Last update: 08 October 2018
You need to learn the basic rules of the trading market before you will be able to earn good money from selling players. Next, you can select one of the available ways of earning money. This chapter contains the basics of trading and earning money in FUT (FIFA 19 Ultimate Team).
Basics of trading
FIFA 19 Ultimate Team's transfer market is the place where you can find players and coaches but also, i.e. kits, icons, contract cards etc. You need to learn the basics of the transfer market if you want to earn money. This chapter contains all the necessary information that will help you understand the trading process in FIFA 19.
Tax
All players want to get the biggest amount of money for their players or consumables. Remember that you receive 95% of the price per transaction. 5% goes on the tax. When you make a transaction with small amount of money, i.e. a card purchased for 1,000 coins and sold for 1,100, you won't notice any problems because you are still 45 coins ahead - not much but it is still a profit. A problem can appear when you start making transactions that cost a lot of money - here, it is easier to make a mistake that can cost you a lot. For example, when you buy a card for 100,000 coins and you sell it for 101,000, you lose more than 4,000 coins. Below you can see how this works:
- You bought a card for 100,000 coins.
- You sold it for 101,000 coins.
- You have received 95% of that transaction which is 95,950 coins.
- You have 4,050 coins less than you had at the beginning.
Think hard before every bigger transaction. Learn the basics of this mechanic and get used to pay 5% from every transaction before you start spending big sums. Thanks to that you will avoid situations where you lose a lot of hard-earned money.
Checking prices of owned players
Remember to check market prices for players when you are looking for new ones. You can do that by entering a player's menu and selecting "compare price" option. If you have a valuable player in your possession but you don't want to use him, you can always put him up for auction. You don't have to worry about the 5% tax when you are selling a player received from a free pack - you didn't spend any money on him which so you lose nothing. When you decide to sell a player, the first thing you should do is to check other offers and see what is the lowest "buy now" price. If the game shows you a few pages of results and searching the lowest price is too troublesome, you can go back to the search bar, enter the player's name and look for the highest "buy now" price. Then, you have to keep lowering the price until you won't see any results. By doing that you can set the lowest "buy now" price which will allow you to sell your player fast.
FUT app
FUT Web App is a very helpful trading tool. Without it, you can have problems with earning good profit in FIFA 19. The app can be accessed here: https://www.easports.com/fifa/ultimate-team/web-app or you can download it on your phone. Log in everyday to receive various rewards, i.e. 500 coins for first log in or better packs during next log ins. FUT Web App is also a big help for traders - you can quickly check auctions and put up your cards for bidding again. The FUT app is also a great alternative for the in-game transfer market.
Earning money
You need a lot of money if you want to make the best team in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team. It is hard to earn a lot by playing matches with the AI or in online modes. You should use other methods related to trading and transfer market. Below you can find a few methods that will provide you the biggest profit.
The bronze pack method
The bronze pack method is about buying the cheapest pack with cards (it costs 400 coins) and then selling everything you got in it. Even one good card can give you a good amount of money - certain bronze players are used by others to complete objectives in Squad Building Challenges. Put them out for bidding three times, auctions should last 1 or 3 hours. Besides players, selling contract and fitness cards is also good way to earn money. You can even earn a bit of money by selling kits of well-known football clubs. The bronze pack method is the least risky way of earning money which is why it is the best for beginners.
Sniping
Sniping is another good source of profit but it requires more time and money. Here, you should focus on more expensive cards so you can get the biggest profit. For example, with 20,000 coins you can look for players who cost around 15,000. Of course, less money in your FUT wallet means that you will have to look for cheaper players. However, you shouldn't look for players who cost less than 3,000 coins. When you find the player you want, change the option for "buy now" filter so the game will choose the cheapest offers. Now, keep refreshing the list from time to time and wait until someone creates an even cheaper offer. Due to the high popularity of this method, you have to be vigilant and act very quick - when someone creates an offer that is cheaper by several hundreds of coins, you should buy it immediately. After that you have to put up this card for the cheapest "buy now" price.
Players useful in Squad Building Challenges
The Squad Building mode is a good opportunity to earn a lot of money - certain challenges require you to get specific players. This can increase demand for players who are necessary in completing more and more challenging objectives. Check out www.futbin.com - there, you can see all the players necessary in completing specific objectives. Another solution is to enter the name of an objective into a web search engine and see what other players did to complete it. Here is how you can earn money by relying on Squad Building Challenges - buy selected players for a small price and then put them up on auctions for a higher price. Search for these players on the transfer market in the afternoon hours (4 p.m. - 9 p.m.). Your own biddings should last a few hours and be live during night. You can check your results the next morning.
Long-term investments
Long-term investments require a lot of money because the players you will buy aren't cheap. Focus on players with high overall score. Look for and buy only gold cards with useful and playable players who can be on a wanted list of many beginners who are creating their first golden team. Besides that, you should also look for players from the best Leagues, nationalities or those who are known from the media. Another good thing to do is to look for players who are part of Team of the Week. Purchased players can be part of your own squad for a few days and then you can sell them on the transfer market. This is especially important at the beginning of a season.
