Alright, so here’s the lowdown on my quest for cheap beasts in FC 24. I’m talking cards that absolutely slap, but won’t break the bank – specifically, under 10k coins. It’s a grind, but totally doable if you play it smart.
First things first: The Hunt Begins
I started by hopping into Ultimate Team and just browsing the transfer market. Not gonna lie, it was a bit of a slog. So many overpriced players who are honestly not that good. I mean, come on, people are trying to sell average golds for crazy amounts!
- I filtered by league. Premier League is always inflated, so I mostly avoided it at first. Bundesliga, Serie A, and La Liga are where I started seeing some potential.
- Then I narrowed it down by position. I needed a solid CDM, and maybe a pacey winger. Those are usually the hardest to find cheap.
- Finally, the key filter: max price 10k. That’s where the real treasure hunt started.
Digging Deeper: Stats are King
Don’t just look at the overall rating! That’s a rookie mistake. You gotta dive into the individual stats. I was looking for players with:
- Pace: Gotta be quick, especially for wingers. At least 80+, ideally.
- Shooting: For strikers and attacking mids, finishing is crucial. Look for high stats in finishing, shot power, and long shots.
- Passing: Vision, crossing, short passing, long passing – all important, depending on the position.
- Dribbling: Agility, balance, reactions, ball control, dribbling – the whole package.
- Defending: Interceptions, standing tackle, sliding tackle – essential for defenders and CDMs.
- Physical: Strength, aggression, stamina, jumping – can’t be a pushover!
Sniping Deals: Timing is Everything
Finding a good player under 10k is one thing, actually buying them is another. People are constantly bidding, so you gotta be quick. Here’s my strategy:
- Bid early: If you see a card you like with a low starting bid, put in a bid right away. You might get lucky and win it for cheap.
- Watch the clock: The last few seconds are crucial. That’s when the bidding wars really heat up.
- Be patient: Don’t get into bidding wars that drive the price up. There are always more cards coming onto the market. If you miss one, just wait for the next.
- Target off-peak hours: More people are online during peak hours, which means more competition. Try searching late at night or early in the morning when there are fewer people bidding.
My Finds: A Few Standout Players
I managed to snag a few absolute bargains during my search. Here are a couple that really stood out:
- CDM from Bundesliga: I picked up a CDM with insane defending stats and decent physical. He’s a rock in midfield. Cost me around 8k.
- Winger from Serie A: Found a super pacey winger with good dribbling and decent shooting. He’s been tearing it up on the wing. Got him for just under 10k.
Final Thoughts: It’s Worth the Effort
It takes time and effort, but finding cheap, effective players in FC 24 is totally worth it. It’s way more satisfying than just buying the most expensive players. Plus, it forces you to be creative with your team building.
So, get out there, start searching, and good luck finding your own hidden gems!
