If you are a sportsfan like me than the following play to earn game could interest you as well. It has to do with football. And no, I am not talking about the American Hand-Egg sport (which I am a big fan of as well!). I am talking about the most popular sports in the world: Football! In this article I will introduce you to Sorare, a play to earn football fantasy game. Before we jump into it a quick disclaimer: This article is no financial advice but for entertainment purposes only.
Sorare - The next Ultimate Team?
So how does this game work? Basically, if you are a football fan then you are already familiar with fantasy leagues and probably also with FIFA Ultimate Team. Sorare can be described as a combination of both. In general, you can compete in different themed leagues. You do this by building a squad which contains of 5 players.
After a season which last for approximately one week these players earn points which puts you in a certain ranking in this particular league. According to the final placement in this season you will get certain rewards which are also depending on the league. In the rookie league people can get Common players as rewards whereas in the highest Global League players are able to win real money and Super rare players.
Play to Earn Aspect
You are wondering now: How is this a play to earn game? Well, this game is a NFT based game and these player cards are NFTs to which you are in total possession of. These cards are sellable and buyable on the market place and the prices of the players vary according to the real life performance. The cards are divided into 5 card tiers. There is common (white), limited (yellow), rare (red), super rare (blue) and unique (black) cards of each player. The higher this card tier the less cards are minted. Therefore, the price of these cards is higher. The superstars like Lionel Messi or CR7 are going for an extreme amount of money. But people also have to be lucky to get those.
First Steps
After you create an account, the player immediately gets and introduction to the game. By doing the tutorial you are getting your first few players which you can use to participate in the rookie league. After you get a hang of it the next steps should be to consider buying players to participate in the other leagues. As long as you meet the entry requirements for a league you are allowed to play in as many leagues as you want. To participate in a league other than the rookie league the players have unfortunately to purchase some players of the market. This makes the game only really playable with a small start investing. In my opinion this is doable for around 50-70 $ depending on the current market situation. I would suggest to start with a smaller league like one of the Asian ones since the players there are not that popular and lower in price.
Furthermore, you have to keep in mind that after you selected the players for a certain league, you are not allowed to use these players in another league. Of course you can always change your line ups so that you can change your strategy for the upcoming play week. Another interesting point is that after a real season ends, new player cards will get on the market. The cool part is that the players from the previous season are still usable as long as Sorare supports this league. This means that if a player transfers to another club in the same league, you are still able to use the same card and do not have to worry!
Conclusion
A few closing thoughts on this projects. First of all I think that this growing game has a lot of potential in the future. Not only is the number of members growing rapidly but also the partnerships with different leagues is growing. Additionally, this project is supported by many real life football players like Antoine Griezman or Gerad Pique. For me personally, this is a game that every crypto and football fan should try out! Like every football fanatic should know, it is not always about the big players. There is always a good chance of getting nice rewards just by using players that perform well on this particular weekend.
