If You Hate This Sorare Competition… You Might Be Doing It Wrong

from Andrew M. Laird · host Andrew M. Laird

Sorare’s Valentine’s Special Event for GW53 is here: Cap 280, one lineup, all-season cards eligible, and a completely tweaked scoring matrix built around chemistry and teamwork.Pass-heavy players get boosted. Fouls and yellows get punished. One lineup. One shot. Scarcity leaderboards. Multi-club bonus activated.And a lot of people are upset about the rewards.But here’s the real question:Are you evaluating competitions the right way?In today’s stream, I’m breaking down:• Why this format is more strategic than it looks• How the scoring tweaks change optimal roster construction• What Cap 280 does to lineup builds• Why some managers immediately dismissed this event• And what that reaction says about how they think about SorareThis isn’t about roses and romance.It’s about whether you’re playing short-term… or building correctly.Live chat will be open — bring your takes.Don't forget to like and subscribe! 👍🤝 Support the content by joining the Laird Social Club: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird
