There are lots of collectable cards that can be assembled in order to build a team and participating at different 4-days competitions, that allows you to wind and redeem other cards!
However, this guide will provide you everything you need to become a successful Sorare manager.
What is Sorare?
First of all, let’s talk about Sorare, an NFT-based fantasy football game, where you will be a manager of your team. The role of a player is to pick players and assemble squads in order to compete against other managers during competitions.
There are 4 levels cards: limited, rare, super rare and unique which are minted NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Sorare offers 3 way to obtain new cards:
- Marketplace: through Auctions or via Manager Sales
- Winning 4-days competitions
Let me tell you that if you sign-up with my referral link, you can get for free a limited card once you collect 5 cards, and some other free common cards that are not tradable.
Cards
Each card has his own XP rating, which can be increased by actively taking part in games and training, with a maximum of 20 levels. For each level, cards gain a 0.5% multiplier bonus applied to their game score!
There are 4 different rarities:
- Limited (yellow): there are 1000 cards produced each season, and you can get one for free here
- Rare (red): there are 100 cards produced each season
- Super Rare (blue): there are 10 cards produced each season
- Unique (black): only one card produced each season
Higher rarity cards got an higher multiplier! However don’t be scared, because you can participate only in tournaments that requires cards you own. It’s a layered experience!
How to play?
Once you have an account, the first step is to choose your favourite team and depending on this you will be rewarded with some free cards. Now it’s time to have a look to tournaments! It’s time to act!
In the play menu, you can have check available tournaments, but let me tell you that you can easily join for free the top 5 football leagues, which allows you to win free prizes:
- Serie A (Italy) - Amateur
- Bundesliga (Germany) - Amateur
- LaLiga (Spain) - Amateur
- Premier League (England) - Amateur
- French League (France) - Amateur
After signin-up to these leagues you have to build-up your team. But how can you do that? It’s easy and funny! Let me explain how to do that. For each one of previous tournaments you have a budget of 400 credits which allows you to pick 8 players:
- 2x Goalkeepers
- 2x Defenders
- 2x midfielders
- 2x forwards
Remember that the minimum costs for each player is 40 credits! Once you choose your team, you can go ahead with the composition of your team. You have to put on field:
- 1x goalkeeper
- 1x defender
- 1x midfielder
- 1x forwards
- 1x extra (that can be chosen by previous picks, and I suggest you to pick the other forward)
Once you build your team, you have to choose your captain, which will have his final score doubled! So choose it carefully!
How will overall score be calculated?
During the matches in which you players are involved you can check their live score, which will be assigned by Sorare depending on player real performance. Let me tell you that each player can have a maximum of 100 points, depending on goals, assists, clean sheet, last man tackle, etc. At beginning, players got 35 points (25 for substitutes) and then their score can go up or down depending on their performance.
The sum of all 5 players will determines your overall score.
How to make money with Sorare?
Let me remind you that you can win cards, even for free, by participating at tournaments, and this allows you to sell rewards and make profits.
Another way to make money is with market. Trading cards is a key point of Sorare, since it allows you to exchange your rewards, or your owned cards with others. You can trade with other players too, by sending them a trading offer!
Some tips
Remember that overall score is related to real performances, so it is important to consider some factors like:
- Injuries: you can put injured player in your team, but this will be equal to a 0 score, since he will not play! Always check teams line-up!
- Day calendar: always check the day calendar, because even if you got 2 players with different mean score during last games, you have not to pick the highest sometimes, since he can play against a stronger team!
- Disqualified Player: same as injured players
Conclusion
