Q & A Tuesday – Week 14
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!
Do you see 2if lewan as a good investment?
Like saint maximin his freeze was too expensive for People, but they wanted to try him so the if Rose in Price. Do you Think the same Thing Will happen to lewan?
Not too interested in him. I think he could dip if he gets a TOTY card soon, and expensive players don’t typically offer a great ROI anyways, especially with TOTY fast approaching.
hi chief.
i’ve tried to flip pirlo 92, bought him for 800k, now he’s constantly dropping… 670k… do you think he will rebounce within some days since it’s a prime and recent card? should I hold more and see if he reaches 750-800k again at least? what’s your suggestion?
Prime cards will continue to decrease as they get more supply, and expensive cards overall will continue to dip until TOTY. I’d make sure you offload this Thursday/Friday.
Hi mate,
I have 2.5 million liquid right now, fodders are high and most of the cards I used to flip are getting lower and lower. What would you consider is the best trading method for this days until TOTY, with my current budget?
Thanks!
It is still possible to flip cards on Thursdays for profit even as we approach TOTY. As always, the Top Buys are my favorite looks for investment. Keep in mind who might make it into TOTW 14 and other cards we have gotten recently and try to focus your flips on that. Mainly I focus on Icons when it comes to trading, and I anticipate another good Thursday/Friday this week.
Hi Chief, what is your approach to icons? Do you buy low and sell high or occasionally snipe to get a decent profit? Do you stick to your favorites or change according to the market demand? Thanks a bunch in advance!
I use CBP, but the basic approach is to compare recent sales on FUTBIN, then determine if there is enough room for profit based on that. Most of the best deals you are going to find are in or close to the 59th minute.
hello I want to learn trading and i am now practising with it do you have any tips and do you know when the market drops and go rise?
Hey Mohamed! “The market” doesn’t really exist. There are multiple different markets within FIFA (high rateds, informs, metas, Icons, RTTFs, etc). Each of them is impacted by different events, some you can predict and others you cannot. For example, the Icon market dipped yesterday from the release of the 3 new Icons, while the inform market rose because of inform requirements for the SBCs.
On the website, I give both general information regarding some investing strategies as well as specific tips. My current favorite investments are in the Top Buys section.
When do you think TOTY will come, and are there any investments to do for TOTY Chief ? And what are your thoughts about the market after TOTY, will it go up or down ?
The meta market usually bottoms on the Monday TOTY attackers is released, then rises substantially from there. As for investments for TOTY, it would actually be better to get liquid and buy during TOTY attackers. In year’s past, buying the current TOTW on the Monday of TOTY attackers and selling later that Thursday/Friday was a particularly good strategy. You can refer to TOTW 16 from last year.
Thanks Chief !
Hello Chief!
I’m pretty good in fodders trading (especially 87-88 ovr), have 21kk TP right now, but i’m still searching for daily flips / investments for MORNING hours. 90% of my investments are bought at 07:00 PM and later. Right now I have some time to spend and ~8.5kk to invest, but no ideas. I know, that I shouldn’t have my transfer list empty, that’s why I would like to ask you: do you have any advices for me how to trade between 08:00 AM and 04:00PM?
Thank you in advance!
Are you talking about UK time? Personally, CBP can be used at any hour, so that is why I like it. Otherwise, general sniping/mass bidding methods are going to be your next best bet.
Yup, UK Time works as well for me (1 hour difference). I can see, that bidding doesn’t work really good as it’s working in the evening. Anyway, just wanted to know if you can see any cards, which are on lower price level in the morning hours and can be sold during the day. Thanks mate.
It’s always possible – just have to be in the right place at the right time when the cards are dipping. If you familiarize yourself with some popular out of packs players and look at market sales history you might be able to catch on to some of their price fluctuations.
Do you think they will increase IF Toni Kroos price range. They lowered it to 70k and I’ve no idea why but I think it’s a dumb pr
Unless he goes extinct for an extended period of time, they won’t update his PR.
Any good Thursday flips? I have 500k and not a clue what to do
I posted one investment here, but it is for subscribers only. Otherwise, wait until TOTW 14 comes to see who might go up on Thursday after rewards.
