10/20/30 Bidding

What is 10/20/30 Bidding?

10/20/30 Bidding is a trading method through mass bids on special cards lower than the current/average price. This guide is related to the Mass Bidding guide, please check that out to know more about it, I’m just going to talk about the differences and key tricks in this guide. 

Usually this method has his peak around the December – April months due to the big amount of new special cards almost every week! 

How does it work?

This Trading Method has a base filter behind the whole concept which also gave the name for it. It’s the:

Special Card (you can still use this even with the new update, just move your stick to the right or left while selecting the rarity, webapp and companion app should have any problem)

Min. Bid: 10k

Max. Bid: 20k

Min. Bin: 30k

As you can see its 10/20/30 from top to bottom. This filter allows us to search specifically for special cards with bids between the 10k-20k area and no bin lower than 30k. Ideally, you find cards undervalued and just about to expire. You aim to make profit through bidding below the average or current prices. 

Ideally you can also mix this method with many other methods you learned in the other guides like Special Card Flipping or Tech Avion! The usual aimed sell time is straight after winning a bid. 

Finding deals

Finding the right deals can be the tricky part here. 

I personally found the most efficient way to really just check Futbin while searching the market. If possible, you can bid on a device and check the prices on a different device. That way you don’t lose much time switching around between multiple apps. I did it with console bidding and checking prices on my phone. 

The profit margins are different from card to card. Obviously, you aim to make the biggest profit as possible! You can also use some basic bidding tricks like bidding the last 3 seconds or bidding straight after the other. Another popular trick is to bid twice or 3 times back to back to make it look like there are multiple people bidding and the other bidding people leave the bidding war. 

Imo, if you can hit 5-10% profit consistently, it’s really solid! 

Filters I use

I’m going to share some of my private filters below, I used these since Fifa 18! You can try to find your own filters too, unique filters = less competition = higher success rate!

Glitched Market

There’s one little downside with this trading method sadly. The Fut Market sometimes glitches out and you don’t see the expiring cards like you should.

I’m writing this guide before the release of Fifa 21 so I’m not sure if we have the same bug again but we had this in Fifa 18, Fifa 19 and even in Fifa 20, I expect the same for Fifa 21. 

After setting up the filter and searching you sometimes see way less cards. These have like very weird expiring times. Something around 4 minutes then 20 minutes then 1h and 10 minutes and so on. Basically, bids which don’t expire that soon even though you should see 2-3 pages of cards expiring in under 2 minutes.

There’s a simple way to fix it! If you refresh the market a few times, it just goes away. You can do that with a new filter or you just spam comparing prices until it changes. 

Very annoying but that sadly happens. Many don’t know this trick and that’s why they call 10/20/30 the worst method ever.
