Q & A Tuesday – Week 34
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!
Firmino has gone back down 10k to 190 is waiting til Wednesday still the best idea or do I just sell now
I would wait until Thursday/Friday when people build around their WL rewards and guaranteed PL TOTS SBC players.
What SBC fodder for the BPL guaranteed pack would you suggest we invest in?
Players in my Top Buys are always my favorite investment looks.
he is still 195 do i sell today or wait until tomorrow
I don’t think it will make a huge difference, but I would definitely sell before 6pm UK time tomorrow.
Do you recommend buying cheaper players like Upamecano/Sancho before they go OOP? How much do you think they will rise?
There is 1 other guy in my BuLi TOTS prediction that I like as a gold investment – I’ll be posting about him Tuesday or Wednesday.
what about bundesliga gold rares? if bundesliga 4 rares sbc comes in next monday will they up?
They might go up, too, but I wouldn’t be investing this early. There are other looks that will offer you a more immediate return.
Shall i sell in form investments now like javi Martinez and jarstein? Or are they set to rise even more
If EA don’t release some sort of SBC or way to introduce high rated, tradable TOTW cards onto the market then they will continue to rise. No one knows for sure. I’d try hedging your bet and selling half to take at least some of the profit – maybe invest it somewhere else.
Is it worth buying fifa points right now? I recently started playing and have 84 rated 100 chem team, and 66k in coins. What can I do to quickly increase my coins? Most advice I see are for higher rated players that are out of budget, and the SBCs for good players demand a high rated squad.
I do have a fitness squad so I have stopped buying fitness consumables.
Here’s my squad – https://drive.google.com/file/d/14J0ZUse_xXWZfPy_wXoVYO7tvOOOLAuY/view?usp=drivesdk
Any general advice on which players I should get, or to improve the team?
Thank you very much!
I don’t ever recommend buying FIFA points, really. Obviously it is the quickest way to get coins, but it will set you back a lot of money.
In general, you can either trade or invest to make coins. Trading is buying now and selling now (through sniping or bidding) and investing is buying now and selling later. My ‘Top Buys’ has my favorite investments, and the Sniping Filters page has some of my favorite players to trade.
Completing SBCs or opening packs in general is going to be inconsistent. You might get Ronaldo, or you might get shit. I prefer trading/investing as I believe it is a more efficient way of making coins/hour.
Hi chief, for logic the best time to buy epl tots should be thursday when the rewards are on but the price is already very low and I am in division 2 and I can’t see many teams using epl tots, I really got the feeling that everybody is waiting for thursday to buy epl tots. From your experience when is the best time to buy tots now or thursday?
Thanks!
I would wait to buy until Thursday during rewards.
Hi chief price went up and not down.
De bruyne was 2.7 now 3.25
Mane 1.45 now 1.75
Son 1.1 now 1.55
Aguero 1.6 now 1.9
etc. etc.
Yep and they are continuing to rise…screwed me over too as was waiting for Henderson and just had enough cash at his lowest (460ish)….now he’s shot over 600k
In fact now u- to 640k…bloody hell
Big mistake chief BIG mistake we could make millions in few days
It’s all about ROI – don’t be fooled by looking at how many coins you make per card, percentage is more important. But yes, they performed well.
Hi chief,
I invested 1 million on Firminos and upon your advice, I will sell on Thursday, my question is when can I buy my team using that investment money?
The market is low now, would it be wiser to sell my firminos now and build my team?
Kind of depends on the players you plan on buying, but in general I’d say that Firmino has much more room to rise % wise than the players you plan to buy in all likelihood. I’d wait until Thursday to sell him.
i have invested in 87, 88 and 89 rated players for the sbc on Thursday. What rated team do you think will need for the sbc? 87 rated with totssf or 88 with totssf?
We will see – considering how expensive the average PL TOTS player is, it will need to be fairly high rated.
I bought a lot of bundesliga players last week, but they all went down a lot in price. Werner headliners more then 100k for example.
Do you think I should sell them now or keep them?
I think the whole market will increase leading up to Thursday/Friday as people build around their new rewards. I’d look to sell then.
Do you consider it a good investment to buy maicon, petros and carlos eduardo TOTS to sell them on Thursday?
I’d prefer to buy players that are out of packs rather than in packs as there will be a lot of supply coming from lightning rounds this weekend.
How likely is it that Serie A is actually coming out this weekend and not BuLi? Cheers
There are now also rumors of La Liga being Friday. We will see.
