I'm over the first serious game week in the Sorare NFT football game.
It was okay for the first attempt, and it also revealed one or two important things. Most importantly, I can only enter semi-pro tournaments if I have 10 cards or less. Since I want to play these in every week, I have to sell 5 cards. 2 have already been bought.
In terms of results, it was not successful at all, I couldn't achieve a ranking anywhere that I would have received a card for it. The MLS and Premier League were the best, but even here I was far from the first 200 or 300 places.
I cancelled the Pro and Semi-Pro teams, as I saw, I won't reach paid places, and preferred to list some of these cards.
At the moment, I have 13 cards, within 3 days I should sell 3, so I could participate in the next weekend Semi-Pro tournaments, where only 1 NFT required. I already got 1-1 cards for that from the 6 leagues (USA, England, Germany, France, Italy, Spain) where they have this competition. Next to that, I will keep the german Bundesliga 4 players, mostly from Heidenheim. That's 10 NFT cards.
There is no Amateur game week 400, so I can focus for the GW401, what will start within 3.5 days. (I also recognized, not worthy to setup a team days before, only in the last day, before the tournament, game week starts.)
In order to start in all the Semi-Pros, I would have to sell some cards. Because it turned out for me over the weekend that I can register with a maximum of 10 owned cards.
However, I had previously bought the necessary 1-1 cards for the other leagues as well. I think all of them were relatively good buys, 3 of them played as substitutes during the weekend. Nathan, from MLS, is injured, but before that he had good numbers. The price was between 10-20 EUR, now I bought it for 2.20 EUR. I hope he plays again soon.
Obviously these aren't the best players, but they more or less play and get some points, plus 4 very good free players in the Semi-Pro version (and a bit of luck) hopefully I can finish in prize few times in the next year or so. And of course, all are young and/or coming back from injury players, so profiting from future selling is also an option.
That way, I will be able to enter 13 tournaments every week. (6 Amateur, 6 Semi-Pro, 1 Pro) All this at minimal cost, if I manage to sell the 3 players at the listed prices, then for free. In this way, it will really be just a bit of fun, with a minimal chance to win NFT card prizes.
