Aguero POTM Investments
With 5 goals and 1 assist in 4 Premier League competitions in January, Aguero is a lock for the BPL Player of the Month. Here are some investments you can make in anticipation of the award.
Refer to 3 Steps to Investing in POTM for more details.
Investment: Franco Cervi
Reason: EA sometimes requires informs from the winner’s nation, and Cervi fits that stipulation as he also comes from Argentina. In addition, you have little to lose here as he is one of the cheapest 82 rated informs on the market; that will keep his price up.
Target Price (Xbox): 14,500
Investment: Sergio Aguero
Reason: Let’s face it – this SBC is going to be pricey. Aguero’s 92 rated card is 1.2 million coins, and EA will have to make this POTM card at least that expensive. A good way to accomplish this is to require his card for on of the SBCs (like they did with Kane for his December SBC). This investment carries a bit more risk, but the rewards could be huge if they do choose to require him.
Target Price (Xbox): 290,000
Investment: Gonzalo Higuain
Reason: High rated squads are another go-to for POTM requirements. Higuain is a good option for that because he hits two birds with one stone; not only is he 90 rated, but he also comes from Argentina. Coupled with the fact that he is one of the cheapest 90 rated players on the market right now, Higuain is a low-risk investment option.
Target Price (Xbox): 65,000
Investment: Nicolas Otamendi
Reason: Where Higuain covers two of your bases (high rating and Argentinian), Otamendi covers three (high rating, Argentinian, and plays for Man City). All of these factors might come into play with the Aguero POTM SBCs, so he could have a very nice return on investment.
Target Price (Xbox): 1,700

How much time do we have to invest? When ea releases potm??
I’m guessing they will release the POTM next week Friday, February 9th. There very well could be lightning rounds tomorrow, so that would be a good time to grab some of the base cards (Higuain, Aguero). If there is a OTW SBC that requires a high rated squad, Otamendi will be inflated, so look to grab him either before or after the weekend. As for Cervi, I would say the sooner the better for buying.
I invested in 83s recently, so I already have some otamendi cards. Is it better to w8 for potm to sell it than selling it during otw sbc ? How do you think, chief?
It depends. If 83s rise to 3k+, I would sell and look to buy back after the OTW SBCs conclude. If they don’t rise that much, then I’d just hold until POTM next Friday.
Hey chief, I want to invest in higuain tomorrow, how can I know what time exactly should I buy?
If EA releases lightning rounds tomorrow, I’d look to grab him then via bid or snipe. If they don’t, then I would say the sooner the better as he will likely rise leading up to the POTM event.
What the lightning rounds mean/are?
Lightning rounds are when EA releases a limited amount of packs (25,000, 50,000, or 100,000 at a time) and people can open them on a first-come-first-served basis. They are usually expensive packs with a value of 50,000-200,000 coins each. EA tends to have lightning rounds surrounding big events such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, TOTY, or the upcoming Winter OTW.
When these packs are opened, tons of supply hits the market all at once. That is why you often see a market dip surrounding those events. For investors, these are great times to pick up cards because many players slip through the cracks and can be picked up for cheap prices on bid or snipe.
I will be investing in inform otamendi as i think his price will rise when this sbc comes out
Does EA release POTM and League SBC on the same day?
Not usually, but they could do it this week. You can see past releases on the FUT Events page.
