EA FC 24 trading tips

FIFA veterans know the drill, but for the newcomers diving into EA FC 24, here's a crucial tip: a five percent tax is levied on every sale in the Transfer Market. The game takes a small cut whenever you list an item for sale. So, before you start counting your virtual coins, remember to factor in this tax. The profits look shinier than they actually are.

When it comes to buying players, you've got choices: bidding or using the Buy Now option. Opting for the immediate purchase saves time, but strategic bidding is your go-to move if you're eyeing a bargain. Keep an eye on valuable players entering the last minute of their listing with bids still below their usual value. Slap in your bid, and voila! You might snag a high-rated card for a fraction of its market price. Sure, it requires a bit of patience, but the payoff is worth the grind.

Good news for FIFA enthusiasts – the Bronze pack technique is alive and well in EA FC 24. It's a tried-and-true method of buying Premium Bronze Packs for 750 coins each from the store. The contents might seem humble, but they can translate into a tidy profit. Most players fetch a quick 200 coins on the market, but keep an eye out for those important to Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) – they could net you over 1,000 coins. Kits and club items might surprise you with their higher market values. Keep the Bronze pack hustle alive!

FAQs

What is the best strategy for FC 24?

The best strategy is to balance attack and defense. Use a formation like 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-1-2 to keep midfield control while still having attacking options. Don’t push your defenders too high, and let your midfielders press for the ball. Fast wingers and strikers are very effective, so using through balls and counterattacks is one of the safest ways to score.

How to win every game of FC 24?

You can’t guarantee a win every time, but you can improve your chances. Learn one or two main tactics and stick to them. Trigger runs, time through balls, and avoid rushing tackles. Keep possession when ahead, and don’t force risky plays. In Ultimate Team, upgrade players through evolutions and squad building instead of relying only on expensive stars.

How to trick in FC 24?

Use skill moves like step-overs, fake shots, and body feints to confuse defenders. A simple fake pass or fake shot can open space. Try lobbed or chipped through balls to surprise defenses that push high. Flicks and flair passes are also useful near the box when defenders expect normal passes.

How to get a really good team in FC 24?

Focus on chemistry when building squads. Match players by league or nationality for better performance. Complete Squad Building Challenges to unlock special players. Use evolutions to improve low-rated cards instead of always buying new ones. This way you can build a strong team without spending too many coins.

What is the strongest team on FC 24?

In standard modes, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich are among the strongest because they have world-class players in every position. In Ultimate Team, the strongest teams depend on chemistry and playstyle, but squads with top attackers, quick defenders, and balanced midfielders usually perform the best.
