The road to Sorare 27 is officially here, but a major question mark is hanging over the market: Will the platform's biggest spenders actually buy in again? In today's episode of Sorare with Laird, I'm joined by  @HarryTrades  to tackle the reality that many high-volume, high-spend managers are considering pulling back their budgets for the upcoming 2026/27 transition.

The Sorare26 season is wrapping up, and I'm sitting on a mountain of Essence: 21k Limited, 20k Rare, and 3k Super Rare. The big question is: do we craft everything now and hunt for those final 2026 rewards, or let it convert down to Sorare27 Essence?In this video, I break down:• The Math: How much value do you actually lose during the season conversion?• The Market: Why 2027 cards will be worth more (and why that matters).• My Strategy: Should I burn my Super Rare essences but holding my Limiteds.• Should you try for a STAR today or wait for next season?

Sorare just dropped a massive blog post that fundamentally changes how we'll be using our Essence! From a complete overhaul of Player Tiers (bringing the Sorare Set logic to Pro) to a brand-new Scarcity-Specific Clue system, there is a lot to digest before the update goes live on Wednesday, May 13th. In this stream, we're breaking down:• The New 5-Tier Hierarchy: No more T0-T5 confusion. We're moving to Reserve, Roster, Key, Star, and Icon. We discuss the automated "minutes played" requirements and why handpicked Icons change the game.• Star & Icon Merging: Why Icons and Stars are being grouped together in the crafting pools and what that means for your "Highest Tier" clues.• Updated Odds & Special Draws: We analyze the new probability tables. With "Special Star" and "Full Key" draws in the mix, is crafting finally getting the buff we've been asking for?• Clue Conversion: Your current clues are changing! We explain how the new scarcity-specific system works and how to use the conversion tool to make sure your Limited clues don't accidentally become Rare (or vice-versa).• Sorare 27 Prep: Essence is converting, clues are staying, and the European season is ending. We talk strategy on whether to craft now or stack for the next generation.Are these changes a win for the community, or does the daily-updated tiering make things too volatile?

In today's episode, Laird sits down with Harry Trades to tackle the elephant in the room: Is the "What If...?" question officially gone from Sorare?For years, the community has been fueled by a single hope: what if Sorare goes mainstream and our early cards become digital gold? Many managers are still holding onto collections that are worth a fraction of their peak prices, waiting for that one massive "explosion" in value.But as the platform evolves, the math is changing. We dive deep into why the "What If" era might be over, focusing on:• The In-Season Shift: How the transition to cash rewards and mandatory In-Season cards has effectively "devalued" the long-term utility of older collections.• The Sorare Set Paradox: We discuss the addition of non-tradable cards. If you can't sell them, is Sorare still a "collectible investment" or just a subscription-based fantasy game?• The Mainstream Reality: If Sorare finally hits the mass market, will it actually benefit the early adopters, or has the new game-play structure capped the potential upside of "Legacy" cards?• The Psychology of the Bag-Holder: Why so many managers find it impossible to let go of the "What If" dream, even when the data suggests otherwise.Has the game has moved from speculating on the future to performing in the present?Whether you're a whale from the early days or a new manager trying to navigate the 2026 landscape, this conversation is a reality check on the current state of digital football collectibles.Support the content by joining the Laird Social Club on Patreon: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird⚽️ Become a Sorare manager today: https://sorare.pxf.io/WyLBnZ

How do you sustain a full-time career in the ever-changing world of digital content?

Is it time to separate the "grind" from the "glory"?Today, I'm putting forward a new proposal for the future of the platform: removing Hot Streaks from Sorare Pro. While streaks have become a staple of the weekly routine, there is a strong case to be made for moving them elsewhere and letting the Pro division return to what it does best—pure, unfiltered PvP competition.Instead of balancing leaderboard prizes against milestone streaks, why not let Pro be strictly about where you finish against other managers? I'm breaking down why this change might be the key to making the leaderboard experience more rewarding and the game's structure much cleaner.We'll Discuss:• Pro vs. Set: Why Hot Streaks might actually belong in Sorare Set rather than the Pro division.• The PvP Focus: Making the Pro experience strictly about the leaderboard race.• Streamlining Rewards: How removing the "streak" mechanic simplifies the path to podium prizes.• The Economic Case: Would a "Leaderboard Only" Pro model be healthier for the long-term value of your cards?The goal isn't to get rid of the fun—it's to make sure the competition is as sharp as possible.Do you think Sorare Pro would be better if we focused entirely on the leaderboard? Let's discuss in the comments.

