Q: How much increases the rating and the attributes of a player on a TOTY card ?

Q: How many cards are on a TOTY ?
A: 11. One goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards. It is only made a distinction between the four lines, not between each position. For example, instead of having full backs, this team can have four centre backs.

Q: How can you get one of these cards ?
A: As usually, you can buy them on transfer market or you can get them on a pack. These cards are only available on packs by specific periods.

Q: If I own a NIF card of a TOTY player, will I get an upgrade ?
A: If you own the regular card of a TOTY player, your card will keep unchanged. If you want the improved version, you will need to buy the corresponding TOTY version in the market or pull it from a pack.

Q: When the first TOTY cards are released ?
A: Just after the FIFA World XI is made official, at 8pm (UK time).

Q: When these cards are released in packs ?
A: For each position there are specific dates :
Goalkeepers and Defenders – January 12th 8pm to January 14th 6pm;
Midfielders – January 14th 6pm to January 16th 6pm;
Forwards – January 16th 6pm to January 17th 6pm.

Q: The TOTY cards will not be released all together in packs ?
A: Yes, between January 17th 6pm and January 19th 6pm.

Q: The TOTY cards are expensive ?
A: Yes. A lot. Several cards cost more than 1 million coins. They are the most expensive cards of the game.

Q: There will be happy hours and special packs as the popular 100k pack during the TOTY release ?
A: Yes. 100k packs should be released in January 18th or eventually January 17th.

Q: What happens to the market with the TOTY release ?
A: Such as the Happy Hours, TOTY release is responsible for thousands of pack openings. It also means severe price falls. The biggest difference is that everything happens at an absolute immense scale: these cards are the best in the game, they come in packs for one week and prices fall to never before seen values.
The effect caused by the Team of the Year is felt way before it’s even announced. The game barely starts and there are already some players planning on building their squads in January, at a point when buying the best players will cost them the same as how much they’d spend building an average team in the beginning. Many others decide to monetize their teams, selling them all before the TOTY comes out and then buying it all again. The start of a more severe devaluation happens before Christmas and is prolonged until the TOTY release.

The cards’ prices on the market follow, generally, the tendency illustrated on the following image. We can divide this price behaviour by the following stages:

Stage 1 – Before the TOTY release
Prices start to fall more severely as from the third week of December.
Stage 2 – TOTY release day (12th of January 2015, Monday)
Cards get cheaper.
Stage 3 – Second day of TOTY (13th of January 2015, Tuesday)
Prices slightly rise because the market is saturated with defenders.
Stage 4 – Third and fourth days of TOTY (14th and 15th of January 2015, Wednesday and Thursday)
Prices rise even more because there are only 3 TOTY players available in packs instead of 5 and because everyone is waiting for the most valuable cards to come out: the attackers.
Stage 5 – Fifth and sixth days of TOTY (16th and 17th of January 2015, Friday and Saturday)
Prices fall with the release of the most wanted cards: the attackers.
Stage 6 – Seventh day of TOTY (17th to 19th of January 2015, 48 hours)
Cards get even cheaper since now all TOTY cards are available in packs.
Stage 7 – The week after TOTY
Prices go back to rising progressively until the end of the next week. They don’t hit values as high as the ones on stage 1 but aren’t as low as any of the other stages.

Q: When should I sell my players ?
A: We think that the best thing to do is to sell them before the new year but not during Happy Hours.

  1. Hi Rodrigo
    I was wondering if there is going to be more 100 k packs for the whole team of the year. I bought Fifa points and I was not sure to spend them on 35k packs and 25k packs or wait for 50k packs or 100k packs

  2. If i have a Toty player should I sell him now or after Toty week? Do he transform to a normal card if I don’t sell? Plz tell me

  3. I’m looking to buy Manuel Neuer, but I am unsure when to do so. Seeing that his regular card is no longer be in packs. Will his regular continue to increase in price or is it likely that we could see it fall down. I am really confused about what I should do therefore your opinions are greatly appreciated.

    thanks

  18. I just packed Neuer toty, will his price raise when the toty week is finished. Or will he just be arround the 1 million coins?

  19. Jackson Ellis

    Hi i just packed a TOTY robben should i sell him now? or wait until after TOTY?

  20. i just packed toty kroos when shall i sell him as he is 1.3 million now what will his price be after the packs have finished

  21. Rodrigo, please answer

    Ok, so today i was just going anout my business and opening one pack, when i pulled toty neuer. Now, if i get to keep that toty card into fifa 16 i would gladly keep him forever, but if i cant, when should i sell him? Im not really sure what to do with him, because im not sure how the transferring to fifa 16 works. Could you please explain which cards get transferred and which dont and how they get transferred? Thanks man 🙂

  22. ok so i’m confused because 100 k packs have been released and yet some how prices of players are more expensive now then they were and hour ago and they haven’t droped any lower then what they were 2 days ago or then what they were the day before toty was released. so is this something you didn’t expect either or are they prices still expected to drop in an hour or so?. as for a market crash i’m not seeing one taking place at this moment.

