Fifa 22 Trading Basics - Budget Management
Hey Guys,
This is a brand new post concept based on some of the most commonly asked questions I receive each year!
Although the answer will vary for each person, I want to give some tips on how to best utilize your coins for trading.
1. Trading in Your Budget
A lot of people don't trade optimally and this is extremely important early in FUT. If you have a budget of 100K, it's ideal to trade with cards that are ~5% or less of your current budget.
If you have 100K it would be best to fill up your transfer list of cards ranging from 150 coins to 5K in value. This will allow you to constantly rollover your coin total and grow them constantly. It would be a mistake to buy 1-2 cards with your 100K and hope they sell.
Not only do high value cards typically sell slower, but you will have less variety and less opportunity to grow your total. You want to constantly be buying and selling players. A good trader always aims to have a full transfer list!
This may sound overwhelming, but once you master a few techniques you could also have a variety of lazy sales/tech avion going (will explain these in a future post).
For reference, even when I have 1.5-2 million coins I typically buy 1-3 Icons and then go back to trading with cards under 10K. These cards give an insane return on investment compared to higher budget cards.
2. Balancing Coins for Team and Trading
This is a tough one and really has no formal answer, but I will give my advice! The key here is finding what trading methods really work for you. We will provide methods for all budgets whether you have millions of coins or less than 50K.
If you are new to trading and want the full experience, I always recommend keeping a minimum of 500K available. This is perfect for rash investing, day trading, small investments and silvers. It allows you to do most methods, but you would need at least 500K to perform them well!
We'll also do our best to give you some cards that are great team options. For example, RTTF/OTW can naturally be good cards to have in your team. Live cards tend to rise in price dramatically with an upgrade or a good performance. If you can play with a card and sell later for a profit it's the best of both worlds.
My personal approach is to trade all the way until TOTY. I aim to have 20 million+ coins and the market tends to decline during this time as more promos come out. It's a nice combination and a great time to decide to go "all-in". Of course, I am not a pro player and my focus on the game is trading. You will find the right balance for you!
Losing coins on players is generally part of Fifa and I don't want you to fear it. People are often so consumed with the perfect time to sell or best time to buy that it costs them a lot. They believe they miss the "perfect" window and end up losing a lot of value.
We'll provide selling guidance if we foresee a big crash, but just know cards will generally lose value with time.
Keep these small notes available when you're thinking of how much you want to spend on your team and what methods you excel at! If you're not good at low-budget trading then simply aim to do it as little as possible! Haha!
