Recently EA has been adding new pack types to the traditional lightning round calendar, including the 85+ Star Player Pack and the 86+ version. Both provide six rare gold cards with a guaranteed 85+ or 86+ main card respectively, and the pack odds for these were among the best during Team of the Year. That didn17;t count for much given the incredible rarity of TOTY cards, but for a more accessible promo like Future Stars, it should offer good opportunities to get your hands on at least one of the low- to mid-tier additions.
Rather than lining EA17;s coffers, though, you might prefer to feather your own virtual nest by dabbling in some opportune trading. Every promo creates moments of heavy supply, which lower the prices of fodder cards temporarily, so our advice 12; if you have the patience for it 12; would always be to sit on your apps and console transfer markets sniping those in-demand fodder cards. Do it whenever lightning rounds are fresh out of the blocks and supply hots up.
Buying up a bunch of 87-rated rare golds at cheap prices and then flipping them half an hour later is always a good way to top up the coin balance. Mass bidding on 84s is also a good tactic, as those are packed most frequently and will often slip through at low bid prices an hour after a lightning round has commenced when hundreds of auctions end simultaneously.
