FIFA 21 Coins, Coins & FIFA Points: What's the difference?

As in Madden 21 () or NHL 21 (), there are two in-game currencies in FIFA 21:

  • FUT Coins (also FUT Coins) you use to buy players as well as for all other important actions around the FIFA Ultimate Team mode. You earn FUT Coins by completing matches and as rewards for a good rank in Division Rivals, Squad Battles or the Weekend League. You can also earn a lot of coins by completing challenges and team events and especially by trading on the transfer market.

  • FIFA Points can only be bought with real money. With FIFA Points you can get additional card packs (Lootboxes). These contain random players as well as club or consumption objects. If you sell the FUT objects on the transfer market, you can quickly earn FUT coins.

Warning: There are many websites that sell FUT Coins. You have to pay hard Euros to the sellers, so that they buy cards from you at overpriced prices on the FIFA 21 transfer market. Stay away from such offers, because the purchase of co ins is forbidden. If EA catches you out, your FUT account will be banned permanently.

If you really want to spend real money to get an advantage in FUT, buy FIFA Points - with EA Play you get a discount of 10 percent. FIFA Points are especially worthwhile in the first few days and weeks after the release of a new FIFA spin-off. Until then, only a few special maps have been released and you can turn the purchased content into money more easily.

However, you don't have to invest real money if you want to earn coins in FIFA 21. If you are clever in trading, you can quickly and easily collect hundreds of Euros worth of FUT coins. In the following we will tell you how to proceed best.

FIFA 21 FUT Coins earning: Why you have to start early?

Start trading FIFA 21 as soon as possible if you want to become a FUT millionaire. Because at the release of the FIFA 21 Web App not all players have access to the transfer market yet. Therefore the demand for the most popular players increases more than the supply - and so does the price.

You will make the biggest profit if you buy popular players on the first day of the FIFA 21 Web App or Early Access phase (from September 30, 2020) and sell them again shortly before the release of the FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition on October 6, 2020. Especially suitable for this are fast players from top leagues. Take a look at Marcel Sabitzer (RB Leipzig), Leroy Sané (FC Bayern München) or Anthony Martial (Manchester United).

Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona), Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus Turin), Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain) or similar top players in FIFA 21 are the exception. Their market value usually increases up to the first Weekend League and beyond. So go ahead and put them in your first Fut Squad to dismantle the competition and sell them at a high profit to the first Weekend League.

For more interesting candidates, check out FUTBIN's Players Game Performance (PGP). The community quickly notices which cards are overpowered in the current FIFA and match this year's meta. As a result, players with particularly high stakes are in greater demand in FUT 21, so their price usually rises or, in the worst case, remains stable.

Another reason why you need to start trading early is your budget. The sooner you earn your first FUT coins, the sooner you can reinvest them. On the one hand you can expect higher absolute profits, on the other hand some trading strategies require a higher budget.

FIFA 21 Trading-Guide: All trading strategies at a glance

In FIFA 21 there are different trading strategies with which you can earn a lot of FUT-Coins and coins. Some of them are more complex and risky than others. In addition, some methods require a financial cushion and basic knowledge. In the following we will present you all trading strategies in FIFA 21 and tell you how they work.

Decide for yourself what is the best trading method for you:

Overpriced selling

FUT-Trading Overpriced SellingExplanation
Knowledge:LowNo knowledge required
Effort:MediumAt the beginning approx. 1-2 hours, later approx. 1 minute per hour
Budget:LowPossible with any budget
Risk:MediumIf purchase prices fall
Duration:MediumUnpredictable
ProfitMediumUnpredictable

How does the Overpriced Selling in FIFA 21 work?

The Overpriced Selling (OTS) in FIFA 21 works as follows: You buy players at their market value and then sell them slightly more expensive ( 10 to 30 percent). The overpriced selling works because not every buyer is always looking for the cheapest price. If your card appears in the search, a particularly lazy prospective buyer may strike.

The higher you set the price, the longer it will take to find a buyer. Keep in mind that many small wins are more efficient than a few big ones. Furthermore, set the auction duration to one hour and re-offer unsold players every hour. The important thing is the mass: The more players you offer for sale, the higher the chance that you will sell one or more players.

