It has always been a chore to earn coins in FIFA Ultimate Team. The rewards after a completed game are too low to build a solid team.
You’d have to play countless matches to be able to afford a Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. So there are two options: Either you spend money by buying FIFA Points or you can get the coins through trading.
From dishwasher to millionaire – with silver players?
In the professional esports era that FIFA has been in for several years, bronze and silver players have been forgotten … until now. With bronze and silver cards you can earn one or the other FUT coin.
The bronze and silver packs don’t seem profitable at first glance, but appearances are deceptive. The premium versions of the packs cost 750 and 3,750 coins, and you can make a profit from almost every pack. Some individual cards, such as coats of arms or jerseys, are sometimes sold for more than 2,000 coins on the transfer market.
The packs often contain players who may not be useful on the pitch, but who can be worth a lot of money: Ultimate Team has weekly SBCs that require silver players. It can very well happen that the value of these players increases to 30,000 coins.
Those who have not drawn players out of bronze and silver packs can also sell cheaply and dearly with a good nose. You invest speculatively in players who may soon rise in price. You should always keep up to date with which players will soon be available as SBC.
The casual gamer will be ignorant of the value of certain bronze and silver players and will put them on the market well below their actual price. Above all, attention should be paid to players who belong to a top nation such as Germany, England or Spain and do not play in their home country.
The principle of “sniping” is best suited for purchasing rare cards cheaply. To do this, you select a minimum price that you want to pay a maximum, and update the market until an unsuspecting person offers the card you are looking for below its value.
A good example of this is the Englishman Bobby Duncan: He is a striker at Serie A club Fiorentina and costs 25,000 coins despite a 59 rating. Of course, nobody uses it in the game, but it does link Serie A to the Premier League.
It’s a useful and important tool in team building, and that’s why Bobby Duncan is so expensive. Drawing players of his kind in a bronze or silver pack is not that unlikely.
So you shouldn’t ignore the bronze and silver packs. If you are into FIFA coins, you are actually better off investing your time in bronze and silver trading than anywhere else.
A little tip at the end: The current price of each player can be checked on the futbin.com website. So you can find out what kind of jewels might be hidden in your bronze and silver packs.