Is it time to pivot your entire Sorare strategy?In today's second episode, I'm joined by Alistair from  @soraredownunder  to tackle one of the most debated topics in the community right now: the shift from Sorare Pro to Sorare Set.As the ecosystem evolves, many managers are questioning if the traditional Pro grind is still the most effective way to play, or if the mechanics of Set offers a more sustainable and rewarding experience. If a significant portion of the player base begins to favor Set, the implications for the secondary market and overall gameplay are massive.In this stream, we discuss:• The Pro vs. Set Debate: Why managers are considering giving up on Pro entirely.• Convergence: Can Sorare successfully integrate Set benefits into the Pro experience?• The Balancing Act: Is it viable (or even possible) to compete at a high level in both formats?• Market Impact: What happens to card utility if the community shifts its focus?Whether you are a seasoned whale or a casual manager, this conversation covers the potential future of the platform and how you might need to adjust your gallery for what's coming next.Support the content by joining the Laird Social Club on Patreon: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird⚽️ Become a Sorare manager today: https://sorare.pxf.io/WyLBnZ

I sat down today ready to air some grievances about the end-of-season grind, but honestly? Maybe it's just not worth the energy.The European season is gasping its final breaths, winning in-season cards feels like winning a gift card that expires in ten minutes, and crafting is… well, it's a choice. But instead of just a venting session, let's talk about how we're actually spending our time (and lineups) right now.On the agenda for today's stream:• The Complaint Pivot: Why the current "dead zone" isn't worth getting stressed over.• Low Stakes, High Chill: How I'm handling my galleries until the July reset.• The Next Season Dilemma: How to prep when the cards you actually need aren't even minted yet.• Community Check-in: What are YOU doing?

Is Sorare moving away from "lifetime utility?" In today's episode, we're tackling the psychological and financial divide between failure and delayed success in the Sorare 26 ecosystem. With the current structure heavily favoring In-Season competitions, many managers feel their cards now have a "best by" date rather than the perpetual utility once promised.I take a hard look at my own journey and the ROI timelines across three specific fronts: Bundesliga Limited, Ligue 1 Limited, and Ligue 1 Super Rare.We'll discuss how the In-Season meta has fundamentally changed the traditional ROI model and how you could adjust your scouting and buying strategies to avoid holding "expired" assets.In this episode, we cover:• The In-Season Clock: Why cards feel like they have an expiration date.• ROI Timelines: Comparing Limited vs. Super Rare recovery periods in 2026.• Scouting for Longevity: Can you still find "lifetime" value in a seasonal game?• Lessons from the Gallery: My personal wins and losses in the German and French markets.Support the content by joining the Laird Social Club on Patreon: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird⚽️ Become a Sorare manager today: https://sorare.pxf.io/WyLBnZ

We are back with Part 2 of our deep dive into the future of the platform! This week, Laird and  @HarryTrades  shift the focus toward the most controversial aspect of the Sorare 27 transition: the possible structural overhaul of the competitions we know and love.As Sorare moves toward a stricter separation between Leaderboards (PvP) and Hot Streaks (PvE), the community is bracing for more than just a UI update. We discuss the reality that some of your favorite "go-to" competitions might be changed, replaced, or removed entirely to make room for this new era of gameplay.In this episode, we cover:• The Competition Cull: Discussing which staple competitions are at risk and why Sorare is looking to "trim the fat" for the 2026/27 season.• The Strategic Split: The move to separate Leaderboards from Streaks—why you can no longer "double dip" with a single lineup.• Additive Rewards: How the new system incentivizes building deep galleries rather than focusing on a single top-tier squad.• Adapting or Exiting: How to pivot your strategy if your favorite niche competition faces significant changes...or elimination• Market Ripple Effects: What happens to card values when the "utility" of certain scarcities or leagues is fundamentally reshaped?The roadmap to Sorare 27 is becoming clearer, but it requires a total rethink of how we play the game.

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

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.

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?
