Keep in mind that not all cards have the same values in both installments. However, they are comparable and differ at most by one point in overall rating.
| Player | Price in FIFA 21 (7 days after release) | Price in FIFA 22 (7 days after release) |
| Rashford | 196,000 coins | 120,000 coins |
| Lewandowski | 213,000 coins | 41,000 coins |
| Havertz | 114,000 coins | 4,612 coins |
| C. Ronaldo | 1,700,000 coins | 1,300,000 coins |
| Pogba | 233,000 coins | 115,000 coins |
Interestingly, Lewandowski has even become one point stronger in FIFA 22 (91 -> 92) and also fits much better into the current game meta. Nevertheless, his price in FIFA 22 is much lower than in FIFA 21 at the same time.
The comparison clearly shows that cards in FIFA 22 are indeed much cheaper. But what is the reason for this?
Why are prices in FUT 22 so low?
What are the reasons for the cheap prices? On reddit, the topic is currently being hotly discussed, and FIFA players are trying to figure out why the transfer market has such low prices.
Here are the most interesting theories, all based on the fact that FUT 22 players receive significantly more strong cards:
- There are better chances of getting top cards in packs in FUT 22, as the pack probabilities have slightly increased.
- The preview packs ensure that players only buy packs with strong cards.
- Thanks to the 4,600 FIFA points that buyers of the Ultimate Edition received, more packs have been opened.
- In FUT 22, the FUT Champions rewards and Division Rivals are stronger, which also leads to more strong cards.
Many of the reasons mentioned above are likely responsible for the increased availability of strong cards on the transfer market, consequently causing prices to drop. We are curious to see how long this will continue and whether we can soon get Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappé at a bargain price.

The transfer market in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team is going crazy, and really strong cards are cheaper than ever. But why are there so many bargains right now?
In recent years, top cards were always associated with high prices. If you wanted an 86-rated Pogba for your midfield in FIFA 21, you had to pay 233,000 coins shortly after the release.
In FIFA 22, Pogba (87), who is even one point stronger, currently costs only about 115,000 coins.
The price drops are significant: The transfer market of FUT 22 is quite friendly to players’ budgets. Really strong cards are currently available at unusually low prices.
Here are some cards that have dropped in price since the release of FIFA 22 (as of 08.10.2021):
- Haaland (88) cost 72,000 coins at release -> now 33,000 coins
- Lukaku (88) cost 48,000 coins at release -> now 23,000 coins
- Goretzka (87) cost 185,000 coins at release -> now 160,000 coins
- Werner (84) cost 40,000 coins at release -> now 25,000 coins
- Rashford (85) cost 155,000 coins at release -> now 120,000 coins
- Lewandowski (92) cost 57,000 coins at release -> now 41,000 coins
A rapid price drop for many cards that is likely to please FUT players. Now many more players can afford top cards.
It was different in FIFA 21: In the last FIFA installment, the situation was quite different; strong cards had relatively high prices at the beginning. We show you the values of top cards from back then (7 days after the release of FIFA 21) and compare them with the cards from FIFA 22 (7 days after the release of FIFA 22).
Keep in mind that not all cards have the same values in both installments. However, they are comparable and differ at most by one point in overall rating.
| Player | Price in FIFA 21 (7 days after release) | Price in FIFA 22 (7 days after release) |
| Rashford | 196,000 coins | 120,000 coins |
| Lewandowski | 213,000 coins | 41,000 coins |
| Havertz | 114,000 coins | 4,612 coins |
| C. Ronaldo | 1,700,000 coins | 1,300,000 coins |
| Pogba | 233,000 coins | 115,000 coins |
