In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, we will show you how to make the most out of the coin rewards after matches.
FUT 18 is not a walk in the park. You manage your own team, with many things to know and consider. You have to supply your players with contracts and various other consumables, you are allowed to maintain a manager, and now and then the team should also be strategically reinforced with new players. For all that, you need one important thing: coins.
But how do you get those golden objects of desire? There are several ways to do this. One option that EA Sports does not favor is buying coins for real money, which is possible on various online sites. However, we advise against that, as there are many fraudsters out there, and EA Sports imposes penalties for it.
“Legal” ways are the trading and earning coins by finishing games. We will now show you how to make the latter especially efficient.
Earn coins through match rewards
After every match in FUT 18, you will receive rewards in the form of coins. This method of obtaining coins is undoubtedly the most enjoyable, but it is very time-consuming – and so far, almost no one has become a “coin millionaire” just by playing.
Before starting a match, you should activate the available coin boosts from the “EAS FC” catalog, which will give you up to 1000 additional coins after each game. However, these boosts are limited in number and not stackable.
How coin match rewards are calculated
The match coins you earn after a game can be calculated using the following formula:
Match coins = (Skill rewards x multiplier) + Completion reward + EAS FC coin boost + Competition reward
Let’s take a closer look at the individual variables.
This is how skill rewards are composed
In the following table, you can see how many coins you earn for your actions during a match:
You read this table as follows: Let’s take the example “Scored Goals”, meaning the goals you score. You get 40 coins for each goal. However, you can only earn a maximum of 200 coins from goals, so it is enough if you score 5 goals in one game. You will not be rewarded for more goals.
You also earn coins for shots on goal, successful tackles, corners, clean sheets, passing accuracy in %, ball possession in %, and the player of the match (marked in green in the table from top to bottom).
There are coin deductions (marked in red in the table) for conceded goals, fouls, cards, and offsides.
The multiplier is a number determined by several factors. On one hand, it depends on your aborted matches, completed matches, and the difficulty and significance of the match mode and the opponents.
- For each aborted match, the multiplier decreases by 0.25 x A, where A depends on the respective match mode.
- For each completed match, the multiplier increases by 0.02 x A.
The maximum values of the multiplier are:
- 0.63 Online Seasons
- 0.88 Online Tournaments
- 1.13 Online Singles
- 0.36 Singleplayer Seasons
- 0.25 Singleplayer Tournaments
This is how the reward for completion is calculated
The next variable is the reward for completion. The maximum value of the completion reward is 325 coins. To receive this, you must complete the match. If the opponent quits early, you only receive part of these coins. It is calculated as follows:
Completion reward = 325 x played minutes / 90
Competition reward
You will also receive rewards in the form of coins or packs when you win a tournament or achieve certain goals in a season (relegation/promotion/title).
Through TOTW challenges, you can earn a maximum of 1000 coins or up to 15,000 coins by winning in the online season. In FIFA 18’s “Ultimate Team” mode, there are also FUT Champions and the Weekend League, where you can reap extreme competition rewards – however, these are only achievable for the best of the best.
To complete the above equation for calculating match coins, there are still the “EAS FC” coin boosts that can add 200 or 1000 coins on top. You must purchase them with “Football Club Credits.” They are also only available from certain XP levels.
Here’s how to maximize the match rewards:
- Use the coin boosts.
- Keep the multiplier high.
- Try to earn as many skill rewards as possible.
- Play modes that offer good and achievable completion rewards for you.
