Today at 07.00 (my local time) I turned on my console to play a few games before work.
Ive played 2 games and at 07.25 (my local time) I went to trade pile to take some contracts and healing for the team. I like to buy things in the morning because I can find them cheaper. And I start bidding, from 59th minute, 150 for contracts (90), 150 for fitness (all squad) and 150 for healing all, usually thats how Im playing. Im bidding everything that starts from 150, and in the last minute Im fighting to win a good price. For me bidding everything with 150 is same like marking the item that I want to buy, to see it later on watch list. I think Ive bid around 55 items from development and after I went to player search to see how is going the market. And I saw some good players with good prices. Ok, I said lets make some shopping. To tell you, my bank was 57.000 coins

Anelka was starting at 150, current bid was 3050 and Ive bid 3500 (around 15minutes till the end of the auction)
Terry starting at 150, current bid was I think 2000, Ive bid 2500 (10 minutes before expiring)

I was bidding also for Nasri, David Silva, Chamakh, Malouda, Cole, Vidic and...Essien (he was at 150 staring price(59th min)so I said to mewtf, I will try, maybe in the morning I have luck and I will get him with less than 50k).


Im telling you, I was not thinking to buy all the players because I didnt have coins for everyone. I was marking them with 150coins, to see how the auction will end, to see if a lot of users are fighting for themetc. And I was thinking, ok, if I will have the chance to buy Terry below 19k, or Chamakh with 4-5k, I will be happy.


Now here is the big thing! I want to tell you, that exact at 08.00 my local time, the ULTIMATE TEAM SERVER was down for maintenance. I think you already know what happened. The server was closed for everyone for 2 hoursand, my dear friend, I want to tell you that at 16.30(my local time) when I came back home and started ULTIMATE TEAM 11 I saw the next. Are you ready?

25 contract cards (90-rare) bought with 150
11 healing all cards bought with 150
17 cards - fitness all squad bought with 150


Are you ready?

Anelka won with 3500
Terry lost
D.Silva won with 150
Nasri lost
Chamakh won with 150
Malouda and Cole were lost
Vidic won with 1000
And my big surprise, I was almost shocked: ESSIEN won with 150, this is almost incredible.

So you can do the math, Ive sold the contracts with 550, healing cards with 600, fitness al squad with 1500, Anelka with 31.950, Chamakh with 7200. Vidic, Essien and Silva I still have them, but they worth over 125k together.

When the server was down I made over 250.000 coins, in a few minutes.

The conclusion: Is very important to bid before the server will go down, usually they have one maintenance per month and they announce us 1 day before, in the scroll bar of the game, where we can see also some football results, friends that are signing in etc. I think you now where.

They announce at HH:MM Pacific Time, just for your information Pacific Time is -8hrs GMT, USA and Canada Time Zone, so if you live in UK, you are at GMT. If you dont know how to calculate, just contact me, tell me your city and country and I will tell you.

So, when you will see the announce next month, be alert, is important to have some coins in your bank for shopping.

Remember this tip you can use it once per month, when the server is down 2 hours for maintenance.


Tips

The Big Secret!!!!
Now this one is a bit taboo as not an awful lot of people know about it, it,but it works and works really well,if i said that the best deal i had out of using this was getting Messi for 5000 coins you wouldn't believe me would you......Yes that's right 5000 coins,i then sold him for 400,000!

step 1: Go to Trading " search auctions"
step 2: select "level" gold
step 3: put the amount of money you currently own in " buy now maximum price "
step 4: click search button
step 5: Now scroll all the way to the 58th-59th minute
step 6: when you reach 58th-59th minute stay there as thats where you find the bargains! keep scrolling back and forth e.g.
58 -59 59-58 and so on,


1. Play in Single Player Tournaments. Profit Potential = 300 to 600 coins per game.
Enter tourneys against CPU to earn coins. Win every game at least 3-0, and earn around 500 to 600 coins. Most tourneys pay out around 500 to 1500 coins as a trophy bonus. Remember: use your 2nd team to earn coins while preserving your best players' contracts and protecting them from injury.

2. Play in Online Tournaments. Profit Potential = 200 to 800 coins per game.
Online tournaments pay more coins due to the DNF modifier and online modifier. If you win a game 3-0 online, you can get 700+ coins easily. If you quit a game, then your DNF modifier drops. You get fewer coins in future tourney wins.

3. Play in Single Player Match. Potential = 300 to 600 coins per game.
Again, same as tourneys w/o the tournament bonus factor.
4. Play in Online Match. Profit Potential = 200 to 800 coins per game.
Same as tourneys w/o the trophy bonus factor.


5. Bronze Pack Method. Potential = 600 to 750 coins on AVERAGE.
A very popular method where you purchase bronze packs then resell the contents for profit. This has been less effect recently ever since the trading market crashed. Each pack gives you 2-3 players (sell for 200 each), kits & balls (200 each), and contracts & managers (150 to 300 each). The main problem is you NEED TO SELL your inventory to make any money. Since bronze cards have the least value, you may experience days without selling anything.

