Finding a Players Price

Finding a players price is something that is very important when you are buying and selling players. You don't want to over pay or under sell. Now I'm sure most of you are saying "yeah, yeah, yeah, I know how to do this already". I can guarantee you that there will be some people that don't. Far too often do I see players loose money by putting players up for prices that are half of what the player is really worth. This could be easily changed if you had taken the time to read this post. There are two ways to do this and I will give you the pros and the cons of each method.

1. Using a Database


When I first started playing FIFA 12 this is how I appraised my players. Honestly, it didn't turn out too well because after about two months I still had a measly 10k. I would recommend using a database as a ROUGH estimate. When I say rough I mean ROUGH. At times there will be prices of players that are way under or over they're actual price. If the price on the database is less than the actual value, no big deal you just lose the bids, but if the database tells you that a player is worth 10k that's really worth 2k your in a tough spot.

Pros:
- Quickly Accessible
- Gives you a Good Estimate

Cons:
- NOT 100% Accurate
- Can be Glitchy at Times

2. Checking the Lowest BIN (Buy It Now)

This is my preferred method for checking prices. When trading, lowest BIN is your friend. You want to put your players up for the lowest BIN or one of the lowest BINs. All you have to do to find the lowest buy now is go to the auction search and enter the details of the player you are trying to find. In the maximum BIN area you are going to enter the price of the lowest BIN price. 



When you pull this search up you will find that Hernandez's lowest BIN is 1k. This means that you will be able to sell him at or around this price, it really depends on the formation.

Pros:
- As Accurate as You Can Get
- Memorize Prices/Players Quickly

Cons:
- Takes Time
- Isn't 100% Accurate if there is a Limited Supply of the Player

Overall, both methods are helpful in different ways. If you are quickly trying to put a bid on a player at the last second, you will probably want to use a database. If that's not the case then you should use the lowest BIN to appraise your players. I personally use a combination of both methods. Which one I use depends on what player I'm bidding on and whether or not I'm feeling lazy. Like I said before, I know most of you know this, but there are people out there that are still learning.
