TOTW 27 Investments: Meré and de Tomás
Players: Jorge Meré and Raúl de Tomás Gómez
Target Price: 11,000 or less
Reasoning: The article I posted on Wednesday explained how much I love 82 rated discard inform investments and showed how successful they are. TOTW 27 features Jorge Meré and Raúl de Tomás Gómez, both of who are hovering around 11,000 coins at the moment. These players discard at a value of 10,004 coins, so you really have nothing to lose.
In addition, I LOVE the Spanish league for investing purposes. Many of the cheapest players for their respective ratings come from Spain (Iniesta, Thiago, David Silva, and Isco for example). When it comes to SBCs requiring high rated squads and good chemistry, these players are useful.

Often times (like in the SBC pictured above), these SBCs require multiple informs as well; that is why players like Jorge Meré and Raúl de Tomás Gómez are so valued. As people continue to submit challenges and they go out of packs, their supply will be depleted and prices will rise as a result – just as they did for my TOTW 24 Investments.

Your website as well as your twitter profil is a great guide and it creates a great oportunity to learn the market. The way you post information is cool and clear (explanation, target price etc.). However, there is always so called “tip from the reader” which might make this website even more effective and draw more readers’ attention.
Tip: It would be awesome if you post additionaly information about your predictions connected with the term of investments. For example, lets say player X is a good look to invest in, because of bla bla bla, target price is x,xxx, it is safe/risky because bla bla bla. And (HERE WE GO) your prediction about the term/date of player x price to rise, to what price do you predict him to rise, and what is the reason. Everybody knows that it wont be clinical set of price, everybody knows that we shall sell when we are happy with the profit, everybody knows that you are experienced trader not a god and you can make mistakes. But also everybody is curious about what you exactly think 😀
Best regards Chief
I’ll use Meré as an example. Say investor “A” and investor “B” both buy him today for 11k. Tomorrow he jumps to 13.5k for some reason. Investor “A” monitors his price closely and see he goes up. He chooses to sell. However, player “B” doesn’t notice the temporary bump in price and is strictly committed to a longer hold. Investor “B” sells him 2 weeks later for 15k. What I’m trying to say here is that the market isn’t static. There are daily and hourly fluctuations in player prices that you as an investor need to keep an eye on and make your own judgement call on when to sell (this applies to buying as well). In making this call, you need to keep in mind that more profit doesn’t always mean you made the better move. Going back to my Meré example, yes, investor “B” made more coins, but he had to wait 2 weeks to get them. Investor “A” took his profit an ran a day later, liquidating his assets and making them available for many more investments. Something that I could incorporate in helping everyone do this could be a “Sell By” section to investments. In the… Read more »
Thanks Chief 😉
Thanks Chief! Now I just need to get rid of Vazquez and Ki Sungs to free up some coins to buy them!
I’m selling off mine now. Unfortunately Salah went off this past weekend, otherwise Sung would have rose. Should have sold Vazquez in the hype last Friday. Live and learn!
I tried to keep myself updated on Vazquez but I never really saw him rise much in price. Probably didn’t check it close enough.
So you think Son has no chance for POTM anymore and there’s no point in holding Ki’s anymore?
He has a chance, but I hate the idea of holding any investment for over a month. When investing, you have to not only think about how many coins you made on your investment but also how quick the turnaround was. That’s why Coutinho was such a good investment this week; bought on Wednesday, and sold on Thursday or Friday.
Is it long term investment?
So sell Sungs and Vazquez and buy these guys instead?
Same as my friends above, time to sell Sung ? (I bought at 12k and he is currently at 13-14k)
You should be able to get at least 15k out of him. I’ve sold a few of mine for 16-17k already. Just be patient.
When should I sell the cards I bought.
How much is max price.
I’d sell at 15k.
Hey chief, what is your stand on the players from Basel and Young Boys from the MM? Still worth a buy?
Any time you can get a player for close to discard, it’s always a safe investment. I’d stick to silver players from Basel or Young Boys as they discard for a little over 100 coins each.
What about bronze? (Invested in bronze last week…)
Bronze are still OK, just a bit more risk since they don’t quick-sell for as much as silvers. As long as you sell in the hype, you’ll be fine.
Great =D
When would you say the hype for this MM will start? I was hoping that they would have risen at least a few hundred by today but they’re still low.
Usually it starts by now. I’m surprised it wasn’t more hyped in the FUT Analytics predictions.
Regardless of what happens with prices, be sure to sell a few hours before the announcement.
On xbox they still sells for 12-13k
Just be patient, I got a few yesterday for 11k on snipe. Don’t overpay.
Seems every second day has something special in sbc birthday. What would it be tonight? League sbc?
League SBCs have only ever come out on Fridays, so I doubt it. EA don’t tend to have much for promotions on Saturdays. I’m not expecting anything more than a shit SBC.
Didn’t last icons release on a Thursday? Normally also Fridays?
Something more big must be released during Birthday, otherwise just crap. Especially for me who couldn’t play and get rvp and Schweinsteiger 88s for free 😡
Icons are always released on “Throwback Thursdays”. We will see here in a couple hours if they do anything.
Bought a few more for 10500 todsy. Just hope they will increase to at least 15k
Fut 17 was rekeased 1h early. Got worst possibly card I guess. Burki 84
It’s not the worst : I get Howedes 83 🙁
Sorry, I messed up, I got a 86. I had to correct this mistake 🙁
I got Howedes from the 82-85 upgrade SBC.
