FIFA 22 FUT Coins: How to earn money with FUT trading


In this FUT Coins guide for FIFA 22 you will learn:

  • What is the difference between FUT Coins and FIFA Points?
  • How to earn FUT Coins on the transfer market
  • Which trading methods will make you a FUT millionaire in FIFA 22

Also in FIFA 22 the soccer-enthusiastic online-community tries to start in the popular FUT-mode. To quickly build a successful team, the use of real money in the FIFA series is tempting - but there is another way. We show you how to build a fortune with the in-game currency FUT Coins without using your hard-earned Euros.

What is the difference between FIFA 22 FUT Coins & FIFA Points?

In the game mode "FIFA Ultimate Team" or short FUT, there are two types of ingame currency: FIFA Coins and FIFA Points. Both serve the progress in the game, but differ in essential points.

  • FUT Co ins are earned by completing matches and completing various tasks and challenges in FIFA Ultimate Team. If you reach certain ranks in the game modes "Division Rivals", "Squad Battles" or "Weekend League", you will also be rewarded with FUT coins. Trading on the transfer market can also earn you some coins in FIFA 22.
  • FIFA Points can only be bought with real money. In FUT mode, you use them to unlock new map packs that contain random players, club items, or consumables.

If you want to gain an advantage in FIFA by using real money and FIFA Points, you should do this mainly at the beginning of a FIFA season. At this time there are less special cards in circulation. The content bought with FIFA Points can be sold on the transfer market more easily. Tip: EA Play members get a ten percent discount on digital purchases from EA.

You can buy player packs with FIFA 22 FUT Coins or FIFA Points - but for the latter you have to use real money.

How do I invest my FIFA 22 FUT Coins in special cards?

Like on the real financial market you speculate on an increase in value of certain goods in FIFA 22 - in this case FUT cards. Ideally, you buy player cards at market value or below and sell them later at a profit.

With the "out-of-packs" method, you bet on the appearance of special cards. When one of the special player cards is added to the packs, the normal gold cards of that player disappear from the packs for the promotion period. Since they can no longer be drawn, the supply decreases. The more popular a gold card is, the higher its value increases.

Use this method primarily with the Team of the Week (TOTW). If a player is in a particularly good shape in the real soccer action, the possibility increases that he will be included in the FIFA 22 Team Of The Week and a corresponding special card will appear. His regular card will then disappear from the packs for a week. So follow the real soccer action and invest in gold cards of popular pros who have played particularly well. If these pros get a special card, their gold cards increase in value and you can sell them for a profit.

Vice versa you can also earn FIFA 22 FUT-Coins with the TOTW cards. Buy especially popular cards from the current TOTW. As soon as the next team is formed, the TOTW cards of the previous week disappear from the packs and the value increases. Always invest a day before the new TOTW team is announced.

Special cards from the Team of the Week can be used to earn FUT in FIFA 22.

How does overpriced selling work in FIFA 22?

The principle of overpriced selling in FIFA 22 is very simple: You buy a player for his market value and sell him for a slightly higher value. Especially suitable for this trading method are cards that are often used in games or needed for squad building challenges. When selling, set the auction time to one hour and add about ten to thirty percent to the market value.

It pays to aim for a lot of small wins rather than one big one. The more you ask, the longer it will take to find a buyer. The overpriced selling in FIFA 22 works mainly because there are many FUT players who don't look for the cheapest prices or want a special player card very badly right now.

On the transfer market you sell less important cards with the right intuition with profit.

How does Sniping & Flipping work in FIFA 22?

Sniping and Flipping is suitable if you want to earn FUT-Coins quickly in FIFA 22. With this trading method you buy FUT cards below their market value (sniping) and immediately put them on the transfer market at a higher price (flipping).

Open the transfer market and use the search settings to find players with high stakes. These will be traded frequently accordingly. Sets the maximum buy-it-now price below the market value. This should not find any object at first. Then refresh the search until a card comes up and buy it immediately!

With each new search, you must adjust two criteria, otherwise the system will not return any new results. It's best to set the minimum bid price to 150 and the minimum buy-it-now price to 200, and increase the values slightly with each new search. Use the FIFA 22 Companion App for a most successful sniping & flipping, because you can confirm faster here than on the consoles.

Earn FIFA 22 FUT Coins with Icon-Trading

Icon trading is a very risky trading method in FIFA 22. Here you can earn a lot of FUT Coins at one go, but due to the speculative character you can easily lose large sums. This is because the popular icon cards are expensive and EA charges a 5% fee for each successful transaction.

So if you sell an icon card for 500,000 FUT Coins, 25,000 coins will go directly to EA. So in order to make a profit, you definitely need to factor in that five percent up front. In this case, the purchase price must be less than 475,000 FUT Coins.

The icons are especially valuable in FIFA 22. With the right FUT trading method, you can earn large sums of money

To achieve the highest possible profit, you should study the price trends of the available icon cards on FUTBIN before the first trade. This way you will develop a feeling for the market. Internalize the following FUT mechanisms, which are all based on the principle of supply and demand:

  • Purchase prices for icons are usually lowest between Sunday and Tuesday. This is when many players sell their Weekend League teams. In addition, Squad Battles Rewards open on Sunday evenings or Monday mornings, bringing many new cards to the market. So the large supply makes for low prices.
  • Sale prices are usually highest between Thursday and Saturday. Thursday afternoons are when most players gear up for the Weekend League. Rewards from Division Rivals and FUT Champions are already sold and the proceeds are reinvested. The high demand drives prices up until the weekend.

By the way, most players offer their icons during the day. Therefore put your cards on sale at night and go about 20 to 30 percent above the cheapest buy-it-now price.
