Q & A Tuesday – Week 47

A weekly thread meant for discussion about anything and everything related to the FUT market. Pose your questions about player prices, investing and trading strategies, or upcoming events. I will answer questions as quickly as I can, but if you can respond before I do, feel free to hop in the conversation!
Also, follow my on Twitter if you don’t already!

Chief, what would you say is the first couple of steps you want to be sure you do right when fifa19 comes out? I noticed before thats a lot of money to be made on the first days/week after fifa release..
1. Use coin boosts in the FIFA catalog to establish an initial coin base
2. Find a filter related to the advanced SBCs to snipe/flip players
3. Invest in base OTW cards such as Keita
Hey Chief, should I continue to keep the special cards I bought for SBCs or should I dispose of them? It seems that most SBCs are only using TOTW and TOTS..
What special cards are you speaking of?
Chief, for the sniping filters page on the website, does the “max bin” mean what the player regularly sells for or what I should snipe it for?
It depends. You need to search on your own console what they are going for at the given moment. Then snipe for at least 5% less than that amount, because that is the cut EA takes in tax when you sell them.
OTW, Scream, FUT Birthday, etc.. Will these cards still be needed for SBCs? What do you think?
I doubt it – I’d probably just get rid of them.
Thanks chief :)
I packed 87 Larson out of a 2 player untradeable pack and submitted him into the del piero sbc for the 100k pack. At this stage in the game, is it worth completing the sbc now that the icon is out of the way (would play del p at centeral cam in 4231 if I got him)
If you have the itch to open some packs, then it’s not a bad idea. The remaining cost of the SBC is about 350-400k, and that is what his tradeable version is going for at the moment.
His passing dribbling shooting look great but I just don’t know if a player with such low strength and balance with mediocre pace is worth it
At this stage in the game, there are tons of players with far superior stats that you could get for 350-400k. Personally, I wouldn’t do it.