  23. Are prices cheaper tomorrow than today?how many packs is tomorrow avaible?what is the best time tomorrow buy players?9pm?

      1. really hoping the player prices drop a fair bit more over the next few hours aye. they seam to be a little higher today then what they were 2 days ago this is on ps3 though could be different on other platforms. fingers crossed that the 11pm lightning round is 11pm today uk time and not 6pm today uk time otherwise i’m gunna miss the 100 k pack release and the price drop that go’s with it cos i’ll be at work. thats kinda the suck part of living in new zealand cos 6pm uk time is 7 am new zealand time lol do u think the prices will stay low for very long once the 100 k packs are realised?

        1. sorry what i meant to say is i really hope that the 11pm lightning round today is where they might realise either 50 k packs or 100 k packs because if they realise 100 k packs at 6pm uk time today i’ll miss the market crash 🙁

  24. I got a regular david luiz in a pack today. Is there any chance i can get it upgraded to a toty player? I bought the pack on the web app

  25. But is it confirmed? I have heard that they will be out today 7pm(uk)what do you think about prices of players like costa, rooney and sanchez,how much their prices will drop on market crash?what about players whos price is under 10k

  26. Any news about 100k packs?if they come today 6pm,how many hours after that prices will be the lowest? Thanks if u answer

  27. During TOTY, the seventh day, will all toty players be in packs? If yes, will the market crashes even more? And will the prices return to original value two weeks after toty? For example costa was 50-60k, now he is 23k, will go back to 50-60k???

  28. I,ve read that investing in under 10k players is the best choice. What about trying to invest in cards such as IF aubameyang or current IF alexis, their price might jump even higher than those under 10k? Or still these last will make higher profits?

  29. Hey rodrigo id really appreciate if you could answer me this If toty dimaria is about 4mil now what will be lowest in your opinion he will drop to and when? Also what would be the time the 100 k packs could possibly come out US time? Please and thank you

    1. Hi.
      I have no idea about Di MAria price. I think it will drop and probably he will be cheaper during 100k packs, but don’t know how much.
      100k packs may be released this Sunday.

  30. if Lacazette upgraded and he gets transferred what happens to his Inform 81 Lyon Card?

  31. Rodrigo, i am about to open some packs! What will be the best time for me to do so? When all the players are out in packs together?

  32. Do you its clever to invest now midfielders(because now released toty midfielders) and sell them tomorrow?

  33. I have right now 110k coins.when i buy squad?you said that its risky to wait 100k packs. What should i do?buy squad when attackers released or take risk and wait 100k packs.what you will do if you are in my position?what is the probality about will they released these packs?btw thanks for help.

  34. If planning on selling in the future is it more profitable to buy guys like NIF Ibrahimovic, NIF Robben, and 2IF Tevez or a TOTY, like which will have a bigger jump in price a few days/weeks after TOTY have been released? Thanks for the help!

  35. Hey, just wondering when it would be best to sell a TOTY such as neur? In a few weeks or right away?

  36. On January 18th, what exact time do 100k packs come out and are they first come first serve?

  37. When must I buy the TOTY players like Luiz and Silva? Are those prices also going to drop or will they rise in this week? I’m going to buy it within this week, but when?
    Thanks!

  38. Hi Rodrigo. I just got David Luiz TOTY in a pack, should I sell him right now or wait untill the TOTY is over, since the prices normally rise after they are out of packs?
    And one more question, those 100k packs, are like the lightning rounds or they just give us limited number of packs for each account?
    Thanks.

  39. Hey Rodrigo, when will the TOTY defenders be the cheapest?
    I am a little bit late with this question, but what does it matter?!
    I’m wondering if the prices of the TOTY players are also going to drop this weekend (if there will be 100k packs).
    And if not, will the prices of the TOTY players also rise after this weekend or will they drop because of the decrease of popularity?
    So, please let me know if the prices of the TOTY players are going to drop this weekend (or later)!
    Thanks, Luca.

  40. Hi
    1. I have bought squad today morning (as you recommend) when is the best time to sell it?maybe tomorrow?2. How low the prices will be on saturday and sunday if the 100k packs will not come out?

  41. Should I buy NIF TOTY defenders and sell them Wednsday? Or it may be a mistake due actual popularity in their cards, raising its prices instead of falling?

  42. Hey Rodrigo,
    I want to buy Ramos Toty…on what day the price would be lowest? Today,tomorrow Ort on 18th?

  43. Sorry for bothering you, i got two quick questions 😛
    Will messi’s price drop or increase when his toty comes out, and when do you believe would be the best time to buy him?

  44. When will the prices of consumables such as fitness cards and healing cards drop? And exactly how cheap will they be when they drop?

  45. Rodrigo I’ve been looking everywhere but can’t figure it out but do you know what day and time 100k packs will be coming out during TOTY (also please say time zone)

    1. There are no official news about that.
      We believe that 100k packs will be released between Sunday 6pm to Monday 6pm. There is also a chance to see these packs being released in Saturday at 6pm (UK time).

