Sorare 26

Made some additional tweaks

• Coverage is now colour coded to make it easier to see
• There is now a transfer type banner on the card. This can show Transfer, Loan, Loan End or New Signing (aka Free agent). Sorare doesn't actually include transfer type so this might not be perfect as I've had to use some logic
• Age is next to the player name (As I find it can be helpful in judging loans)
• There is now a status bar showing a summary of the transfer types
• There is also a last updated time so you can see when the data was last refreshed

One thing I have noticed is my browser sometimes caches the assets. So I would advise after selecting your manager you do a refresh. Just clicking the reload page icon should do it but on desktop if you hold down Shift and click it then it will ignore the cache and do a full refresh.

 

Just thought I would share a screenshot of something I'm working on

 

Damn it my MLS classic for next season is getting decimated right now between retirements and transfers. Latest being supposedly Freeman from Orlando who I won as a reward is apparently off to Villereal. I suppose if he plays and does well that's a nice addition to my Champion lineup but would have scored better staying in the MLS

Edit

Oh FFS I'm going to cancel my Athletic sub as they just make me depressed. Just read that Russel-Rowe is going to Toulouse as well. I wasn't planning on buying MLS card right away because as prices will be 3 or 4 times what they should be but at this rate I'll need to to put out a decent MLS classic lineup lol

 

I've pushed the script update live. The squad list is currently still a work in progress. I might split to over a few different pages eventually and I certainly would like a way to show Last 10 game stats (seeing as this is what they are moving to using instead of L15) such as Decisive score, All round score and maybe goals, assists etc (maybe a full page of stats on players)

 

Might have been up and down a little bit there. I was integrating it with the forum so it knows who is accessing it so in future I can restrict it to forum users only if we get too many bots or the likes accessing it

 

I guess I should also explain a few things on the current setup

1. This is the same filter bar as on transfer. Type a name of a player or a club and it will show only those that match.
2. Here are a set of filter options. You can select/deselect what positions you want to see, what rarity you want to see and also the level of coverage they have. You can mix and match all 3 filter types
3. This is a stat bar. It shows you your total cards, then how many in each position you have. Then you have reward rate which is basically how often your cards wins a reward when its in a lineup
4. This is just if the league they are in is covered. Like on the transfer page it's Full, Partial or not covered.
5. This is card levels. The first is the Grade the card is currently at so G3 means it's at Grade/Level 3. The XP number is how much XP that card has. The bar shows your progress until the next XP level. If the bar is full and purple it means the card is at the top level
6. The So5 Stats shows first how many lineups you have used it in, The next figure is how many rewards its won. Then the % is the success rate. Success rate is colour codes. Over 50% is purple, 30-50% is Gold, 15-30% Green and the rest is Grey

On the stats. I'm not sure at the moment the period of games that the lineups/rewards covers. It's certainly not lifetime but it's also not L5/10/15/40. It might be season based which I would assume means European season. I'm trying to get better info from Sorare about this

 

The script hasn't been updating most of the day. I started adding in AA and D scores and despite me testing it in the API test area Sorare provide when I put the query into my script the server IP got blocked. I've found a way around it now that I'm testing so hopefully its back working properly soon

 

Did a craft as I won enough clues and essence that I could afford all the clues for a special draw. Only got a normal and then used best tier which was t3 so just paid for the clues so I save them for when I do get a special and they have the best value



Not a great selection but probably picked the best of the options. Guess technically Palliois is better but he's really old and his form is on a downwards trend

 

What's everyone's opinion on the new sets and the announcement for next seasons pro changes?

On sets I kind of prefer the game play style but it's annoying that it's basically killed the common collections as now completing those collections is pointless. Also wish there were 'daily missions' to help earn extra set essence or gems

On the upcoming changes for pro.

• J-League & K-League being its own tournament. Absolutely decimates Contender which I don't think is great
  
  
• J-League cards only having in-season eligible for the short transitional season seems crazy. I'm assuming we will have this situation with the MLS in 2027 too when they transition to a European season too. Certainly don't think I will be touching these
  
  
• Splitting Hot-Streaks and Leaderboard is going to complicate game play.
  • Getting 6 entries rather than 4 currently might be useful although needs more cards. The split is interesting with it being 1 Leaderboard and 5 Hot-Streak entries in limited (and 2 leaderboard and 4 Hot-Streak in Rare)
  • Lower first level on Hot-Streak is good but first two levels only pay Essence in Limited (and First Level in Rare). Cash only gets paid at Level 3 in Limited and level 2 in Rare
  • Addative Hot-Streak payouts is a nice addition. So if multiple lineups reach the target you will get the full payout for the first team to do it and then half the payout for each additional lineup that does
  • Essence Grand-Prix is also a nice addition. Each week if you hit a set target (480 on Limited apparently) no matter what Tier you are on you get an equal share of the global essence pool
  • On leaderboards I'm annoyed they are removing divisions rather than just fixing divisions to make it more engaging. If they were making this hard split between hot-streak and divisions it would have been the perfect chance to do so. I've said all along divisions should be part of a long-form game with a proper sense of progression. You have a season being say a month long with your best 4 scores in the 8 weeks counting to your score and each division has a lineup score cap which gets bigger as you move up the divisions with Div 1 being uncapped. As it is now with only 2000 places giving a reward in leaderboard and everyone in the same division winning unless you can put in a lineup of say Donnoruma, Van Dijk, Fernandes, Haaland & Rice
    