6. Silver Pack Method. Profit Potential = 750 to 25k Coins per pack.
Same as the bronze pack but with silver cards. Carry a slightly higher value, plus adds the possibility to obtain a rare silver card in the process.

7. Gold Pack Method. Profit Potential = 500 coins to 1 million coins per pack.
The elite profit method for packs. Has the ability to generate anywhere from 500 coins to 1 million coins profit per pack. This is due to the luck factor if you pull a Ronaldo, Messi, or other HIGH rated player in a gold pack.

8. Buy, Boost, Bank. Profit Potential = 1k to 50k coins extra profit per card.
A fairly underground method used to generate more profit from an otherwise lower value card.
Example
We buy a Valencia RW 4-3-2-1 w/ 7 contracts on the open market for 3k. We could resell immediately for 4k and get a small profit. With Buy, Boost, Bank, we increase the value of the card by:
* Adding 33 contracts
* Adding Player Attributes increase to highlight the card
* Changing the formation to 4-3-3
* then Setting the auction for 9k BIN.
Do you see what we did? Now, a Valencia buyer can use this card RIGHT AWAY in his 4-3-3 formation without worrying about contracts or chemistry. The Player attributes also generates extra attention since the rating attributes cause the card to get highlighted in the listing.

9. The Professional Trader. Profit Potential = 5k to 200k per card.
This method works really well when you find out which players sell the best.
1. Sort auctions by Gold, Minimum Price = 4k coins
2. See what is selling well and create a list of 10 to 15 players
3. Search for these players at the lowest BIN price
4. Buy it then resell the card at a higher price
5. Rinse and Repeatedly
You will eventually get good at recognizing deals in the marketplace, and become an expert "trader."
10. Buy during Non-Peak hours, Sell during Peak hours. Profit Potential = 2k to 100k coins per card.

Another good method is when you buy cards during a cooled off market during the night, then sell in a higher volume market during the afternoon-evening. Most people play FUT between 4pm and 4am in their time zone. You simply stay up late at night when others are sleeping to pick up bargains. Wait until tomorrow and sell during the afternoon at a higher price. This method is REALLY popular and is currently the largest thread in the UK FUT forums.

11. Pump and Dump. Profit Potential = 1k to 50k coins per card
This strategy takes careful monitoring of 1 specific player. You buy up as many of the player as possible, creating a short supply in the marketplace. This pumps up prices to your advantage. Once the demand is there, you unload your cards at a higher price as you meet the demand.
Example
We buy every Robinho for under 5k, then hold. Wait until the marketplace is absent of Robinho or has a low supply. Then you unload your Robinho's 1 by 1, giving you FULL control over the market supply.

12. Contract Drug Dealer. Profit Potential = 250 to 1k coins per contract.
Everybody is addicted to contracts. Make easy coins by feeding this addiction with a few minutes of your time.


MARKET TIPS

IN ORDER TO MAKE COINS FAST( AND IM TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS) YOU MUST HAVE MILLIONS TO INVEST MY ADVICE IS 3 MIL AT LEAST ! I always have coins for sell so if you come to me ill give you great discounts



How to get steals on the market
There is a simple setup that will MAX your profit return
What you want to do is set these preferences

Player Level:GOLD
MINIMUM PRICE:ANY
MAX:ANY
BUY IT NOW MINIMUM:20000
SCROLL PAGES UNTIL YOU GET TO ABOUT THE 50 MINUTE MARK AND YOU SHOULD FIND BARGAINS

ANOTHER GREAT WAY TO FIND BARGAINS IN THE MARKET IS

PLAYER LEVEL:GOLD!
MAXIMUM PRICE: 150
THESE ARE ALL AUCTIONS STARTING AT 150! Just add the items you want to your watch list and watch them! And bid on them! There are GAMERS BUYING PLAYERS FOR CHEAP PRICES AS I TYPE THIS!



ONE HUGE! TIP!
You can make the market raise the price on the player, how? Pick a player and have the money to invest. Example, Theo Walcott (79) buy all the Walcotts you see and raise the price by 2-3 times you bought them for, people will have to pay your price because there are no others on the market.

DONT DO THIS WITH THE PLAYER I GAVE YOU IN THE EXAMPLE THERE ARE TOO MANY THEO WALCOTTS, DO IT WITH EXPENSIVE PLAYERS!

AND THE LAST AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL TIPS IS!
HOW TO GET PLAYERS CHEAPER THAN THEIR STARTING BID!
Always have 10 or more bronze cards on your trade pile, now if there is a Cristiano Ronal who is starting bid is 600,000 and you to get it for 500,000/550,000, then offer that seller a useless bronze player and 500,000, if he rejects your offer, make the same deal but raise it buy 50,000, this is one of the best ways to get steals on the market because if the seller needs coins fast he will take the offer fast (Only do it with players that are on for 12 hours to 3 days so that the seller has time to look at the offer you made.

How to acquire great player in Gold packs!
Ok here is the trick Ive used! And its worked for me.

Time Zones! Most of the UT players are from England and the best time to look for deals is around 12-4AM GMT because most people are not on around that time.
