined.In this stream, I'll break down:• Why most DNP solutions miss the core issue entirely• Why “competitive integrity” alone doesn't fix disengagement• How DNPs actively remove the fun from the experienceDo you have any solutions? Leave a comment below to discuss them further!

Sorare looks very different today than it did in the early days, and that raises an interesting question: could the original version of Sorare have actually survived?In today's SorareAndrews, we go back to the OG Sorare era and break down what worked, what didn't, and why change may have been inevitable. We'll talk about supply, incentives, user growth, sustainability, and whether the original model could have scaled long-term without major structural changes.

If you had money to deploy on SDF, where would you put it: football or America football?On today's SDF with Laird, I'm joined by Palmer to break down the top plays across both sports, comparing upside, volatility, and payout potentials. Rather than just listing picks, we frame this as a capital allocation problem:• Where is the best value right now?• Which sport offers more asymmetric upside?• How contest structure, player pricing, and field behavior change the calculusIf you're deciding where to focus your bankroll, or just want to understand how we think about risk vs. reward across sports, this episode is for you.Not financial advice. Entertainment and analysis purposes only.

In today's SDF with Laird, I explain why SDF is different, and not just in one way. We'll break it down across three angles: • Why SDF is different in crypto: real ideas, real incentives, real revenue• Why SDF is different in web3: actual transparency, strong focus on actual gameplay and user experience • Why SDF is different in fantasy sports: ownership without lineups, less DNP stress, and a system built around enjoyment If you've bounced off crypto projects, web3 games, or traditional fantasy sports before, this episode explains why SDF might finally feel right.Join SDF today: https://pro.sport.fun/login/?referral_code=UITMX28FXU9Disclaimer: This show is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not financial advice.

The second half of the Sorare season is nothing like the first, and that's going to change how everyone plays.In today's Sorare with Laird, I'm joined by Harry Trades to break down why the dynamics of the game shift so dramatically after the midpoint of the season, especially in Rare and Super Rare competitions.We'll discuss:• Why there are fewer cards available on the market as the season goes on• How XP gains and collection bonuses make existing cards significantly more powerful• Why lineup strength starts to matter more than raw spending• How this impacts buying, selling, and roster construction in the second half• What managers should be doing now to prepare for what's comingIf your early season strategy relied on easy upgrades and plentiful supply, the back half of the season can be a wake-up call. This stream is about understanding that shift and adapting before you fall behind.Join Harry's YouTube Community: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8HSj8vZDHSGmk5yP46SjtQ/membershipBecome a Laird Social Club Member: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

At what point does the current scarcity system stop working?On today's Sorare with Laird, I break down when Sorare may be forced to introduce a new card scarcity—and why that moment might be closer than many people think. We'll talk through supply growth, user expansion, lineup congestion, threshold pressure, and how each existing scarcity tier functions as the ecosystem scales.This isn't about predicting an announcement—it's about understanding the structural signals that would make a new scarcity inevitable, and what that could mean for collectors, competitors, and long-term strategy.

In this episode of SorareAndrews, we ask an uncomfortable question: are we fake collectors?Sorare is built on NFTs, ownership, and collecting, but most of the time, our decisions are driven by incentives, bonuses, competitions, and short-term utility. Collection rewards, thresholds, XP boosts, and promo mechanics often matter more than whether a card is actually collectible in any meaningful way.We'll talk about:• Why “collecting” on Sorare often means optimizing incentives• How rewards and mechanics shape behavior more than passion• Whether Sorare NFTs are treated as collectibles or just tools• The disconnect between NFT ownership and emotional attachment• What real collecting could look like in the Sorare ecosystemThis isn't about blaming players, it's about examining how the game nudges us to behave, and whether that lines up with the idea of NFTs as true collectibles.Join the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird

Sorare has started rolling out its Winter updates, and while it's only the first step, it already raises bigger questions about what comes next.In today's Sorare with Laird, I'm joined by Harry Trades to talk through what we actually want to see in Sorare 27: from gameplay depth and progression systems to rewards, competition structure, and long-term engagement.This isn't a reaction stream just to complain or praise. It's a forward-looking discussion about where Sorare should be heading next, what's missing right now, and which changes would meaningfully improve the experience for committed managers.

Sorare just made a big announcement: its platform is now open to builders.On today's stream, I'll break down what “open Sorare” actually means in practice, not just the marketing language. We'll talk about:• What Sorare opening its API and Solana stack enables• The types of tools, games, and products Sorare is encouraging• How this could impact third-party tools, analytics, and scouting• What it means for managers, collectors, and the broader Sorare ecosystem• The opportunities and the risks of a more open platformThis could be a major inflection point for Sorare, depending on how it's executed. Let's dig into it.

In today's episode of SorareAndrews, we're doing a full evaluation of the Sorare third-party ecosystem. We'll walk through the tools we think should exist, the features we wish existed, and the ones we're not even sure are out there yet. That's where we'll need the audience: tell us what you use, what we're missing, and what actually moves the needle for you.Then we'll jump into several third-party platforms live and assess whether they're genuinely helpful, overrated, under-developed, or essential for better decision-making. If you've ever wondered which tools are worth your time—or which features Sorare players desperately need—this is the episode for you.

On today's Sorare with Laird, Harry Trades joins me for a deep dive into one of the biggest questions in the game:Can you actually get rich playing Sorare?We'll break down:• Whether trading or playing has more long-term ROI upside• What kind of financial outlay realistically sets you up for success• The difference between grinding rewards and flipping opportunities• How risk tolerance, game selection, and timing shape outcomes• Why some managers scale quickly while others hit a ceilingIf you're trying to understand the true profit potential of Sorare, or simply want to make smarter decisions with your gallery, this stream should help bring clarity.As always, none of this is financial advice.
