Q & A Tuesday – Week 18
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!
Snagged about 100 83โs for 900-1000 coins tomorrow. Theyโre going for around 1.8-2k now, should I sell now and reinvest in the next lightning round?
Yesterday* not tomorrow
I bought around 100 83’s for 900-1000 yesterday, just seen that the prices are around 1.8-2k. Should I sell now and reinvest when the next players drop? Or wait till they rise to around 3k?
I believe there was a leak for a guaranteed TOTW pack that might come out today. Hard to say if the leak is true or not, though. If you don’t think the leak is true, then you should sell before lightning rounds later today and then buy them back. If you do think the leak is true, then you should wait until the SBC drops and sell then.
If it were me, I would probably hold. Leaks tend to be true, and it makes sense from EAs perspective to release some guaranteed TOTW packs to hold high market values.
Hi, I was wondering if buying cheap OTW (like sanchez, traore, etc) would be a good idea? If yes, what would be a good price to buy them?
Also what are good investments right now besides 83’s?
Thanks for everything.
I would target Traore because he has a higher rating (82) that will be necessary to complete many of the SBCs. I’ve been getting him anywhere from 24-28k, so you could target a price in that range.
do you think its a good idea to buy 82 rated informs for 11000 BID for the TOTW guarantee pack?
I’m a little late to respond as the TOTW guarantee packs already dropped, but yes, inform cards that you can get for close to discard are always safe investments.
TOTW packs have dropped and the market hasn’t shot up quite the same way like it did for the TOTW packs that came after Christmas. Do you think that’s mostly down to the crappy TOTW (outside of Bale)? Should we expect 83s/84s’ prices to rise higher if the next TOTW is a lot better?
Part of the reason is that this TOTW is pretty shit. Another reason is that there isn’t quite as much demand for TOTW right now in the midst of TOTY. Additionally, being that the last TOTW guarantee SBC just happened a few weeks ago, I don’t think there is as much hype surrounding this one.
So, barring a major uptick in the market tomorrow (new TOTW plus TOTY defenders aren’t as exciting as attackers), you think the better bet is to hold the 83s and 84s until an OTW SBC in February — assuming that happens?
This is a difficult question to answer. Yes, I think that they will go up more for when the OTW SBC hits in February. That being said, I also think it’s possible to sell now for quick profit and use those gains for trading techniques (buying icons and flipping quickly) and potentially making more coins than holding for the next couple weeks.
I guess it depends how confident you are in your trading abilities and how much time you are willing to spend on the market. If you aren’t confident and don’t have that much time, hold until February. If the opposite holds true, take your quick profit and see what gains you can make through trading with your coins.
FYI – this is the same predicament I’m in at the moment, and I think I’m going to sell for the quick gains.
I hear ya. My plan is to wait and see what the new TOTW is and how the market reacts. If it’s not quite the jump I’m hoping for, I’ll probably hold until OTW SBCs.
Good plan
The 83’s from Premier League sell for 3k, I just sold a few.
hi chief,i forgot to invest in any 83+ rated cards. is there still time to make money and if so when should i buy?
cheers
Also i have around 550k, would it be better to try and snag some icons on the cheap during TOTY and sell them afterwards?
With 550k , I’d say your budget is more inclined for cheaper cards rather than icons. You are a little late to the party for 83s/84s, but I still think OTW Traore is a good look. See this article on why.
When would be the best time to sell traore then?
When the OTW SBCs come out the first weekend in February.
Is IF Danilo worth investing in? 80 rated and been picking them up for 9800 coins, 40 above discard
Probably not, unfortunately. If these guaranteed TOTW packs haven’t caused his price to rise, then it’s unlikely that he will go up.
There is a rumour that new icons Will hit the marked tonight, sbcโs. You Think the cheapest icons will go higher? Investing?
I’ve heard the rumors as well. I’m not going to be doing any investing there, though. The time to buy those icons was Monday when the TOTY attackers dropped. They have all inflated by now.
Hey, will bonucciโs toty version get lower price after toty event? Is it worth to buy it now? or wait, and buy it later?
And Futchief, could you explain how OTW investments works? I mean, you recommended somebody few posts earlier to invest in traore… How will it work, what is the certainity to success, and why? Could you please make it clear (explain as for newbie ;d)?
No problem, man. We all have to start somewhere.
At the beginning of February, EA will release a batch of Winter OTW players. In addition, they will also promote some SBCs related to OTW. These SBCs are similar to guaranteed TOTW SBCs in that their reward is a guaranteed OTW player. Last year, they required at least 1 OTW be submitted to complete, and players like Traore shot up in price as a result (him in particular because he has a decent rating and is cheap).
