SorareData Podcast

I play games for a living. Sorare, MFL, Football.Fun — they're fun, they're competitive, and they're the foundation of my content. But that also means the line between “I'm playing for fun” and “I'm working on content” gets blurry… a lot.In today's Laird Social Club stream, I'm talking about that balance:• When does playing a game start to feel like work?• When does work start to feel like play?• Is it possible to keep both fun and productive?• And how do I manage it when content creation, strategy, competition, and income all overlap?It's a conversation about the creator lifestyle, the Web3 fantasy ecosystem, and what it means to turn your hobbies into your job.Join the discussion live — and tell me where you draw the line.

What if Sorare went completely off the rails… and introduced food cards?In today's SorareAndrews, we dive into the thought experiment: what would Sorare look like if you could collect, trade, and compete with FOOD?We'll have some laughs, mock up a few cards, and break down:

This stream was live exclusively for members of the Laird Social Club and Harry Trades' YouTube channel. We dove into the players, teams, competitions, and scarcities that have recently caught our attention, and what we're keeping an eye on next.Join the discussion, share your own scouting insights, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how we're preparing for upcoming Sorare gameweeks.

In this week's Laird Social Club live stream, I'm breaking down my favorite Web3 sports games, Sorare, MFL (Metaverse Football League), and Football.Fun, and explaining what I love about each one.We'll talk about:

What happens when Sorare run out of cards for the season?In today's SorareAndrews, we discuss what it really means when Sorare sells out their allotment of cards — how it impacts the market, collections, and gameplay — and what managers might do next.We'll dive into:• Why Sorare limits card supply each season• What “sellout” means for Limited, Rare, and Super Rare cards• How scarcity could affect market prices and rewards• Whether Sorare should reprint cards or adjust competitions

In this members-only edition of Sorare with Laird, Harry Trades and I dig into one of the biggest strategy questions in Sorare Hot Streaks: are team stacks actually the best way to win?We'll break down the pros and cons of stacking players from the same club, how lineup correlation works in Hot Streaks, and whether diversity or focus leads to more consistent rewards.

I'm joined by Mike Zakarian from  @NBABIT  to talk all things SorareNBA 26: the new season, gameplay changes, and especially Quick Play, which might finally be the feature that gets me hooked again.We'll break down:• What's new in SorareNBA 26• How Quick Play works and why it's different• Whether SorareNBA can recapture the fun for returning playersMike will try to convince me to jump back in — and maybe he'll convince you too.

Can artificial intelligence actually make us better Sorare managers?This week, Laird and Black dive into how AI tools can help us build smarter lineups, make better decisions, and avoid the same old mistakes. From projections and data models to player selection and contest strategy, we explore whether AI can really give us an edge… or if it just adds to the noise.

In this episode of Sorare with Laird, I'm joined by GatorGuy231 to break down what Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) can teach us about Sorare's new Hot Streaks competition.We'll talk about:

Harry Trades and I bring back one of our favorite formats — What Would You Do?In this members-only episode, we dive into your Sorare questions: gallery management, lineup strategy, and long-term planning. Whether it's deciding when to sell a hot card, building around a new collection, or shifting your focus between competitions, we'll break down how we'd approach it — and why.

Between Sorare, MFL, and Football.Fun, it feels like there's always something to do, but we only have so much time to play.In today's Laird Social Club live stream, I'll talk about how I decide where to spend my time, what keeps each game fun, and how to avoid burnout while still staying competitive.

Sorare just dropped Halloween Edition cards...and new competitions that require them. Is this the start of a new Sorare era where special editions become essential to compete?In this episode, I break down what these new cards mean for player budgets, collections, and strategy going forward.

When you're on a Sorare hot streak, every lineup and every threshold matters. One small mistake can be the difference between another reward and a wasted gameweek.In this episode of Sorare with Laird, Ryan Walter and I go over simple but costly mistakes that can break your momentum — and how to avoid them. We cover:⚽ Why hot streaks are more valuable than ever

Sorare has come a long way integrating features that used to make SorareData essential — but some tools are still missing. In today's Sorare with Laird, Harry Trades and I break down the features we still wish existed, what we've adapted to, and how our Sorare experience has changed since the transition.What features do you wish were still around? Let us know in the comments or live chat!

