Q & A Tuesday – Week 23
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!
Concerning st patricks day investments, I started investing couple days ago, I bought some Irish players like long (750 each), mcgeady (650 each) etc. I didnt have much coins so I managed to buy about 30-35 cards. Soon probably I will get some money from guedes investments, I think I will get about 150k. I wanted to go all in with st patrick investment, but I noticed that Irish players inflated from 600-700 to 1300… will it be still worth to invest? Whats the higher target price for itish players shall be?
Thanks in advance, this page is really helpful, cheers!
Some of the better known investors (Nick RTFM, in particular) put out a video yesterday concerning St. Patrick’s day investments as well. As a result, Irish players have begun to inflate more. I do think there is still room for profit, though. I’d move the higher target price to 1,100 coins.
And one more question Chief… I’ve heard that EA gonna introduce some changes in WL and WL qualifications… Any leaks? I heard that it will be harder to win qualification tournament :(, for let’s say medium talented players like me, it’s terrible news…
EA have announced that they are going to change the WL structure for Madden; it will now begin on Thursday instead of Friday. No word yet on whether or not they will change it for FIFA, but I assume that is next in line.
Another question connected to st patrick’s event… Chief, according to actually every investor, the investments (in this case ireland players) should be sold during so called hype before the announcement of event/sbc. According to FIFA 17 st patricks event was held on 17 march. I noticed that the irish players’ price (in fifa 17) rised just a little bit in anticipation to the event, and then on 17 march shot up and kept rising to achieve the biggest point on 20 march, and then plummet. How do you think, is it better to do everything according to well known statement (to sell in hype before sbc/event) or it’s better to wait until release sbc (with hope that the market will behave like in fifa 17, to let the prices rise more)? I’m a little bit confused as the topic of overinvesting is mentioned in fifa 18 really regularly (if there is overinvestment, actually the price will go down after the sbc release right…?).
What would/will you do ? :P
It is wise of you to look at graphs from FIFA ’17, but that is one only of the things to consider when gauging an investment. Another factor is that, this year, selling in the hype has been the right choice 90% of the time. With Irish player prices inflating at the rate they are already, I think this investment should be no different – sell in the hype.
Great, Thanks dude! :D
P.S. W8ing for Guedes SIF selling time info :D
He hasn’t risen like I hoped he would. My hope is that EA drops Ratings Refresh from some league on Friday and that causes potential upgrades to rise. Hold tight until Friday.
But you mean he will rise hours before sbc or after?
There aren’t any SBCs for upgrades. When you say SBC, I think you mean announcement. I’m not sure yet, so that’s why I recommend hold tight.
Yeah, I meant announcement ofc =))
Just wondering why his price is dropping down..?
Probably because no YouTuber has hyped him and he has 3* WF and Skills. He is kind of an off the radar investment, which is why I’m tempted to hold him until after the upgrade is announced to see what happens with his price.
I see… what about carvalho and lecomte?
There’s no magic sell time. Just sell when you are happy with the profit. As for me, I’m going to see what their prices are at next weekend.
The new team of the week is released today Jordi Alba has got an inform does that mean his gold card price goes up?
That investing strategy doesn’t really work this late in FIFA. There are too many of his gold card on the market at this point for their to be a significant supply drop off that effects his price. That’s more of a technique for the first few weeks of the game.
Icons released today apparently. Sell the 83+ informs from lunar new year today?
You could, but I don’t see them going up much considering today’s new Icons (based on leaks) are pretty shit. I’ll be holding mine a bit longer, most likely until next Friday at least.
When the rating refresh for calcio a is out should i sell Milinkovic then or do i hold on to him people will be intrested in his higher rated card tho :'(
I was just looking at De geas price as he has got his rating refreshed his price went down an hour after it got announced.
Also Milinkovics price has gone down by 10 k…
Like almost all investments, it is better to sell in the hype. He rose quite a bit after his skill upgrade was announced, so I’d take the profit.
Chief, irish plyera went down from 1800 to 1300, do you think they will bounce back soon ?
Soon? Hard to say. I do think they will rise more before the event in a few weeks, though, probably to around 2000 coins.
I don’t understand, I know there will be new cards but why would the normal one rise its price if it’s staying the same?
What cards are you referencing?
For instances, Coleman will get a green card for the st patrick’s day, but why is his normal 81 card price rising?
Because there are SBCs that require Irish players.
