The 2026 MLS season is officially in full swing, and if the first few weeks have taught us anything, it’s that our pre-season "locks" might not be as safe as we thought.In today’s Sorare with Laird, I’m joined by Harry Trades to separate the early-season noise from the genuine Sorare signals. We’re digging in to see who is actually performing, who is just getting lucky, and which "must-have" assets are currently killing our lineups.In this stream, we discuss:• Pre-Season vs. Reality: Which teams or tactical setups have completely surprised us compared to our February outlook? We revisit our biggest predictions to see what's holding up and what’s falling apart.• The Stock Risers: Early breakout stars who are defying expectations—is this elite production sustainable for Sorare, or is it time to sell the hype before the regression hits?• The Underperformers: Breaking down the slow starts from the league’s big names. Are we buying the dip on these struggling stars, or is there a deeper tactical issue we should be worried about?• New Arrivals Report Card: How are the high-profile winter signings fitting into their new systems and impacting the Sorare scoring matrix so far?• Tournament Strategy Shift: How the early results may force us to pivot our approach to the MLS Hot Streaks and weekly Leaderboard competitions.Whether you're looking to snap up some value on the secondary market or deciding who to bench for the upcoming Game Week, this is the deep dive you need.Connect with Harry Trades:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HarryTradesX (Twitter): https://x.com/harrytradesYTSupport the Show:Join the Community: https://patreon.com/andrewmlairdFollow Laird on X: @andrewmlaird#Sorare #MLS #FantasyMLS #SorareStrategy #MLS2026 #HarryTrades #Lairdinho #NFTFantasy #Web3Gaming

This week’s SorareAndrews starts with the topic everyone has been talking about lately: cheating on Sorare.After the recent controversy on the platform, it raised a lot of questions about how people try to gain an edge — from multi-accounting to lineup coordination and other gray areas that pop up in competitive games.So today we’re doing something a little different.We’re breaking down the “best ways to cheat on Sorare”… in a very tongue-in-cheek way.Along the way we’ll talk about:• The recent scandal and what actually happened• The types of behavior people think are cheating vs what actually breaks the rules• Why competitive advantage always pushes the boundaries in fantasy games• What Sorare could potentially do to prevent it• And why most people are better off just trying to build smarter lineupsAs always, the goal is to understand the ecosystem better — and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.Want to support the content?

The K League season is underway on Sorare, and I’ve decided to jump into In-Season Rare competitions. In this stream, I’ll explain why I think the setup makes sense strategically, how the prize pools compare to other leagues, and what I’m hoping to accomplish by playing K League Rare this season.We’ll also open up my K League Early Access cards to see if any special editions show up!If you’re considering playing K League on Sorare this year, this stream should give you a good idea of how I’m approaching the competitions and what I’m hoping to achieve.Join the live chat and let me know: Are you playing K League this season?👍 Like & subscribe for more Sorare strategy, lineup decisions, and gameweek breakdowns.

It starts with one idea.A new card I “need.”A competition I “should” try.A format I “might” be missing out on.And suddenly I’m down a rabbit hole.In today’s Sorare with Laird, I’m breaking down the ways I’ve been wasting time on Sorare lately — from chasing new card concepts, to testing new competition entries, to convincing myself certain pivots are “fun experiments.”But here’s the real question:Is it actually wasted time… or is this part of what makes Sorare worth playing?We’ll talk about:• The mental pull of new competitions• The temptation to expand into “just one more” league• When experimentation becomes distraction• How to balance ROI thinking with having funIf you’ve ever restructured your gallery for the fifth time in a month… this one’s for you.

Sorare keeps adding new competitions — Hot Streaks, Arena, Classic, In-Season, region-specific leaderboards, scarcity splits — and it’s starting to feel… confusing.In today’s SorareAndrews, we're breaking down:• Why lineup selection feels harder than ever• Whether more competitions actually means more opportunity• If the UI is keeping up with the gameplay changes• How managers can simplify their approach• Whether this is a short-term adjustment… or a long-term problemThere’s a ton of action on the platform right now — MLS, Europe, J League, K League, rotating specials — but at what point does “more options” turn into “too much to manage”?

MLS is here… and I think I just came up with a new way to attack it.In today’s Sorare with Laird, I’m diving into Major League Soccer — but not in the way most managers are approaching it. I’m not blowing up my gallery. I’m not chasing every shiny in-season card. And I’m definitely not pretending budget doesn’t matter.Instead, I’m testing something different.Is it smart?Is it reckless?Is it actually +EV long-term?I honestly don’t know yet — but that’s part of the fun.We’ll talk about:• Why MLS is tempting right now• The risk/reward profile compared to Europe• What makes MLS uniquely attackable (or dangerous)• How I’m thinking about cost control while still trying to competeAnd yes… I’ll explain why this might actually be a dumb idea.Didn't catch this live?

I’ve never worked for Sorare...but I’ve also never actively tried to.That’s not an accident.In this live stream, I’m explaining why I continue to create content about Web3 platforms, including Sorare, instead of trying to work for them.We’ll talk about:• Why independence matters when covering evolving Web3 games• The difference between being a creator, a partner, and an employee• How incentives change when you work inside a platform• Why I believe creators add more value staying external• What this means for trust, criticism, and long-term sustainabilityThis isn’t a criticism of Sorare or any other platform, it’s about how I think creators can best serve their audience in Web3.If you create content, or consume a lot of it, this conversation applies far beyond Sorare.Support the content by becoming a member of the Laird Social Club or the Sorare with Laird channel: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird
