The FC 26 coin market is absolutely wild right now, and player prices on the transfer market are fluctuating crazy fast. This is mostly due to the Festival of Football, other major promos, and EA recently announcing a permanent price cut for the base game, which brought in a ton of new players.
Why is the coin market changing so much?
Domino Effect from the Token System
During this FoF promo, most people have been grinding plenty of tokens through Rivals, Champions, Rush, and Squad Battles. You can redeem these in the token shop for high tier packs. Since these packs drop meta player cards, demand for high rated gold players has cratered, causing a massive market crash across the board.
World Cup Hype Teams and Stars
The FIFA World Cup always hypes up specific teams and players, which drives up their popularity in FC 26. Their market prices skyrocket because of this, further messing up the transfer market balance.
FC 27 Coming Soon
Most players always want the shiny new thing. With FC 27 around the corner, people are starting to ditch FC 26. Everyone is panic selling their expensive cards to cash out for coins, which heavily impacts market trends.
How to keep your coins from losing value?
FC 26 is in its endgame now. Once this current hype dies down, the influx of new players will dry up, meaning your account assets will slowly lose value. It is inevitable, but you can use this phase to make big profit on the transfer market to cushion the blow before the final coin devaluation hits.
