Price updates tracked

Market pulse

How the whole market has moved between price updates, split by card value, and when it has been cheapest and dearest.

Market index

Average price move of the tracked cards in each value band, chained from the first update (100 = prices on that day).

When is the market cheap?

Market index at each update compared with its average, by day and time (UK time, when FUT content drops).

The weekly cycle: Thursday dip, Friday Night Bubble

Meta players follow the same shape most weeks (UK time). Buy in the Thursday dip, sell into the Friday Night Bubble.

Buy window

Thursday rewards dip Thu 08:00–10:30

Weekly rewards land and flood the market with supply, so prices are at their lowest of the week from the rewards release until about 10:30.

Sell window

Friday Night Bubble Fri 18:00–20:00

FUT Champions gets going and everyone wants their best team, so meta players hit their weekly high. Prices cool off as players get their rewards and finish their runs.

Fodder tracker

SBC fodder: the price of the cheapest gold cards of each rating (the average of the 5 cheapest), the cards SBCs need by the thousand. Ratings near their 7-day low are the classic buy-and-hold for the next big SBC; near the 7-day high is when fodder holders sell. Click a rating to chart it.

Gold fodder price

Average of the 5 cheapest cards of this rating at each update, with FC27's key times marked.

By rating

7-day range: where the price sits between its lowest (0%) and highest (100%) in the last 7 days.

Around key times

How prices moved from the last update before each key time to the first update after it (both within 24 hours). Rewards and content drops add supply or demand - this shows which way the market has usually gone.

TOTW watch

Players in each Team of the Week, with how their normal card's price moved around it: the price at the last update before the TOTW went live (Wednesday 6pm UK), now, and when it first moved. Meta players (FUTIQ rating 85+ on their normal card) are the ones whose normal card usually reacts; "× fodder" shows how the market prices them - 1.75× the fodder price of their rating (the average of the 5 cheapest cards of that rating) or more is priced like a meta card, so a meta player still under that may be cheap. Click a row for the normal card's price chart.

Buy-low opportunities

Players priced below their usual level whose usual price would pay a profit after EA's 5% tax. Click a row for the price chart and a profit calculator.

Price spikes

Players priced well above their usual level right now - worth knowing if you hold one (it could be a good time to sell) or are about to buy one (it may come back down). The usual price is the same peer-adjusted, last-7-days figure the buy-low list uses. Click a row for the price chart.

Signal tracker

Every buy-low signal the tracker would have raised at each past update, followed update by update: when it first became profitable to sell, whether it is in profit now, and how the whole system is doing.

By price band

Closed signals decide the win rate; open ones show their profit if sold now.

By size of dip

Do bigger dips bounce back more often? This is what to watch as history grows.

How the tracker works

Where the prices come from: each master database update records a PlayStation price for every card. The tracker lines those updates up, carrying a price forward when it didn't change, and treats a price of 0 as extinct.
Usual price: the median of the card's prices over the last 7 days, adjusted for the market: each earlier price is compared with how similar cards were priced at the time (golds, silvers and bronzes of the same rating; special cards at a similar price), so if Gold 85s have dropped 35% across the board, a Gold 85's usual price drops 35% too and only cards that are cheap compared with their peers show up here. One-off spikes more than 1.5 times the card's overall median are ignored (FUTBIN sometimes shows a placeholder when a card has no listings). The player view also shows the plain median before the market adjustment.
Profit after tax: the usual price rounded down to a price you can actually list at, minus EA's 5% tax, minus today's price.
Signals: Still falling means the price dropped at each of the last two updates, which usually means a new card settling or a replacement promo, not a dip. On the floor means the card is within 5% of the lowest price EA allows, so it can hardly fall further. Bounced N times before means this card has already dipped and recovered in the history.
Signal strength (0–100; the list is sorted by Signal by default - High, Medium, then Low confidence, strongest first within each - and any column title with a sort arrow can be clicked to sort by it) multiplies five things: the return after tax, on a scale that flattens out so huge percentages don't swamp everything (5% scores 0.17, 25% 0.5, 50% 0.67, 100% 0.8); how often dips in the same price band have come back to their usual price so far; confidence (Low 0.6, Medium 0.8, High 1, plus 0.1 for each time this card has already bounced, up to 1); a size factor so a few hundred coins of profit ranks below thousands (0.8 at 100 coins, 0.9 at 1,000, 1 at 10,000+); and risk (halved while still falling, 10% higher when the price is sitting on its floor and can barely drop).
Confidence (red Low, orange Medium, green High) grows with history: Low until a card has 5 prices and one recovery on record, Medium after that, High with 10+ prices and 2+ recoveries while not falling.
When it may rise: for every earlier update, the tracker checks how many cards in the same price band that had dipped 5% or more were back near their usual price at the next update, and how long it took. It uses the card's own past recoveries when it has some.
Fodder tracker: for every gold rating with at least 10 tracked cards, the fodder price is the average of its 5 cheapest listed prices at each update - what an SBC that needs that rating costs. 7-day range shows where it sits between its 7-day low and high; Near 7-day low (bottom fifth) is the classic time to buy fodder ahead of SBC demand, Near 7-day high (top fifth) the time to sell, Spiking means it jumped 15% or more at the latest update, and On the floor that its cheapest cards are at the lowest price EA allows for that rating, so they can't fall further.
Key times (UK, from FC27's schedule) are marked on the charts: Rivals rewards (Thursday 08:00), Squad Battles rewards (Sunday 08:05), FUT Champions closing (Tuesday 08:00 - its rewards are claimed through the weekend before) and the daily 18:00 content drop (faint lines). Two shaded windows mark the weekly cycle for meta players: the Thursday rewards dip (Thursday 08:00–10:30, the week's cheapest time - buy) and the Friday Night Bubble (Friday 18:00–20:00, as FUT Champions starts - the week's dearest time, sell). The day-and-time grid outlines the same two slots. Around key times compares the last update before each one with the first update after it; it gets more reliable with more updates around each key time.
Price spikes: players whose price now is at least the Min rise above their usual price (the same peer-adjusted, last-7-days usual price as the buy-low list), with their own Quality filter. Last update is the change since the previous price update; Sell now vs usual is the profit after tax if you had bought at the usual price and sold now; Still rising means it rose at each of the last two updates and New 7-day high that no price in the last 7 days was higher. Every table on this page sorts by clicking its column titles.
Signal tracker: at every past update the tracker asks "would this card have been a buy-low signal with what was known then?" and follows each signal forward. A signal closes when the price reaches the usual price it was signalled at (target hit), when selling would lose a third of the target profit after EA's 5% tax or the price is 15% below what you paid, whichever comes first (stopped out; a true 1:3 risk to reward), or after 7 days (timed out, scored at the price then). Because the tax alone costs 5% of the price, a 1:3 stop is only below the price you paid when the target profit is more than about 15% of it, so smaller signals are not raised. Seven days covers one full weekly cycle of promos and Weekend League rewards; a dip that hasn't recovered in that time usually reflects a real change in the card's value. Win rate counts closed signals that would have sold at a profit after tax.
Market timing needs updates spread over different days and times. With one update a day at similar times, the day-and-time grid fills slowly; more frequent updates at varied times fill it faster.
