Trading Techniques - Position Change Trading

Hey Guys, 

We are almost through most of the techniques I want to cover before release. These are amazing to get familiar with and I will definitely be referencing them again. I plan to release Web App guides explaining what to do on each budget, so these guides will come back into play. 

Anyways, here we have position change trading, which is an amazing method by itself, but it can also be coupled with other methods. 

Position change trading is best practiced when a card ALREADY has an expensive position change applied to it. A simple example of this is when a ST is converted back into a CAM or even CM. 

CF>CAM religiously cost 5K in Fifa 20.

Again, this method is optimal on cards around 125K or under. To keep it simple, if a chem style is worth more or a large % value of the card, you’re golden. 

Since it’s late in the Fifa, this will be best practiced with specials as golds are oversaturated. Gold cards have been changed all year and have a lot of supply in all their position changes. 

I looked at the TOTW tab in Futbin and searched until I found FUT Birthday Lacazette. Due to his links, I could easily see people wanting him as a CM or CAM for chemistry. 

After 1 search, I seemed to have struck some luck. I found the cheapest listed Lacazette as CM, so I bought it. 

I bought at 80K and I’m aiming to sell at 89K, which leaves me 4.5K profit. I’ll try to remember to keep listing and post the sale! 

In terms of getting you more example, I also wanted to use SS Ribery. SS Ribery is a ST as a base, so it’s pretty expensive to get him to CAM or CM. I searched his lowest buy now on the market and as you see, it was around 73K. 

Next, I simply searched his cheapest buy now as a CM! I found there were 3 listed and 2 were extortionate prices. I bought the card for 76K, because it was nearly his lowest listed, BUT it was was position changed AND had a Hunter. I’m aiming to sell this card at 85K. 

The truth is, I really just need 1 person to want him as a CM and I know they’ll buy mine! It’s just waiting for that time and watching other listings! 

There Ribery sold at 84K. As you see, they do revert to their normal position after selling.

This method works really well with golds and informs early on as well. As a trader, I have A LOT of trading pictures stored, so I know for a fact these cards worked well in Fifa 20 to start - 

Brandt

Wijnaldum 

Douglas Costa

Dybala

Rashford

Dembele 

Bernardo Silva

Alli 

Thiago

Naingolan

Fabinho

Zaha

Alejandro Gomez

Mertens

These cards among many many more. Some keys I look for are of course cards that are meta, cards that link well in alternate positions and what formations are popular. 

In previous cycles, 4-3-2-1 formations were popular, so it made LF/RF changes very enticing for buyers. 

For reference, once we establish a list we will give it to you and present examples. The list below was taken directly from Discord :) 

I also plan to do a quick video showing chemistry style and position change trading! It well help explain my thought process as an experienced trader. 

Much love!
