TOTKS Crash Incoming: Sell Your Stuff
As I’ve said for the past couple weeks, Team of the Knockout Stage will likely drop on Friday, April 13th. With it we will see new cards, SBCs, and pack promotions. Here is how the event effected the FUT market last year.
Index 100
FUTBIN’s Index 100 tracks prices of the top 100 players in the game. Last year, the market sat at 52.54 points on Thursday, April 20th. Team of the Knockout Stage was released on Friday, April 21st.
FIFA players everywhere couldn’t resist the chance to pack Ronaldo, Dybala, or Aubameyang, so TONS of packs were opened for this event. As a result, the market tumbled all the way to 42.29 points on Monday, April 24th.
Individual Player Prices
Here is how some of the most expensive and usable cards in FIFA 17 fared over the event duration:
All of these players were packable during the event. Their supply drastically increased, and the demand could not keep up. Therefore, their prices took a heavy decline.
While 88 IF Son was not packable during this event, his price was indirectly effected as a result of so many similar packable players having big dips in price.
Chief’s Advice
- Sell any player you have that is over 100,000 coins before Friday, April 13th
- Buy your teams back sometime early next week (Monday, April 16th-Wednesday, April 18th)
Cheers,
Chief
But won’t they crash again during TOTS
Are you saying that you shouldn’t buy back next week? By all means, if you are fine with not having a good team for the next few weeks and would to prefer to buy when the first big TOTS league is released, then wait it out. I just don’t think a lot of people here have the patience for that.
No matter card type?
Do you Think dybalas tif is low because he maybe will get a fif tonight, or will not rebounce before the crash ?
Yes, no matter the card type. Even unpackable players (like inform Son above) felt the effects of the crash.
Whenever a player’s highest inform card is likely to be put in the new TOTW, that inform decreases in value leading up to the announcement. If he is chosen, he will drop more. If he isn’t, he will bounce back a bit.
What about investing in 81-82 cards as no doubt they’ll e needed for sbcs during that event??
Those cards are still inflated because of the upgrade SBCs. They are set to expire tomorrow. If 81s/82s go down in value, then yes, they could have investing potential. Otherwise, I’d stay away.
If you do choose to invest, try to get 82s for less than 1,000 coins.
Do you think POTM will be a bit of a flop with TOTKS on Friday and TOTS not too far away. Is there any point in investing as there may not be many takers ?
It depends who they choose. A Son card would be highly desirable. Salah would be a flop as he already has 6 special cards.
One investment I’d support for POTM is buying the cheapest 81 rated informs from the BPL. Those players not only could be used for POTM SBCs, but also for TOTKS SBCs as I’ve mentioned in this article.
Those BPL informs starts up at 13k. Is it worth buying at this price?
There’s a bit more risk at that price, but they also have the chance at being a requirement for the POTM SBCs. Maybe try to get them for a bit cheaper via bid or snipe – 12.5k would be a great buy.
Ok. I’ll do that.
Thanks
I bought PTG SMS for ~450k. Might get 250 for him now. Bought SIF Perisic for around 120 and he might sell for 70. Is selling still worth it?
Yes, I think it is a good idea to sell. Definitely your SMS as he will continue to decrease leading up to his TOTS card.
I also bought 93 Messi for 500k. Should I try to sell him for 420k now? Might rebuy him if he drops much or just straight replace him
Yes, I would sell your Messi.
Thank you!
Yo chief, do you think Firmino is gonna get an other IF or TOTKS?
Well, he definitely has a the potential to get another inform at some point this year. He has some decent stats in Champions League (2 goals in their last 4 matches), so I’d say it’s 50/50 on whether he makes TOTKS.
Thanks man, You the boss! Btw have you played with the Rooney fut birthday card? If so, what’s your opininion about him?
I haven’t used him, but I have played him quite a bit. I wouldn’t say he is overly impressive from what I’ve seen.
Yeah i use him and i like him most of the times but sometimes he seems broken. Btw do you think TOTKS is still coming? And i was wondering if a PTG card gets upgraded if the player gets a TOTS? because EA don’t really give people too much info. would be really stupid if the ptg doesn’t get upgraded cause i have ptg firmino and willian. Thanks Chief!
I still think that we will get TOTKS on Friday, April 20th. Even so, I still encouraged people to sell their discard inform investments today as they rose nicely because of the Sessegnon SBC.
PTG/OTW cards are not upgraded for TOTS. They are upgraded for Team of the Week, Man of the Match, European Team of the Tournament, Hero or Record Breaker cards. EA outlines it in this article.
What is expected to be released today) TOKS or TOTS?
Regards
TOTKS is expected to be released today at 6 PM UK time.
Thanks.
Is expected to sell all 81 IF unitl monday 16, right?
Yes, but only if we get the TOTKS SBCs that require informs. If not, I will communicate what the next step is for our investments.
