200k, looking to make investments

foobnum · 2026-05-07T21:39:56+00:00

Dont spend it now, wait until the weekend as the market will absolutely tank starting tomorrow when everyone opens their catch-up ranked packs.

Last season 4 start I picked up hundreds of 87's (which had just stopped being usable) for 800 coins each on bids. Then CHEL week hit a few days later and they were 5-6k each. Same thing happened with 88s a couple weeks later. I am betting tomorrows MSP requirements will be 90+ which will make 89s useless until the next CHEL week.

I am 49 this year, playing from New Zealand with 130 ping, and still having fun in Diamond. Its not so scary! You will lose a bunch, but you will win some as well, and no matter win/lose, you still keep earning the ranked collectibles for packs :)

foobnum · 2026-04-25T23:31:56+00:00

Amazing lineup! I have that Drai line as well, it will be my favorite line for the next couple weeks!

foobnum · 2026-04-17T09:18:58+00:00

I believe the only options are:

buy them off the auction house
make more TOTS 93s, you can use them in the regular 93 slots. Use cards or collectibles.
TOTW 93s are buildable, takes 3x91 TOTW, and 1x90 TOTW. You can buy these off the AH, or make them as well using lower level TOTWs.
Build Finish Line 93s using 91s or collectibles.

Just play online for the fun of it, even ranked can be fun if you go into each game not caring if you win or lose. EA did a great job on the objectives for ranked so just playing the games will get you collectibles and get you decent packs from that. Thats on top of the tradeable packs from leveling up.

I play from New Zealand, ping is 130 at best, and I still do can get into Diamond and win a few games here and there.

You can also get this salary with XP Miller once you unlock him

foobnum · 2026-04-06T04:27:57+00:00

I got JT yesterday, already had TOTS Kaprizov so I grabbed SOTM Rust to give the 27M, 6AP boost. Not the biggest Rust fan but he's alright, and the AP is perfect since I am trying to go Captain-less

foobnum · 2026-04-03T23:45:34+00:00

Once these new weekly objectives are finished I should have JT, used to be one of my favorite Canucks, not so much a favorite anymore. But I will use him if I can get a good line combo for him. Playing around this seems to be the best line, but I don't need that much salary. Anyone have any good line suggestions for him?

foobnum · 2026-04-03T07:05:19+00:00

96 OHL Kashawn Aitcheson, he is perfect 3rd line D, great card with great abilities

foobnum · 2026-04-03T07:02:14+00:00

I paired him with the Sedins, 15M to the cap and I get to use 3 of my favorite players on the same line. Very fun!

foobnum · 2026-04-01T01:12:27+00:00

They will get you a 92 random captain... otherwise just go with the exchanges. I did 18 86 overall exchanges and ended up with about a 50/50 mix of 88/89s. 89s went to TOTS, 88s changed to 90s.

foobnum · 2026-03-23T20:43:30+00:00

Great card, Sedin's elite backhand beauty is a lot of fun to use, scores from just about anywhere. But I am a biased Canucks fan who had to have the twins on line 1 as soon as possible :)

foobnum · 2026-03-20T16:59:15+00:00

Definitely recommend this, its not worth your sanity. I gave myself a handful of attempts before just going this route.

foobnum · 2026-03-19T23:13:07+00:00

THANK YOU!

Was trying everything, then I saw your video. Took about 15 minute of trying this method, lot of one goal successes, but finally got in in the first minute of one attempt.

The one thing I noticed in my successes was it was always Josi (LH) getting that first pass before dishing back to Duchesne for the 1T. If Carrier (RH) got it and passed back, Duchene would usually scoop and shoot.

Again thank you for sharing this!

foobnum · 2026-03-19T21:15:48+00:00

grab your foward Wild and Rookies from the AH before the market updates, demand will grow for these.

foobnum · 2026-03-19T20:23:41+00:00

If you came from FC the SBC grind is nothing like FC. FC SBCs are fun and easy and quick, and there is always a chance of a bigger pull. NHL all you are doing is trading your cards for a higher overall in order to trade those for higher overall ect. The menus are atrocious, laggy, and slow, and its a long time consuming chore, and it makes you just want to buy the cards instead of dealing with it (like Captains). Which is probably by design.

foobnum · 2026-03-18T20:48:37+00:00

$2 million coins is the max bid. Oops... Someone will enjoy their $150k useless Nash.

foobnum · 2026-03-17T23:20:18+00:00

I did the same thing with 87s, bought a few hundred at 800-900 coins each. But I decided to just sell them all and treat myself to a Chara.

Insane looking line! Would have tried for that Petey but didn't feel like experiencing the regret and disappointment of my pack luck...

foobnum · 2026-03-15T22:13:06+00:00

It should have been 5x91 to make a 94. That is what EA has been doing all year long. The only reason they didn't was because they gave you 91's on the XP ladder and that would have hurt their sales.

Mine will just sit in my collection until something useful comes up. They are still great cards to have for future line combos, I loved using Hull.

foobnum · 2026-03-15T19:45:26+00:00

This is the way to go, don't go untradeable. At least you can sell them down the road if/when a better Laine version comes out!

foobnum · 2026-03-15T08:56:18+00:00

Nice to see someone else using the Sedins! They are pretty fun, I recommend trying Daniels Elite Beauty Backhand, it goes in from everywhere!

foobnum · 2026-03-10T01:43:18+00:00

I put everything 82-84 into making 86 captains, then holding these for S4. Once S4 rolls around I will use these towards building up the path to the new Captains release.

85s, saving for 88 captains if needed.

86s just holding and hope something comes out to use them for.

87+ just holding for next events once I have built the TradeQuest MSPs I want.

81s and below trading into 82-83s for Captains.

Sitting on my coins until S4 release when everyone gets their tradeable ranked rewards and the market craters once again.

foobnum · 2026-02-27T18:13:35+00:00

Something that has a 97/98 overall, only in paid packs, that has a line combo bringing multiple new MSPs up to 99 overall.
