For every player you invite through your referral link, when they buy 5 cards from the auctions market (individual cards or bundles), receive €20.00 in credits to spend on Auctions or Instant Buy and he/she does too.
When you invite 3, you get a free Limited Tier 2. When you invite 5, you get a free Rare Tier 4. When you invite 10, you get a free Super Rare Tier 4. When you invite 30, you get a free Unique Tier 4. These extra cards can give you a massive advantage.

All trading and investment transactions involve the risk of loss of capital. Never invest money that you might need immediately 🙂 never. The information presented on this page is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy. It is a guide for curious people who want to embark on the Sorare adventure or who simply want to better manage their gallery. It is always important to think carefully and cross-reference data.
Pro tip #1: We suggest you to consider a purchase of Limited Cards to increase your chance of winning a card after playing at least one or two Game Weeks in the Amateur League.s. Why is that? Because after the end of the 1st or the 2nd Game Week you have played with 5 out of your Common Cards, now you know how the matrix score works and as you will have finished this guide & are a subscriber of our newsletter (if you have not yet done so, you can enter your email address in the box below), you will know which 2 players to buy first. If you have the budget, considering to buy Rare, Super Rare and/or Unique cards is also a good option.
Step #3: Collecting your first cards of players
Pro tip #2: We would recommend you to bear in mind when purchasing cards of players that you need to decide if you want to go strong in all division from the start or just some. If just some, then concentrate on buying cards of players from the Leagues you are targeting. We recommend you to go for Academy with cards of Rookies first for some years.
Many factors will come into consideration such as budget and how you want to play the game. There is no right or wrong way and all types of budgets can compete. Division rewards and capital appreciation are the ways you can profit.
Pro tip #3: If you decide on the capital appreciation route, then we advise you to look for cards of young players with potential or cards of currently injured players you believe in. If you want to win divisions on a regular basis, you need to look for cards of players who score regularly. This last solution is the most expensive. Please note that winning rewards on a weekly basis will soon recoup some of your spend.
There are 4 ways to buy cards of players:
- New Signings & Bundles: you buy the card directly off Sorare by engaging in an increasing-price auction (English auction)
- Instant Buy: you buy the card directly off Sorare without engaging in an English auction
- Transfer Market: you buy directly from another user who has listed a card for sale
- Direct offers: can be made to any user who owns a card you wish to purchase.
Pro tip #4: Have a look on the auctions of the cards of players you are looking for by clicking on the follow button on their profiles, you will get notified by email when an auction of this card is on sale. Auctions are generally where you get the best deals 👇
Pro tip #5: You can adjust the notifications you wish to receive per player you follow via the "Player Notifications" page under the "My Sorare" in the Main Menu.
