Haven't really gotten the hang of this year yet but here's the team

Redzer7

Got OTW Haaland last night for 918k, woke up this morning and sold him for 1,299,999.

316,000 profit after tax, think that's the most profit I've had from one card, definitely the quickest turn around I've had.

Osmosis Jones

Really start seeing the results of this trading method once the trade pile is full, just replacing every sale and watching the coins tick up, I started today on 20k and haven't really done anything time consuming to get to 70 while getting more cards listed

Personally, I found my results improved when I realised that sprints in the game are not working. Other years, I have the righ trigger held down most of the game, but this one needs slower build up, short passes and so on. I found once I slowed my game down, I started getting wins.

mind, Div 7 has become a brick wall for me now.

Redzer7

Jaysus lads I can't remember the last time I uploaded an image to this site, was it always this easy?

Lord TSC

Eight IF Eriksens sold today at about 8-9k profit each. Have a TP of about 90 cards now, and I’d say a third of them are IFs. 😂

The app is only allowing me 30 transfers at any one time, is that the same for everyone?

Redzer7

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119690509#Comment_119690509

Yeah, 100 on console.

Lord TSC

You can list more on the app, awkwardly.

You can list 30 cards manually, but hitting relist and it will relist everything that had been listed previously. So list up any new cards you want to list, and then hit relist to put older ones active again. Takes two or three cycles to get everything up, but means you can keep just relisting your 100 at a time then.

Just got lewandowsky otw card from a 2 player gold pack :)

BrentMused

Up to division 5 now. I had another really good run tonight and reeled off a nice amount of consecutive wins.

The gameplay so far this year suits me down to the ground. I'm not a skiller at all and have always preferred the slower, passing style. Hopefully it doesn't get too "skilly" once the patches start coming in and the power curve starts to take hold.

That said, I can't stress enough how helpful packing Neymar has been. He's single-handedly winning me games and is simply a cheat code having him this early into the game cycle.

I have enough points to attempt WL qualification but I think I'll hold off on that until midweek when it might be a little easier! Took me 3 or 4 weeks to qualify for WL last year so hoping to get into it earlier this year.

Osmosis Jones

Some nice sales from overnight

How Soon Is Now

Anyone used Antony ? He's 70,000 I kinda want to try him but that price seems crazy and could go down surely very soon!?

awec

Running this now. Kaka is a loan obviously.

edit: and spina is obviously LB!

Have him myself, untradeable. He’s not really a good fit for my style of play but he was decent enough for all I used of him. I find Sterling so much better, but I don’t dribble an awful lot and rely mostly on pass and move.

Antony is probably great if you’re a skiller though. He’s hurt me a few times on the opposing side.

martyos121

Just while I’m here, I’ll mention the players I find particularly good for me so far. As mentioned above, Sterling has been great, but Frenkie de Jong, Fabinho, Jordi Alba and Bernardo Silva all play so much better than their price suggests, in my experience.

Whereas I find the likes of Antony, Cancelo, Jota and Govou all a bit underwhelming given their price. Early days using Nkunku and Hakimi but they’ve been grand so far, can’t really call either of them good value given their prices though.

As for the cheaper players, Lemar is the standout. But Lucas Hernandez, Dumfries as a centre back and Kovacic are all solid bargains for starter teams.

awec

The Kim Min Jae base card is incredible IMO for only 950 coins. Never feels underpowered in games.

Lord TSC

I'm guessing Antony's price is a bit inflated due to the fact he's a new United player. I've faced him a few times without any issues though.

I've packed Eder Milato twice today. And both were untradeable :(

Osmosis Jones

From the Daily SBC omg

How Soon Is Now

Played few game's with Antony such fun player to play with literally tore the wing up but couldn't finish!

Got one goal out of him even though he was focal point of most attacks.

Could be just bad finishing with me !? Find Zaha exactly the same. In other news Malcia and James are brilliant RB and LBs especially James he is everywhere!!

That's filthy.

Osmosis Jones

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119693163#Comment_119693163

I don't blame you I legit feel guilty with my luck

Also for some real salt in the wound.....the console SBC page displayed this pack as tradeable even though it isn't, and usually when that happens compensation comes in the form of getting to keep the untradeables AND getting tradeable versions of them 😬

GavK

Just packed cristiano ronaldo. Untradeable. Anyone use him ?

Osmosis Jones

Btw still fully recommend everyone's gets on the lazy buyer method, first year in ages I'm actually making coins from trading and I'm barely doing anything, TP stays at 100 and coins keep going up.

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119693743#Comment_119693743

Give us a little peak at what's on the transfer pile? 😅

Shanee.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119693436#Comment_119693436

Yeah I packed him Thursday hes decent has about 12 in 9 for me

mutley18

Anyone using Marcos Llorente? Tempted but seems very steep at 70k.

