Reasoning for Investment: When TOTS begins, people’s clubs are generally filled with fodder; all the packs that they hoarded for weeks/months before stacked them with high rateds. As time goes on, people need to resort to the transfer market to buy their fodder for guaranteed TOTS SBCs. High rated cards reach higher and higher prices.
This logic applies to OOP cards, too – they generally do better later into the TOTS promo. La Liga typically does especially well as there are a lot of cheap, high rated cards that people can build SBCs around. Nabil Fekir is a perfect example.
What makes Fekir even better is the fact that he has a linkable nation in a great league outside of his home country (Luis Alberto & Lucas Digne are another examples). You often see these players rise considerably when going OOP, especially the 82-84 rated cards. With the new chemistry system in FIFA 23, I think it will be even more of the case.
Cheers,
