Q: When was Black Friday for FIFA 15 ?
A: Between November 28 and December 1, 2015.
Q: Which Happy Hours can we expect on these days ?
A: By the experience of previous years, 25k or 35k packs will be permanently available on the store all day on Friday and Monday. Additionally, Lightning Rounds should be available on both days.
Q: What are Lightning Rounds ?
A: Lightning Rounds are new rounds of happy hours every three hours hour in which promo packs are available on the store until they run out.
Q: How Lightning Rounds work ?
A: On Lightning Rounds there are a global limited amount of packs to be sold. The first to come are the first to be served. On other hand, without a limit of packs for each user, you are free to buy how many promo packs you want as long as they are not sold out.
Q: When Lightning Rounds will take place ?
A: According to EA Sports, every hour between Friday 5am and Saturday 5am (UK time).

Q: What will happen to the market due to Black Friday for FIFA 16 ?

After the Cyber Monday, prices will go up again but not to the levels between Fut United and Black Friday.
Q: When should I sell my cards ?
A: If you really want to sell your cards, do it as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the more they will be devalued. Don’t sell them on Black Friday.

Q: Which one is more important: FUT United or Black Friday ?
A: Usually it is Black Friday which can be partial explained with the debut of 100k packs in the game. However, this year these packs made their first appearance during FUT United, balancing the importance of FUT United and Black Friday.
Black Friday for FIFA 15 Overview
Ok. But you agree this could be a good idea.
Yes.
But what about January and February. I dont mind holding on to them. If I look at prices for Benzema on Futbin as much as 22nd or 24th of November it was 50k+. Wont the prices go back as much.
I remember in Fut 15 Benzema was as high as 60k in April when I got Fifa 15. What do you think.
If you don’t mind to hold them so much time, go ahead.
Hi Rodrigo,
Is this the best time to invest in players and stock them. That is buy players as the prices are low. I understand that after the holiday season that is in January prices will go up when one can sell them for a profit.
Cheers
I don’t think so. Prices will be lower during FUTMas
Hi Rodrigo
I got Aubameyang in Black Friday in PS4. Since i got him his price has been going up and now he sells in 40k, so my question is if should i sell him now or wait? Will prices go up or down and if they are, when?
Sell him. In three weeks he will cost less than 30k.
I will sell him. As always, you helped me a lot. Thank you very much Rodrigo.
Hi Rodrigo, I am looking forward to buy some players in PS4. i need your help, i want to now when will prices go down ?
Thank you
On best Happy Hours during TOTY and the days before it (stats on Jan 11). Also during FUTMas and now with the TOTGS.
what about cybermonday?
We published the Cyber Monday program on this page.
Rodrigo, no packs at all are available on FIFA 15 New Season, except for 7.5k etc. packs. Why have EA Sports done this ?
Well, you will have to ask to them.
Hey Rodrigo,
Do you know the exact time of the 100k lightning round at Monday?
No. But, unless they release more than one, it should be the last lightning round.
hi rodrigo can you help me to make a team with silva ozil and william and diego costa thanks rodrigo for you help
it said in the video there’s something new coming could you tell us what it is?
Tournaments, lightning rounds, increased chances…
When do you recommend me to invest in players? Friday or Monday? (Because obviously on the other days there will be no lightning rounds)
Friday morning.
Rodrigo, when is the best time for me to rebuy ronaldo for the cheapest?
So Rodrigo, I am confused now – what is special about BF if the packs are the same? I just packed Song – seriously? It is similar to anytime I got a pack. What s all special about it then? If players prices are going down but I only have 50k what can that do to me? Shall I keep getting packs by my 2,000 FIFA points or it is just a waste of time and points/money?
Please tell me what is the best way to make use of this so called BF?
Packs are a waste of money/coins.
BF have special tournaments, many Happy Hours (100k packs for example are rare), free loan reward packs, etc…
Didn’t get any good player at packs Cz it was a rip off and o couldn’t even find the (50 or 100k ) lightening rounds they were talking about. Shall I wait until Monday or go for the 25 K which got me no good players yesterday?
Also, I bought a couple of great players that came cheap yesterday and I built a team that I like a lot even though those players aren t my favorite in real life but this is why FUT is such a great game that actually synchronizes with real life soccer
I got Candreva, AZp, Witsel, Firmino, Vidal (loan), Thiago, Basta, Alex Sandro and Manolas all within my 50 K range which was a blast and I also still have 25k as of today.
