Q & A Tuesday – Week 17
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!
Too late to get in on the Ben yedder and insigne train this week?
Should still be some coins to be made from them, so long as they make TOTW 17.
Hey chief! Typically looking at graphs suggest cheapest time to buy OOP specials is just b4 toty promo, however that was helped with WL sell off and when TOTY was on monday. Looking at this year theres more reasons for TOTY to start this friday, considering thats the case, what wud u suggest the cheapest time to buy is ? Considering Thursday is when market usually starts to rise
A Friday release would mean that the market would likely follow a more similar pattern to how it does for Black Friday, in which case it is often best to buy Wednesday before the promotion. I think that is only aided by the fact people are becoming impatient and sick of waiting with such a late TOTY release this year.
When do i sell Barella, Insigne, Yedder, Ndombele etc?
You can either sell shortly after the TOTW announcement on Wednesday once they are confirmed out of packs, or you can hold for the week in hopes they rise. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don’t – not always easy to predict what will happen. TOTY maybe bring upgrade SBCs from leagues, though, and in the past that meant good things for players like Ndombele and Barella.
Once TOTW.comes out and a player goes out of packs. Will listing the player be a guaranteed sale?
Depends what price you list them at. Sometimes going out of packs causes a player to rise a bit from rash investors, especially if the player going out of packs is unexpected.
At what price range would it be an almost guaranteed sale?
I don’t have an answer to this, unfortunately. Not only is there no ‘guarantee’, but I also don’t know which player you are talking about, and I don’t know which console you are on. Prices rise a bit when they are confirmed in TOTW, typically.
Hi Chief! What’s your look on Kjaer and Alvaro? Seem to be pretty cheap atm and both tend to rise in price quite steaply when needed in SBCs. With Milan – Atalanta and Monaco – Marseille this weekend (no Serie A and Ligue 1 in current matchups), I’m considering to invest in them for MM.
It’s possible. Pretty hit or miss investing in MM – just need to cross your fingers for good requirements.
Hi Chief, my first post here! I invested in a few Insigne and he’s currently at 19k, should I wait until tomorrow after totw is out or sell already? I bought at 18k so my profit is very minimal. Also Thoughts on when to sell Hinteregger? should I wait for the match or is he over-invested already? Also thoughts on Nesyri, should I sell tomorrow or Thursday? he is still not rising :/
I would wait until TOTW comes out to sell Insigne at the earliest. I think he has a good chance at rising while OOP, too – just cross your fingers for some high rated SBCs. I would sell Hinteregger before their match. En-Nesyri still isn’t even out of packs, and we haven’t gotten any SBCs that require informs recently, so there is no reason he would have risen yet. Cross your fingers that we get some in the coming days.
Hi Chief, what would you say is your most effective way of making coins atm, sniping/ investing etc?.
That depends on a lot of factors, including budget and time available, among others. CBP generally can generate the most coins/hour, but when new SBCs come out there are often good sniping options available. Investing is good for people with low time and bigger budgets.
Is cbp used on a pc/laptop or can it be used on mobile phone ?
Nope, only can be used on PC/Laptop.
Hi Chief !
Bruno Fernandes head is a good long term invest ?
If he gets a TOTY card, that would likely drive his price down more. Think there are better long-term investments to use in your squad than him. RTTF cards have done well in the past from TOTY to the knockout stages.
Hey chief what’s your take on Mike Maignan 84 IF only 18k French GK and Ligur POTM only a few days away would it be worth an investment? Cheers
He is a good look considering he is the cheapest 84 rated inform. Don’t think a Ligue 1 POTM will have too much effect on his price, though.
You Think there Will be content tonight that makes if Mee go up in price. He’s gone down to 15 k
The lack of recent SBCs doesn’t help inform prices, Mee included. I would sell before PL informs return to packs on Wednesday.
But wait and see for content tonight?
You can wait, but I don’t think it will effect his price too much to be honest.
When is the best time to buy the “current” totw during toty release?
current as in the totw out tomorrow
Probably Saturday/Sunday so long as TOTY is released into packs on Friday.
Does this change depending on which players are out e.g midfielders, defenders/full team. Or if just attackers come out will that be good enough pack supply.
I think attackers will be good enough supply. My thinking is still Wednesday for buy time.
Hi Chief!
I´m looking to buy IF Messi when tots comes out/is announced as a part of my team. Would you say this is an OK investment, or do you think he will continue dropping?
He might dip a bit with TOTY loading screens but long-term he should be safe considering how is 1IF performed last year.
Thanks! So buying as TOTY comes out would be best bet?
The difference is that last year TOTY was on a Monday, which coincides with WL sell off. I think buying on Wednesday will be a better move this year instead (tomorrow).
When to buy neymar and mbappe, will maybe fall, as they might be in packs for toty? Could also rise if going oop for toty
I think buying tomorrow is the move. I think the meta market will go up after rewards and leading to TOTY, actually.
When to buy the TOTW 17s? Heard they go up a lot
Probably on Saturday/Sunday. I’ll be posting my favorite looks with buy prices later this week.
Ok, thanks!
Hi Chief
Subscriber here and first time posting. Firstly, thanks for your work. As a 9-5 worker and full time dad I have little time for hobbies but with your guidance I have started really enjoying trading in the little spare time I may get in the evenings.
I, like many, am currently watching the meta cards fall (Rashford, Kante, Varane etc) and am wondering if there is still the oportunity to flip these or if perhaps sales are too infrequent now and I may end up stuck with them and having to break even or take a loss. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the kind words!
They might be opportunity to flip them, but to be honest at this stage of the game people are moving on from those kind of players. I think there are more interesting looks for investment in the coming days. I have my eyes on a few, but I’m waiting to see what kind of content/loading screens we get today/tomorrow before posting. Keep an eye out.
Zlatan in totw. What do you think?
Failing that I would say at 83 and Serie A he looks like good SBC fodder either way
It is possible, but considering his tweet from a few months back EA might hesitate to include him.
RB douglas costa a good investment for TOTY?
I assume you are considering him because of his links to Bayern players that should make TOTY like Kimmich, Davies, and Lewandowski. He is pretty good. I’m even more interested in Alaba as RTTF players generally rise from TOTY leading up to their knockout matches, too.
Yes, because of links. Right now I have 200k, if I sell costa I can buy alaba. What do you think I should do? Keep or swap?
If you are looking for a long-term hold, I think Alaba is a better move. If you are looking to flip in the next week or so, I’d say you can stick with Costa.
Should I invest in Milan and Athletico players for the upcoming Marquee Matchups?
You could, but MM investing is pretty hit or miss. Cross your fingers for strong requirements and good rewards.
Hey chief! Can you explain what is CBP? Can u explain how to do it and why it works etc. I have no idea what it is. Keep up the great work as always!
You can check out this article that describes it. I also have some tutorial videos, but they are for subscribers only.
do you think that Bruno TOTGS will drop after his toty release ?
Yes, I think he will dip if he makes TOTY.
Hey Chief,when to buy players like R9(94) and R10(91)?And when to buy PL META players just like mane
s spcial cards rashfords special cards?TY Bro, Cheers!!!I think Wednesday is the time to buy – I think the market will start to move after rewards on Thursday even though pack openings for TOTY aren’t until Friday.
