Playing it smart – 3 essential tips for beginners on Sorare

Getting started with Sorare can be exciting — but a little daunting if you’re new to the platform. To help you make the most of your first few gameweeks, here are three actionable tips that will give you a real edge as a beginner.

Sorare has been around for a while now. That's why you can find a lot of tools which are specific to the game. In addition, some websites are just very useful for fantasy football players in general.

A lot of it is free to use, other services require a paid subscription. Here's a list with tools you should definitely try when you want to win as often as possible.

1. Focus on one league or competition

As a newcomer, you might be tempted to collect players from all over the world. While that’s fun, it’s much easier to learn Sorare’s strategies and maximize your rewards by focusing on a single league or competition.

Pick a league you know well or you’re interested in. Europe’s top leagues are tempting but there’s also a lot of competition. Maybe you’re more into Dutch football or the Major League Soccer in North America?

Whatever league you chosse, you should start building your collection around players from that league. This way, you’ll have a better sense of form, injuries, and fixtures — and make smarter decisions each gameweek.

2. Learn Sorare’s scoring matrix

Understanding how players are scored is crucial in Sorare. The platform doesn’t just reward goals or assists: it uses an advanced scoring matrix that factors in over 40 different on-field stats like passes, duels won, fouls drawn, and more.

Take your time to study the official Sorare scoring guide for your chosen competition. Choosing players who excel in multiple statistical categories (not just attackers) can help you rack up more points and finish higher on the leaderboard.

3. Take advantage of free “Common” cards

Don’t rush to spend money before you’ve explored the website and all the potential competitions you could join. Start with the free “Common” cards which are given to all new users and enter your first competitions which are designed specifically for beginners.

You can claim one free pack with five Common cards per day, and you can buy additional packs without spending any money. You can’t pick the players you really want but you’ll quickly get a sense of what makes Sorare competitions so exciting.

Beginner tournaments help you learn the rules, experiment with team selection, and collect more cards — without risking anything. Once you’re comfortable, you can move up to competitions requiring Limited, Rare, or higher-tier cards.

Summary

By focusing your efforts, understanding how to score big, and starting out risk-free, you’ll build a strong foundation for success on Sorare.

That’s the best way to enjoy the thrill of global fantasy football even more!
