What is the FIFA 19 Black Friday Promotion?

FIFA Black Friday, which takes place in November on the day following Thanksgiving in the United States, is the day regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. In this day, the prices are lower making it the one with more sales in the year. As usual, Electronic Arts do not miss this chance to boost their sales and releases a variety of offers.

During FIFA 19 Black Friday promotion, EA usually releases something new every hour. These offers include multiple promo packs, lightning rounds in the FUT store and flash squad building challenges.

Black Friday is a big deal for the FUT community since it is the first big promotion of the season and it takes place just before other important events like FUTMAS and TOTY.

The Market

What happens to the cards’ prices during Black Friday?

The expected huge market crash waited by the community for the Black Friday, starts much earlier. As Black Friday approach, the trend is prices begin to gradually fall. After the Cyber Monday, prices will go up again but not to the levels they were a few weeks before. If you really want to maximise your coins, you should sell your teams after the Black Friday and buy them back during the TOTY.

Different to what many people think, the Black Friday isn’t known by having a huge Market Crash. The biggest devaluation occurs before it even starts. In the thirty days before the Black Friday start, the market drops around 20%. It reaches the critical minimum on this day or in the previous Sunday. From there, prices start rising again. It’s a slow and slight recovery but the truth is that this tendency only inverts itself when the TOTY is released.

This behaviour we’ve described is also followed by the IF cards, in a weaker rhythm of course. The best day to buy them is also the Thursday before Black Friday, when they’ve accumulated a devaluation of almost 20%, so that then they can slightly recover on the next days.
