Q & A Tuesday: Week 1
This will be a weekly thread meant for discussion about anything and everything related to the FUT market. Pose your questions about player prices, investing and trading strategies, or upcoming events. I will answer questions as quickly as I can, but if you can respond before I do, feel free to hop in the conversation!
Here are some suggested topics:
- Should I open my packs now, or wait until Friday when OTW is released?
- What effect, if any, will squad battles have on the market?
- I have investments on my transfer list. When should I sell?
- With Mane and Aguero (most likely) POTM coming in the next few weeks, who are the best investment options?
I do have investments on my transfer list (lots of “regular” rare gold players that won’t get an OTW/IF this week), like Jordi Alba, Mikhtaryan, … When should I sell ?
I also have invested in some possible OTW (Mbappe, Morata – who is likely to be IF tomorrow, James Rodriguez, Bonucci, Douglas Costa, and maybe one or two more), by looking at the graphs on previous articles, the moment to sell them would be somewhere next week ?
Finally, beside investments, what technique are you currently using ? I have some value in my club (a bit more than 500k), is there anything buy/sell technique you would recommend ?
Thanks a lot for your help and as a beginner in these kind of things (I’ve never done it before but man do I want that Henry this year …) I love your blog
First of all, let me state the difference between “trading” and “investing”. Investing is what you are doing at the moment with Mbappe, Morata, James, and Douglas Costa. You bought them and are holding them as they increase steadily over time. This is one of the ways we generate coins, and you might get a ROI (return on investment) of double or triple what you paid for them. That being said, you always have to consider how long you had to hold that player until you were able to sell him for that return, and in turn what you could have done with those coins otherwise. Let’s say you bought Costa for 10K last week Thursday. He is at 14K at the moment. Yes, you could sell today and make about 3,500 coins, but it took you 5 days to get to that point. Which brings me to trading (or flipping, in other words). Let’s say you took the 10k you were going to use to buy Costa and instead decided to use the coins to trade each day over this period. On Thursday, you managed to find a decent filter and made a thousand coins. On Saturday, you sniped… Read more »
David Luiz is going for like 70K on PS4 right now. Do you think he will go any higher than that? or start to fall
On Friday, TONS of packs will be opened with OTW cards coming out as well as the full release; I think you’ll see his price fall quite a bit in those couple hours when OTW are put in packs. I’d suggest selling today or tomorrow, buy him back on Friday when his price drops, and sell again next week Friday for weekend league.
How do you feel about Werner’s price? He just got a price increase but his BIN hasnt moved. I got into a couple of them when he was around 17k and going for 25k so not bad if i sold now, wondering if i should wait in case it goes up more.
Also intrigued about how you find “filters.” Right now im just buying random rare gold cards from big leagues for bid 650 and selling BIN 900, I dont have a filter or anything for specific cards. It is very grindy, but i usually see a ROI of around 9k every time my trade pile empties out.
Werner is the 4th option for Bundesliga strikers behind IF Aubameyeng, Base Aubameyeng, and Lewandowski. Their prices are all 250K+ so the fact that Werner is a tenth of the price makes him very desirable. I’d say he will likely be up to 35K+ by next weekend.
As for filters, sometimes it is just a guessing game until you find one that works. However, I’ve been using SBC as a guide recently. For example, the OGC Nice v. OM marquee matchup requires 5 France players. I played with some French filters and found silver-French-midfielders to be a good one. So I’d suggest looking into SBC’s if you ever find yourself “stuck” without a good filter.
would you suggest that same pattern for any high rated player thats not going to be a OTW?
Yes, I just posted an article on when to buy and sell for the next two weeks. It has a lot of useful information I’d suggest checking out.
Hi, as it stands i have a 150k bpl team with the likes of Eric Bailly, Raheem Sterling, Michail Antonio, Bakayoko, Renato Sanchez, Gueye. Should i sell it or do you think it will increase in price by Weekend leauge.
In addition do you think Michail Antonio’s price range will be increased due to him being extinct on xbox one and if so is it worth investing into him?
Many Thanks
Yes, your team will go up in price by weekend league. However, there will be market fluctuations between now and then that you could take advantage of if you are willing to sell your players and buy them back. Check out this article for the details.
As for Antonio, his price range will increase. However, I’m not sure where his price will settle at. Often times when a player gets a new max, people start mass listing him, and sometimes his price actually falls below what his original max was.
That being said, Mortata is extinct on the market now, and I have invested in him. He is out of packs because of his inform, and I think the cut in supply will prevent him from falling below 30K once his price range is updated.
Hi
I can’t find any good mass biding filter anymore. I am on the web app so sniping is very difficult. I also have 100k and i was wondering if you know any mass bidding method or easy sniping flithers
Many Thanks
Silver-Midfielder-France and mass bid for 200 or less. Relist for 400-500 BIN.
I’ve just bagged OTW Mbappe in a pack. He’s going for around 585k, but don’t know whether to keep him as he will no doubt be worth a lot more when he gets IF’s or to sell him?
There is no doubt he be worth more if he gets an IF, but there is also no doubt that you could sell him, invest, and turn that 585K into 1 million within a couple weeks. If I were you, I would sell and invest elsewhere. I think base Bakambu is a good option if you are looking for suggestions.
