[Repost] 3 Essential Sniping Tips
Yesterday (April 17th), I won all of these players on snipe. Total profits from the three were roughly 25k. In addition, I won numerous other TOTW players (notably Michel and Armero) for 3-4k below their cheapest BIN. All in all, I’d estimate I made about 75k yesterday from sniping alone.
Here are some tips on how you can make 25k+/hour through web app sniping.
Tip #1: Download the shortfuts chrome extension.
When sniping, every second counts. The difference between you sniping an 87 IF Isco for 10,500 coins (something I saw last week) and missing out on 100k can be a fraction of a second.
When it comes to web app, one of the most time consuming parts of any given snipe is moving your cursor from button to button.
With the shortfuts extension, you will be able to use hot keys instead of the cursor to give commands.
Here are my commands for using the extension (they are customizable):
Command + G – Buy Now
Backspace – back to Search Results
Right Arrow ➡ – next page
Left Arrow ⬅ – previous page
These four commands alone will make your sniping much quicker and more efficient.
Tip #2 – Use a broad ranging filter
The more players that come up in your filter, the better chance you have at getting a card for less than their actual value.
For example, if you were to snipe Manchester United players for the Marquee Matchup this week, would it be better to snipe a specific player (let’s say Fellaini) or to use a filter like gold – Manchester United – max BIN 1,200 coins?
Of course, the latter filter will give you more results, and thus more chances to win a snipe.
Tip #3 – Utilize the “59th minute” method
With this method, you’ll have to hit ‘next page’ (or right arrow if using the shortfuts extension) until you get to the 59th minute. Once you reach that page, quickly analyze the players available and pull the trigger on anyone undervalued.
Watch these tips in practice (no good snipes, unfortunately):

Thanks Chief,

How can i configure this?
Those should be automatically configured – try it in the web app.
Is it a good time to buy a lot of 85 if schmeicel as investments as his price is at 30k on PS4 or will his price drop further?
30k is a good buy.
You meant min bid 10k, not max bid, right?
Yes, that’s what I meant. I edited the post.
Is it a chance of using emotm for totks sbc? I want to gamble for this as publish emotm before totks is quite tricky
As in eMOTM cards being required for TOTKS SBCs? I guess that’s a possibility. There’s enough of a supply of them.
It’s really any mans guess what they will require. The only safe money is to sell in the hype with requirements they’ve used in the past (e.g. TOTGS cards for TOTKS SBCs, OTW cards for OTW SBCs).
Does EA ban for using those hotkeys?
I’ve noticed that they require you to prove you aren’t a bot a lot more when using the extension. Other than that, I haven’t had any issues.
chief,
does the web-app refresh auctions by going back and forward on the pages or do you have to make a new search request everytime i cant find anything nice at the 59th minute?
It doesn’t refresh if you go to a page you have already visited. For example, if I got from page 7 to page 8, then back to page 7, page 7 will not be refreshed.
Therefore, you need to make a new search request at the 59th minute.
May I ask why the totgs drop a lot today
Probably because investors have caught on to the fact that selling in the hype is the right option. If they drop to 15k, I’m going to buy – I have the coins to afford the risk at this point, and I think the reward could be really profitable.
So u think the totks sbc is still coming?
Yes – EA would be missing out on millions of revenue from packs if they didn’t release it. That is the #1 reason I think we will see it today.
Can this method also be done on mobile?
It would be less efficient as the hot keys are what really let’s you get snipes quickly. I’m not saying you wouldn’t be able to get deals – just that the web app would likely allow you to get more.
Shortkeys doesn’t work for me -. –
it works,but how do u get so fast to the 59.l minute
You just have to hit next page (I use the right arrow key) until you get there.
