Fifa 22 Trading Basics - Sniping Tips
Hey Guys,
It's actually funny to me personally that I have to write a post dedicated to sniping, but I do think it's really important!
New traders often think of sniping as one of the most efficient ways to make coins. I personally disagree, but we should know how to win snipes most effectively if we're going to do it!
This will be really important to start the Fifa 22 cycle as there are often many cards with prices ranges too low. In Fifa 21, these cards were extinct initially with too low of price ranges -
Martial
Diego Carlos
Militao
Jesus
Klostermann
Ousmane Dembele
Fred
There were many others, but as you see EA underestimated the demand of these META starter cards. If you were able to win snipes on them, it nearly guaranteed profit when EA chose to update their price ranges.
Now, what are the best ways to snipe?
1. Extensions/Programs
If I didn't list this, I would simply be lying. Although EA has outlined that these programs are against Terms of Service (ShortFuts/NokaFut) they have rarely taken action on those using them. I am not giving my consent on using these programs as it does come with a risk, but these bots will win snipes faster than hands typically.
Most these programs are simply using key-binds to go as quickly as a 1-click option to buy a single card.
If it's something you want to look into you can, but know it is against terms of service and if they ban an account it is within their rights.
2. Web App
Web App has the 2nd best opportunity to win snipes due to the double enter method! It can be rather quick and you can minimize your window so that your mouse will be on "buy now" right after searching. A lot of people also don't know that if you press enter twice you can buy now, which is generally faster than console sniping.
3. Next Gen Consoles
These are extremely fast and with good internet may even beat Web App at times. This is a significant advantage to those on older consoles.
4. Old Consoles/Phone
Toss-up here, but both these will not win many snipes especially if you're going for cards that are extinct. Remember, many people will be on these cards, so going for them on the older consoles/phones may not be worth it.
If you are sniping cards throughout the year it really will not matter what option you go with. You shouldn't see the overflow of demand like extinct cards, so you should be able to win quite a few on any platform.
I personally utilize Web App only if I'm going for extinct cards early in the cycle or trying to flip new promo cards as there are aggressive undercuts! I've never used bots or extensions, but I also couldn't win a snipe on the extinct cards last year, so take it how you will! Haha.
Hope this helps offer some perspective on sniping. We'll provide sniping filters this year based on Marquee Matchups, League SBC's and more! Sniping is also great on individual cards during big supply periods!
Ideally with sniping, you are looking for multiple options at once to increase your chances and the numbers of listings!
