As a lifelong FIFA gamer boasting over 5000 matches played, accumulating coins has been my obsession in Ultimate Team over the past decade. Why? Because more coins enables crafting higher rated squads brimming with legendary Icons and META superstars to utterly dominate opponents.
This passion has driven me to master every trick and strategy for efficiently building a fortune in FUT. Through extensive trial-and-error combined with analyzing market trends, I‘ve developed proven coin making methods that have funded TOTY Mbappés and Prime Peles.
In this extensive guide, you‘ll discover everything I‘ve learned across my FIFA journey about accumulating millions of coins from game modes to transfer market sorcery. Let‘s begin the path to your fortune!
Coin Building Basics – What You Need To Know
Before diving into coin earning techniques, let‘s review foundational knowledge:
What Are FIFA Coins?
- Coins are the FUT in-game currency used to buy items in the transfer market or store
Why Are Coins Important?
- Coins allow buying top superstar players, which directly translates to more matches and trophies won
How Many Coins Are Needed For Prime Icons?
| Icon Overall Rating | Average Market Value |
|---|---|
| 89 – 90 | 400k – 800k |
| 91 – 92 | 1 million – 2 million |
| 93+ | 3 million+ |
When Do Special Promo Events Crash Market Prices?
- Black Friday (November)
- Team of the Year (January)
- FUT Birthday (March)
- TOTS/FUTTIES (July/August)
Now you understand the immense value of accumulating coins for financing legendary squads. Let‘s get into the methods!
Match Earnings – Up To 200k Per Week
Playing matches serves as the risk-free foundation for earning FUT coins over time. While match rewards start small, they compound through consistent play:
Exact Breakdown of Match Coins Available
| Game Mode | Coins Per Match | Total Coins Available |
|---|---|---|
| Rivals | 500 – 1100 | 100k per week |
| Squad Battles | 400 – 2600 | 50k per week |
| FUT Champions | 1000 – 2500 | 50k over weekend |
| Friendlies | 500 – 1500 | 10k per week |
| Draft | 500 – 15000 | 15k+ for 5 wins |
| Total Coins Available | 200k+ per week |
This tallies up to over 1 million coins guaranteed through gameplay every month without even buying/selling cards on the transfer market!
Now let‘s get into transfer market methods where the highest coin profits reside…
Transfer Market Mastery – Yields Millions
Leveraging the FUT transfer market represents the possibility for monumental returns through bottling lightning card investment opportunities. However, it requires extensive research, planning, and risk-taking.
Based on 7 years flipping cards, here are the best practices I‘ve learned:
Invest in OTW & Headliners During First Promo Weeks
The first 1-2 weeks after Ones To Watch and Headliners drops presents a prime investment window.
- Strategy: Buy 4-5 copies of particular OTW/Headliner cards almost certain to receive winter upgrades priced near quick sell value. Target at discard price.
- ROI: Typical OTW investments multiply 5-8X over 4 months.
- Example Return: OTW Rudiger bought on release day for 11k, sold for 90k in January after upgrade = 720% profit.
Buy Meta Gold Cards During Market Crashes
When anticipated lightning rounds or promotion preview packs hit, the market floods, crashing prices.
- Strategy: Buy 10+ copies of META gold rare cards like Mbappe, Neymar etc priced 30% below norm
- ROI: Prices rebound 30%+ a week later. Easy low risk repeats all year.
- Example Return: RTTK Foden bought for 140k, sold for 190k two weeks later.
Craft & Flip Icon SBC Solutions
When new Icon Squad Building Challenges launch requiring high rated squads:
- Strategy: Craft full solutions using fodder during crash, relist for profit quickly.
- ROI: Popular Prime Icons have solutions multiply 3-5X during initial hype
- Example Return: Prime Zanetti solutions worth 150k crafted for 50k, resold for 250k next day.
The examples demonstrate the immense upside of market mastery. Now for SBC exploitation…
Squad Building Challenges – Big Brain Time
SBCs offer special player/pack rewards for submitting squads meeting criteria. For FIFA veterans, they provide repeatable opportunities through understanding market trends:
Craft Icon Solutions For Profits
As highlighted earlier, newly released Prime Icons see their Set 1, Set 2 etc. SBC solutions rapidly appreciate in value.
- Strategy: Identify cost efficient solutions during crashes using 85-92 fodder bought at discount. Craft them, then mass list for at least triple your expenses.
- Risks: You may need to hold 1-3 days for prime buying opportunity
For the Zanetti SBC, I crafted 10 complete solutions for 50k each and sold within hours for 250k. That‘s 4 million profit in a day!
Invest In Predictable MARQUEE SBC Fodder
For major events like Team of the Year requiring 89+ squads, target META gold cards certain to feature:
| Examples of TOTY Fodder | New Price During SBCs |
|---|---|
| Gold Neymar | 250k+ |
| TOTW Lewandowski | 600k+ |
| Headliners Barella | 150k+ |
The week before big promos, buy these cards when the lightning rounds crash market, then cash out during the SBC mania!
Grind League Players For Big Club SBC Paydays
EA periodically releases valuable Club league SBCs requiring full squads from that league.
When Premier League, Ligue 1, La Liga, Bundesliga, or Serie A offerings emerge, grind BNPL packs to pack rare silvers/bronzes from those leagues. As the cheapest listed, you can sell them for outrageous prices!
