Position Change Profit Method: Hidden FIFA 25 Trading Strategy

Position change trading is an underrated method that generates 500-3,000 coins profit per card with minimal risk. This guide reveals how to identify opportunities and maximize profits.

Understanding Position Changes

Position change consumables modify a player's position:

• LW ↔ LM: Wing flexibility
• CF ↔ ST: Forward adaptability
• CM ↔ CDM/CAM: Midfield variations
• CB ↔ RB/LB: Defensive options

Key insight: Same player, different position = different price

Why Position Changes Are Profitable

Chemistry Requirements

Players need specific positions for:

• Squad building challenges (SBCs)
• Weekend League formations
• Chemistry optimization
• Hybrid squad construction

Result: Some positions much more valuable than others

Market Inefficiency

Most traders don't:

• Check all position variations
• Apply position changes preemptively
• Understand position premium

Your advantage: Knowledge and preparation

Identifying Profitable Position Changes

High-Demand Positions

Most Valuable:

1. CF (expensive consumable + low supply)
2. CAM (central attacking demand)
3. CDM (defensive anchor role)
4. ST (striker premium)

Example:

• Same card as CAM: 25,000 coins
• Same card as CM: 18,000 coins
• Position change profit: 7,000 coins

Position Change Consumable Costs

Typical prices:

• Common changes (LW↔LM): 150-200 coins
• Medium changes (CM↔CAM): 300-500 coins
• Expensive changes (CF): 1,000-2,000 coins
• Icon position changes: 5,000-8,000 coins

Always factor consumable cost into profit

Position Change Method

Step 1: Research Phase

1. Pick a popular meta player
2. Check all available positions on FUTBIN
3. Note price differences between positions
4. Calculate potential profit

Profitable if: Price difference > (Consumable cost + 2,000 coins minimum profit)

Step 2: Purchase Phase

Buying Strategy:

• Buy player in cheaper position
• Buy required position change consumable
• Total investment = Player + Consumable

Example:

• Buy CM version: 15,000 coins
• Buy CM→CAM consumable: 400 coins
• Total investment: 15,400 coins

Step 3: Application Phase

Applying Position Change:

1. Go to Club > Consumables
2. Select position change
3. Apply to player
4. Confirm change

Time: 30 seconds

Step 4: Selling Phase

Listing Strategy:

• Check lowest BIN for new position
• List 500-1,000 coins below lowest BIN
• Use 1-hour listings
• Relist if needed

Expected sale time: 1-3 listings

3. Apply LW→LF (1,500 coins)

Total profit potential: 3,000-8,000 coins

Formation-Specific Trading

Capitalize on popular formations:

• 4-3-3 needs wingers (LW/RW premium)

Match position changes to meta formations

SBC Position Trading

When SBCs require specific positions:

• Position-changed cards spike
• Instant demand surge
• Quick 2x-3x profit

Example: SBC needs "1 CF" → CF consumables and CF players spike

Calculating Profits

Formula:

(Sell Price - EA Tax) - (Buy Price + Consumable Cost) = Net Profit

**Example:

• Buy CM: 20,000 coins
• Consumable: 400 coins
• Total investment: 20,400 coins
• Sell as CAM: 26,000 coins
• EA Tax (5%): 1,300 coins
• Net profit: 4,300 coins

Common Mistakes

Mistake 1: Ignoring Consumable Cost

Problem: Profit calculation without consumable Solution: Always add consumable to investment cost

Mistake 2: Expensive Positions

Problem: Buying expensive position first Solution: Always buy cheapest position available

Mistake 3: Slow-Selling Cards

Problem: Choosing low-demand players Solution: Focus on meta/popular cards only

Mistake 4: Wrong Consumable

Problem: Buying wrong position change Solution: Double-check required change before buying
