    TOTS FIFA 19 : SBCs, Objectives and Packs

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 09:37 PM PDT

    My summary from FIFA 19 of what the features we had then and maybe will see again for FIFA 20.

    Your ideas welcome. I'll throw in some of my own.

    They key things to remember; firstly there was a steady weekly format for each group of TOTS and each featured Objectives for players, Featured SBCs for players, Repeatable upgrade SBCs specific to the major leagues, a Guaranteed TOTS SBC from each squad, and cheaper Challenge SBCs with pack rewards, one per week, available for one day. The second thing is that it spanned from mid May to late June. So some planning and lots of patience are needed.

    The Featured SBCs were for example 89 TOTS Ben Arfa at 100k for 2x 84 squads or 86 TOTS Kevin Mbabu at 40k for 1x 83 squad.

    Flashback SBCs were for example 93 FB Firmino 2x 87 squad, 1x 86 rated. North of 700k.

    The Repeatable Upgrade SBCs were either all gold or all gold rare and gave league based rewards. eg Ligue 1 Upgrade for 11 nr golds from any league would give 3 gold Ligue 1 players, one rare. Cost about 7k during hype. Alongside that we saw an 81+ Upgrade which for 11 rare golds gave two rare gold Ligue 1 players 81 OVR or higher. I suspect these will be the ones we don't see again in FIFA 20.

    The Challenge SBCs featured requirements for players from that league nad gave packs as rewards. eg the EPL TOTS Challenge gave a 50k pack for requirements of 3 EPL players and a 70 chem squad 82 rated. 10k at the time.

    Each squad also has a guaranteed SBC. So for the costs given you would be guaranteed one TOTS from that group. Risky.

    SBC and Link Required TOTS Rating Chem Cost 2019 Date
    EFL TOTS Guarantee nil 83 70 20k Sun, May 12
    Community TOTS Guarantee 1 84 80 75k
    SPL TOTS Guarantee nil 80 70 8k
    PL TOTS Guarantee 1 86 70 180k Tue, May 21
    Liga NOS TOTS Guarantee nil 81 70 9k
    Bundesliga TOTS Guarantee 1 85 75 110k Tue, May 28
    Süper Lig TOTS Guarantee nil 82 40 10k
    LaLiga TOTS Guarantee 1 85 80 110k Tue, Jun 04
    Eredivisie TOTS Guarantee 1 84 70 80k
    Serie A TOTS Guarantee 1 85 80 110k Tue, Jun 11
    LATAM TOTS Guarantee nil 82 70 12k
    Ligue 1 TOTS Guarantee 1 85 80 90k Tue, Jun 18
    ROW TOTS Guarantee nil 82 70 12k
    Ultimate TOTS Guarantee 1 87 70 185k Tue, Jun 25​

    One last thing, in late July we got the repeatable TOTS Upgrade SBC with a guaranteed TOTS player from the major leagues, for 90k with an 86 rated 30 chem squad. Which kills the price of the good TOTS.

    Fun fact: Brighi was 97 rated in Fifa 03, the best card on the game. Only R9 has ever received a better card at the start of a Fifa game.

    Skill Moves Cheat Sheet - V2.0 (Incl. XBOX)

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 03:29 AM PDT

    I posted a Skill Moves cheat sheet I created for Fifa 20 and a lot of people pointed out that there were quite a few important skills missing. I've added in all skills mentioned and I think it's the vast majority (Excluding Juggling Skills as it just gets too big).

    I couldn't get everything on 1 page without it being too small, so it's 2 pages.

    I've also created one for Xbox as requested:

    How to invest in FIFA 20

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 11:29 PM PDT

    So I've seen a lot of posts on here that have been asking how to trade/make coins/who to buy for team of the season, so I thought I'd make a post to save everyone a whole lot of effort. Here is how to trade in Fifa 20.

    Firstly, here's what you have to get into your head: trading tips do not work. At all. If someone online is telling you to buy player X for Y amount of coins, it is already too late. That person has probably cornered the market and is trying to get you to buy his own players. It's a glorified ponzi scheme. This is why I will only lay out the technicals and not tell you who or what to buy - this is better in the long run anyway.

    I believe that all FIFA trading can be broken down into two styles: investing and bid/Bin spread trading. I will cover both.

    Investing

    Investing is the long term approach, and generally has a higher reward/time ratio while also carrying slightly higher risk. Here you buy players in bulk that you believe will go up in value in the short term. Key players to buy are gold rares/high rateds which will be useful for SBCs or objectives. For example, in upcoming TOTS SBCs, 86 rateds will probably be useful, so you buy them up at X and sell them for X + 3k and make a profit. Making sure that your selling price incorporates EA's 5% selling tax.

    Here's a simple equation:

    Selling price = (purchase price + profit margin) / 0.95.

    Remember for this method, you are speculating that the value of the player will go up, so you will have to hold until this reality comes into fruition, and it is not guaranteed to happen. Finally, you have to make sure that the player's price hasn't already priced in the change of value (the market has already made the price higher to account for the players use in SBCs, this will mean that if an SBC does occur, the player's price won't rise much). To check if an event is already priced in, look at a player's daily price graph on FUTBIN and see if it has risen over the last few days.

    Trading

    Trading is my favourite way to make money on Fifa 20, it's so simple and very low risk. This can also be broken down into two categories: high margin and high volume.

    Before I tell you how to trade in FIFA 20, you have to understand two things.