The best way to sell overpriced cards is to use them in the game or for SBCs. Just search for "ÜV lists" or look at the most popular players on FUTBIN if you're looking for inspiration. Overpriced selling works with any budget and at any stage of the game. If you bring iron patience and always stay on the ball, you will earn countless FIFA 21 Coins by ÜV!

Sniping & Flipping

FIFA 21 Trading Sniping & FlippingExplanation
Knowledge:LowUnderstanding graphs or trends
Effort:MediumYou only earn coins when you actively trade
Budget:LowPossible with any budget
Risk:LowAlmost no risk
Duration:LowYou usually take the profits immediately
Profit:HighProvided you are fast

How does sniping and flipping work in FIFA 21?

Sniping and flipping is one of the best trading methods in FIFA 21 when you want toearn FUT coins quickly. Sniping refers to the targeted purchase of FUT objects below their market value. Flipping means that you immediately put the cheaply purchased players or consumable objects back on the market at a higher price.

To do this, you go to the transfer market and set the search settings - the so-called sniping filter. Especially suitable for sniping are players who have a lot of stakes and are therefore often traded. Alternatively, popular consumables such as Shadow or Hunter are suitable. First, set the maximum buy-it-now price below the market value so that no object appears in the search.

Then refresh the search until a result appears in the search and you strike at lightning speed. Adjust two search criteria each time you search, or you won't see any new results. This works best if you set the minimum bid price to 150 and the minimum buy-it-now price to 200 to increase the values with each new search.

Once you've bought the object of your desire, put it back on the transfer market at the market price to pick up some quick FUT coins and repeat the process. The best results with sniping and flipping are achieved via the FIFA 21 Web App, as you can use the Enter key to confirm the purchase. However, you can also grab some bargains on the console if you have internalized the key combination.

Icon Trading

Knowledge:LowUnderstanding graphs or trends
Effort:HighYou often have to search for a long time
Budget:HighIcons cost a lot of FUT-Coins
Risk:HighHigh losses are possible when prices are high
Duration:Medium1-5 days
Profit:Very high

How does icon trading work in FIFA 21?

Icon trading is a high-budget trading strategy in FIFA 21, with which you can earn - but also lose - a lot of FUT-Coins. You buy icons at low prices to sell them a little later at higher prices. Since the icons are very expensive, a few good trades are enough to make big profits. Ideally, you should combine icon trading with sniping and flipping.

In order to be profitable with icon trading, you have to take into account the 5 percent fee that EA Sports charges for each sale. This means that if you sell an icon for 500,000 FUT coins, you will lose five percent (25,000 coins) to EA. Consequently, you must have bought the player for less than 475,000 coins to make a profit.

You will only succeed in this if you understand the market trends in FIFA 21. Usually, the purchase prices for icons are the lowest between Sunday and Tuesday. This is because many players sell their Weekend League teams and thanks to the Squad Battles rewards that open on Sunday evenings or Monday mornings, additional cards flood the market.

The best selling prices are between Thursday and Saturday. By Thursday afternoon, most players have sold their Division Rivals and FUT Champions rewards and are looking to invest the FUT coins they've earned into icons for Weekend League teams. The high demand ensures rising prices until Saturday noon, when the first players have completed their 30 Weekend League matches.

In addition, there are usually few icons on the market at night. Offer your icons 20-30 percent above the lowest buy-it-now price when you go to bed. You'll be surprised how often the player is sold the next morning. If you want to earn a lot of FUT coins in the long run with icon trading, you really need to study the price history of icons on Futbin and get a feel for the price trend yourself.

SBC Trading with Futbin

FIFA 21 Trading SBC TradingExplanation
Knowledge:ResourcesResearch or creation of SBC solutions necessary
Effort:MediumDepending on how skilled you are and if you create your own solutions
Budget:LowPossible with a few FUT-Coins and coins
Risk:LowPrice drops when SBC expires or when better solutions appear
Duration:Short1-2 days
Profit:HighOften you can sell players for a multiple of the market value

How does SBC trading work in FIFA 21?

With SBC trading you take advantage of the fact that certain players are needed for popular squad building challenges. As a result, their market value increases and you earn FUT Coins if you identify and buy the right candidates early. First, visit the SBC overview on FUTBIN and pick an SBC with lots of thumbs up ratings.

