Best Time to Buy

I am new to Ultimate Team, no money spent.

I hadn't spend any of my coins since the game came out, until last week - I decided to buy a few cards to round out the weak spots on my team (I use this site to check prices so that I don't overpay). I pulled a card in a pack that was better than one of the cards that I recently bought, so I went to auction the one I bought and noticed that it had lost a lot of its value in just 1 day. I am reluctant to buy more cards because of the market depreciation, but I also think that waiting for prices to go down can be pointless... 

What do y'all take into account when buying cards? How do you know if it's a good time to buy?

In my experience  :

166-100  - 5 Nattys NMS 

Prioritize your scheme vs anything.  Factor the price of LTD quicksells ($175 000) vs other cards. Even if you over pay on cards but it brings you wins its worth it. I bought a TE for 270k and 3 days later he was only 120k but we won two championships and he was a huge reason. Whole point of the game is to win and as a NMS player I get every coin matters but you're better to spend on key positions that make a difference FOR YOUR SCHEME AND PLAYSTYLE.

Lovejoy - 

I had Mark Andrews but he played terrible for me. I actually bought Lovejoy to flip because TE's were skyrocketing in price but as soon as I bought him people started posting for like 20k under what I paid. I use my TE heavily - more than WR. So I said I'll try him. Literally been worth every penny. Never has a open drop like Andrews did for me. Fast and good after catch. I'm a Ravens Fan so I wanted Andrews but Lovejoy for me is much better.

The day the promo drops of the specific player you’re trying to sell . I was selling my Devonta Smith today and had no idea the ICYMI dropped today , I was wondering why he didn’t sale the first hour bec I listed him as the cheapest when I put him up . Went back to look and he dropped from like 300k to 250k . He’s back on the rise now so I’m guessing around 2-5pm is the sweet spot to get them the cheapest .