  46. Hi. So I bought a TOTY David Luiz about 3 hours ago for 840k. I thought that I would buy him and keep him for a period of time since TOTY prices usually rise a lot a few weeks after TOTY is over. But now 3 hours later his price has already dropped to about 760k and I dint know if I just keep waiting or sell him because he could just keep getting cheaper.
    Thanks.

  47. Will the prices of a player that gets a toty rise or fall. For example messi goes for 3.5 mill on ps4 will his price rise or fall since he is getting a toty card?

  48. Hi, I have Neuer. Would it be a good idea to try and sell him and rebuy him later? I would still like him on my team. Will his price drop enough for me to make a profit?

  49. I am thinking about investing in consumables (contracts and squad fitness) as their prices are low for the moment. Do you think they will raise again before friday? If so, do you think it’s a good idea to sell them thursday, so I can invest more friday/saturday?

      1. Thank you!
        Do you think their prices will raise again in a week or two?
        I already bought a 600 gold rare contracts last night, all for 150. If I could sell them for 300/350, I would make around 100k profit, but when do you expect them to hit 300 or 350?

  50. hi rodrigo
    why has players prices gone up? like robbens he was 585k yesterday, today his 650k? when will it be his lowest price?

    1. It’s because he is a TOTY. Now he is more popular and the TOTY card will replace the NIF card into packs.
      That’s why we always say to invest in cheapest players because it is easier to make profit with them.

  51. hi rodrigo,
    i wanted your advice on a team i am going to make. i have 1.5 million coins and i want to make a team with aguero, hazard etc. should i buy the team now or wait till the attackers are released or buy it on sunday when 100k packs probably will come out.

  52. Hi there, the TOTY defenders just came out, and I was expecting a huge price drop, but the prices of players have gone up a lot. What should i do?

  53. Brian Williams

    Is it better to hang onto TOTY guys packed and sell them later, or sell them now?

  54. i have got about 4mil can i be confident that all the positions will be released on saturday or sunday please tell me

  55. According to EA’s twitter they have announced the toty which includes Di Maria. I was planning on buying his normal gold card on the last phase as you suggest but I was wondering if his gold card might not drop (perhaps increase) due to the fact the supply of his gold cards will be slowed. I was thinking perhaps the day the attackers are released. What do you think?

  56. Hi Rodrigo. I just sold Ronaldo (4.6mil) and Messi (3.5mil) today which I owned, for more than I bought them for a few weeks ago. Was this a mistake? I’m planning on re-buying when the price goes down. I don’t think prices have gone down massively yet have they?

  57. Hi Rodrigo,
    I just read a lot of comments to see if my questions was between them but as far as I could see it wasn’t (huge respect to you aswell for answering to almost evert one of them 😉 ).
    My question: Do you think its a good idea to buy players tonight /tommorow morning to sell them again the 15th/16th. And then again buy players the 18th to sell them again a few days later. At the moment I have 160k and I want to trade during TOTY to make some coins.

  58. Would you expect if there are 100k packs on sunday, that they will be for a set period of time, or a lightening round?

    (Just working out when exactly to buy in all my big players)

    iI found players to be cheaper in the New Year 100k lightening round that last minutes, than the day after where there was a whole day of 100k packs.

  59. Prateek Chellani

    Hey great guide Rodrigo. Just one question though. When exactly are the players assigned in the packs. For example, I won a gold pack from a tourney today(12 Jan, 9am UK time). I still havent opened it. My question is that if i open lets say on 13th UK time, is it possible for me to get a toty player in the pack?
    Thanks
    -Prateek

  60. I know it would be strictly a prediction but how much do you believe the TOTY defenders and midfielders will cost? Thanks

  61. Hello i have some questions:
    i want to build a squad 2 days before toty the squad is 450k how much will it be on sunday when every toty player is released? 375k or less?
    and is sunday the best day to buy packs? when is the most change to get a toty?

    1. As you can imagine, it is impossible to answer to your question. It depends of many factors, like the players you want to buy.
      If they release all players at once in Sunday, that day will be the best one to buy packs.

  62. Okay thanks for your good advices. I have only chances to build squad 9pm uk time in the evening or 5 am early morning,which one you recommend?which case of these prices will be the lowest ones?

  63. Hello Rodriguo
    I have 5 mil coins in the bank and how many midfielders do u think i could pull and what about the attackers. this is if i spent 5 mil coins for 1 of the two positions not both at the same time

  64. Loik Steininger

    I have 5 mil in the bank and i was wondering what the chances were for me to pack a toty attacker or a toty midfielder?

  65. I’m looking for a guide explaining the prices fluctuations depending on day of the week and time we buy our cards. Can anyone post a link to such a guide?

    Will it work during TOTY?

  66. 1.When we get a confirmation about that hole team realesed on sunday? 2.What is the best uk time to buy players on monday evening or are the prices as cheep in tuesday morning.3.one of these answers here you suggested to buy squad on monday sell it on wenensday and buy it again on sunday,does it works?does it make a profit?

