How I’m at 125K on Day 2 of FIFA with $0 Spent
The FIFA 18 web app and early access (for Xbox players) came out yesterday, putting the FIFA community into a frenzy. Here is how I’ve traded and played my way to 125K without spending a penny.
Note: My best pack has been Seamus Coleman. He goes for 2500 coins at the moment.
Mass Bidding
As mentioned in previous articles like this, mass bidding is an amazing method for the beginning stages of FIFA trading. The trick is finding the right filter where you can flip players quickly while still make 100+ coins per player.
A good place to look if you are struggling to find a filter is in the SBC requirements. Currently, there is a One Nation Midfield SBC that has the following requirements:
To get players that are commonly used meet this requirement, there have been two filters that I have used.
From here, I set my max BID to 150 and bought players until my transfer list was full. I listed them for 300 or 350 BIN in one hour cycles until they were sold. While the yield isn’t massive (about 13k per 100 players sold), it is still a consistent and effective way to increase your coins early.
Playing Games
While my players were being sold, I would play as many online season matches as quickly as I could. As of right now, I have played 25 games. Because I have my 1000 coin boosts activated, each match gets me about 1500 coins, returning me a total of 37,500 coins.
Sniping and Bidding on More Expensive Players
This method has been far less consistent than the others, but can potentially be very rewarding if you stumble upon a good deal. Use it after you get to 50k+ coins. Try targeting 6-8 players and figure out what their current lowest Buy It Now price is going for. For me, I cycled through Kevin Gameiro, IF Mustafi, and IF Kimmich, among others. I often flipped them for around 1-2k more coins and made as much as 5000 coins off of one transaction.
I have over 100K. What Now?
After I eclipsed the century mark, I began to start investing in some of the players for the coming weeks; for example, Mane’s POTM will be released next week Friday, so I built a squad around players that will likely be required for his SBC.
It includes a bit of everything: some high rated BPL players (Gueye, Schneiderlin, Otamendi), BPL players from Senegal (Gueye, Diouf, Sakho) and a BPL inform (Fabianski). Also, I grabbed an OP BPL player (Izquierdo – he has 93 pace) and a transfer to the BPL that will likely get a OTW (Aurier). By investing in players for a variety of different reasons, you minimize your risk. As this FIFA season begins, look to spread your investments so you don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. This will prevent you from getting burned and potentially losing out big.

hi,
Thank you for this con method! I am at 110k just from the mass bidding. I was also wondering if there is any other bidding filter that are efficient
Many thanks
If you are at 110k, I’d recommend starting to try to snipe some players. Try setting your low bin to 75k, high bin to 110k, and try to get a deal in the 59th minute on a player. I’ve been doing this today; I bought Neuer for 150k and sold for 175, and bought Lacazette for 164 and sold for 180.
Otherwise, try using the silver-midfielder-Brazil filter or silver-midfielder-France, bid for 150-200, and sell accordingly.
Thank you! i have one more question. How do you know what filters will work using a sbc.
many thanks
Sometimes it’s a guessing game. Otherwise look at the current SBC’s for a guide. For example, the France marquee matchup requires French players, so there is a filter that works for that right now. Just look at the requirements and try to see what is in demand that people might not know about.
