Common Mistakes 2
🕑 Added 2021-09-08 11:23:44 +0000 UTCPanic Selling
Panic selling is something we see on the market every day and it rarely makes sense to follow the downtrend. As explained in previous guides, if you think a card is going to continue the downtrend then it's smart to sell, however, panic selling shows the example of everyone selling at the same time and oversupplying the market. That makes the cards cheaper than they are and resulting in heavier losses.
Avoiding this is tougher than most people think but a simple solution is to review the risk/reward ratio again. If a card is down 30% in less than 1h due to panic then it's most likely panic selling and we can expect a rise after everyone stopped selling. Every panic eventually ends and a rebound starts.
Opening Packs with Coins
Opening packs with coins is probably one of the most unrewarding things in FIFA. The concept of packs is to make the user lose coins while rewarding him as little as possible, that’s why we stay away from it.
However, it’s a possible option with the newly introduced Preview Packs if the pack is worth more than the cost. In all other cases, it's not worth opening any packs with Coins.
Doing too many SBCs
SBCs are another trap built-in FIFA. It's very important to understand how SBCs are ruining the club in the long run, it’s another concept to get coins out of your club while rewarding you as little as possible again.
9/10 SBC cards get outdated within a month after the SBC release or slowly drop behind the current power curve. On top of that, these coins turn into untradeable Cards without any value except other SBCs. That almost forces you to complete more and more SBCs to recover from a loss.
In general, SBCs are not worth it especially Party Bag or Promo Release SBCs, these usually give out the lowest-rated Player. Complete SBC only for the fun factor and not to make a profit or a squad improvement.
Squad Building
Probably a mistake you already know but changing the squad multiple times can reduce your coin total by more than 30%, especially during the weekends.
It can be tough during the early stages but it's important to know what squad you want to play with, changing it multiple times is a huge mistake. You lose 5% on each sale due to the EA Tax and it can go even lower if the market already starts to show the first WL sell-off signs.
Having no squad or using as many objective cards as possible can reduce any coin losses.
Summary
These mistakes are more about common issues around FUT and the player base. We don’t want to limit anyone and don’t want to tell you how to have fun in FUT, these are just recommendations.
We are here to help you out and give you the best advice, that’s why we have to warn you about the EA Traps. Please feel free to complete SBCs and play WL if you want to, we are here if you need additional coins on your journey!
