Trading at FIFA 21: General recommendations
The Ultimate Team mode has been for years one of the most recognized games in the series and with FIFA 21, we have some more to talk about. EA Sports has not stopped expanding its possibilities and among the available mechanics, one of the most interesting is known as the trading, which is based on the economic base of the game and the transfer market.
The trading is, as we usually say, a kind of an auction for FUT players’ cards. It is a trading market where any card can appear at any price. And we must take advantage of this system whenever we can, so in this section of our complete guide, we bring you several tips and recommendations for trading.
How to get started with the trading in FIFA Ultimate Team?
The first thing we must tell you is that the FUT market has a life of its own and it is shaping up in real-time, changing day by day, fluctuating. Therefore, there is not really a safe and reliable way to buy cheap and sell expensive (which is the goal you should set). Keep in mind the following guidelines:
- It is the players who are going to buy and sell at FUT, so everything is governed by the laws of supply and demand.
- Several applications allow you to keep an eye on how the market is at each moment (one of the most recommended by the community is Futbin). Don’t worry, they are not illegal apps and they don’t involve any kind of penalty to your account.
- The idea is to take some strategic “advantage” with these apps to get ahead of the market events.
- This way you can monitor cards like chemistry style cards (many players disdain them, but many others look for them because of their improvement in our player’s statistics).
- In the first moments of a season, the market will be saturated with players who want to sell and prices will be quite inflated.
As we say, buying and selling at the right time is difficult, but using the help of these apps, you will be able to find the best moment for each card. We recommend you to follow the market trends and use filters according to the platform you play on.
This way, you can check which cards are rising (the ones you want to sell if you have them to get a good handful of FUT coins) and which cards are falling (the ones you want to buy right away to take advantage of their falling prices).
When to buy and sell cards?
It is clear that with the changes in the market. It’s difficult to find suitable times to buy and sell cards and ensure the profits from coins for our pockets. While it is true that there are some tricks to be had.
A good way to buy and sell cards in the market by earning coins is as follows:
- Buy cards: Thursdays and Sundays, after the rewards (with a maximum price of 450 coins in gold not unique).
- Sell the cards: During the rest of the week (sell them before the next rewards arrive to buy more).
- It is recommended to buy cards from the positions: DFC, LI, LD, MI, MD, EI, and ED.
- You can buy cards of any nationality: But usually players from Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, England, Argentina, and Holland as they’ll get you better results.
- You can buy cards from any league: Although the most recommended are the Santander League, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, and the Premier League.
Set the selling prices around 1,000 and 2,500, depending on the cards you have and how fast you want to sell them. Remember to sell them every day before the Thursday and Sunday rewards, and you’ll probably manage to win coins constantly with this method, progressing little by little every week.
You can take advantage of the weak
A great way to progress in trading is by taking advantage of the weak. This may sound cruel, but it’s not your fault if another player wastes his cards. How? Simple, sometimes you may come across players who due, to inexperience or lack of knowledge, decide to sell very well. Cards at a ridiculously low price; yes, they could be cards from the best players.
Don’t hesitate to take advantage of these cards and buy them if you find them very cheap. However, wait for the right time to sell them. If you see a lot of cards from one player selling at a high price, it doesn’t mean that people are buying it; Sometimes, it can be more profitable to reserve that card to sell it later.
