Once you are happy with your line-up, choose your tactics, e.g. Tiki Taka and Joga Bonito. This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff among football managers. Each tactic tracks a different statistical aspect of your overall lineup. If you reach the tactical threshold, your entire line-up will receive a bonus point score.

Sorare Rivals Divisions

Promotion and relegation divisions

In the arena, managers are divided into groups of 20 people within their division each week. Points are awarded for every game won, and points are lost for defeats. At the end of the week, the best players are promoted, while the worst are relegated. If several players have the same number of points, the point difference between the games decides the ranking. A negative score is not possible - if you lose the first game, you remain at 0 points. Wins help with promotion, while defeats make relegation more likely. The aim is to reach the highest divisions.

Rival Squads

Rival Squads is a mode in Sorare Rivals in which you form a team (squad) of 2 to 10 players with friends. Together, you rise from Division 10 to Division 1 by collecting points. Your individual results count both for you and for the team. The top 5 players contribute to the squad score, and there are promotions and relegations every week. The top 5 players in the team get rewards based on their performance.
