A lot of profit can be made with 59-minute trading.

The 59-minute method is more for established players. A certain amount of market experience is required. In the trading strategy, a group of cards is isolated with the filters. Then bargains are filtered out and purchased by instant buy.

This strategy is based on the incredible size of the transfer market in FIFA 19, with millions of offers posted around the world every day. Selling prices, however, can be set by the sellers themselves, within the price range set by EA. Among the millions of cards, real bargains sneak in time and again. This happens when items are sold below market value or mistakes are made.

The 59-minute method is used to find these players before anyone else and make a profit.

Player cards are often set for the duration of one hour. It can be longer, but one hour is the most common. The new cards are launched with an action duration of 59 minutes. By refreshing the page, new transfer offers are always displayed. But the mass of new offers is almost unmanageable. For this reason, filters must be used to delimit a market segment.

Everyone should choose a market segment in which he is well versed. Examples would be "silver players in the Bundesliga" or "under 20s in the Premier League". There are no real filter settings. To stake out a good market sector, the only thing that helps is to practice and thus develop a feel for the filter settings. The main thing is to keep the filtered selection of cards within a manageable range.

For particularly high profit, the performance of players should be observed.

Now that the filters are applied, it's all about speed. All over the world, people are trying to earn FIFA coins using the 59-minute method. Once a bargain is found, it's a matter of acting fast and acquiring the card via instant buy. Then it can either be integrated into the team or resold for a profit.

Tips for the 59-minute method

The competition for this method is very high because the profit can be very high. Many players and even bots, which are always looking for good deals, are lurking for good opportunities. With the help of the filters, the competition can be reduced. The key is to keep experimenting and find a part of the market that is unnoticed by other players. Once such an area is found, the filter should be kept secret as long as possible to maximize profit.

In addition, it is important not to be upset by the time pressure. The 59-minute method is very time-consuming. It can take a long time to find a worthwhile offer. It's crucial not to let the pressure tempt you into making mistakes at the crucial moments.

Have you tried the 59-minute method in FUT? Why not give it a try? Also try other methods like sniping or mass bidding.

On the transfer market in FUT there are numerous different methods to make profit with cards. The mass bidding method involves little risk and is therefore suitable for beginners. The trading strategy involves making profit with a player card by placing as many bids as possible.

With a mass of bids you will succeed sooner or later

What is mass bidding in FIFA Ultimate Team?

The mass bidding strategy, like many other strategies, takes full advantage of the enormous size of the FIFA transfer market. Every day, millions of player cards change hands in FIFA Ultimate Team. During auctions, items are often sold below their actual market value.

With mass bidding, players try to gain an advantage by placing as many bids as possible. The acquired cards can then be integrated into the team or resold for a profit.

This is how mass bidding works

First, a player must be found with whom profit is to be generated. Ideally, the price development of the card should be studied beforehand to find out when the value is particularly high or particularly low.

With the help of the search function, the hit display of the transfer market is adjusted so that only the cards you are looking for are displayed. The aim of mass bidding is to bid on as many offers as possible.

It is important that the amount of the bids is always aligned with the profit. As a basic principle, each transaction should make a profit of at least 100 FIFA coins. Additionally, the five percent transfer tax, which EA Sports charges for every transfer market action, has to be taken into account.

If the cheapest buy-it-now price of a card is 3,500 coins, only about 3,300 will remain when selling it thanks to the taxes. In order to make at least 100 coins profit, you may bid up to a maximum of 3,200 with this tactic.

Compare multiple card versions to bid on valuable cards as well

Bulk bidding requires a lot of patience because it may take a long time to achieve success. Many players roam the transfer market looking for bargains and bid on numerous items.

But the market in FIFA Ultimate Team is so huge that even bots wouldn't have a chance to keep track of everything. So good offers slip through again and again. Placing as many bids as possible guarantees that sooner or later cards will be purchased at low prices. These can then be resold at a profit.

Tips for mass bidding

In order to optimize profit with mass bidding, it should always be kept in mind that the value of player cards is variable. The price of certain items is determined by supply and demand. Often the value of player cards increases, for example, they are needed in squad-building challenges. Ideally, cards are bought when they are cheap and then sold when the price has increased.

When bidding in bulk, it can also be very advantageous to take advantage of the maintenance of the platform in question. EA Sports periodically performs maintenance on its servers to set up new versions of FIFA 19. This means that players will not have access to the game's online features during this time. However, the transfer market always continues to run and is not affected by the offline phase. You can find out when EA Sports will perform maintenance in the launcher or on the Facebook page of FIFA Ultimate Team.

During SBCs, the values of cards often increase drastically

Therefore it is worth to place as many bids as possible right before the maintenance starts. Meanwhile, other players can't outbid your bids. This increases the chances of getting good Player cards at auction cheap.

Mass bidding requires a lot of patience. It is important to always remember that this trading method should bring long-term success. So don't be discouraged by setbacks and long dry spells and keep going.