There is some speculation here that EA will require OTW cards again for the SBCs, but if they do, Traore should rise nicely.
Cool, I’ve already bought about 5 otw traore, maybe it will work :). Anyway, some people suggested to invest in 83’/84’s gold players (because of the leak of incoming totw sbc during toty event, and the leak occured to be true – I invested before the sbc came, so I was happy that I’ll probably earn some coins) – so I bought cards like Mustafi (for 3,7k), Lallana (1,6k), Benatia (3,5k), Falcao (3,6k), Morata (3,6k), Callejon (2k), Matiฤ (1,9k) and so on… But then, when the totw sbc appeared, the prices of those cards didn’t really rised as I expected (I can sell those cards for the same price, or maybe earn about 200 gold per one card)… And the question is, how do you think, is it better to sell them now for the same price, and invest for instance in otw traore, or there is still an opportunity to earn on those 83’s/84’s and it’s better to wait…?
Thanks in advance for advise ๐
When the OTW SBCs come out, those cards should rise higher than their current values. 83s and 84s rose to 3k and 6k respectively for the event last year. If you are willing to hold for a couple weeks, you will see some better returns.
Thanks dude
Do you think the 83/84 market is going to dip again over the weekend with the entire TOTY in packs + lightning rounds?
Thx dude
Hi chief,
I have 2 questions.
1: Isnโt there a lighting round tomorrow that we should consider picking up 83/84? How can pi search for them on the transfer market?
2:
Also I had bought some IF Jagielka left over. Itโs not much selling for the price I bought. Should I keep them to see if the price goes up?
Thanks
I’d get rid of Jagielka. I don’t see him rising much more. Unfortunately the Kane POTM didn’t require him, and that’s why the investment didn’t pan out as I’d hoped.
should i buy neymar now for 375k? since right now dinho just came out but also neymar is getting an inform next week for sure. When should i buy him ?
A little late to get back to you, but yes. I see him increasing in price over the next couple weeks as people begin to build their dream teams and his supply is cut off.
Hey Chief. OTW Traore’s price already rised (from 26-27k to 35k), but Kessie’s price rised from 24k to 40k… Is that mean that traore won’t rise more ? Or it doesn’t matter what is happening right now, and I should wait till OTW SBC come, and then traore’s price will also rise? ( I invested in traore mainly)
Thanks in advance for answer,
Kessie shot up because he scored 2 goals in Milan’s fixture over the weekend. He will likely be getting an inform this week. I do think Traore will continue to rise as we approach the Winter OTW the first weekend in February, though.
Over the weekend, lots of old IF/TOTGS have been boosted in pricing, after dropping when TOTY was annonced. Do you see that trend continuing? x. Nainggolan, De bruyne, dybala.
People tend to wait until after TOTY drops to build their “dream teams”. That increases the demand for top tier players that can no longer be packed. With so many coins circulating this year compared to last year, I could see the trend continuing over the next couple weeks.
I have kessie otw… lets say it will get inform. How much the inform kessie might cost?? Im newbie so now maybe stupid question: will my otw kessie turn into inform automatically (if kessie get inform ofc)???
Thanks Chief for answers =))
Kessie’s price has already inflated because people expect that he will get an inform on Wednesday. Your OTW card will be upgraded to match the stats of the new TOTW card. Depending on stat upgrades, he likely won’t rise much more than he already has.
Cool. Traore shot up to 37k… i already bought some traore for 25-28k. I have about 130k left to invest, is it still worth to buy traore despite the fact he costs 37k now??
I’d wait a few days to see where 83s/84s settle at. Once the guaranteed TOTW SBC is finished, they could drop in price quite a bit. Those would be a good investment as they will be necessary to complete the OTW SBCs in a couple weeks.
Actually I invested in 83/84 too. And because their price didn’t rised enough I decided (after consulting you =D ) to wait for otw sbc. But then, in two days somethibg else happened… the weekly objectives appeared ( i.e. to buy two forwarders at least for 8k per one, or to buy some defenders at least for 6k per one) and I decided to try to sell 83/84 for this “huge” price and it worked! Ppl bought about 20 cards for 6, 7 or 8k each =d. What is more, I managed to sell some worse cards (i.e. 79 overal) also for the 6, 7 or 8k (depends on position) =))) the weekly objectives are still active, so u can try do the same ( you can earn more than during otw sbc, as I mentioned before I managed to sell for example 83s” for 6-8k ) =))
