Hello, you are reading THE Ultimate Team Trading Guide by JayRodriguez.
Part 1 - Consumables
In this part I will show you what prices to buy consumables for (non peak) and then what prices to slap them back up for!
SQUAD GOLD FITNESS - Buy under 1800, Sell under 2300 (if you sell 50 a day then thats 25k!)
SQUAD BRONZE FITNESS - Buy under 1400, Sell under 1900 (25k if you sell 50)
NON RARE GOLD CONTRACTS - Buy under 300, Sell 350/400 (if you sell 80 thats 8000 in one lot!
RARE CONTRACTS - Buy under 400, Sell 500
Remember, this method is the most effective at non peak times (11pm-8am) or school/work times. Also, you need to relist the players at peak times (weekends or 3pm-11pm)

Part 2 - Players
This is how I got to sell coins almost every day on eBay. Intertwinned with the Consumable method, this will get you Messi in no time (if you want Messi, I think he's too weak, haha)
These are the players I used, but there are loads with the same mould (Hernandez, etc)
ST- Remy buy under 800 sell 1100- about 100 a day you can get if you have the coins
ST- Park - . Buy under 700 sell 900 - about 100 of them as well gets you 20k before tax.
Doumbia ST- buy 1000 sell 1400 about 100 of him gets you 30k

Part 3 - Transformation
This method is very effective, but only at peak times, and not after market crashes.
Now, we buy a 83 Hernandez in a 5-2-2-1 formation for 2k (example), in CF. Then, we realise there is no CF in 5-2-2-1, so we convert him to 4-4-1-1, and put a contract on him and relist him for 5k (example)
A player I used for this was Neymar.

Part 4 - Refresh your memory
These are some methods you will be familiar with, but just to jog your memory here they are:
Bronze Pack Method.
This is a hugely popular method where you purchase bronze packs then resell the contents for profit. Each pack gives you 2-4 players (sell for 200 each), kits & balls (200 each), and contracts & managers (150 to 300 each). The main problem with this method is that you need to sell these cards to make any money. Since bronze cards have the least value, and also the least interest, you may experience days without selling and of the cards, however if everything does sells, which it will eventually, you should have made 5x the cost of the bronze pack.
As you have probably worked out this method gets you very little profit, and can be painfully slow, which is why I only recommend it to people who have very little to no coins, to be honest I dont really understand why it is so popular in the first place.
Some people think that buying gold packs is a good way to make coins, theoretically speaking it does have a massive profit potential, for example if you pull out an inform Ronaldo or Messi you have just made over 1million coins. However, from my experience of playing ultimate team since 2009, buying gold packs is usually a waste of coins, when buying a gold pack it is rare that you make your coins back let alone a profit. Whether or not thats just my luck or not, I dont know, but I believe the coins could be better used elsewhere to generate guaranteed profit.

Discard Method
The discard method is a very easy concept and simple to do, there is no risk however the profit returns are not as big for the time you put in compared to the other methods, unless you get lucky.
First of all you need to search for gold players on the auction, put your maximum bid on the search at 300 coins, now you need to bid on every 75+ overall gold player that has a bid under 300, making sure that you dont bid more than 300, as then you may be making a loss. You can also search for a maximum buy now of 300 coins, the cheaper you get the player the better, however there is sometimes competition and it can be hard to get the player much cheaper, after you have won the auction you need to discard the player, which is where your profit comes from.
The amount of coins you get from discarding a player is based on his overall rating:
You get 300coins for a 75 normal gold player, and then an extra 4 coins for each player rating above 75
You get 600coins for a 75 rare gold player (shiny), and then an extra 8 coins for each player rating above 75
For example, discarding a 78 rated rare gold player will give you 624 coins (600 + 3*8)
Youd be surprised at how lucky you can get with this method, I have got lucky quite a lot of times and found highly rated players up for a buy now of 200, the only reason I can think people would even put their players up for this price is because they are either quitting, or trying to really annoy there friends.
Part 5 - Informs
As you are all aware, inform gold players ALWAYS discard for near to the amount of 10000 coins. This is the fabric of this method.
At off peak times, try and search for informs under 9300 coins...I usually input this
MIN PRICE 8000 > to get rid of the deadwood!
MAX PRICE 9000 > this is because we need to make profit!
Now, we bid up to 9100 coins on informs at OFF PEAK times to either discard anywhen, or to sell on for a higher price at a peak time.
A list of players to search for when looking for discard price informs:
Valbuena, Ruiz, Aimar, Soldado, Griezman, Balmont, Roux, Sirigu.

Part 6 - Silver Players in popular leagues
When looking for effective methods, this has to be at the top.
Search Max Price > 5,000
and Silver
and a Popular League (I am going to use the BPL)
So, we are looking for PACE, and dribbling, and players you know sell, in a popular formation!
For example, we see an Oxlade Chamberlain, in 4-4-1-1 for current bid, at 4k!
We know he goes for 15k+ so we bid on him...........
For this method, you have to know the market, and look for PACE!
