Chemistry Style Flipping
Added 2021-09-08 11:39:00 +0000 UTCWhat is Chemistry Style Flipping
Very similar to the Position Change Method, you aim to get cards at a low/average price with an applied Chemistry Style which adds more value to the card. Very effective during the early stages to build up some quick coins without much market theory.
As an example, casual players try to avoid paying 5k for a Hunter so they look for the card with Hunter already applied. They find the 10k with the hunter at 14k. Meanwhile, the Trader just made ~3.5k profit through the Chem Style Method.
The best chem styles for this method are Hunter and Shadows, these can add up to 5-8k to a card! Anchor, Hawk, or even Sniper can also be useful.
Gold Cards/Early Stages
This method is a perfect grind method for the early stages of the game! I would focus on Gold Cards between 5k-40k, around these prices you can find a few meta cards and the ROI is still great enough to make some solid coins.
You ideally look for very fast and short-term flips with this method. It should work the whole first 2-8 weeks of FIFA. There’s just the risk of a down-trending market but as long as you aim to get solid deals it's still worth it. This will work even better on a rising market as chem styles should also keep rising!
And it doesn’t matter how you get the cards. You can set up some filters like Attacker – Hunter – Premier League + your price range and look for a quick decent deal! Or you just cycle through different cards or even sniping for 1-2h if you find a consistent supply for a specific card. There isn’t any limit or right way, you can use any trick you want as long as you aim for the base idea of Chemistry Style Flipping.
Another tip from my side, the past years I mainly hit this method during times when there was a reason to play as the sales go faster through and you always catch a few people selling early. That can be between Friday and Sunday through the WL or it can be on a Friday evening when people grind the weekly objectives with specific cards!
As always, keep an eye on the daily updates, I will keep you updated on the current market as much as I can! Its also recommended to avoid holding cards through any 6 pm supply as that can reduce the card prices.
Later Stages
In general, this trading method should work for the first 3-6 months, you just have to move around different cards and find the new sweet spots for profit.
But sadly, there’s also the consistent supply and more people applying chem styles to the same cards and the market gets saturated. At that point, it makes sense to move away from Gold cards and start doing Tech Avion, a method I will explain in later guides.
Chemistry Styles still add value to cards but it’s just less and it should be used as a bonus while doing other methods. As an example, you can do some special card flipping and add 2-3k on a 100k if the card has a Hunter, but the Hunter alone won’t make a profit!
