💭 Thinking about Sorare 1

two sizes too small

Our first recommended read comes from Brad who posted a long article on Medium. It’s a discussion about Sorare has evolved from its beginnings in 2020 to the current version. There are a lot of very interesting thoughts and ideas about the different card levels, community engagement and much more.

💭 Thinking about Sorare 2

Making sense out of Essence

Another recommended read comes from Bhab and is also available on Medium. The focus is on Essence and whether it is likely that the distribution will have to change (again) at some point in the not-too-distant future. It’s a great summary and a perfect follow-up to another recent article on Sorare’s division structure.

🗓️ Competition schedule

• Game week 28 (19-22 November): The "Shooter Special" should be good fun – any shot on target is worth 8 points! The All Star competition has another appearance as well.

• Game week 29 (22-26 November): It's an Italy-themed game week. There's a special for Serie A players as well as the Catenaccio competition where the extra position has to be filled by a defender.
