Well,I will guide you that what I've done in the first couple of weeks of Fifa 15 to have an 186 rated squad (the maximum right now is 189). In order to do this I have opened packs as part of the process, but never received anything better than James Rodriguez who sold for around 60k.
There are many guides out there which have their own tricks to making money. I've got myself to a point where I'm making a minimum of 50k per day doing nothing but trading, I thought I should pass it on as there's piles of coins out there to claim if you know how.Videos embeded at the end which gives you pretty much the same information, but designed for those who prefer to watch than read.
Server outages
A great time to make loads of money is during server outages. This is the point (and it happens often) that the trading servers are intermittently down. This is a great time to pick up bargains and you can easily pick up some rare and non-rare golds at FIFA 15 coins. As you may or may not know, rare golds quick sell for a minimum of 600 coins and non-rares for 300 coins, so if you can pick any of these up for below that amount, you're making money. You're making it really quick too, unless it's a really good player, you should quick selland get straight back on the market. It's pointless putting them on the transfer market as you'll be waiting an hour to sell them and you can make much more than that if you don't wait the hour.
The problem with this method is that you'll have trouble connecting yourself and it will take multiple attempts to connect, you could also disconnect at any time so be very quick and bid like crazy.
You'll also find top players at great prices during outages. I picked up a Ribery card for 241k and later in the day when the searvers were fine, he was going for 285k+. The same can be done with consumables, however, they don't quick sell for more than you need to pay for them so you need to be sure you'll sell them later (when the servers are fine) for more than you bought them for. You can do it with staff though, the rare golds will generally quick sell in excess of 150 coins.
Buy Now at 59 minutes
This method is what most of the top traders use and there's some good money to be made. Pick a player, one that doesn't have many cards out there. Scroll through them until you get over 50 minutes remaining. These players are mainly players that have just been placed on the transfer market and is the place to pick up bargains. Use a minimum buy now price of 200 coins to filter out all the cards with no buy now price.
Now bear in mind that people have two reasons for placing players on the market, either they want to sell a card or they want to keep a card unless someone offer x amount of coins. Those who want to sell are the ones we're targeting. Many of them will want to sell a card quickly and put a relatively low BIN price on it. Very few people get to see these cards because of people hunting this card type down buying them up. This is a good method of earning coins, but it gets harder when the cards are more common because of the time it takes to get to 59 minutes. Players with fewer cards on the market are easier to manage.
Use hourly price fluctuations
I don't know if you're aware, but prices fluctuate wildly during the day. Using the first two methods should easily get you into 6 figures, this one will get you from 6 figures to 7 figures. I often make 40-50k per trade using this method.
Buy low and sell high
The price is defined by the seller, but the value is defined by the buyer.Lots of supply is a buyers market. Lots of demand is a sellers market.There are times during the day in which the prices are 10-20% cheaper than at other times of the day and you can use that to your advantage by buying and selling the same card over and over. I find the best time to buy is around 5AM GMT and the best time to sell is around 7PM GMT. Bear in mind that you pay 5% tax so be sure to cover that.You can buy some great cards at great prices if you time your bidding perfectly.
