Pump and Dump
This is a relatively well known method to make coins, and works particularly well if you have a lot of coins. This is where you buy up as many of one single player under a certain price that you can afford, and wait. By having say 20 of that player in your trade pile, there will be a market shortage on the Fifa UT marketplace, and so as a result, due to the simple laws of supply and demand, where as the supply decreases and the demand stays the same, prices will increase, leading to an increased price on the UT marketplace.Then when the price has increased release the cards slowly onto the market, which could bring huge profit potential –10k to 1 million depending on the cards you have bought and how many you bought. The temptation for players is to offload all their players at the higher price, but as a result the supply will be there again, and therefore you should offload your players 1 at a time once every hour, until you have sold all your players.
This method works particularly well with higher valued players, as there are fewer in the market anyway, and TOTW players, as fewer IF Robben’s for example will be released by EA. Players will be wanting these high valued/rarer IF players for their Ultimate Teams now, and so will not want to have to wait around hours for the next good deal to come along. Therefore they would be willing to pay the higher price for the player, as a result of you taking some out of the market, leading to huge profits for you.
This has the potential to make anywhere from 2k/card to 100k/card if you took 5 Messi’s out of a market when there were only 10 selling. This method is different from “price-fixing” which I know many people hate, as you are not trying to increase the price by only offering cards at a higher price, but waiting for the natural flow of the market to increase the prices.
I don't use this method often, and so there are no pictures on it below. However, the youtube video below is on price fixing. Although it is on price fixing, this method (Pump and dump) works on the same principles. The only difference is that the guy in the video is putting up the prices on his cards and trying to sell them, unlike Pump and Dump, whereby you wait for the price to increase and then release your cards onto the market one by one.