Muller is such a bargain at CF (4-4-1-1) alex Sandro, Thiago are such a beautiful pair. Candreva – my god, I know both of us (you and I) like Cuadrado a lot but this FUT, Candreva is such a great buy! He is amazing!! And also his work rates work better for me than Juan.
My squad below for any thoughts
https://www.futhead.com/16/squads/5179798/
I also have to mention that I replaced Koulibaly with Manolas and I get Tevez as a 1st sub if Dybala isn’t performing. I absolutely love this squad.
Any thoughts?
Hi.
As I already told you: forget packs. Don’t waste your coins with them.
“this is why FUT is such a great game” Totally agree with you.
If you love your squad, my personal opinion is not important. Play and have fun!
Regards
Hi Rodrigo
Are prices lower today or on Monday? And 100k happy hours expected at 9pm today and Monday?
Friday afternoon.
100k packs will be back.
What is the point of black friday for FUT when all the promo packs are the exact same price as they always are? Most of the promo packs (like Premium Gold players pack and rare gold packs) are complete rip offs anyway. This whole lightning round promotion is a complete sham by EA sports to make even more money from fifa points off dumb little kids spending their rich parent’s money. In my opinion.
Our opinion too.
i packed ronaldo in september when he was going for 1.9 mil but i was to stubborn to sell him. now hes going for 900k and i got nervous he was going to keep dropping so i sold him for 950k last night. hes currently going for 1 mil. i just got nervous black friday was going to send him down to 700k so i wanted to make a profit. was that a bad decision on my part?
No, it was not.
will every one get a free pack on black Friday
There is no confirmation about that. In fact, we think no one will get free packs.
can we expect free packs
The odds are really low.
Hello Rodi,
Please I have Griezmann & Lukaku as they are the most expensive players I have and I got them from playing draft lol. Am poor guy and I want to save coins for these big packs. What do you suggest me to do with them or other players if I get them from draft or somehow. What prices I should put them on the market. I play on Xbox One.
Please reply asap with kind regards,
Nate
Hi Nate.
Our biggest tip: DON’T buy packs. Really.
Will the prices go back up after BF? When will be the best time to sell players? I won’t be able to play/trade much right now since i am busy till Dec. 5. So When in Dec or Jan are the prices expected to go up/down?
Hi.
Most of the prices will go up after BF but not to the old ones.
I recommend to sell your cards on the first/second week of December.
are there coming FIFA 16 fut tournements?
Yes. On December, during ’16 Days of FIFA’. As always we will be the first ones to announce it here.
Hey Rodrigo,
Between Black Friday and FUTMAS, which day will have lower prices on players? I’m thinking of building a team, but I am not in any rush.
Friday. Thursday if Friday is not an option to you.
Hello Rodrigo ,
I lost a lot with FUT united . From your experience , there will be a big drop again for Black Friday ? Most players lost 40-50% of their value with FUT untied and they’re not going up so i can hardly imagine how far the prices can fall again . A pre-FUT United player worth 50k is now 25k if not less , so it means he will reach 15k by BF ?
What EA is doing is very bad for the game , so many happy hours and promotions ruins the market . They are making most players accessible to everybody which is not good and demotivating , soon we will all be facing the same teams . I think the price level Pre-United were the best . EA is using this strategy to kill the coin sellers i’m sure and we players are paying the price . I like to deserve my team and not get it after a few hours of casual gaming
We agree with you.
Last year the biggest drop was during Black Friday and not on FUT United. However, this year the 100k packs were released earlier and for that reason the crash on Black Friday will not be as bigger as FUT United. But prices will fall, we think.
Got Tevez for 20,000 just now and put him back on sale for 30000 or 40000. Please let me know if I am thinking right or not? I am thinking of buying him back at BF and James or Hazard or KDB. Don’t think that Hazard price will go down that much but let s see!
Which is the platform ?
Xbox 1 but why does t matter though?
Because it depends of the platforms.
20,000 is a normal price for Tévez. Nothing special. It will be almost impossible to sell him for 30k.
So now I have my core team (didn’t sell them prior to BF) and I also have 30 k prior to BF wth 2200 FIFA points and I need or at least try to get any of KDB, Aguero or Hazard. Is that possible at BF? Will there be many packs with a great probability of landing a top player as mentioned above? Or what?
Please advise
No, it isn’t. The chances of pulling one of those cards in packs are very low. 30k is not enough to buy them either.
