Q & A Tuesday: Week 5
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!
Hey Chief – due to some lucky pulls I have 1.2 Million in the bank. Saving up for a Reus-Auuba-Messi attack – when could you see it be possible to afford it? Will Messi eventually get to 700k?
Thanks!
It might be a while until Messi hits 700k. However, if you make some good investments, you could have that attack before the end of the year. With Scream and October POTM just around the corner, I’d look into making investments based around those events. Also, be sure to keep up on the Marquee Matchup Predictions each week, and you should be able to make bank on those as well.
Thanks!
Would IF Aspas be a good investment? He’s 85 rated and currently goes for ~32k open bid
Danilo Pereira and Rui Patricio who both are 85 rated themselves go for 44k+
High rated players, whether base or inform, are always safe investments; there WILL be an SBC at some point that requires them. For Aspas, it could be some Scream SBC this weekend, or an Icon SBC, or a POTM SBC. You might have to wait a few weeks, but it will surely pay off eventually.
Hi chief.
Followed some of the advice of your excellent site regarding investing in this weeks MM.
Some paid off handsomely but I am left with around 30 Al Hilal & Al Nassr players, who didnt feature in the MM in the end. All bought for no more than discard so nothing lost but just wondered whether you think there is any point holding onto them for any future events or has that boat sailed now & quickly selling to free up the funds the way to go?
Thanks.
Store any that you don’t already have in your club and sell off all of the duplicates. Your transfer list spots are more valuable than the few hundred coins you might make in a few weeks, or even months, time on those Al Hilal/Nassr players.
Hi Chief, many thanks for your other answers.
I would like to make question about the aspects you keep in mind for do a great investments.
Other chose will like ask you it’s about marquee, for example, this week when you do it the prediction for example (19 oct) Milic was in 1250 and for example this sunday was in 1700. ¿It’s better for marquee buy when you do it the prediction? (or before) or this case it’s a exception and always it’s better past the squadd rewards.
Other question about this is why the silver players are more expensive than the gold? (for exemple Milic it’s more expensive than Marko (2 olympik players))
Sorry for ask a lot dude but Im triyng to understand all of the market meta for will be a great investor like you for do my own investments!
The earlier the better for Marquee Matchups investing. Once predictions are released and people start buying the players to invest, their prices increase. So yes, look to buy when the predictions are released. Dan Duda does those, and he tries to get them out each Wednesday or Thursday.
Milic is more expensive because he is a rare silver and is the only LB on Olympiacos. When investing in Marquee Matchups, the no risk method is to buy discard players. If you want to take more of a gamble, you can by rare players that are the only card in their position (like in Milic’s case). With those cards, you will rarely be able to get them for discard, so there is more risk if they don’t get chosen for the MM.
Thanks forthe explain, very clear!
One question more,who/what’s Dan Duda??
I do almost everything with the website, but my friend Dan does the Marquee Matchups predictions. He wanted to help out and it takes a bit of the weight off my shoulders.
Oh sounds good then!
What do you think about next Marquee Matchups? Im thinking about Dortumund – Bayern, River – Boca, Olympique Lyonnais – Saint-Étienne and Huesca – Zaragoza.
If all go good, now it’s the best moment for invest in?
Thank you mate!
There will be a post on marquee matchups for next week later today. Stay tuned!
Hey Chief,
Great advice and site! I took a punt on the Olympiakos high rated cm’s and bought 80 at 350 a pop and almost all have sold tonight for 2000. Do you think this is a safe strategy going for CM’s and selling soon as it’s launched or would they have gone up more if I waited? Also do you recommend sticking with players of that same nationality so in that example Greece?
Slightly off subject but would lukaku otw be a safe investment and wait till he has a solid week of scoring?
Nice! Yes it is better to sell in the couple hours after Marquee Matchups are released (and that goes for all SBCs, for that matter). And yes, a good strategy is to get players of the nationality of the league; EA tends to make that a requirement.
Man United has a couple tough BPL fixtures upcoming (Tottenham and Chelsea), so I don’t know if he is the best bet for investment at this time. Of course he could score in one of those matches, but I’d say you might be able to use your coins in more reliable and safe ways that will guarantee you coins i.e. POTM investing, Marquee Matchups, etc.
Hey boss, I’ve picked up about 4x Bruma for 40k because I feel as he will rise because normal when he played (currently on a short term injury, maybe a week max if that) he was up to 59k, is this a good investment or should I just look to get rid of him for minimal profit? Also when will your next MM predictions drop? I made bank off your last one 🙏🏽
I would monitor his price. If he hits a point this week/weekend where you are happy with the profit, sell. Profit is profit, and sometimes its better not to be greedy. I’d sell if he approaches 50k.
The next MM prediction will come out later tonight. Early tip: Casco from River Plate is the only LB on the team. They have a huge matchup against Boca Juniors next weekend. Look to grab him for discard.
