Of the above there are, really, only two ways to effectively earn coins. Which one counts as ‘best’ really comes down to your own preferences as a player – would you rather play online matches (in the most efficient way possible, explained below), and earn coins a little slower, or spend hours playing the market, but earning coins at roughly twice the speed?
Whatever the preference, these are the two best ways to earn FIFA coins in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team:
Gameplay: 4,000 – 8,000 coins per hour
Matches, coins boosts, rewards and tournaments. It may sound a little uninventive, but the best way to earn coins that doesn’t require you to pour hours into a virtual stock market is to simply play the game. There are caveats to that, of course, which make it much more efficient:
Transfer Market: 10,000+ coins per hour.
You’ll want to apply your coin boosts acquired through the EA Football Club (press R3, head to the catalogue, unlock more through playing more and levelling up).
Head to the Online Leagues, and get cracking. Not only will you earn at least 600 coins for a win with the boost activated – which takes about fifteen minutes factoring in team management and annoying pause-spam from your defeated opponents – but you’ll also be working toward further rewards with Division promoton and victory. Rewards there get into the low thousands, meaning that, if you play well, you can pick up several thousand coins per hour
If you back yourself, the FUT Draft mode is another gameplay-based option, but with a 15,000 coin entry fee, you’ll need to do sufficiently well to actually make the coins back (although you will pick up some packs along the way, too).
Alright fine, if you insist on spending none of your time in Ultimate Team actually playing FIFA, here’s how you can earn decidedly more coins than any other method, free of charge, at a decent speed. Mass bidding is the best method specifically, here’s how to do it:

Well, deduct the EA Tax (5 per cent, so multiply the buy-it-now average by 0.95 to find the after-tax price) and then aim for a couple of hundred coins below it.
Get bidding – Your aim now is to bid below the average buy-it-now price (with the EA tax factored in too), by just a couple of hundred coins differences at most.
Find a player who’s in-demand, but cheap enough to buy en masse within your current budget – Our advice is Premier League or La Liga players, and those who play in a rarely-filled position like right or left back, or centre forward. You’re looking for a player whose demand exceeds the supply, but not to such an extent that you’re forking out several million on a Team of the Year Suárez.
Calculate the amount you ‘d need to buy it for, if you were going to make a profit by selling it for the average buy-it-now price. Well, deduct the EA Tax (5 per cent, so multiply the buy-it-now average by 0.95 to find the after-tax price) and then aim for a couple of hundred coins below it.
Get bidding – Your aim now is to bid below the average buy-it-now price (with the EA tax factored in too), by just a couple of hundred coins differences at most. Remember, this is all about your profit margins; you’ll need to buy and then re-sell at a least a couple of hundred coins’ profit each time.
Sell sell – Assuming you got lucky and won a few cheapos, it’s time to immediately flip them on the market. Set the listing for one hour and the buy-it-now price as dead on the average if you’re staying with the game and want to re-invest your earnings right away. If you’re happy to wait, set it for four or more hours and a few hundred over the average (not too far over though, or you won’t sell it and will waste your time).
After a lot of pouring over stats, attributes, and little green chevrons by the community, EA Sports has finally revealed some numbers – we explain how it all works below in our guide to how to increase Chemistry in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team.
The benefits and costs of getting Chemistry right or wrong are huge. How does Chemistry actually work, what affects it, and how do you combine Individual Chemistry, Team Chemistry, and Chemistry Styles to get these massively boosted FUT players?