    Firstly, the idea of a bid/BIN spread. The average bid price of a card is the average amount you can buy the card for using the auction-style bidding process, while BIN is the lowest price that you can buy the card for instantly on the market place. The average bid of a card will always be lower than the BIN of a card. The difference between the average bid versus the lowest BIN is what is called the spread.

    Spread = BIN - Average Bid

    Secondly, the difference between margin and volume of trades. Margin is the profit made in a trade (adjusted for EA's selling tax). Its equation is:

    Margin = (Selling price x 0.95) - cost.

    Note that selling price is always multiplied by 0.95 BEFORE adjusting for cost. This means that buying and selling LOWER priced cards will more often than not create a higher margin (or more realistically, a lower-risk margin).

    While volume is the speed at which you can buy and sell cards (for example, gold cards are bought and sold more frequently than silver cards as they have greater utility).

    The profit that you can make in a given time period is:

    Profit = Margin x Volume.

    Now, trading can be done by either trading high volume, or high margin, cards.

    For high volume, say for example, there is card X that has an average bid of 700 and an average BIN of 950.

    You bid on as many card Xs as you can at the average bid, 700. You then sell the cards by listing them for their average BIN, taking advantage of their bid/BIN spread, making 250 coins per trade. To make a substantial amount, you will need a high volume, to up the total profit. So you buy and sell as many as you can.

    For high margin, the same process is true, but you buy and sell fewer cards, but that is fine as the high margin means you don't need to turnaround as many cards to make as much profit. Typically, higher margin cards are bronzes/silvers that are useful for SBCs. You can buy them all on bid and corner the market, selling them at a higher BIN than normal, with most SBC-doers willing to pay the extra price to save a few extra seconds.

    This strategy relies on there being a scarcity of the card in question and few viable substitutes. This means you can easily control the market, and the price rise won't cause the other people to use alternative cards.

    Word of warning for high margin strategies: Often in high margin strategies, you may stumble across a card that seems ripe for a high margin spread play. However, the BIN may be inflated by another trader already operating in the same space. If this happens, you may buy up the cards, and find that the BIN quickly collapses with insufficient demand to keep it high. Therefore, make sure that the BIN price makes sense (is the card really useful for SBCs or objectives etc?). For this reason, I believe that high volume trading is better for beginner traders instead, due to a better risk profile.

    Deal Sourcing

    It is actually quite easy to source a trading opportunity. For high volume and high margin trades, large spreads are typically found in SBCs as people rush to buy players to complete the challenge. Therefore, it can be easy to make a profit on SBC cards. To find a card just look at a sample of different cards that could fit a certain SBC.

    Risk Mitigation

    What you do not want is to put all your coins into players and then be unable to sell them. Therefore, an easy way to reduce risk is to find players whose bid is around their quicksell value. This means that the bid can not fall very far, limiting potential downside.

    THING TO REMEMBER: Always account for the 5% tax when working out bid/BIN spread.

    Tl;dr I lost my investment banking internship because of Covid-19, thought i'd waste my limited financial knowledge by teaching you guys really basic trading.

    Really Simple BPM - Full Guide

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 04:45 AM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    Even though it seems really easy to do for most people, a lot of folks seem to have trouble with BPM (Bronze Pack Method). Others think it doesn't work. Others think it takes a hundred hours a week.

    So, I thought I'd boil it down to the very bare bones and see if I could help some of those folks see how easy it is, while leaving no room for error.

    For the record, I have 235 league SBC bronzes in my club as of this morning. You DON'T need that many to get started. You don't need any, in fact. The less you have, the more of a coin balance you'll need to start with before BPM starts to break even or become profitable, though.

    Unlike a lot of others, I DON'T repeatedly do the CSL/Saudi/MLS leagues. In my opinion, there's more value in selling the requirements than repeatedly completing the leagues. Same goes for Ligue 1 and Sudamericana. I rinse all other leagues and generally get enough silvers from those packs to not have to bother with bronze upgrades. I also make way more coins from BPM than I'll need to cover any silvers that I'll need to buy. So I discard dead bronzes, rather than rinse them.

    I use any CSL/MLS/Saudi/Ligue 1 golds for SBC fodder.

    I just open 400 coin packs, then follow these rules:-

    Sell List 1) Squad Fitness 2) All CSL/Saudi/Championship/MLS/Ligue 1 cards 3) All Sudamericana cards 4) All duplicate league SBC cards 5) Dutch managers 6) Rare Irish/Northern Irish players 7) Rare Argentinian players (check price - list any that are selling for over 200) 8) +5 Pace, +5 All Attributes cards (200 each) Keep List 1) ENG 1/GER 1/ITA 1/ESP 1/HOL/POR/TUR League SBC cards 2) Libertadores cards (any league) Individual Player Fitness Cards These may sell on PS4 for 200 coins during WL, even if they take a few relists. On Xbox, they are much, much harder to sell, so just discard them. 

    And here are three 10-pack runs done back-to-back this morning, so anybody who is still confused can see how and why it makes a profit. (I don't keep these records normally...I just did it for this post!)

    10 packs - Run 1

    10 packs - Run 2

    10 packs - Run 3

    Total coin profit from 30 packs was 8,981, which is a 299 coin profit per pack, on average.

    Also added 6 new players to the club, with a market value of 3,800 in total.

    And the whole run of 30 would have taken less time than playing one half of a match, if I wasn't writing everything down. Once you have the rules in your head, you can process a pack in ten seconds or less.

    This is all going to be really old news to people who run BPM often, but I thought it might help some folks who are finding it tough to get started or work out why people swear by BPM.

    It turns out I forgot to add sale prices for Shabani and Hoekstra, who went for 700 and 200. So add 900 to what I said above :D
