Q & A Tuesday – Week 22
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!
Hi Chief
What are your thoughts on OYARZABAL – Real Sociad risky because reals next game is against Madrid but could come off and the price of the card would increase loads currently 88 rated headliner Spanish in la Liga for 50k.
Insigne 87 RTTF I bought a few early at £122k and it is are currently at 150k so already made a profit, Napoli should win against Granada at home so think he could also increase a good amount if that happens, again a risk but favourable.
Varane with the Kroos flashback coming?
Allan OTW card?
I appreciate your feedback Chief.
Thanks Ash
If you are buying Headliners and RTTF players in hopes they win their games, you are gambling rather than investing. That is your call.
Varane kind of depends on how expensive Kroos is an how much of the community completes him. There is also a chance we don’t see him at all.
Not that interested in Allan.
Do you post icon investments on premium?
Not typically – sometimes with Thursday Flips but that’s it.
Hi Chief!
If Chelsea golds are required in today’s UCl marquee matchup, when do you think is the best time to sell? Or they will be the highest if they are required in Thursday’s marquee matchup? It’s like a gamble right?
Yes, they will only go up if they are required. If you are concerned, you could sell some in the hype and likely take some small profits before content is released. If you gamble and hold and they are required, so in the first hour after the SBC is released.
Hello Chief,
When do you think the winter upgrades will be released?
Not sure – I’m hoping for Friday, but their calendar is different this year so no way of knowing. Cross your fingers for loading screens.
Hey Chief,
I bow to your supreme knowledge of all things FUT trading and thank you for some great advice.
Sorry if this question is covered elsewhere but as a sturdier of FUT, what would your advice be regarding the weekly rewards?
Take the coins.
Take the tradeable packs.
Take the extra untradeable packs for SBC’s?
Cheers in advance.
This kind of depends. At the beginning of the year when supply is low and demand is high, prices are high for a lot of cards, so the chances you profit by taking the tradeable packs is better. This also applies when the SBC fodder/high rated market is high for SBCs. I still think coins are a better bet typically, but those are the things you have to consider, too.
Cheers for the reply and keep up the sterling work. Your profit is awesome.
Hi Chief,
Is there any thumb rule how much percent of the your budget should be put on investment?
Do you use any rule regarding how much player do you buy from each type? (for example you buy maximum 5-10 players regardless from his price)
It is pretty subjective based on each persons individuals situation. For me, I don’t invest at all actually because I have a lot of coins/time available, and CBP is the best for that. It’s up to you how you choose to invest, but just keep in mind cheaper players tend to have to best ROI, and that it is always best to diversify.
Hi Chief,
As we know winter upgrade is coming, so the IF card upgrade automatically ?? For eg. SON and Kane. I have their IF cards, should i sell it now or wait for Winter upgrade?
Help appreciate !
upgrades only if rating is matched. For son, IF to 89 and POTM to 90, and Kane’s IF to 90
yeah. But it will automatically upgrade the old card right ?? or the new card will available in market ???
The upgraded gold card will be new, but the other specials will just update the old cards.
Super.. now i can only pray that both my card will get an upgrade so i can sell them on higher price 😅😅😅🙌🏻🙌🏻
They won’t necessarily get an upgrade. If a player is expected to get an upgrade, it is usually best to sell their specials in the hype before the announcement.
ohh… ok cool. I got your point !
Hi chief, got a few estupinan ffs still in my transfer list. Should i just sell or do you see him rising a little more?
I think he could still rise more come Thursday/Friday. I would get out before 6pm Friday, though.
Hi Chief , I have a Mkhi which I picked up for 70k , wasn’t really an investment was trying him out , he’s at 110k now , hold or sell ?
I’d sell on Thursday/Friday, but would definitely get out before 6pm Friday. I think the next promo will send the market down a bit.
Hey Chief,
I had bought a few Emi Martinez 84 IFs. Roughly how much do you think he will go up? Because I was wondering whether to invest in EuropaLeague Tadic or Taison.
Kind of depends on what we get. If we get upgrades, he would increase for that. If we got a repeatable TOTW SBC, he would decrease for that. If we got another Party Bag, he would increase for that. Overall, he will just gradually rise with time. List for lazies in the meantime.
Hi Chief,,
Rumour is that Antony will get a skill move and weak foot upgrade in his future stars upgrade with Winter Refresh. Any truth in this? Trying desperately hard to keep Klaiber in my team but struggling with links.
No idea. I think everything is just rumors at this point.
No worries,
Any other suggestions on how to keep Klaiber in the team?
Hi Chief, do you recommend buying gold premium packs (25k) and re-selling for someone with a budget around 100-150k coins?
This isn’t a good plan – buying packs is far from a viable coin making strategy.
I sold my Estupians for 37k to lazy buyers. Do I buy a few more if I can find them for around 33k
86s have all risen, and Estupinian with them. You can probably flip them if you can get them for around the price of the cheapest 86 on the market.
Hi chief.
there are rumours of a what if promo releasing. Do you think this could replace winter upgrade and ruin the hype that my 2if martinez investments rely on?
Martinez is already the cheapest 84 rated inform. An upgrade would help, but it is not the only reason he would rise after going OOP.
Tadic is now at 2,4k time to sell ?
HI, i think its best to risk and wait to see it tadic is in totw today at 6pm UK time. he would rise significantly more- and you could make more profit. but its your choice…
If he makes TOTW, he will go up a bit. If he doesn’t, he will likely drop a bit. If we get some sort of SBC is desirable and requires 83s, he will go up. If we don’t get any SBCs that require fodder anytime soon, he will drop. His price movement is pretty dependent on content, so I can’t really say a perfect time to sell.
Do we sell some tadics now incase he doesn’t get one?
that could be smart-yes..
Usually it is best to hedge your bet and diversify your selling strategy. Haller has a good chance at making it, too.
Hi Chief ,
I have a bunch of 2nd if andre silva’s all bought between 20-23k . Should I cash out now or wait for the winter upgrade since he would go to an 86 then and the cheapest 86 if is 50k and he is 33k atm . He does have a PR of 35k tho so will ea upgrade that if he gets an upgrade ?
Doesn’t look like we will be getting Winter Upgrades. I would just sell and take your profit.
Is this a hunch or confirmed anywhere? I have loads invested for winter refresh 🙁
Confirmed – it was leaked in the Xbox store earlier today.
Sorry to go on about it but all I can find is the following:
“Fans expected the next FIFA Ultimate Team promotion to be Winter Refresh based on previous FUT years. It seems EA Sports has put that promotion on the backburner in favor of What if. “
did the leak you see definitely state there would be no winter refresh?
Thanks again
They accidentally leaked a ‘What If’ promo in the Xbox, so yes, pretty sure it is confirmed.
During rewards (Monday and Thursday) do highish valued players decrease in price like low meta players do? Is it worth investing in these as well? Like varane, Salah etc
Investing as in buying during rewards, and selling a couple days later/whenever they go up
A little, but usually not by enough to cover tax.
Rip my tadic investments
yup
Hey chief, do you think the tadics will rise back slightly after people finish panic selling or will they stay ~1.6k on Xbox?
He is still one of the cheapest 83s, so his value with move according to the SBCs we get that move 83s.