Hi Chief,
Was just wondering when you think the best time to buy shapeshifters CR7 is. He’s dropped from around 2 mil to 1.6 on PS. I have 4.4 million and only need TOTSSF Renato (fingers crossed) alongside this CR7 to make my team work. Reckon he’ll dip into the 1.4’s in the next couple of weeks?
I think the market will begin to rise starting tomorrow for the next few weeks, so I would buy sooner than later.
Will fut birthday hazard and griezmann’s price get lower as we get close to TOTS La Liga?
I think the whole market will rise come Thursday/Friday as people build around their new and shiny TOTS rewards, actually.
Randell Williams is now under 13k on PS. Do you think he’ll go up eventually?
Eventually? Maybe. But I would sell as I think you’ll be sacrificing opportunity costs. There will be other, better investments soon – I’m just waiting to see what the next TOTS squad has in store for us.
I packed a tradable TOTS Henderson today! I feel like his price will rise once he is out of packs but I am not positive. When do you think will be the best time to sell?
The question is a bit more complicated than that, because you can technically sell him and reinvest those coins into things that will offer you a better ROI. Refer to this article for a bit more detail https://www.futchief.com/2018/09/29/chiefs-official-response-to-when-should-i-sell-__________/
All those investments everyone told us to invest in like All the 86 87 88 didn’t rise today for the TOTS sbc instead they went down it’s funny cuz only the la Liga 85s 86s 88s 89 went up like Ramos alba Marcelo how come hummels Werner kimmich insigne and other high rated cards go up?
Barcelona players and other La Liga in general did well because there are a lot of La Liga players who are among the cheapest for their respective ratings (Griezmann, Suarez, Ter Stegen, Busquets, etc). They were featured in a lot of the cheapest solutions.
In addition, 86s in general don’t seem to be in many cheapest solutions when it comes to 88 rated squad requirements. I’ll remember this going forward.
Fair enough I invested I a lot of players you said I have about 100 of hummels kimmich werner insigne muller and TOTS dean Henderson when will they go up like the LA Liga players did and went to sell them
It likely won’t be any time soon. I’m waiting until we see what happens in loading screens tomorrow before I decide where to go next for investments.
So what should I do with those investments that you said to invest in cuz I put 2 million on them and the transfer list is full did I take a big loss or will they rise later on should I sell now or just wait?
Wait until 6pm uk time to see if they hint at what league comes next in the loading screens – it is sounding like it will be La Liga, but we could get lucky with BuLi.
If it isn’t Bundesliga, sell and move on.
Should I sell them or just wait till Bundesliga comes out and sell them then? And I invested in loads of la Liga gold rare pachecos for 750-850 coins will he go up if la Liga comes out today?
Pacheco will rise a bit if La Liga is hinted at today, yes.
Thank you so much for advice re UCL and German players. I’ve made 800k profit this week so far. 99 rated KDB before the end of the month hopefully. Keep up the amazing work, thank you.
UCLs were good, but German players? Which did you buy?
I spent a lot on Dortmund players just above discard and made a nice profit last night on the marquee matchup. Hoping to do the same next week with the same strategy. Thanks again
Why’d you pick Dortmund? There likely won’t be another UEFA MM next week as this week would have been the 2nd leg of the semifinals.
I bought my normal 50, knowing I can blast them in a couple of hours. Bought all for less than 1k so if I don’t sell, discard at 650 for minimal loss. Profits made far outweigh the loss of a couple I can’t sell. Had 5 left this morning so good business.
👍
Hi chief, shall I sell my tots Robertson before tonight because of the expected upgrade packs or shall I hold fire until Friday?
Firmino still going down, he’s at 190k now, sell now or wait til Friday
I don’t think it will make much of a difference – I’d sell and take your profit.
Hi chief,
Muller, Werner and Kimmich are all down in price, still time to invest in them?
No, the Top Buys haven’t been updated. I’m waiting to see what TOTS EA hints at in there loading screens later today.
Hey Chief, do you think rashford tots will be at a higher price today/tomorrow. Or next Thursday/Friday once he’s out of packs. Looking to sell him.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance mate.
I’d wait to buy until after WL on Sunday/Monday – I looked at prices from last year and a lot of PL TOTS prices dipped after the WL.
Hi. I want to buy giovinco for WL is it best to buy him now or at like midnight tonight or early tomorrow morning? Thanks
Really hard to say on that one to be honest. I’d buy him sooner than later to get to play with him a bit before WL.
