Fifa 22 Trading Basics - Supply and Demand

Hey Guys,

Let me start by saying that ALL trading is based on supply and demand!

 If a card is rising in price it has more demand than supply at that time.

If a card is dropping in price, it has more supply than demand.

It makes sense, but how can we look to capitalize off this? The best opportunity to make consistent coins from this knowledge is buying within big supply periods! 

Each week, there are multiple scheduled reward times where people open thousands of packs all at once. Previously, the strongest showcase of this was Thursday rewards. We had both Rivals and Weekend League rewards together, but this will change in Fifa 22. Instead, you'll get more supply periods throughout the week with less volume of supply. We should see the biggest influx on Sunday's with Weekend League Rewards and Squad Battle rewards hitting the market into Monday morning UK!  

With all this pack supply coming onto the market at once, you can identify quite a few deals. This is usually a great time to go into META cards that will recover or dive deep into some SBC fodder! It's also a great time to utilize filter bidding methods (another guide) coming haha. 

One hour after rewards/packs is the optimal time to look for deals on open bid. A lot of people are lazy when listing and they do not check the buy now price. They list them at the lowest possible bid price with no buy now price. You can look to bid on cards at around 50-75% of their current buy now as a quick flip. You can also look to pick up those cards and hold them for a later time, but either way it's a great opportunity to buy!

We do provide specific player lists at rewards times based on where we see the market moving! 

Team of the Week comes out each Wednesday, so Thursday morning is the first time they are supplied heavily. With cards in-demand, you can see them drop the first few hours of rewards and rise into the afternoon! This works pretty often and is a strategy you'll see us use throughout the year on select cards!

Supply and Demand is also easy to take advantage of during promo packs/Lightning Rounds. During Lightning Rounds 100's of thousands are packs are ripped open within a short duration and is another great opportunity to look for open bids! This time, the focus would be on rare gold cards since LR's feature rare gold packs! We typically see these feature first around Black Friday. 

We will provide a "mass bidding” (guide coming) lists of cards to look for during this time. An ideal card to mass bid holds a value of a 2-4K and is on the lower rated side (75-83). This means they will be packed a lot and have a lot of bidding opportunity!

This is one of the best and easiest ways to make coins on a low-budget! Start bidding 1 hour after big supply periods and you will always find deals! Remember, supply and demand is the fundamental of trading. If you understand how to trade around times of heavy supply it can be an amazing way to make some quick coins!

This will end our Trading Basics Series and we’ll move forward with techniques! All our techniques advance from these basics, so be sure to ask any questions you may have 👍🏼

Much love!