    1. 1. Only Sunday.
      2. The prices should be lower at late night in Monday than in Tuesday morning.
      3. I made a huge profit in previous years, with that technique. Of course, I’m not responsible if it doesn’t work for you.
      Regards

  67. Hi sir rodrigo.. In jan 18 what is the best time to buy 100k pack in uk time???
    Is it 4pm uk or 6pm uk like here in manila i got ronaldo in lightning rounds aroun pass 4pm in uk time…. I alsom got sergio ramos and iniesta in around 3am here in manila and 7pm in uk time…
    Thanks in advance

  68. Hi Rodrigo, first of all thanks for the great info. I’ve had a nosey through the comments and cant see this question from anyone. From previous fifas do you know how many and how often the 100k packs are usually released? I know its not recommended but this year i think i am going to spend 1M on packs and didnt want to wait until the 18th to find out that i can only buy 2 packs and miss the earlier days thats all. Wasn’t sure if it was like 2 packs 12, and 17th, and then 5 packs 18th? Any help much appreciated!
    Cheers
    Si

    1. Hi.
      Thank you for your words.
      We don’t know how it will be this year but in previous years, the 100k packs were released in the last day of the TOTY week. We think it will happen again probably with a limit of 2 packs per player.

  69. Thanks for all of the helpful articles , do you think I should sell SIF Lacazette , I got him for 140k and he’s selling for 180k now, and hope he goes even cheaper during the market crash ? Thanks !

  70. Can I buy TOTY players straight from the transfer market or do i need to buy them from packs

  71. When Is Exactly The best time to buy Players Because i’ve seen a lot of People Saying That Buying on Monday 12th Is The best time , Please answer my Question And thanks!

    1. We don’t have a crystal ball.
      Prices will be lower 12th at night, 17th and 18th. If they release all players at once and 100k packs in 18th, the prices may be lower in that day.

      1. Will Prices be Much Lower than 12th If that happens Or It isn’t Worth Waiting for.. thank You so Much BTW DON’T FORGET TO USE YOUR CRYSTAL BALL 😉

        1. Personally, I think they will release 100k packs in Sunday with all TOTY players, and prices will be lower in that day. However, I don’t have any confirmation about this.

          1. ian ... should i sell if 87 tevez and buy Blue Messi before toty comes out? xbox one??

            Sooo… How much should one pay projected for blue 95 messi, have seen him as low as 4.9… Do u think he will go lower??Xbox one

  72. I just sold Xavi and James Rodriguez to try and get them cheaper, when should I try to buy them again.

    Also, what day do you recommend buying packs.

    Js, I live in Brisbane, Australia

  73. When is right time to buy squad during team of the year? I mean when the prices will be the lowest ones.

  74. Ok, you are the expert, if you could only buy one striker price dont matter who would you buy??

  75. Aidan Scanlon

    I have a nif Ibrahimovic, its probably past the best time to sell him but what should i do?

  76. Hi Rodrigo, just wondering if there will be a time when you have a chance of getting any toty player instead of just defenders or attackers? Thanks

  77. when is a good time to buy players NIF (yaya toure, di maria, aguero, rooney) to make a BPL team…

    monday 12th or sunday 18th?

  78. Hi Rodrigo
    I have Lewandowski and it costed me 84,000. Should I sell it cheaper than it costed me to get the profit when the toty come out? About 79,000 for example.

  79. Hi Rodrigo 🙂
    Are you sure the normal players (NIF) of the TOTY won’t be available in the packs after TOTY anymore?

  80. I already have messi mordic Ramos Lahm humells Ribera hazard all I was thinking from last year to get team of the year in fifa 15. Is it confirmed that whole team would be available in a 100k pack I am having 700 k right now .

  81. I´ve read related comments of NIF cards that may feature during TOTY. I assume that NIF prices will be irregular, so, for example, the NIF Di Maria, Rodriguez or Ramos prices may fall during the market crash (a chance to invest on those), or right now may be a good moment to invest and earn profits days after the 18th?

    What do you think?

  82. do i sell my if 87 tevez, should i buy blue messi before toty comes out… xbox one??

  83. Hey are fifa team of the year packs only released for a specific amount of time, like if i am not on at the right time i won’t be able to open a pack??? Or will I be able to open a specific amount at any time like they stay in my promo packs until i buy them??? Or possibly will there be a release with infinite amount of packs so the richest people can buy many of them???

  84. I wanted to know what day is the best to buy back players such as Ronaldo, Bale, Messi, etc. I have 11 million coins on xbox and i wanted to make as much profit as i can during TOTY. Can u please help? A lot of people say to buy them the first day and others say the last day. I don’t know what to do.

      1. The only thing is, the steady decline predicted over the past couple of weeks has not happened this year! I sold Messi/Tevez SIF/Robben/Benzema IF/Matuidi IF/Aubamayang IF and hey have ALL increased on PSN..all gone up between 5 and 10% in the last week.

