Every week, the Team of the Week (TOTW) is published in FIFA 19. Before that, there are always predictions: We show you how to use them to earn lots of coins.
These are TOTW Predictions: TOTW predictions are forecasts of which players deserve a spot in the upcoming Team of the Week. These are based on the real performances of the players in the past week. However, these never align 100% with the official TOTW.
Nevertheless, they provide a good overview of which players might receive the coveted Inform cards. It is somewhat risky to act on the transfer market based on the predictions. But with a little skill, you can win a lot of coins. We will show you how.
Trading with TOTW Predictions
Here’s how you can use predictions: To clarify misunderstandings: If you buy the normal card of a player who could be in the Team of the Week, it does not turn into an Inform card. These cards must be purchased or drawn separately. However, the normal cards can still help you.
This is why the value increases: When a player receives an Inform card, that player is not available in normal form in packs for a week. This means that players must act on the transfer market to acquire the card. We will show you this with several examples.
Example TOTW 4: Mauro Icardi
This is how Icardi’s value increased: In our first example, we will turn to Mauro Icardi. The striker from Inter Milan was included in the Team of the Week 4 and was also mentioned in several predictions prior to the release. In the graph below, you can see Icardi’s value development in October:
Between September 30 and October 8, a fluctuating increase can already be seen, which can be attributed to Icardi’s real performances. Then his value rises steeply.
The reason: From October 8, the predictions came that Icardi would be in the Team of the Week. On October 10, TOTW 4 was released, and the weekend after, Icardi was worth about 70,000 coins. If you had bought Icardi based on the predictions on October 8, you could have doubled your investment of about 35,000 coins.
Example TOTW 4: Marcel Sabitzer
This is how Sabitzer’s value increased: Icardi is not an isolated case. The system also works with weaker and therefore cheaper players. For example, Marcel Sabitzer, whose value usually ranges between 1,000 and 2,000 coins.
In the graph, you can see the same game as with Icardi: A fluctuating price development around the start of the month is followed by a skyrocketing rise on the release day of the TOTW 4. Notably, with Sabitzer, the hype lasts only a short time. This leads us to an important rule of prediction trading.
This is how you get the most coins: Don’t get greedy! Like a stock on the stock market, the value of a TOTW player can drop very quickly again. It’s about supply and demand: Demand rises sharply at the release of the Team of the Week – but especially with weaker players, it drops quickly again.
So sell your players before their value drops too low again! Then you can make a lot of coins with the normal cards of the TOTW players.
Inform Trading: How to use the TOTW
Here’s how to best utilize Inform cards: Once the TOTW is released, you can also make a lot of coins with the Inform cards. This is best done by simply drawing the popular cards from packs. However, you can also make profits with smart investments. We will show you this with the example of Ilkay Gündogan’s Inform card.
Example TOTW 2: Ilkay Gündogan
This is how Gündogan’s value increased: The Team of the Week 2 was released on September 26. If you drew Gündogan’s Inform card on that day, you should have sold it immediately: The value of IF cards is always highest on the first day! However, if you drew it a little later, a different approach is recommended.
This is why you should be patient with IF cards: Inform cards can be drawn from packs for a week. If you drew Gündogan on the weekend – say September 30 – the initial hype around the card is already over.
Now patience is required: As shown in the graph, the card was around 60,000 coins on September 30. This is the best moment to buy the card on the transfer market.
Because: In the following days, the value slowly increases again – especially from October 3. The reason: The new TOTW was released and the Gündogan card was no longer available in packs. From then on, the value rose again. Currently, the card is back at 80,000 coins and could thus bring you a solid profit.
If you follow these tips, you have a good chance of utilizing the Team of the Week profitably on the transfer market. You can find more opportunities to earn plenty of coins here:
