No Money Spent Advice

I'm running CFB25 NMS - minus the pre-order points. I wanted to share my strategy in hopes that it will help others, especially early on in the CUT cycle. 

I am building my team around cards that hold their value. How am I doing that? My investing in "rental" cards or BNDs only. I'm not going out and buying high end cards so early and even low end cards, I'm not unless they have a coin quicksell (i.e. Platinum cards). 

The 82 overall market is currently sitting close to 20k. I have *attempted* to attach a screenshot from overnight. I purchased 3 82 platinum cards for a total of 183k. Those 3 cards quicksell for 60k each (180k total) and so when I am finished or have better upgrades down the road, I can quicksell them and get pretty much all of my coins back. Whereas if you purchased a normal 82 overall it would cost 20k and the value would drop significantly over the next month. 

The downside to this is you have to have more coins to purchase upfront, but it saves your coin stack longterm. I have 2 LTDs that I've purchased. Ollie Gordon for 250k (quicksells for 175k - 75k rental for an 86 overall (for reference at the same position RB Chris Johnson is over 300k - so Gordon is a 1/4 of the price) and Roquan Smith for 290k (115k rental price) for reference Bradley Chubb is also 300k (so Smith is 1/3 of the price). 

If you can accumulate the coins by playing online and then build your team using "rental value" cards, it will save your coin stack longterm and set you up for success down the road. When you're finished with that player, you can quicksell him (or try to sell him for more than his quicksell value on the AH). Platinum cards obviously won't be useable for as long in the game cycle, but they are useable now. 

Again, just sharing for those who may not know or realize this and are trying to stay NMS... Hope it helps.

Update: It appears my image didnt upload - i'll upload it later when i get into the office.

Very helpful, thank you! Do you have a list of overalls and what they sell for?

So hypothetically, two separate 82 overalls could have a different quick sell value?

Nope all 82 overalls have the same quick sell. the platinum cards always quick sell for a set amount of coins, although the various cards for training sometimes sell for different training amounts if its like bnd or a few exceptions.

Good point about the ltd’s, if you have the coins, and especially with ltd’s being cheaper this year, using them as rentals to gaurentee you wither loose no coins or less coins At the least.

All 82’s quicksell for 60k. It’s also worth noting when looking for these on the AH, only core elite cards have platinum versions. 

Here is a link with all the quicksell values: https://www.u4gm.com/news/college-football/cfb-25-ultimate-team-quicksell-coins-training-values

You can also view the quicksell value of a card in game by comparing it to an item in your binder and it will list at the top the quicksell value (most cards list the training amount, plat or LTD cards list the coin amount)

Correct... you have to have the coins to do this - but it sets you up long-term to have more coins later in the game cycle and prevent your cards from losing their coin value and depreciating over time.

Is there a way to sort the auction house to just platinum players? Sorry for my ignorance... I still don't quite understand this whole card program thing. 

Also, do some cards sell for training and some sell for coins? Is that how it works?

Sorry for all of the questions and thank you!

There isn't a way to sort for them in the AH - you just have to look for the cards that have the coins on them (80-85 overalls is how i would filter down). 

90%+ of cards quicksell for training. The only ones that quicksell for coins are platinum cards (shown in above photo) and LTDs

Great post! I have been doing a similar thing with the plats since day 1 of early access and LTDs, Von felt fair at 310k for a splurge

Nice! I had a 81 RG plat card and found an 82 plat for 62k (2k rental). So quick sold my 81 and upgraded to the 82. Increases my team and value long term. 
 

I’ve been using these plat/LTDs as a coin back where they may not be in the top right corner, but I know they’re there
