I made it to 10 million coins this year quite late into FUT but using all the experience I gained, and as I shan't be buying players for teams I shouldn't lose as many coins. So basically this is a thread that I will use to document my progress from 0 --> 10,000,000c.

Day 1
9k + Cavani

Day 2
18k + Cavani

Day 3
13k + Cavani, Ramos, Pepe, Mascherano, McCarthy

Day 4
8k + Cavani, Ramos, Pepe, Mascherano, McCarthy, Manoel, Marquinhos, Miranda, Buffon

Day 5
2k + Cavani, Ramos, Pepe x2, Mascherano, McCarthy, Manoel, Marquinhos, Miranda, Buffon, Aubameyang, Ramsey's, Sigurdsson's

Day 6
16k + Cavani, Ramos, Pepe x2, Mascherano, McCarthy, Manoel, Marquinhos, Miranda, Buffon, Aubameyang, Ramsey's, Sigurdsson's

Day 7
800c + IF Ramsey, Cavani, Ramos, Pepe x2, Mascherano, McCarthy, Manoel, Marquinhos, Miranda, Buffon, Aubameyang, Ramsey's, Sigurdsson's

Day 8
6k + 2x IF Ramsey, Cavani, Ramos, Pepe x2, Mascherano, McCarthy, Manoel, Marquinhos, Miranda, Buffon, Aubameyang, Ramsey's, Sigurdsson's, Drogba

Day 9
75k + 2x IF Ramsey, Ramos, Pepe x2, Mascherano, McCarthy, Manoel, Marquinhos, Miranda, Buffon, Aubameyang, Ramsey's, Sigurdsson's,

lewis, that is an interesting number to reach... i can never make it, or even get close to...
tops i hv made was 2.5 M and i spent a lot of money on packs, got some players and sold them...

so you are going to try to reach 10M simply by just trading?

in any case, good luck with that...

I made it this year only spending £25 on packs on release and I got nothing in them so I pretty much made 10M by trading (and the 300-400k match coins I got.) And you can't make 10M solely by trading you need to invest heavily in IFs, capitalise on player hype, e.g. when Falcao scored 5 goals in a game last year his price rose 10k and I made 150k of him in the space of 10mins. It is difficult and you have to invest a lot of time an have a bit of luck but it is possible.

i see what you mean... of course to play that big, you hv to have a lot of coins, that is how you can invest on IFs....
from the very start, you hv to dedicate time and effort on it. i tried 3 years ago when started, but then i realized, i was just trading not playing any games, then said whats the point ? now i try to do a bit of both, more balanced and less time consuming...

I really can't be bothered with trading. Did a lot for the 1st 4mths on 12 but got burned out on it. Ended up with just as much coin this year purely thru team turnover. I have 8 or so bronze teams atm but I've built 98 teams of various levels throughout the year, that's quite a lot of players sold. There's not much you can't do with 700k, teams worth more than that are, ahem, prettier than they are effective it seems.... On 12 I could afford to try Ronaldo and Messi at different points. This year was a little different but I wasn't fussed. Having them on 12 brought a stigma that I didn't enjoy.
Fair play to you Lewis, for making such a success of it. I'll beg off you later

I think you have to really enjoy trading to be successful at it and I do really enjoy it. And as I'm not playing any games this year I have nothing to get in the way of it. And Cuz if you're on PS3 or anyone for that matter then the only thing I would do with the coins is sell them so once I have enough to fund a PS4/xbox 1 and new TV... I will have nothing to do with them so I shall be giving them to you lovely people

I'm with Cuz... in that I didn't reach a million.

But then I only started in January, and even then didn't have a clue what I was doing.
And I stopped around June time, at about 600k.

Still don't really have a clue what I am doing

Don't follow all the news and gossip - don't do you tube, or forums (this one aside).

I just pick a selection of players and buy and sell them for profit.

I find the more expensive players harder to make profit on, because you rely on the market rises, rather than numpties who overpay.
The cheaper the players the more willing people are to just buy it at 'whatever price'.
People generally research IF pricing, and buy the cheapest on the market, because they are spending more.
So it's all about predicting the market with the premium players...

Back playing Football Manager again now. Forgotten how damned addictive it is.

Morning Lewis...

Anything you need? Cup of tea? Your slippers? A paper?...

You know where I am...

Cheers bud.

gladiatorrrrrr · « **Reply #11 on:** September 13, 2013, 08:03:11 pm »

will do some trading. Made a Million in 6 weeks in the beginning and made some easy coins later on.

Buyinga PS4 from the coins would be a nice challenge tho....

at that time the conversion rate will be 10 euro per 100K .....so 4M coins to buy a PS4 and i need 500K to fund some bronze sqauds and 1 or 2 OP squads for divisions. Should be doable!

guest15 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 13, 2013, 08:59:46 pm »

glad, challleeengggeee accepted...

trying to buy ps4 thru game coins...

gladiatorrrrrr · « **Reply #13 on:** September 13, 2013, 09:08:30 pm »

yeah let's do it. Think I will invest 50 euro in packs so I need to make 4,5M to get the PS4 + my 50 euro back. But that can accelerate the coinage a lot

guest15 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 13, 2013, 09:10:24 pm »

am doing the same, 50 eur from the sales i hv made...
what will you do ? open packs with all that 50 in one go
