Q & A Tuesday – Week 15
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!
Also, follow my on Twitter if you don’t already!
thoughts on picking up cheap 84s aswell as cheap 83s such as gomez and bernardo silva?
Both are good looks. Use FUTBIN to find the cheapest on the market. Cheapest 84s. Cheapest 83s.
So I bought around 8 OTW Hernandez’s last week for around 17.5k. He’s currently sat at 20k. As this is pretty much all of my coins, I feel that the possible OTW SBC is too far away for now. Should I sell up, take the profit and invest in something else? If so, what would you recommend I invest in?
I recommend you sell your Hernandez’s and invest elsewhere. There are a lot of good investing options right now, but for your budget I’d say 83s are the best bet. A guaranteed TOTW SBC is likely to drop this week and they will increase in price as a result. Here is a list of the current cheapest 83s on the Xbox market.
Are You sure about the TOTW SBC? I only started playing fifa on November 15 2017, after 5-6 years break, so I don’t know that much about FUT. There was a TOTW SBC on Black Friday, but then the marker had over 7 million players on sale, close to 8 million, now it has 5,5 at most, so there isn’t a need for them for a TOTW SBC in my opinion. Anyway, I will still buy around 30-50 83’s and 84’s just in case.
EA introduced SBCs in FIFA 17, and they dropped guaranteed TOTW SBCs throughout the year last year. The first was for Black Friday, and they had one for TOTW 15 as well. Even more, EAs code shows that there will be a guaranteed TOTW SBC for TOTW 15 this year (see image). I think its a sure thing that we see one.
I am interested in buying some players to make my team better. Players that I am looking into are boateng, alaba, mbapp, IF alexxandrini, kante. When should I buy? January? Thank you
A lot of those players are golds and will be packed tons during Team of the Year. I’d look to buy them during TOTY lightning rounds in mid January. I’m looking at buying a few of those players as well, so I’ll be posting more specifics of when to buy as we get closer to those dates.
IF Alessandrini was 35k during his SBC
Chief, do you think EA will still release a TOWT SBC with tradable players, like it was made on Black Friday?
Yes, I do. I’m guessing they will release it on Friday.
Need some advise. I’ve collected close to 700 players. I’ve enjoyed having this collection to complete sbc’s but I’m curious if you expect the market to peak anytime soon. I’d like to sell off all these players when the market is good.
I think now it’s the time to sell them, during these futmas SBC, because I assume a lot of those players are under 80 overall.
Let’s say you can sell those 700 players for average 200 coins each. That leaves you 133,000 coins after tax. While holding the players will give you a hidden gem once in a while for Marquee Matchups and other SBCs, I think you are better off using those coins to invest elsewhere for the best returns. If you’re not interested in using the coins to invest, 133,000 coins can improve a squad nicely.
