Sorare Ranks Update #25 - September 21st, 2023
The end of the regular season fast approaches!
There isn’t much time left in the regular season.
This means two things.
First, playoffs are fast approaching, along with the additional rewards they bring. I talked about this a bit last week, so if you missed that, be sure to give the intro to Ranks Update #24 a peek.
But second, there will be some players that continue to have utility into the playoffs and some whose point potential ends very soon.
Most managers are aware of this, and we are already seeing playoff-bound player cards accrue a slight price premium.
But if you are planning on playing next season, there will assuredly be bargains to be had. Plenty of studs won’t make the playoffs, and if you can make a savvy trade here or there your future self will thank you next year.
That said, the ranks will continue as they always have for the next few weeks, and I expect that we will see some larger-than-usual price swings that a long-term focused manager can take advantage of!
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.

10 Overvalued Candidates
This week brings a fun mix of playoff-bound, hot-streak, and big-ish name players to consider testing the open market with.
Kyle Schwarber - PHI - OF/DH
SoRank: 90 | Implied Rank: 33 | 57 slot differential
Freddy Peralta - MIL - SP
SoRank: 109 | Implied Rank: 48 | 61 slot differential
Not a must-sell by any stretch, Peralta is simply riding an epic hot streak that presents a strong opportunity to sell and buy back in later.

Good luck out there this week managers!
