PSA: Sell Your Squads
With 2 major promotions coming up over the course of the next week (Winter OTW on Friday, February 1st and Lunar New Year next Tuesday, February 5th or Friday, February 8th) the market is surely going to take a tumble.
Here is how these promotions affected the market in FIFA 18:
I recommend to get ahead of the curve and sell your teams before OTW releases Friday at 6PM UK time.
Cheers,
Chief
Hey chief,
Sell UEL Rebic at 42k ? Bought 10 at 30k.
what if your team only contains special cards? sell too?
the last two times i did it they continued to rise and i couldnt even buy them back :/
my theory is, that everyone selling his team and having loads of coins wants to buy special cards of cause, so the demand rises while the amount of special cards wich are out of packs stays the same..
at the latest when winter upgrades come special cards will rise again anyways, so no need to sell? or will they crash anyways
I recommend doing your own research on special cards from FIFA 18 during that period if you are skeptical. As always, players that are in packs will be more affected than players that are out of packs.
Hey chief, started playing fifa 19 last week so not to sure what is happening. Have been playing since fifa 14 so I know what’s going on.
I’m in the UK so what time would you recommend selling the team.
Just the special cards or every cards? Any specific ones? And then when should I buy the team back?
Thanks cheif!
Cards that are in packs will be the most affected. Buy back after the Lunar New Year promotions.
will special cards fall too?
will winter upgrades compensate the possible crash?
I don’t think winter upgrades will compensate.
Hey Chief,
Is it also an idea to sell the squad on Sunday after WL. Or will the market collapse before?
What about UCL live cards? They seem to be rising as it is getting closer to the knockout stage. Thanks Chief in advance.
They will likely hold their price. As always, players that are in packs will be the most affected.
I’ve got pulisic ucl live card they gonna play Spurs you reckon the price going to decrease
many thanks
His price won’t be as affected.
He is on Chelsea now. Chelsea plays Malmö. Chelsea will likely win. It’s unlikely Pulisic will decrease.
He’s still at Dortmund on loan until the end of the season so the Chelsea result will not matter in regards to his rating.
Yep, my mistake.
Hi chief, I’m still holding on to the 82 rated IFs from TOTW19. Bought at 16k and they are now ~20k. Since they are out of packs is it safe to hold through the promos or sell now? Happy with the profit but could see them going up another 5k.
Thanks!
They will rise gradually with time or rapidly if required for SBCs.
Hey chief
when do you think is the best time to buy your team
The market will continue to decrease with time. ‘Best time’ is subjective based on your own circumstances.
With best time i mean the market crash wait until promo’s are over or buy them when the promo’s begin
Ask me again when the promos drop.
Hey chief,
i just wanted to ask now the promo’s are dropped it the best time to buy now my team or after the promo’s
I’d hold off on buying a team for now. Lunar New Year will have a lot of pack promotions and likely drive down the market even further.
Hey chief I have nif pogba,Kante,mbappe,Alex Sandro, varane and couloirs should I sell them and buy them during promo/crash or hang on to them in case they raise
I would do what I said in this post.
Chief I packed Bergkamp 90 and cancelo 87 from a futswap mega pack! I have a 400k team…
Should I sell them and build a team or hold on to them?
As I just said in this post, now is not a good time to buy a team. I would sell and make investments or hold coins until after the promos.
Thanks you so much for all the help on this site…Much appreciated!
Hey Chief, so would i sell my dembele OTW cards now or wait until the promo has released?
I’d sell in the hype.
Chief, I can’t sell my team cause I don’t have empty space in my transfer list.. How to solve this?
Open space on your transfer list.
How?
Sell players in your transfer list.
I trust you man I sold my hole team and hope it will become cheaper
Even icons? Baby gattuso and zola
As I’ve said, players that are in packs will be the most affected.
Icons too?
Players who are in packs will be the most affected. That includes icons.
Hi Chief do you think is worth buying 84’s to resell, they are hoovering around 3.4-3.6, with a possiblity of an SBC?
With the right SBC they will go up. Just have to cross your fingers we’ll get it. Same goes for 83s.
Thanks!
What about OTW cards like Dembele, Golovin and Diaz? Should I keep them for the upcoming days?
They will rise if required for desired OTW SBCs. They will fall if not.
Hi chief, looking at the figures above on this post, would it be a decent strategy to buy players on the launch of the event, then sell a week later when the numbers pick up. Looking at the above chart it looks like after 10-11 days after first promo is released the figures bounce back 10% before dropping at the next promo.
We will have to see what the promotion is first. EA put out an interesting card design that could be different than OTW.
Pulisic ucl card is going to change to europa league?
Thank you

thought the pulisic transfer was next season? similar to naby keita last year?
You are right. My mistake.
I bought him for 32k should I keep him?
Hi chief, many thanks for your insight. I’ve made millions based on your posts!
About this sell squad thing, this is specific for the Gold/In-packs or all in general?
Just to confirm.
Players in packs will be affected the most.
