HOW TO UNDERSTAND & ANALYZE A FLUCTUATION WITH SPECIAL CARDS
There are 2 main methods for how you can do this:
Method 1: Refer to FUTBIN / FUTWIZ Daily and Hourly Graphs. This method requires a lot of regular checks and is a much slower process.
Method 2: Use our Multi-Platform Website prices which can be found inside of our Subscribers area. This is the easiest and most time-efficient method.
Using Method 1 is a lot more time-consuming and provides you with data that can be seen by all FIFA users who visit these public websites for pricing history. This means you are competing with every other player/trader on Ultimate Team who is using the same source to gain their knowledge with Pricing History for that Special card.
If you use Method 2 you will be viewing regularly updated data that is monitored and filtered out to identify the data you need to know in that current moment rather than spending minutes analyzing a player’s graph etc… It is as simple as typing a name into the search box and the data you need to know is right in front of you!
However, for the players that cannot afford to use the website subscriber areas, we will show you an example to analyze directly from FUTBIN / FUTWIZ
METHOD 1 – USING FUTBIN / FUTWIZ PLAYER PRICE GRAPHS
For this example, we will be analyzing the fluctuation for Bukayo Saka – 86 rated inform using FUTWIZ.
We will be looking to determine the “Low Point“, “High Point“, “Good Buy Price” and the “Good Sell Price“
To do this we will need to search the player on Futwiz.com and find the card we are looking to gather Pricing Data for.
From the Graph image provided, you can filter it by Platform and sort it to either “Daily Graph” or “Hourly Graph“.This information is very helpful to note down or memorize for a player’s price fluctuation because you can see how the card has adjusted in value over a 24-48 hour period.
This is beneficial for many reasons:
‣ You can determine if the card fluctuates more compared to other Special cards which means you are open to more profit potential.
‣ Easily identify a “Good Buy Price” & “Good Sell Price” from the past 24 hours pricing history on the m
‣ Gather a large understanding of how Special cards naturally behave on a day-to-day basis.
You also can view the market sales history for each player! (FUTWIZ website)
Take a look at the graph below where we’ve highlighted the “Low Point” and “High Point” – these represent the lowest and highest values on the graph.
Highest Values: For your selling target, focus on prices between the “High Point” and the next three highest values from the Hourly graph.
Lowest Values: To target your buying price, aim between the “Low Point” and the next two lowest values from the Hourly graph.
(Don’t forget to consider EA Tax when calculating the selling price.)
Did you notice a recurring pattern in this example? The “Low Point” occurred around 7:00 PM UK Time, while the “High Point” was at 7:00 AM UK Time and also in the late evening.
For the best opportunities to buy Special cards at good prices, keep a lookout between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM. (UK Time)
(Remember: 6PM content releases can impact card values.)
Remember to select the “Sold Prices” button beneath the price box on Futwiz.com that applies to your platform to access accurate market sales history data. This step is crucial.
In the image below, you’ll notice the “Market Sales History” feature within most player pages on FUTWIZ. This empowers you to review recent sales on Ultimate Team (though only a selection of sales is provided).
This feature helps you observe whether the card indeed sold at the “High Point” as identified in our graph analysis.
Take a look at the example below. Within a 24-hour period, this card was sold at a “Low Point” for 23,500 coins and at its “High Point” for 40,000 coins. After EA tax, you would receive 38,000 coins. In the second image, even selling for the average price of 27,500 coins after buying at 23,500 coins would generate a profit of 2,625 coins, considering EA Tax – all from just one special card trade. Imagine multiplying this process with 10, 20, 30, or more Specials simultaneously. As your coin balance grows, so does your profit potential!
Keep in mind that these sales are just a small sample. Selling prices can go higher, especially when factoring in the card’s chemistry style, which we’ll explain next!