        So I’m worried that the usual trend isn’t happening, and the top rated players will not crash as in previous years? What do you think?? Should I stop worrying and see what Monday evening brings ? 😉

  85. Hello Rodrigo.
    I am pretty new to FUT, I started playing on 25th December so I dont understand any of these FUTmas and TOTY things. I just read some articles there, and I want to ask you few questions.
    1. Should I sell my whole squad today (9th January) and rebuy it when the TOTY will be released ? If yes, what day exactly should I buy them again? I will write down my squads(got 2 – BPL and Bundesliga) to let you know which players i am talking about.

    ———Sturridge——Costa
    —–———–Rooney–
    ——–Oscar–Ramires–Ozil
    F. Luiz– Kompany – Mangala – Walker
    ——————––Lloris–

    Reus——A. Ramos—–Robben
    Schweinstaiger––L. Gustavo–Gotze
    Alaba– Benatia – Boateng – Pisczek
    ——————––Neuer–

    2. When I will have a lot of coins these days, what do you recommend to me – to buy TOTY players from Market or to wait and try luck by opening 100K packs if they will be released. If not, should I try just 7.5k packs.?

    Thank you so much for your answer.

    1. Hi. Welcome.
      1) Yes, you should sell them and buy them back in January 12, 17 or 18.
      2) Don’t buy packs. First you should buy the best regular players possible. Then, go for IFs.
      Regards

    1. Not exactly. They may be more expensive because they will stop to be inserted into packs and because the player is more popular. However, there are many people selling the NIF card to buy the IF card and in that way it becomes cheaper.

  86. Hi I am planning to buy some Legends for my team, eg. Vieri and Zola. When is the best time to buy them, now, during TOTY or after TOTY? thanks

      1. Hi. I have realised that the price of the legends has dropped since I asked my question. Do you think the prices will keep sliding down?

      1. Is this graph applicable for all the players or just TOTY players? I just want to know if I buy a TOTY player during the crash and sell it afterwards, will I earn a bigger profit? Or should I just trade with normal players. What do you suggest?

  87. Hi,
    I’ve just read all the comments and there was no answer for my question. I want to buy regular Pogba, Casillas and James Rodriguez cards. You wrote that regular CR7 card might drop a little during TOTY. What about those three in case they become TOTY as well? When should I buy them? Casillas probably won’t get TOTY, Pogba might, but James is the most probable one.
    Thanks for your help and the great guide!

  88. Hi rodrogo
    what do you thing aguero under 230 k? or di maria under 120k? thanks for help

  89. Um Rodrigo hello

    I have a question if this was a good sell..

    1. I had all the Real Madrid players except for CR7 since he’s worth Millions. Btw I got Bale in the Rare 100kPacks a day after New Years.I have sold all my Real Madrid players and I have 1million 56 coins.. I sold them after they lost to Milan. Was this a good sell?
    2.Btw last Year I got TOTS Di Maria in the 7.5k pack I sold him after Real Madrid won the UCL and I got 5Million was this smart?
    Btw can you email me and I will show you the Pictures (optional ).
    3. Will it better to buy a 100k rare pack on the last day that the TOTY players are released for a better chance of getting a TOTY player?
    I thank you if you answered.

    1. 1 – Usually selling a team after a defeat is a bad decision because their prices are lower.
      2 – Yes.
      3 – If they release 100k packs in that day, then it will be a good decision.

  90. Hey Rodrigo, would you buy players on the first days of toty because nobody can wait for the forwards, or would you buy them when the hole team is released?
    Thank You

  91. hi,
    i have a if rooney and i am wondering should i sell him now and buy him back during toty. will i make profit?

  92. Hey I’m waiting for the market crash to buy a few players, but the most expensive of them all is Robben. Most likely he will make the TOTY and his regular card won’t be in packs, so I’m wondering how this will affect the price of his card? When would be the best time to buy his non in form card?

    1. It is difficult to know. We believe that his price may have a slight drop and in that way Monday and Sunday would be good days to buy him. But as we said it is not easy to predict.

  93. Hey Rodrigo
    Am planing on buying this team, What do you think? Any advice? PS ( I dont have enough money for CR or Messi)

    ————–Suarez——
    —–Neymar – Iniesta – Bale
    ——–Modric – IF Kroos–
    Alba – MOTM Ramos – IF Godin – Alves
    ————–Casillas–

    1. Great team, I have same problem with Messi and CR7 LOL. I would most probably replace Kroos with Rakitic, though, since Kroos is too slow for this game (I hate EA for this). Or replace him with James and interchange James with Iniesta. I would prefer latter.

  94. Just to confirm my understanding: the low of the market should be on the 17th or 18th (when strikers or all players will be in packs).

  95. I have some Very Good players (Sergio Ramos, neymar, Bale, Vidal if, pogba) when i The Best moment To sell Them? Sorry forse My bad English i’m italian

  96. Hi rodrigo

    What is the best time during TOTY to buy a new team (Best of bundesliga except robben and ribery) ?

