Trading Techniques - Mass Bidding

Hey Guys, 

Showing an easy trading method here that is optimal on a lower budget and extremely effective to start the Fifa cycle, which is mass bidding! 

Mass bidding refers to bidding on a huge allotment of cards within a short period of time. This technique is optimal whenever we see large quantities of supply including: 

Thursday Rewards

Squad Battle Rewards

Marquee Matchups 

Promo Packs 

All of these options will deliver thousands of packs being opened all within a short time frame. This will produce thousands of cards coming onto the market at once. Keep in mind, many casual players are too lazy to check prices of their cards and they list them on open bid. This means they list them at the very minimum bid price and maximum buy now price, so they bid will tend to take it. A reminder that the best time to bid tends to be 1-1.5 hours after the supply since that's when the bids will be expiring! 

The market has a short timeframe where player cannot actively keep up with bidding. There are simply too many cards expiring within minutes and it's too hard to track. You can get some amazing deals on bids at these times. These are periods where I've seen 86 rated players won for 5K or a 5K card won for 750 coins. This is why it's one of my favorite low budget methods! 

Since we know EA don't enjoy giving us good players in packs, this method works best when looking at 83 rated players or under. They're going to get packed most frequently and significantly more than 83+! 

From here, it's about finding players that hold a nice value and aiming to bid on them for 50-75% of their current buy now. You can hold them until supply lessens or sell for a quick turnaround! To do this, we use the assistance of Futbin. I have a short video series coming on this, but in essence we categorize a filter like so: 

Gold 

75-79 rated 

1.5-3K  

BOOM! This will provide us options who are going to get packed a lot and hold value. At the start of the game, A LOT of cards fit this category since most players are using starter teams. As we go on, the players are more select and often are still meta or used for SBC solutions. 

We will aim to provide you lists for these periods of mass supply, but we also want to give you the tools to find them. Also, we need to recognize what type of cards are being supplied. If they are rare gold players packs, we would sort by rares. If they are electrum or a variety, looking at non-rares may be best! 

Lightning Rounds = Rares

Thursday = Mixed 

Sunday = Non-Rare focused 

Hope this helps give some insight on what we do, when and why to make good coins!
