Thought I'd put a thread together of some resources & people I consider really valuable & insightful for anyone considering or just starting out on their @SorareHQ journey. It's by no means comprehensive, this community is super helpful so no offence to anyone I've missed off...

1) Get yourself on the official Sorare Discord group https://t.co/1CWeyglJhu, the forum is always full of interesting debate. Got a question? Put it on the relevant thread & it's usually answered in minutes. This is also a great place to engage directly with the @SorareHQ team.
2) Bury your head in @HGLeitch's @SorareData & get to grips with all the collated information you have to hand FOR FREE! IMO it's vital for price-checking, scouting & S05 team building plus they are hosts to the forward thinking SO11 and SorareData Cups 🏆
3) Get on YouTube 📺, subscribe to @Qu_Tang_Clan's channel https://t.co/1ZxMsQR1kq & engross yourself in hours of Sorare tutorials & videos. There's a good crowd that log in to the live Gameweek shows where you get to see Quinny scratching his head/ beard over team selection.
4) Make sure to follow & give a listen to the @Sorare_Podcast on the streaming service of your choice 🔊, weekly shows are always insightful with great guests. Worth listening to the old episodes too as there's loads of information you'll take from them. https://t.co/fSVInMsL0l
5) Follow these guys for all sorts of data & number crunching goodness inc league competitiveness & payout ratios 📊:
- @SorareHub
- @SiegeTheDay23 (also knows his Asian football)
- @TheFootballEco
Can really help formulate your squad building for targeting particular divisions
6) Haven't got a big budget but want to get involved in Sorare and climb the ladder? I'd recommend you give the guys @sorareinfo a follow and sign up to their newsletter, they know how to find the best deals, pick up the bargains, buy low and sell high 📈 🧐
7) Handy for checking out the auction action whilst on Twitter & getting a feel for the market, the @SorareBot posts everytime an auction is won for more than $150 (it can be quite satisfying to see your name up there when you finally get the player you've been after a while...)
8) As sorare grows so too will the demand for league specialists to give you all the player & team news from abroad. We already have our man in Japan @SorareJapan offering all the inside knowledge, if you are going to tackle Champion Asia then giving him a follow is essential 🇯🇵
9) @SorareScout 🔎 have released their first feature which is a very handy season scheduler for all the leagues covered by the S05s. Can be difficult keeping track of all the fixture commencements especially with Covid so this is a welcome addition 🗓
10) Notable others:
@Football_MDJ THE Sorare blogger, v helpful & balanced insights
@FiGenesis French football - he's definitely got it covered 🇫🇷
@javeerdesu Great Youtube intro vid (more content pls mate)
@sorarefraser Pressures on now to get the fridge magnets in production...
11) And finally, I'd have to recommend my own Amazon paperback & eBook 📖 'Got Got Need - The Beginner's Guide to Sorare', walks through every step including the sign-up process, purchasing crypto & buying/ selling your first players, please check it out: https://t.co/dSBwwo8Fqt

"I really want to break into Product Management"

make products.

"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."

Make Products.

"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."

MAKE PRODUCTS.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics –
https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
So we had to develop technologies like this to barely manage control over limited areas in Iraq's few urban centers. Only ~8 in 100 Iraqi adults owns a personal vehicle. That rate is > 1 car/adult in America yet I have never seen any doctrine paper or work of fiction address this


We've seen and struggled in civil conflicts with instant, local, universal, distributed communications (cell phone era, basically every conflict since 2000). We've seen and struggled in conflicts with instant, global, universal distributed communications (everything since 2011).

The world's most overfunded military and glow in the dark agencies struggle and largely fail to contain conflicts where fhe vast, vast majority of people are locked into a ~5mi radius of their home.

How can they possibly contain a conflict in a nation with universal car ownership and the most developed road network in the world? The average car can travel over 400 miles on one tank of gas, how can you contain the potential of that kind of mobility?

I think that's partially why the system was so freaked out by 1/6. Yes, most of it is histrionics but you don't decide to indefinitely turn your capital into the Baghdad Green Zone with fortifications and 25k troops over histrionics alone.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
