Fifa 22 Icon Trading Guide

Hey Guys, 

I wanted to fully revamp this guide for Fifa 22 and provide some insight on the best high budget trading method! 

Remember, I recommend making most trades with around 5% of your overall budget. Icon trading may not pertain to you yet and I would stick to the lower budget side. 

On the other hand, I personally used this method combined with solution trading and it was producing crazy coins for me. 

In the future, I will discuss how you can trade Icons like any special cards based on their fluctuations, but today I wanted to focus on the "59th Minute Method"! 

The 59th Minute Method refers to setting a criteria of search filters and scrolling until you get to the 59th minute of listings. This means cards were JUST listed! 

In this scenario, you are using memorization of cards within criteria to know when there's a good deal! Let's talk more in-depth on some filters and where to start! 

Best way to memorize prices? There are 2 key approaches here - 

1. Futbin 

You can go old school and use pen/paper. Right some low prices and know what to look for. This is generally just a starting point, but it does really help! 

2. Track

If you have cards you want to trade add the cheapest cards to your watchlist. It makes it easy to search them by compare price AND you can track what they sell at. Win-win. 

Filter 1 - High Budget 

Min Buy Now: 900,000. That's it. You could also cap it by your maximum budget. 

I really like this one as it really limit the options and you find a lot of deals around this range.

Filter 2 - Low Budget/Starter 

Max Buy Now: 350,000. To reduce options, I prefer to sort this one by a broad search of defenders, midfielders or attackers. Of course, as you memorize a set of cards you could move onto more! 

There are honestly infinite filters you can mess around with! I have also just done Brazilian Icons in the past just to reference on more example! 

Now, this wouldn't be a proper guide with me just telling you some filters and saying good luck memorizing (although that is the majority of it)! We need to take in some additional factors in our Icon trading the impact our buy and sell prices! 

1. Market Movement

I just mentioned this in Discord, but we need to understand how the market is moving! Is the market trending up or down? Why? 

As of right now, the market has been subtly rising each day as we've seen little supply periods, rewards and increased new users everyday. With no content disruption, the market is generally moving up a whole. 

This means that a good deal can become a very good deal quickly. 

Let me give you an example. 

Yesterday, I saw Baby Rooney attainable in the low 800's. I didn't have coins, but it was a good buy price as I knew he sold at 880+! 

Now, this is where it gets interesting. Without content and high demand, Rooney actually exploded to nearly 950K last night. If you are trading in an inflating market, the sell price is only going to grow. A good deal can become a great deal. 

2. Fluctuations 

This post isn't directed at fluctuation trading specifically, but cards will move throughout the day. Icon deals tend to be plentiful during prime times of day so around 2-7 PM UK. They tend to dip with good content at 6 PM, but recover with rarity into the evening. 

This is when we have the most listings. Cards tend to trend low in this period and waiting for an additional 15-25K undercut is how you get those deals! 

3. Relists 

If a card is trending down and getting near your buy price you need to be watching for people relisting. I can show this in a video, but again this is where you wait for one more undercut to make a great deal! 

For example, yesterday I was trading Mid Cafu. I had a buy price in mind around 830 as I knew I could sell him for 900+.  

He had multiple listings (3) around 860K and they were not selling. I knew that someone would likely relist lower to make it in my range! I actually sniped his individual card instead of doing the 59th minute and got one right where I wanted! It took around 5-10 minutes to be honest, but I knew at my price it was a 40-50K deal, so worth that time! 

Bonus Tips: 

Search Icons under the league tab, not the rarity. The rarity can be glitchy. 

Always list you cards. Either list at your sale price right away as you never know what can happen or list HIGH! It helps inflate the market and can clear some cards off that were ahead of yours. 

Don't forget to bid! If you see someone going on open bid on a low fluctuation it can be a great place to look that people don't notice! 

These are the fundamentals of Icon Trading! I will record a video that goes hand-in-hand with live examples! I was away from home most of my day, so wasn't on Web App for deal
