[Repost] Marquee Matchups Prediction: PSV v. Ajax
First of all, cheers to all of you that invested in Basel v. Young Boys and made some nice profit! They didn’t rise as much as I had hoped in the hype, but EA chose them for Marquee Matchups and they shot up as a result.
Because of the success of this investment, I thought I’d post another Marquee Matchup shout for Week 30, courtesy of Eredivisie.
Ajax v. PSV
On Sunday, April 15th, Ajax (64 points, 2nd in table) will look to close in on PSV (71 points, 1st in table) for the league title. Not only does this matchup have huge standings implications, the derby – known as De Topper – is one of the biggest rivalries in the Netherlands. FUT Analytics Predictions show this fixture as the 2nd most voted to be chosen by EA for Marquee Matchups in Week 30. You can be sure that players will rise in the hype as a result.
My recommendation is to buy the cheapest players available from either club, because they will yield the best return – bronze, silver, or gold doesn’t matter. Players from PSV are currently cheaper than players from Ajax, so look to grab them early and sell in the hype a few hours before the Marquee Matchups Week 30 announcement on Tuesday, April 10th.
Note: Like I mentioned in the Basel v. Young Boys article, I know people that buy over 1000 of these players and sell in the hype. The more you buy, the more profit you can make. If you are unsure how to buy more players than your transfer list holds, check out this article.
Cheers,
Chief
“..sell in the hype a few hours before the Marquee Matchups Week 30 announcement on Tuesday, April 10th.”
What time will that be? And time zone?
It will come out at 6PM UTC.
Hi Chief, I bought about 60 players from the Saudi Arabia clash, Manchester Derby clash, and some from a hopeful Cardiff clash – if i’m lucky hope to see them in Marquee Matchups later
What’s the best time to sell?
Will look at getting on this Eredivisie game after too
Many of the players I recommended from the Saudi and Manchester Derby have doubled in price (if not more). I’d sell now in the hype before the announcement in 3 hours.
Wouldnt you take a gamble with vallejos and youngs? :d
I didn’t expect them to rise this much in the hype, so no, I’d sell now.
Is it possible to get 1000 players in pile on mobile?
I never thought you could, but a fellow player informed me that you can by using the ‘Send to Active Squad’ action.
1. Buy a certain player ‘x’ and put him in your club.
2. Win another player ‘x’ on bid so he is in your transfer targets.
3. Select ‘Send to Active Squad’ for player ‘x’ in your transfer targets.
4. After sending, the original player ‘x’ that was in your club from Step 1 will be put in the unassigned pile.
A bit tedious, but possible.
I did it with 100 players, but there are only 50 players in unassigned section on my mobile… where are others ? :/
You can only see 50 players in your unassigned section. You can put an infinite amount there, but anything after 50 won’t be visible.
Gr8. Thanks dude !
I invested on the basel x young boys preddiction and got like 200k profit, for that, tank you very much. But i have a question. You say to sell on the hype, but when i invested on basel players the price didn’t rise before MM release. In that case if it happens again with Ajax/PSV players what should we do?
Cheers
The Basel v. Young Boys wasn’t hyped as much as I would have expected, but since it was chosen for MM that increased their prices.
The Ajax v. PSV match will be hyped more, though, so I’m thinking prices will rise preemptively before the announcement. If they don’t, I’d recommend to hold and gamble in hopes the match is chosen.
how high do you think the prices in the hype should be, before selling? Bought 200+ Ajax gold players at 350.
The golds won’t have as good of a return on investment as the silvers/bronzes. They might make it to 600 coins – probably no more than that.
So should we buy bronze/silver players?
Yes, PSV players are still cheap. Try to get them for 200 coins.
if it is not chosen for the MM, is it not safer to buy gold, because of the lower difference between QS and min. bid, and because the gold ones sells 95% of the time, with BIN 400.
Many bronze players from the clubs dont sell at BIN 200..
So literally just any players from the psv vs Ajax?
Buy the cheapest players from either squad. They will have the best return on investment. Then, sell Tuesday in the hype a few hours before the announcement (6PM London Time).
Hi Chief,
This week EA turned the tables. They brought on all the europa league clashes, and I was lucky enough to make some profit as I invested in AM players, (notably correa who shot from 1.3k to 4.1k). This has got me to think, however, that the case might be the same next week. Are we going to actually see Schalke vs Dortmund, Benfica vs Porto, PSV vs Ajax, Basaksehirspor vs Galatasary (All of which are six pointers and have battles between 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd), or are we going to see Champions league games or Europa League games. (Lazio vs Roma is a notable mention). Perhaps it would be nice to see what EA did last year at this point for a better prediction.
It’s honestly any man’s guess as to what EA does week in and week out for Marquee Matchups. I don’t think looking back on what they did last year will give us any indication.
What this did do was create uncertainty in the community, and I think that will cause Ajax v. PSV to not rise as much in the hype as they would have otherwise. I still think there is easy profit to be made there, though, so long as you sell in the hype.
Do you think that gold rare (600 discard price) will rise to 1k in the hype?
Probably not. For smaller leagues like Eredivisie, the cheapest players (bronzes and silvers) rise first, followed by golds. Right now you can still get bronze PSV players for 200 coins or less. I think they are much more likely to rise 400 coins to 600 than gold rares to rise 400 coins to 1000 in the hype.
Already bought about 300 golds so I have to just hope they will rise at least to 900 coins each…
When shoul we start selling?
A little too late 😀
This post was for last weeks MM
Yes, this was from last week. Read the articles carefully as I said to “sell in the hype a few hours before the Marquee Matchups Week 30 announcement on Tuesday, April 10th”.
