fifa 18 web app and companion app has finally launched and it is possible to start playing the game already – a full week before launch with early access, free packs and gifts will be available to players who begin collecting coins and constructing squads before fifa 18 full game is officially released. as seasoned fut ultimate team players will be attempting to make as many fifa coins as possible, fifaah.com are thinking to help less experienced players with some useful trading tips on how to invest and grind coins fast from start.

for any serious ultimate team players, logging on to the web app has become an essential part of getting a head start on the competition and setting yourself up for instant success on release day, as it allows gamers to collect daily gifts, open returning user fut packs, build fifa 18 squads, use the transfer market, make fifa coins early. however, this year, the fifa 18 transfer market is not open as predicted, most of users are locked to access it on web app now, still suffering the big bug - "continue playing fut 18 on pc to unlock access to the transfer market." after played some games. ea sports even hasn’t give out a convincing reason, only a community manager officially posted a reply here:“if you don't currently have fut transfer market access on the web or companion app (when it launches) then you'll need to wait until the full game launches on the 26th/29th sept (depending on version purchased) so you can start playing fut on your console or pc.” if so, this is really unfair to the players who are stopped outside the transfer market, we do hope ea sports can fix this asap.

fifa 18 trading tips - how to make coins eearly during fifa 18 webstart

to make good investment on transfer market and earn more fifa 18 coins, we think you can follow below fifa 18 trading tips at the beginning of the game:

get login bonuses and daily gifts on web app

when you first load up the web app, you will receive loyalty packs and starter packs, the number of which is decided on the number of fut matches played in the previous edition of the game. you will also receive a daily gift, such as packs or coins, every day that you load up the app. they are a simple and free way to earn coins and new players. an excellent way to boost coin totals and assets in a club. the offers also expire every day at midnight with a new one available after that, so make sure to login every day to claim your gift!

open user packs / starter packs / daily gift

open all returning user packs / starter packs and sell all players and items that are less likely to increase in value upon the official release. list items on 1 hour listing cycles and keep relisting until they sell. open every fut web app daily gift, these offer free fifa 18 coins!

don't open packs with fifa coins during webstart

we understand it’s fun, but it’s not advised to open fifa 18 packs with fifa coins during early access webstart. fut coins during webstart are likely gold dust, you need to make shrewd investments and build your team as solidly and quickly as possible. a great team during webstart will set you up for the entirity of fifa 18. this helps us build our team(s) every single year, by putting in a solid day or 2 of trading it will really make a difference!

catalogue items – coins bonuses

the items which you can unlock in the catalogue which will make you coins are kits, balls, coins boosts, contracts and to increase the size of your transfer list. so for those with a lot of easfc credits, first thing's first, head over to the ea fc catalogue and buy every reward and bonus you can find (you will be able to begin this during 10 hours early access game play via ea access). click in the right analogue stick (or whatever it says in the top right of the screen) and you’ll see the ea fc catalog in fifa 18. from here you can use another form of currency (earned by just playing fifa) to buy fifa coin boosts for use in ultimate team. these boosts will mean you’ll earn an extra load of fifa coins while the boosts are active. buy everything else (such as kits and badges) you can sell on in the ultimate team transfer market. you can also complete starter objectives which reward coins and the like.

bronze pack trading method

as fun as opening packs is, coins are hard to come by during this initial window and should be treasured and used wisely. the only exception is the strategy of buying 400-coin bronze packs and selling the contents for an overall profit, which some players have had success with.

although it is generally not advised to open packs during the web-app phase, the bronze pack method will fill your club with player and consumables that will be sell-able eventually. open a 400 coin bronze pack and list the entire contents straight on the market, save the unsold items in your club until a relevant sbc comes around, where you should then be able to list it above its average price for some profit. remember you only actually need two items from the pack to sell at lowest buy now price to break even on a pack with this method.

invest non-rare gold players, rare silvers

for the launch of the official game, most managers will want to have a full 100 chemistry team ready to jump straight into some games. however, due to most managers not having many coins they will look for cheaper players to fill their teams. this means that non-rare gold and rare silver cards will have a higher demand than usual during the web app phase, look for skill moves, weak-foot rating and speed - can often be picked up more cheaply than usual during the webstart period.

