Hi Chief,
What is your strategy with TOTW? Do you pick up the players you are predicting, either their standard cards or other IFs? How much do these rise by?
Or do you just plan ahead to see who you will be targeting from an investment stand point when the TOTW drops on Wednesdays?
Picking up base cards of players who will likely get in the TOTW is a strategy to use in the early stages of the game, not so much now. There is a limited supply of cards in September/October, and base cards rise quite a bit when they are removed from packs. That is why OTW base cards are so profitable at the beginning of the game.
As for TOTW investments, I usually only target cheap, high rated informs (such as Zieler, Benjamin Andre, etc.). I often wait until Sunday to see where their prices settle at, then look to buy during SB rewards.
Whether I like a certain TOTW for buying is dependent on the events surrounding it, too. For example, TOTW 13 isn’t a great investment option for cheap informs because of FUTMAS; the daily SBCs have caused their prices to inflate. On the other hand, TOTW 12 was a great look for investing because it coincided with TOTGS. Tons of packs were opened, causing the supply TOTW 12 to be through the roof, and thus driving the prices of those players down. That is why I was so adamant on Benjamin Andre being a great look.
That makes a lot of sense.
You are doing a great job and helping me and others a lot! Thanks again!