Click on the Squad Building Challenge of your choice to see the cheapest solutions. Since the prices on Futbin are not updated in real time, there is a difference between the displayed prices and the actual market prices of the players. This occurs because most players blindly follow the cheapest solution, which usually includes one or two rare but cheap cards.

Consequently, the demand for such cards increases enormously, and so does their price. However, since the players are essential to the solution, they are bought for many times the market price - until the FUTBIN prices are updated and the SBC solution falls to a back seat, whereupon the market price of the players recovers and the solution slides back up.

Therefore, look at the prices of all the players in the SBC solutions in the back places, for example, below the cheapest 20. Identify rare gold, silver or bronze cards in the squads whose price is significantly higher than their average market price. Now that the solution is no longer at the top, the demand decreases and so does the price on the transfer market.

Consequently, you have a window of a few minutes to take the players off the market for a good price before the price is also adjusted on FUTBIN and the SBC solution is displayed among the top results again. Offer the purchased players well above market value now and wait until the supply tightens again and you earn countless FUT Coins.

SBC trading is one of the best trading strategies in FIFA 21, but you have to learn the principle and develop a feeling for when to buy and sell which cards. After that you can even increase your profits by creating your own SBC solutions with cheap, rare players and buying the market empty beforehand.

Invest

FUT Trading InvestExplanation
Knowledge:HighKnowledge of promos, releases, and market behavior required
Effort:Low
Budget:Medium
Risk:HighIf you speculate wrongly, there is a risk of losses, your budget is often blocked in the long term
Duration:MediumFew days to weeks
Profit:HighHigh profits with good speculations

How do I invest correctly in FIFA 21?

When investing you bet on rising prices of certain cards. This requires knowledge about upcoming promos and the market behavior in FIFA 21. In general, this means that you buy players at the market price and speculate on selling them in a few days or weeks at a much higher price.

In particular, you rely on the out-of-packs method. When a player's special card appears and can be drawn in packs, the associated gold card is removed from the packs during that period. Due to the lack of gold card supply, its price increases - the more popular the gold card is, the greater the price increase. The out-of-packs method is especially useful for Team of the Week (TOTW).

In concrete terms, this means that if a player has performed particularly strongly in real soccer, he can receive a Team of the Week card and his regular card disappears from the packs for a week. Consequently, you invest in gold cards from players who have performed particularly well and hope that they will receive a Team of the Week special card and you can sell the gold card a few days later at a profit.

The whole thing also works the other way around: invest in particularly popular cards from the current Team of the Week. As soon as the new TOTW is released, the cards from the current TOTW disappear from the packs, and the price of the most popular cards increases. It's best to invest in TOTW cards on Tuesdays, before the new Team of the Week comes out on Wednesday.

Another way to invest is to speculate on promos in FIFA 21. When EA launches a new promo, it usually includes popular SBCs that require a team of a certain strength. If you have previously invested in cheap 82s, 83s, 84s or other required players, you can quickly and easily earn FUT Coins by selling them shortly after the release of the SBC.

OTW-Trading: Stars in focus

FUT Trading OTW TradingExplanation
Knowledge:MediumPrerequisite: Current soccer knowledge and luck
Effort:Low
Budget:MediumOTW players are often expensive
Risk:MediumLosses are imminent if speculation is wrong
Duration:Medium5-14 days
Profit:HighHigh profits with good speculations

How does OTW-Trading work in FIFA 21?

In FIFA 21 there are again stars in focus special cards (Ones to Watch). These are dynamic cards that are upgraded during the season based on real player's performances - and this happens when he gets an inform card. This usually happens when the player receives a Team of the Week, Man of the Match or Team of the Tournament card.

Consequently, you are betting that a player with an Ones to Watch card will perform well in real soccer and receive multiple Inform cards. If you are right, the value of the OTW card will increase tremendously. However, be on your guard as many FIFA 21 traders trade the Stars in Focus cards on very short notice and want to earn FUT Coins in a hurry.

If you notice that the price of a Stars in Focus card has already increased a lot in the last days and hours, then your train has already sailed and you should keep your hands off an investment.

Either you have to be really quick and invest in the card immediately after the player has scored a goal in real soccer - even before the game is over. Or better: In the long run, you bet on OTW players that you believe in and that you like to have in the club anyway. You sell them exactly when the hype is at its highest to earn the most FUT coins. You will usually make the biggest profits a few hours before the hoped-for inform card is supposed to appear.