it is very easy to mass bid on non-rare golds and rare silvers that you can either use yourself or sell on for a bit of profit. in the transfer market set the buy now range to between 300 & 450 coins. once you’ve done that, bid on all players with high meta stats (such as pace or physical) or players from a popular league (e.g the premier league or laliga).

totw 1 in-forms are not effective

just to note that the previously popular fifa 18 totw 1 in-forms trading method is pretty risky. we’re choosing to steer clear of this method as prices fluctuate significantly and many more highly desirable in-forms are released shortly afterwards. we prefer not to tie up our coins for lengthy periods of time at the start of fifa 18. this method only really works if you have a very popular player in the first team of the week and doesn’t get another in-form for a long period of time afterwards.

rare kits and badges

some rare kits and badges will be listed cheap as many won’t realise. try to figure out which kits and badges other players will want and then mass bid or 59th minute them. you’ll be able to get an idea by the quantity listed when you search.

59 minutes method and bargains

this 59 minutes will work tenfold during fifa 18 webstart due to such little competition on the transfer market.

choose your filter preferences and scroll to the 59th minute of listings (such as the players who have been listed at a buy it now price well below their actual value). snap up the bargain buy now items rapidly. 1 hour is the most popular listing cycle and therefore where most bargains are found. of course, a lot of people will be doing the same thing so you need to be extremely quick to snaffle them up. no sooner have you bought them, list them again. trade, trade, trade is the key.

bin sniping

if you know of a popular card such as jordan lukaku, which is listed in high volume, try and bin snipe them. bin sniping is where you rapidly change the price to return listing results. you’ve obviously set the max buy now well below what the player sells for so 99% of the time you will get no listing results. however, when an item appears it means someone’s listed him really cheap, meaning you should purchase him instantly!

mass bidding

bid on as many items up until 1 hour as possible at a bid price that you feel you can make an easy 10-30% profit on. you’ll lose several auctions but you should also win many. adjust your profit margins accordingly to ensure your turnover of sold items is continuous.

sell, sell, sell

buy cheaper, sell higher now! if you've managed to get some great players on the cheap (as in, you’ve used the above calculation to confirm you’ll make a profit) then it’s best to flip these straight away.

make sure to set the buy-it-now price as average – then sit back and wait for bids to exceed that figure. remember, stay patient. don’t try and make huge profits on players – take your time and build up profit slowly. be persistent and avoid discarding items that can be sold for a higher price.

hold off on getting rid of those useless, untradeable bronze players you got in the starter park (more on that later!) and save up any contracts for later.

the goal for every card you buy is to make decent profit. ideally, you want to make at least 500 coins (after the 5% ea tax) on every transaction. every card you buy will not sell right away. the idea is to be persistent. list your cards every hour then keep re-listing until someone bites. you can also use your unwanted items to submit the first sbcs available. sell items around september 28th for maximum profits.

buy beasts and overpowered players for starter team

not only buy beasts and op players for your starter team, also can invest them to resell for more profits.

1. focus on your familiar league - pick a league you know a lot about and think like someone who is building a squad. your focus should be on popular common players who buyers will want to build their first team with.

2. buy beasts – the players who possess ridiculous strength, physicality, pace and 5* skills will always be in-demand on fifa. when buying up your first round of players, put your coins into players who pass the eye test. great stats = great profit. if a player has insane pace and good shooting stats for a striker, buy him. good pace and good passing for a cam, buy him. good pace (noticing a trend here?) and good defending for a cm, buy him. there are some cheap beasts, such as yannick bolasie will cost far less, but his pace (87) will make him in-demand – as he was at the start of last year’s game; new arsenal left-back sead kolasinac (80-rated overall, 89 physicality) should be relatively inexpensive.

3. buy overpower players - there are some players who perform well above their rating. take jack butland last year, the scourge of many attackers and probably the best premier league keeper despite his 82 rating. n’golo kante, similarly, quadrupled in price at the start of fifa 17. it's difficult to know which players will be op without playing the game though.  get know the possible best cheap fifa 18 stater teams here. 

that’s all the tips we sum up for all fifa fans, we hope you at least can earn enough fifa 18 coins to get a good start of your fut 18, good luck to everyone, now go have fun!