  97. Hi Rodrigo!
    Alexis Sanchez cost now 57,5 k in PS, so how much you think his price will drop maybe 40k?
    Thanks!

    1. Not necessarily.
      If he gets a TOTY his NIF card will not be available in packs and he will be more popular what will make his card be more expensive. However, people who wants the IF card will try to sell the NIF card which makes him cheaper.

  98. Hi Rodrigo,
    let say that I have coins during TOTY period, what do u suggest: buying pack with chance getting IF players or buying good-yet cheap-palyers on market?
    (In my case, I really want to buy Messi. I (maybe) can get his IF during TOTY but I also can buy him in cheaper price during TOTY)

    Thank you

  99. hi Rodrigo ,how much usualy falls price betwen totys on stage 6? for- 20% ,-30%,-50% ? maybe more ? price of hazard or robben on stage 6 ? do you think that hazarda will bi under 200k ? or roben under 300k ? i m playing on xbox..and in which players is good to invest in ? for those who are under 50k ? or the best players who are worth 300k or more ? thank youuu

  100. hey, a few questions .
    I want to use all the low price on January 18, so I buy a few players . but wants to make a profit on it.
    when can I best selling players?
    a week later ?

    sorry for my bad english
    and thank you for answer

  101. Will all toty players be available in packs after all or released at once at a time for a certain amount then stop and get like forwards

  102. Hi Rodrigo, just wondering whether the whole toty coming out on the 18th is 100 % confirmed because I want to pack on the day where they are all out? Thanks.

  103. Hey Rodrigo, I invested all my coins (478k PSN) on buying Ribery, Di Maria, Modric and Vidal whose prices fell a lot due to the lightening rounds. Their prices are slowly climbing, about a 60-70k profit so far, and I was wondering when’s the best time to sell them. I’m guessing hold all the way till 12th unles they fall by 5-10k, am I right? Hope I don’t hold onto them for too long till the TOTY crash begins of course. Thanks! 

  104. hello rodrigo i was just wondering, you said that all the toty will be available in packs on the 18th. Is that the second it hits 12:00 or will it be midday, THANKS!

  105. I am new to fut and I have a few questions.
    Are toty players still in packs after 18 januari
    How much change do you have to pack a Toty in a 100k pack
    Are there legends on ps3

    Thanks rodrigo

    1. Hi.
      Read our guides and you will learn a lot.
      1) TOTY players are in packs only between January 12 and January 18.
      2) You can find one spending only 100k. Or you can spend millions and never find. Usually, you will have to spend more than a million coins. Opening packs is like a casino: the house always wins.
      3) No, only XBox.
      Regards

  106. I have 5.5m coins right now after i sold my team. I want to build the best possible La Liga team with the5.5m coins. Of course without Ronaldo and Messi. Which 11 players do I need to buy? And when is the best time to buy the players?

  107. Guillem Sans

    Ricardo, do you think that a team that is worth nowadays 700 k will drop to 600 k?

  108. When would be the best time to pick up a TOTy player,
    At the very last stage when all players are out?

    Also what would the defender/ prices roughly go for 1mil plus?(maybe a boateng,lahm,neuer,Ramos,alaba)

    Thanks for ur help super informative sight…best on the net!

  109. should i sell the nif players that will include in the toty before the toty? and when should i buy them back?

  110. Hi Rodrigo,

    How fast will player prices rise after January 19th, 6pm? Will they rise instantly over the following hours, or over the next few days? Nice work on the article by the way.

    Thanks, Oscar

  111. hello rodrigo i was just wondering how many 100k packs will be given out on the 18th also just checking the 100k packs will be released when all of the toty is available in packs

  112. You say 100k packs will be 18th but you also said the toty players are only available until the 17th?

  113. TOTY is meaningless for Mobile FIFA I want to complain loudly about FIFA 15 IOS Please create a topic for mobile FIFA 15 The GAME IS UNPLAYABLE and EA Doesn’t even care There are so many bugs (+100) the one the worst your players though the ball backwards without pressing any button you can visit the topic in FIFA 15 Answer HQ — FIFA 15 IOS passing the ball back without pressing any button— PLEASE create a topic for the FIFA 15 IOS NIGHTMARE WORST FIFA EVER

    EA make fun of us
    Thank you Rodrigo I hope someone listen to us

  114. My team i know is worth about 2m altogether but i have trouble thinking about selling it and get lots of cash and then pack nothing or leave it and just buy coins

  115. hello
    i wanted to ask if players who will be in the TOTY like messi, robben etc regluer card prices will drop? like will messi be cheaper doring TOTY than he is ATM?
    thank

  116. I have a team with players like van persie, falcoa, hazard, neymar and other player that are worth 200-300k and a few like 10k-80k.

    Do i sell them and spend on packs or get them back when they are cheaper even though i packed all these players. I have never understood the TOTY market crash and all that. I just want ideas on what to do

  117. What will happen to the toty players regular cards will they rise or go down for example nuear , robben and ramos will their regular cards rise when they get a toty ???

