Good Times to Sell and Good Times to Buy
You finally came to the most important part of this article: the one that shows the right times to buy and the right times to sell.
Here are the events that you should pay attention.
- DAYS OF THE WEEK
The three days of the week with highest traffic in the FIFA 13 Ultimate Team market are, respectively, Sunday, Saturday and Monday.
As we explained in the Hours Method, high traffic times are great to buy but also to sell. Who sells in these days have many interested parties that inflates the cards prices. Who purchase in these days benefits of the high quantity of the cards for sale. They are so much that most of players do not find it since they do not refresh the page fast enough.
If the weekend is approaching, you should fill your watch list with cards to sell.
- THE START AND THE END OF THE GAME
The FIFA 13 Ultimate Team start is the best time to a trader make profit.
When the game is launched, the market is very irregular. There are not very large differences between the players cards’ prices: the lower rated players prices are inflated; the top players are cheap since there are not much money in circulation.
If, for example, you have the lucky of buying a Messi in the early days, after one month you can sell him for a price almost ten times higher.
One month before the FIFA 14 release is the right time to sell. Soon the cards’ prices will reach its minimum price.
- TOTW
Every Wednesdays, at 6pm of London, is launched a new TOTW (Team of the Week).
The regular cards’ prices tend to decrease whenever is launched a In Form version of its on the TOTW. This happens because there are many people trying to sell the NIF to buy the improved cards and, as you know, when the market tends to sell the prices fall.
If you own one of these regular cards try to sell it as soon as possible. If you are sure that a particular player, in who you are interested, will be the next TOTW, wait a few more days to be able to buy his regular card cheaper.
- TOTY and TOTS
The release of a TOTY or a TOTS has a slightly different effect on what happens with a TOTW.
At such times there is a lot of people buying packages to try their luck. Most of them have to sell their cards to get coins for the investment. What ends up happening is a considerable price reduction of all FIFA 13 Ultimate Team cards.
- UP
Whenever the rating and the attributes of a player are revised upwards, which usually happens in January or February, his previous regular card undergoes a strong devaluation. This decrease is even greater if it is launched a UP card for a player that already have an IF card.
- TRANSFERS
If a player moves to a more popular club or league, the price of his new card will be higher. Otherwise, it will be lower.
The old card will become increasingly rare, as it will not come in packages anymore, so its price will increase after a few weeks.
- NEW IF
Every time a new IF card is released for a player who already had one, the earlier versions devaluate.
- CHRISTMAS
There are a few times of the year in which packages sales are higher. Christmas is the greatest of them.
When it happens, prices go down because many of the players put on sale the cards that they received on the packages.
- HAPPY HOURS
In Happy Hours special packages are put on sale, increasing exponentially the number of sales.
Also during this period cards’ prices reach the lower values returning to its normal after it.
- TOURNAMENTS
In the early hours of a tournament and in the first hours after it, the average cards’ prices usually changes a lot. The higher the value of the prize, the greater will be the changes.
The requirements of the tournaments affect the cards’ prices. For example: if the tournament requires silver players, the trend is to have many people buying silver players at the beginning of the tournament and discarding them at bargain prices at the end of it.
- IRL PERFORMANCE
Who thinks that what happens IRL (In Real Life) does not affect the FIFA 13 Ultimate Team market, are extremely wrong.
The good performances of players in big matches increase the number of people who want to play with them and consequently their prices in the market.
Even the great victories of some clubs, since they have mediatic impact, makes the price of their players rise in the FIFA 13 Ultimate Team market.
