The prices on the FIFA 23 transfer market are dropping. Over the week, many cards have suddenly become significantly cheaper. This has advantages but also disadvantages.
When did the crash start? Tracking the prices on the transfer market of FIFA 23 shows that cards tend to become cheaper the longer the game is out. This is also due to the many events in FIFA 23 where new, stronger cards emerge, overtaking older ones.
Thus, for most cards, a downward price curve develops. However, since last weekend around October 28, there was suddenly a bend – and many cards crashed.
Now, numerous top players have hit record lows.
Some examples: We look at some exciting cards whose prices have dropped significantly (via futbin, PS prices).
- Cristiano Ronaldo
- approx. 500,000 on October 28
- Now 330,000
- Erling Haaland
- approx. 170,000 on October 28
- Now approx. 86,000
- Lionel Messi
- approx. 246,000 on October 28
- Now 165,000
- Jules Koundé
- approx. 39,000 on October 28
- Now 19,000
- Ferland Mendy
- approx. 89,000 on October 28
- Now 57,000
- Christopher Nkunku
- approx. 70,000 on October 28
- Now 30,000
- Federico Valverde
- approx. 21,000 on October 28
- Now 7,100
Many cards saw strong dips again this weekend, from Friday to Sunday. Such price crashes are particularly noticeable for many gold cards that are suddenly significantly cheaper.
But it’s not just these that are affected. Popular special cards like Rulebreakers Dzeko are also affected, albeit not as excessively. On Friday, November 4, it still cost around 187,000 coins and is now down to 153,000.
Overall, the transfer market seems to be orienting downwards. This has advantages but also disadvantages – depending on how one is currently acting or has acted.
What does the transfer market crash mean for players in FIFA 23?
Depending on the situation, the crash in prices can be worthwhile for players or cause frustration.
If you have some coins in your account and plan to strengthen your team soon, you can now do so noticeably cheaper. Cards like Haaland for example, used to cost double to triple what they do now. They are now more accessible.
And even with better cards coming into the game: There are many gold cards like Haaland that are still very strong. Looking at the list of currently most popular players in FIFA 23, you can find some cards that may be worthwhile now.
Moreover, the crash is beneficial for players who primarily rely on SBCs and untradeable cards and have invested little in cards. These cards, in that sense, have no value on the market and are therefore unaffected. Additionally, now you can buy more cheap players for the team or SBCs at a lower price.
However, the crash is frustrating if you have just bought expensive cards on the transfer market that fell shortly after. Especially trading in FIFA 23 is annoying. Anyone who bought Haaland a week or two ago has essentially “lost coins” – at least if they want to resell Haaland.
One can only console oneself with the fact that many other cards are now cheaper and you might not need as many coins for upgrades.
How do you see the current market crash? Are you happy about the cheaper cards, or have you lost coins? Let us know in the comments!
