Hey Guys!
There's been quite a few forums asking for Trading Tips and Methods so I thought I'd put this together for people who are struggling. A few methods may change over the time FIFA 16 is out but I'll keep it up to date!
(I'll try not to make it too detailed unless people ask for more details)

The Basics!
- Trading is simply 'Buy Low, Sell High'

EA TAX!
- EA charge a 5% Tax each time you sell something
Why?
- They do this to stop player inflation and removes coins from the game
How do I find 5% of my final price?
- You do the Final Price x 0.05 or you can do Final Price x 0.95
EG: If you sold a player for 100,000. You would lose 5,000 coins.

Non Trading Methods
- Play Matches
- Use Coin Boost from the Catalogue
- Coin Bonuses from Tournaments
- Buying FIFA Points for packs (As Overly-priced they are!)
- Buying Coins (Very risky on FIFA 16! I do not advise!)


This is my guide on efficient ways to make coins. These methods will not make you millions in weeks, more a couple of hundred thousand in a week-10 days. There are no massively new techniques but feel free to have a read. Now, I know this may come as no new information to some of you, but it is merely what I have found works. It by no means guarantees you endless supplies of coins, but steady progress. Something I have spent a couple of FIFA releases to get into. If any of it seems a bit vague, it is because I don't want to give my exact examples in every case as I still want to make coins! There should be enough info though to get you going.

Have A 'Go To' Card:
When trading is tough, you don't want to be wasting time. Times like Saturday Lunchtime when EVERYONE is trading. This is the perfect time to have a 'Go To' card. Usually, this has commonly been fitness cards. Buy low, sell low. It is small profit, although slightly better when at the early stages of release. Other cards I have found work really well are Chemistry styles, not the really popular ones like Hunter, buy at a maximum of 150/200, and re-list at 300-400 buy now. Another is position cards. I find this works really well. Available regularly at 150 (sometimes 200), again 350-450 buy now. It is all about keeping you ticking over when trading is not viable in players, peak times and such.
Profit potential (After EA TAX): 200-300 coins per card.


Changing A Position:
(This worked very well in FIFA 15) I have found that on 16, it is working particularly well for me. I have changed Erik Lamela for example. I buy him low priced, around 1,500-1,800 (On a bid) for an RM, then using some of the cards I have from my 'Have a go to' I change his position to RW. I personally have sold this combination for 3,500 = A very tidy profit indeed. NOTE: I cannot guarantee this will work repeatedly so I do not suggest buying every Lamela in RM and changing them all. This has also worked for Mohamed Salah and S.Feghouli. Try not to use the players I've suggested. A few options:
Carlos Vela
Promes
Profit potential (After EA TAX): 300-1500 coins per card. (although as above can be more)


Bronze Pack Method:
I know, I know. You have read all about this and this is nothing new, but I am a firm backer of this method. If nothing else, it is a relatively inexpensive way of keeping your own players contracts topped up. I do not know the odds, but I often get team fitness or something of equivalent value from the Bronze Pack, so I am probably at break even profit wise, and this includes me keeping all contracts/healing/training cards for my own use. I only sell the rare items, so when a decent player/kit pops up, or team fitness I earn my money back that way. You can also use the standard bronze pack, although I did not find this as useful to me. You only really need to sell 3 items and you have made profit.
Profit potential (After EA TAX): 0-800 coins per pack


The Inform Method
This is not to buy Inform players, but rather their non in form cards. So lets say Dimitri Payet is Inform. Then we are looking to purchase his Standard card. If a player is In form, then it is justifiable to suggest that he is playing well in real life. This is a trigger to people wanting to buy, which is a way in which the real life affects the FIFA market. So we buy Dimitri Payet Standard card, still being careful not to pay over the odds for him, As this method does not work with every player. Can also try it with Steven Naismith
Profit potential (After EA TAX): 300-500 coins per card


Discard Technique!
The first step is to search for items on the market which price is lower than the compensation of a quick sell. Use the search filters in order to be easier to find what you want. Once found the opportunity, it is time to acquire it. Buy the item as cheaply as you can but do not get overtaken by other players who may be trying to do the same. If the opportunity is too good, you can use the option Buy now: by a predetermined value by the seller, you can purchase the item before the auction ends. Any surplus value materializes with the sale. Once you have the card in your possession, discard it doing a quick sell. Unlike the sales made in the market, you do not pay taxes on the quick sell.

Aim: Buy cards less than their quick sell prices!
Examples: Shiny gold staff quick sell for 240+ coins
NOTE: Gold players no longer work because of price ranges!

Chemistry Style Technique!
This is the process of finding a popular player, with a popular and expensive Chemistry Style (Hunter or Shadow) applied, on a bid for cheaper than their going Buy Now price. Although these bargains will often pop up on a Buy Now, you will have much less competition sniping one of these bargains on a bid. Firstly find the going Buy Now price of your chosen player with the basic Chemistry Style applied, secondly find the price of your desired Chemistry Style Consumable, and finally gauge the going Buy Now price of your player with that Chemistry Style applied. Once you have this information, you can calculate your maximum price to bid. However you should always look to bid in the lowest possible increments, or you will just be wasting coins! Once youve won the auction, list the player at the cheapest on the market (if several are listed) on a 1 hour listing. Always ensure youre proactive and re-listing after the hour, as they often sell (assuming you have listed them for less than the player + chemistry style value combined).


59th Minute Sniping!
The first step is to Study The Market. To recognize the bargains, you will need to know the market very well. And do not forget that the market changes. This first step must be repeated periodically. If you already know the prices usually charged by certain cards, then it is time to apply the corresponding filters and head to 59th minute of the auction. Remember to refresh the page in order to have access to newly released sales. Once you find cards with a BIN (Buy It Now) well below the market price, take advantage and anticipate up to competition. After purchasing the card, sell it and convert the added value in coins. Good way to do this is to make a list of players and prices they sell for. Set their max BIN 10% lower than their sale price and then buy any that are within that price.


Question?
When do I buy these players?:
My favourite time to buy is somewhere around 22:30 23:30 GMT. I find this to be when the best deals start to present themselves. The times to avoid I always think are around school times pre-09:00 GMT and between 16:00-21:00 GMT, as these seem to be really difficult to get a bargain. *This changes when there is a happy hour or similar, TOTW, TOTY, TOTS as everyone seems to be selling cheap and no one really buying as everyone is buying packs, hoping to pack a Top player.

Hope you enjoy these trading methods!
If you have any questions, enquires then send me a message and I'll be happy to help!

Let the Trading Commence!

More Trading Methods and Tips will be out closer to FIFA and on FIFA release.

Add another part to sniping players on the 59th minute as you find deals and for the bronze pack method, wouldn't you normally use 400 coin packs instead of 750 ones?

Another trading tip is to search a player lowest bin. I picked up Cavani for 2.1k and he sells for 13k
