While Atlético de Madrid proclaimed itself the winner of the League title at the José Zorrilla Stadium, in the digital world the winners have been the owners of the NFT (Non Fungible Tokens) that have appreciated the most this season: Oblak (94,300 euros) , Kroos (87,000 euros), Llorente (56,300 euros) or Militao (18,300 euros) are some of the player cards from the Spanish league that are offered at a higher price on the Sorare fantasy football platform.
During the 2020-21 season, fifteen thousand Spanish users have not been able to go to the stadiums, but have played their own competition, enjoying the performance of their teams every day and exchanging digital cards (tokens) with other fans. The value of these cards increases according to the player’s performance on the field and their degree of exclusivity. Each season, a limited number of each player are distributed, classified as rare (one hundred), super rare (ten), and unique (only one for each player per team per season).
So far, Spanish players on the fantasy football platform Sorare have exchanged more than two million euros in trading cards. The most valuable of those sold so far -related to La Liga players- have been those of Jan Oblak (€9,500) and Thibaut Courtois (€3,858) among the goalkeepers; Emerson (€7,631) and Thierry Correia (€6,032) in defense; Kroos (€9,988) and Saúl (€9,105) in midfield; and João Felix (€18,900) and Maximiliano Gómez (€12,210) as strikers.
