On October 5, Sorare announced five English Championship clubs joined the platform: Burnley, Coventry City, Millwall, Norwich City and Watford. The five represent a significant bit of history, a number of top-end second tier talent, and a wide spread of current fortunes. In this series of four articles we’ll be examining the top two options for each club at each Sorare position, together with a couple of additional names (U23s, age 24, and others that catch my eye).
Per Sorare: EFL Championship clubs are eligible for our All Star tournaments and the brand new Second Division competitions starting GW 312. In addition, all second division player cards will be eligible to enter the global competitions. Championship players were previously eligible to play in Challenger Europe competitions when it opened. Those players will no longer be eligible in Challenger Europe and will only be eligible in the Second Division Europe competitions.
In today’s article we’re covering the top Midfielders at each club.
Josh Brownhill, age 26 | Burnley
See if you can guess when Josh Brownhill went from playing in the Premier League to playing in the Championship.
The Clarets’ midfielder leads the club in goals (4) + assists (3) with seven total goal involvements. Contrast that with his two goals and three assists last season in 32 Premier League starts for Burnley and it is easy to see that he’s found a level of competition where he can dominate the stat sheet. That makes Brownhill a very enticing acquisition for the current year, but should be a minor flag at his current prices: the first two Rare’s to gavel averaged 0.707 Ξ. This is too much of a yo-yo club to expect that Brownhill retains a Championship value across your Sorare career, but if his prices start to dip a bit he becomes a valuable Global All Star starter for his Championship seasons.