  118. Hi Rodrigo,
    Great article there & a Happy new year to you!
    Could you help me decide what to do with my cards? I spent all my money yesterday and got hold of 3 Neymar Cards(380k each) and already have a couple of Reus cards(180k each).
    i play on the PC and after i bought them, the prices dropped even further – 320k for Neymar and 130k for Reus.
    When should I sell these cards? I can see a huge dip in the market. I don’t want to miss out on the lowest prices as well(when the TOTY packs arrive)
    What do you suggest? Should I hold them till like the 10th of January and sell them when the prices go up from the current level or is it wiser to sell it now assuming the prices would keep falling?

    TIA!

      1. I can see that Neymar has started to go for 390k again. I think I’m safe then. When do you expect/predict the prices in the market to be at the highest? I was guessing around Wednesday but could be wrong. Everyone will sell their cards next weekend since the TOTY packs will arrive. Just want to make sure when it would be the best time to sell these.
        PS – Thanks for replying! 🙂

  119. Hello Rodrigo,
    Firstly i would just like to say thank you for creating this website, you have helped me understand a lot more about the toty!
    Secondly i was just wondering what timezone this is in (for e.g. you said the toty should be released all together in packs on the 17th at 6pm)

  120. Hi I have IF Messi should I sell him now and wait for the TOTY? I also have 5 other IF. And Ramos should I sell him now or wait or will my informs Ramos and Messi not drop in price?

      1. Hi rodrigo
        I got a TOTY thiago silva from a pack, when is the best time to sell him? Will his price increase in the next few weeks or months?

        1. We don’t know. There are TOTY cards that will be more expensive and others that will be cheaper.
          What we know is that TOTY cards are more expensive in the first hours of life.

  121. Hi rodrigo…
    Happy new year:)

    With regard to NIF ronaldo, when would be the best time to buy during Toty?
    Would it be during the defender release or later?

    Surely with so many people being unable to afford his Toty his prices will go up from when the attackers get released and when the whole team is released.(or would it still go down?)

    Also by how much could I expect the price for nIF cr7 to drop?
    He is about 4.3-4.4 bin on psn now, but will probably go up maybe 4.8 when the lacks are over until Toty…

    I have just under 4mil now don’t know if he will drop lower than 4mil

  122. Rodrigo when will be the best time to buy cards at cheaper values during the toty and will they be cheaper the the price drop due to the 100k pack on the 1st o jan for example if players dropped 30k during the release of the packs jan1st will they now drop even more on top if that 30k during toty??

    1. Between FUTMas and TOTY prices will go up again.
      The first and the last day of TOTY should be the ones with lower prices.
      It is expected to have lower prices during TOTY compare with January 1st.

  123. How high are the chances the the TOTY players are going to be in pack together?

  124. BadassFifaHD

    How much will Ronaldo price drop is it worth it to sell and buy back? Will it cover the 250k 5% ea tax?

      1. Does this mean it will drop another 400k (psn) down to just under 4mil
        Or will it be about what it is now(4.3-4.4 )during Toty

        When would be the best time to buy him come
        Toty? When defenders are out or when whole team is out?
        Wouldn’t that push his price up a little considering so many won’t be able to afford his Toty?

        1. It isn’t easy to know because the question is more complex than most of people think.
          I believe that his price during TOTY may be something like 4.2M (PS) but it is just a guess. What makes this so difficult to predict is the fact that his NIF card will not be released in packs during the last 3 days of TOTY.

          1. Does that mean then that the best time to pick up the attackers/cr7 would be when the defenders are released?
            Based on your article with graphs(which is the most helpful guide ever:)) on the market during TOTy?

            Because after that prices go up and come crashing(when all team and attackers release),

            So for everyone not in TOTy (maybe Suarez,bale) the best time would be when whole team is outin packs?

  125. I’ve got Rooney IF will his IF price fall if he gets a TOTY, if so should I sell him now?

  126. hi abhishek how did u get toure for 50 k he goes for 250k in playstation and 180k in xbox

  127. Hey! First of all, happy new year to you!

    My question is, I just bought 2 Yaya Toure at around 50k each, now his price is slashed by almost 10k and is at 30k, my main motto was to sell him for around 60k and make profit, like I have been doing from months. But, now, since his price is slashed, what should I do now in order to make profit out of him?
    I didn’t know about Happy Hours, I just came across Happy Hours, which reduce prices of players, so I bought Suarez, too, for 450k (unlike Toure, which I bought for his original price 2 days ago), when should I sell those 2 players to make profit?

    1. Thanks for the reply. I had a typo with Suarez, I bought him for 350k. At what price should I sell him and when? His average price lies in between 450-500k.

      What is the easiest and cheaper way to get TOTY players, will I definitely get them from packs, if not then what are the chances? It will be my first year which these new year packs, that’s why I don’t know how do we get them.

