Sorare Ranks Update #19 - August 10th, 2023
Wallow in the late-season lull, or plan for the future. Your choice!
I feel it.
You probably feel it too.
We are mired in the doldrums of the MLB season.
The All-Star Break is behind us, playoffs are still a little ways off, and we are sort of… just… stuck passing the time.
Die-hard fans might disagree with me, but it is roughly at this time that I have always experienced a decline in interest among my fantasy baseball league-mates. Trades get harder to make, and managers check out. It isn’t their fault, it is summer, people have families, and American Football is right around the corner too, beginning to pull at many people’s attention.
I am no different, all these things affect me too.
But, if you can fight it, there is gold in them hills.
What I mean by that is that while everyone else is pulled away, you have a chance to really amplify your impact in a short amount of time.
Especially in a game like Sorare where the cards you buy today are usable for years to come.
There are vastly underpriced players just waiting out there for you to pounce and watch as they get back to their old selves, return from injury, or otherwise overcome some limiting factor that has the market down on them.
And you can do it while fewer people are watching.
Don’t miss out, this time right here is one of the best times to set yourself up to compete for years to come.
Let’s dive in.
Rankings
Pro tip: click or tap the top of any given column to sort the data. You can also search for a given player using the “Search in table” box.
Players with negative numbers in the “+/-” column are “Values”, while players with positive numbers in that column are considered “Overvalues.” Lastly, if the google doc was your best friend, you can still find it right here.
Please note: based on how the pricing data is pulled, some players have blanks in their +/-. This will improve over time as more and more cards continue to hit the market for each player and more data flows to the provider.