Osmosis Jones

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119693996#Comment_119693996

It kinda does t matter, I just stick to pacy prem players 1-3k and then some bigger ones as I get more coins. Having a full TP also means you could have cards listed when SBCs with specific requirements come out like today all my Harvey Barnes sold because of that.

It's usually only a couple sales an hour but this was all from one cycle at 6pm today

Calvin

Finally got around to doing all of the advanced SBCs - got Alisson, Robertson, Sterling, Klostermann, Bruno for my troubles. Probably more too, but those are the ones that made my team. Not bad going, trading has slowed down now. I’m at 650k coins and I think 800k transfer profit overall.

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119694365#Comment_119694365

Yeah, I have him.

Bought him at 56k during the market drop on Friday morning.

IMO he's the best gold B2B CM in the game at the moment.

Worth every coin for me.

awec

what’s the view on the Kim Mae Jin SBC?

worth it?

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119687666#Comment_119687666

Militao now up to 140k, Llorente 75k, Alaba 52k and Courtois 60k.

Getting to the stage now where I'll have to seriously consider selling them if they continue to rise this week ahead of WL this weekend, and then buy back cheaper at a later date.

Kimbot

Trading is going ok, bought a few Harvey Barnes for 850 and sold for 1700/1800 earlier. Have a good few dakas I bought cheap aswell so I'm up to 85k with about 50k+ in the trade pile :)

Lord TSC

I packed a Gulasci on night 1 but cause of his price range, he just sat on my transfer pile. No one was paying 28k for him.

But I forgot to lower his price when his price range changed.

So, anyway, that's how I just got 27k for a player you can get for about a third that now 😂

How do you figure out what cards can be traded like this?

Osmosis Jones

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119696410#Comment_119696410

It works with every card that people want to purchase. Just stay away from completely undesirable cards like Greek League players and stuff like that and you're good.

A good baseline is to just stick to PL players with good pace (Fredericks, Daka, Barnes, James, Cornet)

Kimbot

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119696410#Comment_119696410

Follow osmosis advice :) Barnes, daka and anyone else pacey in the prem :)

Lord TSC

https://i.redd.it/yt6039u8pmr91.jpg

if you did the Newcomer or the Haaland SBC over the last few days, they were not marked as untradeable rewards despite being so. As such, they’re reissuing their packs accordingly 😂

Lord TSC

I love lazy buyers. Had avoided above discard cards before now, but he sold second cycle for me 😂

BrentMused

Anyone tried the WL playoffs yet?

First WL of the season is this weekend.

mutley18

Having used him for a few days I can confirm Mbappe is very OP, I feel like I am cheating using him this early.

Memphis Depay is very good also, he is the only one in my current team that I actually paid for and the 25k seems like a steal.

awec

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119697927#Comment_119697927

I'm struggling to get up the Rivals divisions! Still in Div7, it's still full of top players down here.

No way I'll have enough points to qualify for this weekend.

mutley18

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119697927#Comment_119697927

Not yet, need a few more points and will chance it then. I recall last year I could never qualify at the start until they changed the amount of wins required though 😂

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119698031#Comment_119698031

I'm the same with Neymar. He's a cheat code, even more so this early into the game cycle.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119698032#Comment_119698032

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119698038#Comment_119698038

It took me 3 or 4 weeks to eventually qualify last year IIRC, then once I got in the first time it was plain sailing from there and I never missed out.

I'd expect similar to happen this year especially in the first couple of weeks as it will be hardcore players who have accumulated enough points going for it.

I'll have a go Wednesday night and see how I get on.

4 wins from 10 games isn't too bad in fairness.

martyos121

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119697927#Comment_119697927

Just about scraped by to 4 wins myself a couple of nights ago, don’t really have high hopes in the WL itself but sure I’ll give it a bash anyway.

Hopelessly stuck on the last milestone in Division 6, winning about 1 game for every 10 losses, even in Elite last year it was never this bad. Since I have no way of playing competitive matches against a lower standard of player, I have no way of telling whether I’m coming up against excellent FIFA players, or if I’m absolutely rubbish this year.

awec

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119698223#Comment_119698223

I think pretty much everyone is the same, progressing up the divisions is really slow this year.

Redzer7

I'd be lucky to get enough WL points by the end of the month.

BrentMused

Made about 200k over the last few days buying position modifiers on bids for around 1.1k-1.3k (the odd time late at night I'd actually win a decent amount for as low as 150-500 coins!) and listing up anywhere from 2k-2.5k for lazies to buy.

There was a stage where I was constantly flipping 10-15 per hourly cycle, but it has slowed down dramatically now.

I couldn't understand why but then found out that a popular Twitter page had posted about doing it, so everyone is at it now.

It was great while it lasted!

Kimbot

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119699004#Comment_119699004

A lot of those tactics are now posted on various pages. My Barnes/Daka/James buying has slowed/selling but I notice that a few are now selling later at night :)
