To build a strong team in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team, you need coins. We will show you tips and tricks for trading to earn coins on the transfer market.
This is the transfer market in EA FC 24: On the Ultimate Team transfer market, you can find all kinds of items. Players can offer and buy them. There you will find, among other things:
- New players
- Contracts
- Chemistry Styles to boost your players
- Cosmetics for club and stadium – like jerseys, goal anthems, and more
However, keep in mind that transactions on the EA FC 24 transfer market are conducted only with coins that can be earned in-game. The real money currency “FC Points” cannot be used on the transfer market.
The goal in trading in EA FC 24 is to acquire cards cheaply and then sell them for profit. If done correctly, you can use the transfer market to earn a lot of coins.
You can then use these to improve your team – without spending real money.
Because you should always keep this in mind in Ultimate Team: Buying packs is usually not worth it:
The chance of getting strong cards from packs in the shop is quite low.
What you need to consider when trading: The transfer market in Ultimate Team is dynamic, and prices can change every second. A player that cost 50,000 coins yesterday could be worth only half as much the next day – or even double.
Prices can fluctuate drastically, and what worked once may not work the next time.
It is essential to closely monitor the transfer market and then decide whether a trading method might be effective at that moment.
Here we show you some tips and methods you can try.
Account for the “transfer fee” when trading
What is this fee? A basic rule of the transfer market is that you will always have 5% deducted from the selling price with every sale. For example, if you sell a player for 10,000 coins, only 9,500 coins will be credited to your account.
This is bad if you just bought the player 10 times for 9,700 coins and then sold it 10 times for 10,000. Instead of a profit of 3,000 coins, you now have a loss of 2,000 coins.
This means: Always factor in these 5% before you decide how much to buy players you want to sell later.
Don’t just look at players – Especially at the start of EA FC 24
Which items are worth it? When you want to earn coins on the transfer market, you usually think only of players you can sell for a lot of coins at once.
But you should also take a look at cosmetics, chemistry styles, managers, and things like goal anthems. These are often mistakenly dismissed as “pack fillers”.
Especially now, at the start of EA FC 24, players are still adjusting their clubs, choosing jerseys from their favorite clubs, or looking for a strong manager.
Such items can bring you significantly more coins than you might think!
Pay attention to which evolutions are currently popular
In EA FC 24, evolutions are a powerful feature that allows you to improve your cards by completing tasks. But you can also use the feature to earn some coins.
What to keep in mind: New evolutions with new conditions regularly appear in Ultimate Team. If you notice this, you should act quickly. Be sure to check futwiz to see which cards are particularly popular for the respective evolutions.
You should then look for these cards cheaply on the transfer market and then sell them for a higher price. Ideally, this should be done when the new evolution gains popularity, and more players want to use those cards.
Use the right timing for meta players
What to keep in mind? Since EA FC 24 has just officially launched, the prices of many cards are currently steadily increasing. This is partly because new players are just now saving the coins needed to pay high prices in the transfer market. This causes meta players to spike in price significantly.
It is also possible that many cards will continue to increase at least until the first weekend league – as good players want to build powerful teams. Investing in such players now can therefore be worthwhile.
Outside the “startup phase,” Thursday morning has established itself as a good time to find cheap cards. This is because many players claim their division rivals’ rewards then. These are sold quickly and cheaply – that’s when you can strike.
Still during the day, towards Friday, cards may rise again if players start working on their weekend league teams. If you have bought interesting cards here, you have the chance for a profit.
Bronze Pack Method – BPM
What is the Bronze Pack Method? The “BPM” is an absolute classic among trading methods. The tactic consists of buying a premium bronze pack in the FUT shop for 750 coins and then selling all contained items.
The idea is that typically the items in the pack are worth more than the pack itself – even if only by a little.
You buy the pack and list the entire contents on the transfer list. It is important to check the price of each individual player – because some bronze cards are surprisingly valuable, thanks to SBCs or tasks.
Then you might sell a player for more than 1,000 coins and make a solid profit right away. So be careful not to price your cards too low.
This method primarily brings in small amounts and requires a lot of patience, but it has proven to be quite low-risk and popular – especially at the start of a FIFA/FC title.
However, try not to clutter your transfer list with cards that simply won’t sell. If you see cards that just won’t move for 200 coins, you should remove them from the list.
This technique does not typically work well with gold and silver packs, as the prices of the packs often exceed what you can get out of them. The chance of expensive players is low.
Sniping and Flipping Cards
Buy players cheap, sell them expensive: “Sniping” is one of the most well-known trading methods in Ultimate Team. The goal is to get selected cards for as cheaply as possible and then sell them at a higher price.
This is how sniping works: You select a card that has the potential to become even more expensive. You then search for it using the search filter.
Example: A player typically costs 5,000 coins. You set your filter below that – for instance, at 4,000. The lower you go, the less likely you are to get an offer.
If you find a low price, you must rush to make the purchase as quickly as possible – because you are also competing with other players for the offers. Typically, the plan looks as follows:
- Set your filter and press search.
- Close the message displayed if no card appears.
- If you do not get the card: Increase the maximum bid price with the shoulder buttons, keeping the buy-it-now price the same. This will refresh the market offers.
- Keeping the price the same means you always get the same expired offers.
- Then continue searching.
- Repeat these steps until a card appears. If it just doesn’t work, try again at another time or with another card.
- Alternatively, you can increase the buy it now price – but not too high. Otherwise, it is no longer worthwhile, also due to the transfer fee.
You can also snipe in the web app and companion app, but typing takes longer than the practiced process on the controller. This can cost valuable seconds during which other players can strike.
How do I make coins with this? The goal is to buy cards well below their “normal” value. You can then “flip” them – selling them at a higher price.
In the best case, you might even want to wait a little once you’ve bought a player with the potential to become more expensive. But be careful that its value does not drop, resulting in a loss.
Pay attention to SBCs and tasks
What makes these elements important? In Ultimate Team, it can be worthwhile to stock up on cards and not sell them immediately but at the right moment. SBCs and tasks can help with this.
Because players often search in Ultimate Team for cards with very specific requirements to complete SBCs or tasks.
For example, some SBCs may require TOTW cards. If you have any that cannot be sold at a good price, it may be worth holding onto them until such a moment.
It may also happen that players suddenly need a whole bunch of second league players or players from an unusual nation for a task set. Thus, cards that would otherwise bring little on the transfer market can suddenly become very expensive.
Here, it is important to constantly monitor the market and offer the right cards at the right moment.
Use portals like futbin to track prices
What is the benefit of futbin? On futbin, you can accurately track current player prices to spot trends. Players on the “Popular” main page currently fall into the category of players from the last tip.
Such sites provide much clearer insights into current prices than searching the transfer market itself.
In addition to these methods, there are many more tactics that can earn coins on the transfer market. What do you use for trading? Do you have any other tips? Feel free to tell us in the comments!
