Q & A Tuesday – Week 2
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!
I’ll be heading into the full release on Friday with about 250k – is this a good amount to start flipping low rated icons as they might drop with people opening a lot of packs?
There are always opportunities to flip icons – I’ve been doing it since last Thursday. For CBP, I’d suggest 500k to start so you can be flipping 2-3 at a time right away.
Eyo Chief, is there a specific date when to start investing in high rated fodder, I have about 2mil laying around and want the highest ROI. Icon investing is not my thing tho.
I don’t think investing in high rateds should be done any time soon. It took them some time to start rising in FIFA 21, and I anticipate that to be the case this year as well.
what about possible mbappe potm sbc?
Not many people have that many coins to complete him
Don’t think that will have much impact on high rateds. There aren’t enough people that have the funds available to complete him.
How does flipping work?
There are different strategies depending on what you are flipping. What cards did you have in mind?
I would love to know how flipping icons work!
CBP is useful for Icons. Essentially you do 3 things:
1. Get to the 59th minute
2. Look at new listings
3. Look at recent sales on FUTBIN to determine if there is enough room for profit
Usually I aim to get 10k or 3%, whichever is greater. That means if an Icon is 200k, I want to make at least 10k off of him. If an Icon is 500k, I want to make 15k, and if an Icon is 1 mil, I want to make 30k.
shall I invest in morales? good striker for your starter team. and what will it be worth in the future?
Not that interested in him – he is pretty low rated & I think the players in my Top Buys offer more potential.
Happy New (FIFA) Year Chief! 😀
Do you have any thoughts on how the market is going to go on release day?
Say I’ve got Werner who’s going for 50k. Is the smart play:
A) Hold for release expecting a big jump in price on the day?
B) Take the 50k now & complete the SBC’s expecting the gatekeepers to have an even bigger jump on release?
C) Take the 50k now & do some investments whilst prices are still fairly low?
I was going for A, he’s a pacey Prem 84 ST so I’m thinking 100-150k similar to Martial last year
But after hearing about all the changes this year maybe I should be thinking differently?
Usually I would take C. This year’s market is different than last year’s for several reasons, including:
1. Addition of preview packs
2. Lack of rivals placements rewards
3. Higher pack weight
4. 4.6k FIFA points with Ultimate Edition
These have unsurprisingly caused the market to be substantially lower than last year.
Cheers Chief!
Yeah there’s definitely been some market correction from EA
Unless EA tinkers with things down the line, I get the impression that investments & lucky pulls are going to be the only way to make decent coin this edition
Yo Chief, I was lucky to snipe 3x renato Sanches, he’s extinct on pc at least. You think his price range will get updated again, or will he just go down after full release and after all the supply that’s coming on Friday. If you think he’s price range will get updated… then what’s you’re opinion on investing in to gelson martins. since he’s strong linking to Renato, and we saw the same thing with lacroix and players around he’s position from Wolfsburg yesterday, all of them literally skyrocketed yesterday.
Renato has been dipping since the PR update on Xbox. Usually that doesn’t bode well for other consoles. As for links, there are a lot more options for linking a CM than a defender, so I don’t think Gelson Martins is a great look. He is pretty low rated, too.
Hi I packed Icon Desailly 87 , on pc it’s selling for max price and there’s 0 on the market should i sell now or should i hold ? I dont plan to do trading this year I just want to get the most from him
Nice pack! I’d probably just sell for 700k. Don’t think he will go too much higher than that considering his Xbox & PS price.
Should I be selling all my players like Haaland, Werner, Aguero, Marquinhos etc to invest in your top buys?
The players in Top Buys are my favorite looks on the market, all things considered (ROI potential, risk, hold time, etc). I will almost always recommend selling cards in favor of them.
Hi Chief, I packed Wijnaldum yesterday. Is it worth keeping hold of to see if he makes it into team 1 of OTW?
Don’t think so. Problem with OTW is that we don’t know which team they will be in – it could be Team 1, mini release for Team 1, Team 2, or mini release for Team 2.
What are you looking for when it comes to OTW?
OTW golds? Kind of have to wait and see. No way of knowing which team a card will be in, so that makes investing a bit tricky.
Hi Chief, technical question. Maybe should ask in the Discord, but I took advantage of your offer of rest of September full access for the Bronze Tier. Will I automatically go Bronze tier again on 1 October? I want to upgrade and keep Discord access.
Yep, you’ll be Bronze automatically again in October. That is fine, though – you’ll be able to update your membership and just pay the difference.
Is it worth investing in the cheap 83s which are <1k or too early?
Think it’s too early. Took a while for high rateds to rise in FIFA 21, and I think it will be the same for FIFA 22.
Hi Chief. I got a couple of meta players like Martial, Klostermann, Diego Carlos, Muriel, Daka etc. Should I keep them till release or even first WL or sell them? Btw thanks for the tips about Asensio I can’t wait for totw 2 🙂
I’m not completely convinced they will rise going into next WL – just a little low rated so they are packed a lot. Fingers crossed for Asensio!
Is it worth holding out on asensio or should we sell in the hype?
I think he is worth holding. Maybe take out profits on the way up at 2k, 2.5k, and 3k.
Hi Chief I have some questions 1. Is it late to invest in Luis Dias team of the week? And question 2. What do you think of Luis Suarez? It can go up because of its high rating
1. Luis Dias is still a good look! Aim for 14k.
2. I think it will take too long for high rated cards to rise. I’m focusing on players with more in-game usability and/or OOP players for the time being.
Just packed Xavi mid and therefore 475k to invest. What are good investments for the very short term or 1st weekend league? Is Kante a good one? Is now 473k and will it increase significantly? Or other players? I really want to get to 800 or 900k. Other trading tips I’m also curious about
Nice pack! The Top Buys are all sells before the 1st WL. Generally it is better to invest in cheaper players – they often get you a better ROI. Turning 473k of Luis Diaz into 800/900k is much more likely to happen than Kante rising to 800/900k.
so your advice is to buy around 50 diaz? and when this sell?
There isn’t an exact sell time. You sell when you are happy with the profit and/or see a better investment opportunity. 3-5k would be solid for him, and you wouldn’t want to hold longer than 1-2 weeks.
thx for your thelp 🙂
Hey chief, should I sell Gomez or wait him to possible raise on official release. Also what should I do with Martial and is it worth to buy some players like Upamecano and Haaland
They might rise leading up to the full release, but I think the increase will be marginal in comparison to the other players in my Top Buys. I’d target them if possible.
Best way to get from 300k to 500K
In general, you can do either investing (buy now and sell later) or trading (buy now and sell now). Trading will get you there more quickly, but it takes more legwork. You can refer to my Sniping Filters for some ideas. As for investments, the Top Buys are my favorite looks at the moment. Asensio is probably the most likely to get you from 300k to 500k, but you would have to buy a lot of him.
Is 1.3k anygood for asensio
You can probably stretch it by a couple hundred coins.
Ijust bought 60 for 1.4k
Hi Chief, what would you say is the lowest desirable profit achievable per card while mass bidding?
Kind of up to you. I’ve done 100 coins in the past before I learned better trading strategies.
when should i sell kimmich totw
He is on that will probably gradually rise with time, just like other TOTW 1 cards. I would just sell when you are happy with the profit and/or see a better investing opportunity. Usually I don’t like to hold investments for more than 1-2 weeks.
