    I saw that earlier in the circle info. You are still on for $86 which isn't bad.

    I'm having an awful week. No streaks, no cash rewards and even my essence is under 1500 when I can usually bank on 3000+ for a weekend GW

    Opta decided his keeper, who was already the weakest part of his lineup was to blame for the goal, which took him from being on the border of the $60-80 placement prize to $15. He is actually back up to $30 plus $25 for streak plus $1 for the sealing bonus but could have been better.

    I'm going to guess that part of his winnings will be going on Westerlo's keeper (Although Scherpen who he has now is the keeper for the top of the table team so in theory he has the best keeper while Westerlo are just above relegation, so maybe he would be better trying to pick up 4 outfield players for Union Saint-Gilloise)

    I was thrown under the bus.:joy::joy:

    Thanks Simon for the advice will give it some serious thoughts .
    Union Saint Gilloise would be good team to pick players from any Suggestions?


    Wasn’t really thinking about a new goalkeeper generally Scherpen done Okay, that said was looking for a Goalkeeper to play in Eredivisie any Suggestions ?

    For Eredivisie keeper Sparta's Drommel has a good mix between All Round Score and Decisive's. His average before decisive is 46.1 which is a good base. Kovar is the obvious choice being the PSV keeper though but is 3 times the price and obviously PSV don't concede that many shots so if they don't keep a clean sheet his AA won't be amazing.

    As for potential Union players.

    Kevin Mac Allister is a great pickup, I bought him over 3 years ago before he moved to Europe and he has actually got even better but his price shows that. Ross Sykes might a better value option.

    For being top their Midfield and Attacking options aren't the best when it comes to Sorare score. In Midfield Zorgane is the stand out. Schoofs has been better in the last 5 though and is fairly cheap but he doesn't always start. Striker wise you are probably looking either at Khalaili who doesn't get many Decisives but has an impressive average AA of over 14 or Promise David who does awful on the AA (Just over 1 on average) but gets more decisives. Promise does average less than 60 mins on the pitch though. Khalaili is actually the only 1 of their attacking options that plays most games who does average over 60mins on the pitch (probably because he generally plays as a WB) because they not only rotate the striker starters but sub them in most games

    I've submitted lineups for this midweek, but have a feeling I'm going to end up cancelling them all and giving arena a go for the Europa/Conference league games.

    First craft, used all clues and went with Portugal as they had 5 stars compared to 1 or 2 in the other leagues/nations.

    2nd craft was another star in the mix, didn't get it first time so used the shuffle, didn't get it the 2nd time either. It was the FC Midtjylland GK.

    That could turn out to be an amazing pull. Before his injury issues he scored really well on the AA front. He is only just back, is being eased into the team and with his qualities, he seems ideal for Amorims system. And with AFCON coming up, which will see Amad & Mazraoui missing, so Dalot will have to move back to the RWB role (even though strangely he plays the LWB role much better), meaning Shaw might need to be transferred to LWB (As Dorgu just can't play WB), making that LCB role Martinez's. He might even take Shaw's spot anyway or even play as the middle CB as he is great on the ball (or even deployed as a DM).

    Had to cancel my Palace stack last night as Henderson rested in goal, turned out well in an arena -

    Think with them rotating slightly in each European game it's probably best to save these guys for the arena midweek. That was my only essence win for the midweek.

    Won some crafting clues on the wheel so had enough I could safely craft. Use the new Highest Tier option first and found out my best was T3 so decided not to waste any of my clues or any more essence so just randomly picked

    upload_2025-12-12_10-32-45.png

    TBH of the possible ones I could have picked I'm fairly happy with that. Might not get used in my actual lineups but certainly seems like a decent option for the Quick Play or in an Arena team if he starts.

    I really do like this new clue, especially as its only 300 but can save you a couple of thousand essence in clues

    An absolute abomination of a weekend for me. Levante's game was cancelled due to flood warnings, cost me at least a streak. Istra game was postponed half way through due to fog, has cost me a relegation. I bought Martin Hjulmand for challenger with a load of market credits, never misses a game (ever) and so of course in the first week I use him as captain for 2 lineups he gets a full rest.

    https://sorare.com/blog/football/winter-gameplay-update-part-1

    Some good stuff in this blog, including if you're mad enough now to start saving essence ready for Sorare27. Regarding a solution to DNPs/subs -

    Substitutes

    We know that DNPs, and whether there should be a mitigation system for them, have been a major topic of community discussion. We’ve followed all your (sometimes heated!) debates closely, and we want to thank you for the valuable feedback you’ve shared.

    It’s clear that this is not a consensual topic. The community is almost evenly split between those who want us to address DNPs and those who feel they are an inherent part of the game.

    We are not yet ready to confirm the long-term direction for substitutes, but we are considering testing a DNP mitigation in competitions for leagues kicking off in early 2026.

    This test would not impact any ongoing In-Season Sorare 26 competitions. It would apply only to newly launched competitions, such as MLS.

    We’ll keep you updated in January as soon as we have a final decision on whether we will proceed, and, if so, what this test will look like. We are doubling down on interviews and surveys to gather as much community feedback as possible. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to continue sharing your thoughts on our social channels.