I packed Nottingham Forrest silver Johnson from grinding Bronze packs the week Championship SBC dropped. With few listed, I sold him for 100k!
Flip Top Tradable SBC Rewards Immediately
When completing valuable SBCs giving tradable packs like 85+ player picks, look to flip any huge draw directly on the market during initial hype:
Examples:
- TOTY Honourable Mentions David SBC reward listed instantly for 1.2 million
- FS Kulusevski reward sold quickly for 400k
Capitalizing on early demand for new SBC special cards offers fast profits!
The SBC ecosystem offers constant inflation/deflation of cards tied to EA‘s content calendar. By planning investment strategies around upcoming promos, you can achieve mouth-watering returns over short periods.
Now let‘s investigate maximizing coin profits from FIFA 23‘s diverse game modes…
Game Mode Coins – Creative Methods
While playing the FUT market presents the best coin generating possibility, certain game modes do offer lucrative unique opportunities:
Draft Mode Can Yield 200k Per Day
While the 15k Draft entry fee seems risky, stringing together multiple wins in the 4 round format can yield colossal earnings of up to 200k daily:
Requirements
- Draft high chemistry META squads by memorizing top player links
- Average 4-5 wins per attempt
- Play all daily attempts using 2000 FP (Fifa Points)
Potential Earnings
| Wins | Match Coins | Pack Rewards | Total Coins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | ~50k | 100k – 300k | 150k – 350k |
With just average luck from the valuable rewards packs, Draft grinding can reliably build millions of coins per month.
Work Transfer Market During Squad Battle Rewards
Squad Battles offers extremely lucrative Elite 1 rewards if you can grind enough points against the AI:
Elite 1 Rewards
- 80k match coins
- 2x Jumbo Rare Players Packs (100k value)
- 1x Premium Players Pack (35k value)
- 1x Prime Electrum Players Pack (45k value)
The 220k value doesn‘t include packing a special card worth 200k+!
Strategy
List valuable special cards for maximum value during peak demand when people open their SB rewards!
I packed TOTW Neymar from SB rewards and listed for 1.7 million within minutes of rewards launching!
Target Marquee Matchups Investments
EA selects 4 notable real world games to release Marquee Matchup SBCs requiring teams playing that week:
Strategy
- Buy 20-30 gold cards from key matchup teams days before for 750 coins
- Sell them for over 5k when SBCs launch and supply vanishes!
Easy repeatable method for 20k-100k profit each week.
As you can see, outmaneuvering the market while grinding games modes can rapidly enable millions in purchasing power.
Now for some final critical tips:
Quick Hitting Tips & Tricks
While the larger strategies discussed account for the majority of coins earned, small recurring tactics do collectively contribute significant sums:
Always Resell Training Consumables
When you pack squad fitness, chemistry styles etc, always relist them. They sell almost instantly for 200-300 profit each:
Consumables Resale Value
| Item | Guaranteed Profit |
|---|---|
| Squad Fitness | 200 coins |
| Hunter Chem Style | 300 coins |
| Shadow Chem Style | 500 coins |
Across thousands of games, these profits add up!
Buy Discounted FIFA Points Before Promos
When the Black Friday lightning rounds hit, EA and sellers temporarily discount FIFA Point bundles. 12,000 FP for £50 rather than £80.
Load up on these so you can rip preview packs for major promos to get TOTY cards early! Use profits to fund your team.
Grind & Flip Silver Lounge Cards
EA‘s Silver Lounge friendly mode requires full silver squads. This mode‘s SBCs spike demand for silvers:
- Buy 50 silver meta cards for 150 coins before the mode launches
- Instantly mass list for 3000-4000 during hype and sell within the hour!
Easy 20X multiplication of investments.
Exploit Early Preview Pack Access
For major events like FUT Birthday or TOTY, targeted preview packs release a day early for select regions like New Zealand:
- Utilize early access by creating alternate XBOX/PSN accounts based in NZ
- Rip preview packs during small window of exclusivity
- List major draw cards you pack on primary account before wider market crash
This method has made me millions during the TOTY promo earliest exclusive hours!
I hope these easily repeatable tips complement the advanced strategies to optimize earnings.
Now go make millions! The tools are in your hands.
Concluding Thoughts
If this FIFA guide has demonstrated anything, it‘s that accumulating supreme FUT wealth demoting the grind and elevating the craft. The expertise. The analytical wrinkles.
While playing matches and grinding SBC fodder does offer a stable coin base, actively working the transfer market is how you eventually afford Prime Icons like Cruyff, Gullit and R9.
That‘s the true coin flex. When your starting squad glows with the ingame elites that smash Weekend League opponents and intimidate based on the 11 legends staring back during pre-match zoom-ins.
As a lifelong FIFA gamer who has peaked at 15 million transfer profit in a single edition, my only goal nowadays is funding that dream team of heroes. I play for the thrilling market races. For investment adrenaline when seeing your OTW cards spike 500k once winter upgrades hit. For the elite trophy card icons attained through movements behind the scenes.
So now go unleash your ultimate team vision. The path to riches lies ahead. With the knowledge here combined with your cunning, nothing is impossible.
Maybe I‘ll see your 1990 Prime Icon Stoichkov demolish my defense someday. You‘ve got this!
