Best Trading Fodder for FIFA 23 Ultimate Team

In order to make coins fast through trading, you need to have a lot of hands-on experience. However, if you have the patience to wait for your investments to bear fruit, FIFA 23 Ultimate Team offers many things that will increase in value over time.

SBC ammo or Squad Building Challenge is your best bet. Many SBC solutions employ "popular cards" in this context. Recent popular leagues, countries, and positions with 83+ rated cards. These cards are cheap when there are few SBCs with squad rating criteria and the supply is high.

The trick is to buy these cards when they're cheap and then wait for EA to produce popular SBCs that require high-rated cards, driving up demand. The 84-rated Harry Maguire card in FIFA was initially available for 1500 coins, but by November, when the first Base Icon Upgrade SBC began, it was selling for 6,000 to 8,000 coins per card.

Choose a low-priced SBC fodder card (Muniain and Declan Rice, both rated 84, are nice options) and buy as many of them as you can afford if you don't mind waiting. You shouldn't put all your coins into these assets, as you'll need some for day-to-day spending. However, some experts recommend putting at least half of your coins into such investments.

Team of the Week (TOTWs) cards is another option. Team of the Week 1 player is a good choice if you have a lot of coins early on because they have the lowest card supply and will either disappear or sell quickly at their highest Buy It Now (BIN) price. A smart option is to invest in additional TOTWs at or near their discard price for SBCs.
