Especially the players who have the most performance on the pitch or value in SBCs can bring coins effectively at different times. And here you should catch the right time to sell.
Things went completely wrong recently with the RTTF card of Bebou. Its price kept rising and had potential for even more – then it suddenly collapsed.
The effects vary from player to player. For weaker players to make sudden price spikes, a lot has to happen or a suitable challenge or SBC must appear. But that is also possible.

Many players in FIFA 21 wonder when selling players makes the most coins. Trading in Ultimate Team is a science in itself – but there are a few points to orient yourself by.
Why is timing important when selling players? Similar to the stock market, the transfer market in FIFA 21 is dynamic. Players do not have fixed selling prices, but can achieve various prices within a certain range. This means: You can sell a player, for example, for 2,000 coins, but he might fetch more on another day.
Many players use certain trading methods to increase their coin balance in FUT. You can also find some trading tips in the MeinMMO guide.
This article, however, is about a very specific aspect: When should you sell players to make the most profit?
FIFA 21: Sell or keep players?
This is a question players will often ask themselves when they have just opened a pack with new cards. After all, while you can check the market prices to see how much players are currently selling for, you do not directly know if they were worth double just the day before or if they have the potential to rise further.
To do this, you need to look outside the tools that the game provides. One option is the page futbin, where you can track the price development of players on the transfer market.
Good times to sell players in FIFA 21
It is important to note that not every method and every timing applies to every player card. However, a few mechanisms can be observed with different players.
This applies, for example, to cards that are meta-relevant in FIFA 21. Looking at a normal week, two key points can be identified regarding selling.
Sell on Thursday evening: This time is often the best moment to sell players. Why? On the one hand, players receive their rewards from the Weekend League and the rewards from Division Rivals on Thursdays. This means many players have coins that they want to spend.
In addition, many players are now restructuring their teams for the Weekend League. Therefore, strong and meta-relevant players like Marcus Rashford can achieve higher prices on Thursday evenings. You can find comparable cards in the list of the best players under 50,000 coins.
Here is an example of price development from futbin:

Here you can see the price for Marcus Rashford between February 1 and February 8 – two Mondays. He achieved the highest price on the Thursday in between. On PlayStation, Rashford suddenly commanded a high price of 56,000 coins – on the surrounding days only 44,000 and 46,000 coins. And this leads us to the second point.
Hold on Sunday evening/Monday: On these days, you should generally avoid selling your strong players. The Weekend League is over and many players flood the market with cards they no longer need. It’s better to hold onto players until the next Thursday.
What time should I sell? Generally, it is better to put players on the market in the evening rather than in the morning. The reason: On the one hand, players are more active in the evening, and new content is also introduced into the game at that time – such as SBCs.
Monitor SBCs and sell players
Why are SBCs important in trading? There are exceptions to the rule that can earn you a lot of coins if you sell players at the right time. One of these exceptions is SBCs – Squad Building Challenges. Here, players must exchange very specific cards to receive rewards – and suddenly pay more on the transfer market than usual.
A good example are the Champions League SBCs, which usually occur during weeks when the real Champions League is taking place. Here, Champions League cards (UCL) are needed, which are usually rather useless, but suddenly become expensive.
For example, you can consider the UCL card of Axel Witsel. It normally costs about 8,700 coins, but between February 15 and 17, it suddenly rose sharply to 13,000 coins. Those are a Tuesday and a Wednesday, making them the right selling time.

The reason: Players needed good UCL cards for SBCs. And if you keep this in mind, you can buy cards low beforehand to sell them high on the market later.
A second example was recently the “Mid/Prime Icon Player Pick” SBC. Here, players needed high-rated cards to exchange for icons. The consequence was that the prices of highly-rated cards exploded.
One such case was the card of Joshua Kimmich, who has a rating of 88 and usually costs between 40,000 and 50,000 coins. But when the SBC came, Kimmich jumped to a full 75,000 coins. Those who sold at that time achieved significantly higher prices.

It is therefore worth keeping an eye on SBCs and aligning your player sales accordingly. Even player SBCs can have an effect: For example, the Ronaldo Flashback SBC led to an increase in player cards that could be well linked with the Portuguese.
The effects vary from player to player. For weaker players to make sudden price spikes, a lot has to happen or a suitable challenge or SBC must appear. But that is also possible.
Especially the players who have the most performance on the pitch or value in SBCs can bring coins effectively at different times. And here you should catch the right time to sell.