Do you think ASM and Dembele will ride OOP? or drop with toty coming soon
I don’t think they will rise much with TOTY coming soon. I’d wait until TOTY attackers comes if you want to get them.
Hi Chief, Do you think Superlig, Liga Nos, CSL common golds are a good investment for Icon swaps part 2. Do you think some RTTF will drop 20-30k (Pogba,Alaba,Cancelo) during the crash and if so would it be a good investment at that price?
RTTF cards should rise from TOTY until their Knockout Stages in February. If you are looking for a good long term investment, they will be a good look.
Hi chief! For the thursday flip method do you buy early In the week, like monday, and then sell thursday after rewards? Is that the method? Btw, got rid of my IF2 tavern investments by listing for lazies. Also helped that he finally rose some though ,) Ty!
That’s usually the case, but not always. It depends on who you are targeting, too. Sometimes it is better to get TOTW confirmation on Wednesday, then invest afterwards. That is why you’ll often see me post Thursday Flips after Wednesday’s TOTW.
Great, thank you!
During TOTY attackers, the price seems to be the lowest and most cards rise again after that period. I am looking to buy 87/90 Dalglish and 88 Nakata. Any advice on when to buy these? Do you think these type of cards will be influenced by the TOTY decrease and increase as well? Thank you in advance Chief and also big thank you for all the recent posts. Made around 200k in one week, which made buying Dalglish possible ^^
Buying during TOTY attackers is probably the best time. Looks like we are going to have to wait a bit longer for that, though, given Headliners have been leaked in the code.
That is interesting. I would how the market will react to that.
Also, I saw that IF Koundé on PC already rose to 85k (I bought them for 71k on average). Is it greedy to still wait till Thursday/Friday or should I just sell?
Yep, I would wait until Thursday/Friday to sell.
Hey chief
Do you think that freeze players will drop when TOTY is announced? I’m considering selling my Gosens
Sounds like TOTY won’t come for a bit longer now that Headliners have been leaked in the code. Will be interesting to see how the market reacts this week.
Hi Chief – what price can you see rare gold cards rising to during TOTY?
It looks like Headliners is coming first now instead. Not sure what SBCs will come with that.
Hi Chief, looks like Benzema and Suarez haven’t moved much in price the past few days. Do you think they’ll change anymore between now and them going back into packs?
They will likely go down after going into packs. I would sell.
How do you know what cards goes out of packs and what cards return to packs? Is there a web page where you can check this or inside-information?
TOTW golds always go out of packs at 6pm on Wednesday, then go back into packs the following Wednesday at 6pm when the new TOTW comes.
Aha, gottcha! Thanks!
Hi chief, i have just packed David alaba rttf, he fits in my team perfectly, do u think i should sell him or keep him because bayern can go very far in the champions league. Also, is it worth investing in Bundesliga rares for the TOTY upgrade packs?
Usually RTTF cards continue to go down until TOTY, but now that Headliners is coming Friday instead, it will be interesting to see how it changes. I wouldn’t bother with BuLi rares now that TOTY isn’t coming for a bit.
Hi chief!
I have theo hernandez 86 and lozano 86, with the headliners coming on friday would be wise to sell them?
Cheers
That’s probably smart. Hard to say if it’s better to sell today before loading screens or tomorrow after WL rewards, though.
Will you post investments for Headliner release?
Yes – I’ll probably make a list of gold cards you can invest in that will go out of packs.
When I should sell in-form Mkhitaryan and Tavernier. Sell now or wait?
I would sell and reinvest in TOTW 14 fodder. I’ll have an investment post coming about them today or tomorrow.
Hi Chief, why 83 Otavio is still at 17k even if he’s been oop for a few weeks? Others 83’s with worse nation and league like Vlasic are at 23k min
Looks like he is up more now – there is general low supply of 83 rated informs, and the Icon SBC helps.
Yeah but I still don’t understand why he’s not up like the others, do you think that 83 Stindl can reach 23k or will settle at Otavio’s price?
He might eventually, but usually it is better to sell after a week and reinvest in the current TOTW. That typically offers the best ROI.
