Fifa 22 OTW Trading
*Make sure to read to the end for Fifa 22 Changes*
OTW trading is one of the best trading methods every year to start Fifa and I expect it to be MASSIVE this year with a huge transfer window!
These guys should all receive OTW in Fifa 22 -
Lukaku
Messi
Ramos
Varane
Sancho
Hakimi
Donnaruma
Alaba
Wijnaldum
Grealish
As you can see, this is a massive promotion this year! On top of great cards, OTW will also be changing how they upgrade. According to leaks, it may be similar to Headliners where it's based on team performance rather than individuals.
It could be insane for PSG if this is the case! LOL!
Anyways, let's chat about HOW WE CAN TRADE WITH THEM!
Live card trading is prevalent all year and extends into Headliners, RTTF, What If and Path to Glory. You can take these concepts and use them all year!
The best times to buy OTW specifically for SAFE, but smaller profit margins is around 48 hours before their game! I personally love to trade this weekly and make a few investments to make some consistent profits as I get a higher budget!
In this scenario, you would be selling in the hype of the game right around lineup announcements! Again, don't expect profits to be huge in this scenario, but it's important to know it's low risk and consistent profit!
You can opt to hold into the game, but that becomes primarily gambling based rather than a true investment. If you have a good feeling or good football knowledge, you are always welcome to trust your gut!
If a player does perform well with a goal or an assist, I try to sell into the hype of the event during the game!
Lastly, there is typically one more great investment window for OTW specifically! If a OTW player has a good performance, like scoring a hat-trick, you will see an exponential rise during the game. After the game, you see all the investors beginning to sell off, which is another great buy window.
A great day to buy is usually on Sunday night as TOTW predictions begin coming out on social media during the week. As people see predictions, they begin to buy into the OTW for an expected upgrade. At this point, they're already too late!
As you have likely already noticed, a key to investing is buying early. At this point it allows you to make very safe profit!
EA recently added a new function for OTW cards that will make them even better to trade! OTW cards can receive a one-time +1 upgrade if their team wins 5 out of 10 domestic matches.
I think this feature is great as many OTW cards either didn't upgrade last year or simply took a very long time to upgrade. Ake, Semedo, etc. Defenders will have a harder time, but this should help present some upgrades to them, too!
Buying as OTW cards approach their 3rd and 4th domestic wins should lead to a very safe ROI especially if they are expected to win those games. Typically, the best time to buy Headliner cards last year was after their 2nd win!
We always want to sell in the hype, so you would not be holding these into their upgrade and likely even selling before their potential 5th win!