Sorare content isn't necessarily getting better or worse — it's just changing.Early on, it was all about discovery: finding underpriced players, building galleries, chasing rewards.Now, most experienced managers already have what they need, and that changes what's interesting to talk about.In this episode of Sorare with Laird, I take a closer look at how Sorare content is changing, why it feels harder to keep it fresh, and what kind of stories actually make sense to tell today.We'll discuss:• Why scouting and gallery-building aren't the center of Sorare content anymore• How the audience's relationship with the game has matured• The gap between what creators want to say and what people want to hear• Whether the next phase of Sorare content will come from creators, players, or Sorare itself

It's time to embrace the madness!In this episode of SorareAndrews, Laird and Black dive into your wildest, craziest, most degen Sorare strategies — and rate just how deep into the degeneracy you've gone

We're a few months into Sorare 26, and it's time to admit it — we got some things wrong.On today's Sorare with Laird, Harry Trades joins me to look back at our preseason expectations: the players, divisions, and strategies that didn't go as planned, and what we've learned so far.From Hot Streaks and crafting to market swings and lineup construction, we'll break down what surprised us most and what it means for the rest of the Sorare 26 season.

We all say we're done spending... and then we buy another card. In this episode of SorareAndrews, Laird and Black dig into why they keep spending on Sorare — from chasing rewards and upgrades to the constant pursuit of improvement.They discuss the psychology behind collecting, the urge to compete at higher levels, and whether there's ever truly a point where we stop buying more cards.

From scouting players and building collections to connecting with other fans, the platform blends competition, community, and collecting in a way no other game does.In today's Sorare with Laird live stream, we'll talk about why Sorare means so much more than lineups and rewards — and why the community is what truly makes it special.Join Sorare and get up to $150 in market credits (terms and conditions apply): https://sorare.pxf.io/WyLBnZ(Affiliate disclosure: This stream includes Sorare affiliate links, and I may earn a commission if you sign up using them.

Today's SorareAndrews topic was supposed to be about whether it's smarter to expand their collections to cover more competitions or to double down and upgrade the cards they already have. But instead, a classic SorareAndrews stream broke out where they discussed prison cooking, reality shows, fashion, how to fix youth sports in America, and so much more.

I'm joined by Mathurin Blouin, CEO of the Metaverse Football League (MFL), to break down the brand-new Trial Clubs feature.

Sorare's Hot Streaks promos are over — no more double rewards, lower targets, or 5x payouts. But are Hot Streaks still worth chasing? In this live stream, Laird and Harry Trades break down everything we learned from the past two months of Hot Streaks competitions and whether managers should continue to focus on them going forward. We'll also discuss which leagues and tournaments may offer the best opportunities in future Hot Streaks.

In today's SorareAndrews, we dive into whether managers are still aiming for the biggest prizes or if the game has shifted in another direction entirely.

In Episode 3 of the Sorare Rookie Card Challenge, I expanded my collection of rookie cards, giving me the ability to enter more lineups. But did adding more cards actually lead to better results? Join me as I break down the decisions I made, the lineups I built, and the rewards (or lack of them) from this week's challenge.

In today's episode of Sorare with Laird, I dive into a key question every manager should ask: what are we really playing for? As I go through my Sorare midweek lineups, I'll break down the current rewards structure, what's at stake, and how to think strategically about where to enter your cards.We'll look at:• The midweek Sorare reward pools and how they compare• My thought process while setting lineups• Why understanding what you're playing for is essential to long-term Sorare successWhether you're chasing limiteds, rares, or just trying to maximize your ROI, this episode will help put rewards in perspective while giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how I build lineups.

On today's Sorare with Laird, we're diving into a strategy that many managers overlook: prioritizing competitions that others aren't paying attention to. While the biggest contests naturally attract the most focus, pivoting to less serious divisions can sometimes create better paths to rewards.We'll discuss:• Why competition selection matters as much as lineup quality• How to identify spots where fewer managers compete• The potential advantages of zigging when everyone else zagsWhether you're playing Limiteds, Rares, or higher scarcities, understanding where the opportunities are can make a huge difference in your ROI.

If you're curious about how viable rookie cards are in Sorare, this series will give you a transparent look at the process — the highs, lows, and everything in between.

Should Sorare managers focus on entering as many lineups as possible, or concentrate on building fewer but higher-quality lineups?

In this episode of SorareAndrews, Andrew Laird and Black dive into the age-old Sorare question: how many lineups are enough each gameweek? Do we already have too many?
