FIFA 22 - Bidding Guide

Bidding as a whole is one of the easier parts of the market as you don’t need much previous skill, but there are still some things that are quite important to know.

As with every trading method, correct player selection is a key part to its success. If you’re planning on doing mass bidding, your coin total likely is relatively low. Let’s say you’ve got 15.000. You don’t want to use up more than 5% of that balance on a single bid. Meaning if we stick with that number, you’ve got ~750 to bid on each card. A good number of cards you should be able to bid on at once is around the 20 mark. That’s when you’ll actually be doing some damage with your bids. Anything less than that and your bid streak on a set card isn’t as strong meaning less won bids.

That covers your coin management side of player selection. But what about actual cards in my budget?

Let’s continue with the same numbers. You’ve got 750 to bid with 20x. Have a look at non-rare gold cards that hold a value above discard. You can find out which cards fit the criteria here! Once you’ve found a card that might work, have a feel of the supply. If it’s enough for quick bids and has demand in price that’s over the regular min-listing price, you can probably try that card. Another thing is having a selection of cards you can use. Some might work better than others. Be versatile, there’s more than enough cards out there that hold value.

All that’s left is to calculate your margins. Again, as with any market trading, knowing what you should buy at and what you should sell at is very important. That decides your potential profit.

Another easy figure to follow is to bid ~10% under the current buy price of one card. That accounts for the 5% tax and leaves you with enough profit to make it worthwhile.

*Note that everything that’s been talked about here can be scaled right to your budget. Don’t take these low budget examples as the only thing you can do with bidding.

Now all that’s left to do is start getting the bids on. Bid as much as you can. If a card gets outbid, don’t get dragged into a bidding war. You’re smarter than anyone else, stick to your margins and don’t budge. If you’re not seeing much success with a certain card, move on and rotate.

Another reason why you should have a good variety of cards is it’s hard to sell a lot of the same card at the same time without impacting the card price in a negative way. Make sure to not list at the very lowest current price but slightly above. Also slightly time stagger your listings, but having multiple cards to list partly solves that.

All that should cover mass bidding quite well but when it comes to just regular single bidding, it’s not much different.

All these elements are very much useful for something like bidding on a single Icon. You’ll still need to manage your budget in regards to what card you can afford to bid on and you will need to identify your margins before you make your move.

Until next time, happy trading!