• No DNP Solution. TBH I'm glad of this as every single suggestion anyone has made only favour whales. DNP's are annoying but if it just helps the whales even more that isn't. The game needs to be less Pay to Win than it is not more. You don't get rewarded for good scoring and consistency enough (Even more with the split from In-Season and Classic. It used to be that good scouting of u23 players who aren't playing now but will be good in the future was worthwhile. Now it's much less useful seeing as you pay an u23 premium and an in-season premium so by the time they break into the first team they will often be worth less. Actually thinking about it, maybe we should have a classic slot and an u23 slot for in-season to help encourage scouting of future stars)
  
  
• Collection missions coming to Limited and Rare. While I'm not sure I would push to complete collections in Pro as the rewards we had for that in Common just aren't good enough when you are having to pay for the cards it's a nice addition. Maybe if rewards are tiered so you start getting rewards without having the full collection it might be better
  
  
• L15 to L10 change. While I like this I always find L15 is way too long but L5 too short I'm not sure about it only including the games played as in theory they could play 2 games a season and the L10 actually is an L10 that spans 5 seasons. It's maybe no worse than what we currently have where they can play 1 game in 15, score 80 and their L15 is 80 as they don't count DNP's when working out the average but its still going to cause people being lazy buying a player thay think is good and is when they play but they rarely play

 

It doesn't benefit us all. Leaderboard has a limited number of prize places, if will make it even easier for bigger galleries to lock up the top prize positions. And the more you win the stronger lineups and sub you are able to use.

And that's the issue with the game right now, the more you have to spend the more rewards you win and the more you get to reinvest which increases the number of prizes you win. It's harder half way through the season to win good rewards than it was at in the first month of the season as rewards have helped the average strength of lineup to be stronger.


The problem with your solution is you could end up with lineups with 3 strikers. Strikers are the most likely to get a decisive which gives you a big advantage. And TBH it would be worth playing a DNP keeper on purpose to replace the keeper position which obviously is so unpredictable (They are the most likely to be credited with a error leads to goal, they lose the most for conceding a Goal and its harder for them to get a positive decisive).

I've had lineups killed repeatedly over the last 4 weeks so a DNP solution would benefit me most likely but until someone comes up with a more fair implementation of a DNP solution I'm against it.

TBH I also feel that the excuse given on why we need DNP protection is a little flawed. Yes many DNP's are unexpected but the game is full of things that are unexpected that you have no control over. Your player getting. red card, scoring an own goal etc etc are also something you can't predict. It seems to me that if you add a DNP solution the argument then becomes 'Why did x benefit from a sub for an expected DNP but I don't penalised for an unexpected red card" and then the push becomes for the sub replacing your lowest scoring card be it a DNP or a negative decisve as it would only be fair to do that if you are protecting against DNP's

 

My tool now has a page to help you see which players are closest to the next level so you can decide who to use your xp on.

It also has a last 10 stats page. Some of the stats aren't being handled perfectly at the moment but should be perfect in the next day

 

There was an issue with the XP one as the XP for next level wasn't updating and that's now fixed.

And on stats page they are all average per game except the Appearance fields and the Penalty scored on the Attacking tab.
Still trying to get L10 total score and L10 average score working

 

Yeah same here. Still getting some essence at the moment so hopefully lots of people are being impacted by it and I can still get some essence by the end of the GW but not hopeful

 

There's a few matches left but looking at it none which will lose me any more rewards (if anything I might get 100 more) but I've had a pretty good week



My cash seems bugged mind you. I hot 3 Limited streaks not 2 and that won me $16 while I'm actually winning $10 more for position so it should really say $26 (Actually I think I should be getting 4% extra on the position placement cash so should actually be showing $30). Annoyingly I was winning $750 at one point but I've watched myself drop down game by game to $10. If I had got my keepers right I would have got $45 and if I had also switched my 5th player in team 1 with team 2 as well would have bene 1st and got $750. It's annoying when you are so close especially when its players you were debating between

My essence haul is great though, never got so much in a single GW. Admittedly its needed now with how many more arenas we have and the increased entry price so now just 3 area entries costs you the same as 9 used to