  128. What special packs are there usually and how long do they stay out for or is there a limited amount you can get

  129. I want to buy Lewandowski and Reus for my team. I have 400k coins. Should I buy them now or wait? How long should I wait?

  130. Hi,I’m planning to buy two TOTY defenders. When is the best time to buy them? When they are released between 12-14 January or when the whole team is released on 18th January?

  131. Hi I have 2.8 million coins, I want to buy a team with Ruud Van nistelrooy, robben, De Boer.
    Do legends get effected by TOTY? What stage would be the best time to buy Van nistelrooy? At the moment he cost 1.5 million, do you think he could drop to a million? What about robben too?

  132. Kunal Kulkarni

    Hi,
    I have a TOTW Pedro, I can sell him now for 100k. When would be the best time to sell him, right now or in 2015?

  133. Hi Rodrigo,
    Will IF cards drop on price during TOTY or is it just regular cards? Obviously IF’s that are in the TOTW during TOTY will drop as they can be packed but how about IF’s from previous weeks that can’t be packed? Thinking of getting SIF Lacazette but I don’t know whether to wait until TOTY. Any advice?

    1. The IF prices are much more unpredictable than the other ones. The worst IF cards will be cheaper but the best ones will be more expensive. Remember that the players who get an UP in late January will see their IFs get upgraded too.

  134. I got a free pack now but i did not open it. If i open it during TOTY weeks, will i get a TOTY? Or will TOTY players be only in packs bought during the TOTY weeks?

  135. Hi,
    I’m playing fifa 14, will the toty players be available in special packs in fifa 14 too or only fifa15?
    Should i open 2-3million worth of packs or how else should i get the players, prices are craizy on fifa14 market.
    Thanks

  136. HI when do u think I should start buying the toty players on the transfer market? Should I buy when all toty are available in packs?

  137. Hi rodrigo, good and helpful article as always…
    Just a quick question…if they release the 100k packs, will that be a limited quantity per person?
    Like how fut united was with 50k pack limit of 2 per account.

    Will the 1/1/2015 100k packs crash the market more than Futmas?
    And will there be an opportunity to make a small profit during the 12 days between NYD and TOTY?

    I’ve got 3.9 million on ps4, hoping ronaldo drops below that for NYD or ToTY

    1. Just a quick question ? 🙂
      1) Yes, if they release the 100k packs it should be at January 18 and with limited quantities per person.
      2) The 100k packs crash of January 1st will be bigger than the one from yesterday.
      3) There is always room for profit. It depends only from you.
      Good luck

  138. hi
    I will sell my mc team before I go on a trip which starts in jan
    I will also try to buy about 3 100k packs with fipo on futmas and toty. on jan 18 I will buy my about 700k through 900k team (actual prices) team.
    tell me if I should do all this
    should I expect good players from the packs?

      1. I know but i’ll take the chances besides I’ll buy them with fifa points.
        However, what are the probabilities in these three packs of me getting a top 15 player?
        By how much do you think the average 50k+ player will decrease in price?
        Is the rest of what I will do ok?

        1. Hi.
          Yes, you are doing OK.
          It is impossible to say how much they will decrease. It depends of the player. We believe that the average 50k+ players will be 20% cheaper in January 18 compared to now.
          The chances of pulling from packs one of the fifteen best players are extremely low.

  139. I have 600k coins and 12,000 fifa points should I save them for the team of the year or should I buy packs and players now while the packs are coming out every 2 hours on Boxing day?

  140. Hey thanks rodrigo for all the useful articles u have been posting. My question is when is better to buy be4 TOTY?….on the 1st day of 100k packs (dec26) or then second day of the 100k packs (jan 2)? or the prices will be same
    Thanks!!

  141. Hi .

    So if i wanna buy some players that are always searched like james benzema vidal pogba etc, to make later profit, should i buy at stage 1, 2, or stage 6 ?

    Thank you

  142. How can you get enough coins to buy these players? I have been playing fifa for a few years but never have many coins. Realistically I prefer to spend my time actually playing the football side of the game. I could spend hours scamming the transfer system to make more coins but that’s not exactly “in the game”.

  143. hi i have a Benatia IF which i bought for 300k (which was a bad deal though.. ;)). Now the prices are down to average 215k. Should i sell him now or some days later and rebuy in the TOTY week, or doesnt it make a difference for IF’s? Are informs also cheap at TOTY weeks?

          1. When is the best time to sell toty players during team of the season week or after or when is the best time to pick one up

          2. Hi Rodrigo, is it confirmed that all TOTY players will be on packs from the 18th to the 19th???

      1. Is stage 6 definatly Sunday because am waitin for that day to pick all my players up an if so what time Sunday will players be at there cheapest when the full toty is released

        1. Yes, I have bought a couple 100k worth of coins. To find a good website, just search it up on google and try to find the cheapest, but also the more reliable and fast coin sellers. I’ve mostly bought from vipmmobank.com

          1. Is it worth selling players tomorrow because prices will increase and then buy those again on sat and sun because they’ll be cheaper than what they are now?
