How to Make Coins Every Day in EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team
If you want to stay rich in EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team, it's not about luck - it's about timing. The top traders and pro players don't just rely on pack luck; they master the weekly market rhythm. By understanding when to buy, sell, and invest, you can earn thousands of EA FC 26 Coins every single day without ever opening your wallet.
Here's a complete day-by-day breakdown of how to make coins in FC 26 Ultimate Team every day of the week, from weekend flips to weekday fodder spikes.
Saturday - Team of the Week (TOTW) Investments
Saturday is one of the best days to start building your coin foundation for the week ahead. By this time, the market is calm after the Friday promo hype, and many players are panic-selling cards to fund their new packs or teams. This makes it a perfect time to invest in TOTW (Team of the Week) cards.
TOTW items tend to be cheapest on weekends since players flood the market with pack-pulled cards from ongoing promos. Look for 83-87 rated TOTW players, especially from popular leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A) with good positions like CB, CM, and ST.
These cards often rise in value when Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) require in-form players midweek. Even small investments can pay off - buying a TOTW for 12,000-14,000 coins on Saturday can easily sell for 18,000-22,000 by Wednesday or Thursday.
Pro tip: Focus on TOTWs with good nationality and chemistry links. They're far more likely to spike in price when SBCs drop.
Sunday - Buy During Squad Battle Rewards
Sunday is a "buy day." Every Sunday, Squad Battle Rewards are released, flooding the market with supply. Thousands of casual players open their packs and immediately sell everything - even cards that would normally sell for more during the week.
This temporary oversupply leads to market dips, especially for fodder cards, meta golds, and chemistry players. It's the perfect time to stock up for upcoming SBCs or flips later in the week.
Here's how to capitalize:
Target 83-85 rated fodder: These cards are cheap on Sunday and rise steadily as new SBCs are released.
Buy meta gold cards: Cards like fast full-backs, OP strikers, and popular midfielders are often undervalued during this time.
Prepare for leaks: If there are reliable leaks for Monday SBCs, use Sunday to pre-invest.
Pro tip: Don't overspend - diversify your purchases across multiple cards rather than all-in on one player. This reduces your risk and ensures consistent profits.
Monday - SBC Leak Investments
Monday is when savvy traders strike early. The FC 26 community thrives on leaks - and if you know where to look (social media or reliable community sources), you can invest ahead of the crowd.
When leaks suggest an upcoming Player SBC (like a popular striker or special card), related fodder and chemistry players skyrocket in value.
For example:
If a leaked SBC requires an 86-rated squad with a TOTW, both TOTWs and 86-rated golds will surge.
If it's a nationality-based SBC, players from that nation often double in price overnight.
You can use Monday morning to grab these cards before the leak becomes public or early after it breaks. Timing here can net you profits within hours.
Pro tip: Always keep a few high-rated fodder cards (87-89) in your club. They rise frequently during unexpected SBC releases.
Tuesday - The Best Day to Sell
Tuesday is sell day for most traders. By now, weekend investors are offloading cards, and SBCs have often started draining fodder from the market. It's the sweet spot between Sunday's supply surge and Thursday's Division Rivals chaos.
If you bought TOTWs or fodder on the weekend, Tuesday is usually when you can sell for 20-30% profit. Many traders also sell their meta golds on Tuesday night, as players build squads for Rivals and Weekend League qualifiers.
Pro tip: Use the "lazy buyer" technique. List cards slightly above market value (1,000-2,000 coins more). Players rushing to finish SBCs often buy without comparing prices, especially late at night.
Wednesday - Fodder Market Spikes
Wednesday is known for fodder spikes, thanks to midweek SBCs and Objectives. EA often drops upgrade packs, Icon SBCs, or 83x10 repeatable challenges, all of which cause sudden demand for high-rated cards.
If you invested in 83-88 rated players earlier in the week, this is your time to cash in. The market typically rises sharply within hours of these releases, and you can flip cards for easy gains.
Example:
An 85-rated player bought for 6,000 coins on Sunday could sell for 9,000-10,000 on Wednesday evening.
TOTWs bought on Saturday for 13,000 might hit 20,000-22,000.
Pro tip: Always check Futbin's "Market Index" or in-game prices before selling. You don't want to undercut too early during a market rise.
Thursday - Division Rivals & Marquee Matchups
Thursday morning is reward chaos, when Division Rivals rewards drop and players receive packs and coins. This momentary flood of cards can temporarily dip prices - but it also creates buying and flipping opportunities.
Focus on:
Buying cheap fodder during reward hours (1-2 hours post-drop)
Selling during Marquee Matchups SBC release later in the day, when prices bounce back
Marquee Matchups often drive demand for specific leagues or nations, so cards tied to those requirements can skyrocket in minutes.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on leaked Marquee Matchups - buying players from featured clubs (like Real Madrid, Liverpool, or PSG) ahead of time can earn huge profits by Thursday evening.
Friday - Promo Day Flips
Friday is the most volatile - and most profitable - day of the week. EA releases new Promos (like Road to the Knockouts, Rulebreakers, or Future Stars), creating massive market swings.
During the first hour after promo packs go live, the market crashes as everyone panic-sells cards to open packs. Smart traders buy meta cards during the crash and sell them later that night or Saturday morning once prices stabilize.
Friday is also perfect for short-term flips - sniping underpriced promo cards or investing in fodder that drops in price but will rebound midweek.
Pro tip: Track live prices with Futbin or Futwiz during the promo release window. A few well-timed snipes during the chaos can make tens of thousands of coins within minutes.
Final Thoughts
Making FIFA 26Coins in EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team isn't about luck - it's about rhythm. Each day of the week brings a unique market opportunity, from TOTW flips to promo crashes. The key is consistency: buy low when everyone's selling, and sell high when demand peaks.
By following this daily strategy, you can turn every day into a coin-making opportunity. Whether you're saving up for your dream ICON or just want to dominate Rivals with the best squad possible, mastering the weekly market cycle is your path to financial freedom in FC 26 Ultimate Team.
