How it works
Learn how to print a ranked trade list for your budget.
What is TCP in 30 seconds
The Coin Printer turns your coin budget and platform into a ranked trade list — cards to buy low and list for a steady premium. You fill your transfer list, leave listings running, and collect when lazy buyers pay for convenience.
Lazy listing: list popular cards slightly above average so convenience buyers pay a premium — then relist until they sell. Relist Reminder keeps that cadence for you.
Always trade in line with EA's Terms of Service. The Coin Printer is an educational market tool — you are responsible for how you use your Ultimate Team account.
1. Set Your Parameters
Configure your trading setup
What you enter
- Your trading budget (coins)
- The platform you are using (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC)
What TCP does behind the scenes
Once you press Generate, we score cards using:
- LBO / liquidity signals
- Sales volume
- Games played
- Market trends, popularity, and demand
- Price points that fit your budget
2. Understand Your Card List
Smart buying strategies
Each card includes:
- A max buy price — don't pay more than this amount
- A recommended sell price
- A recommended chem style when available
Chem Style tip
When TCP shows a recommended chem style, apply it before you list. Matching chem styles helps cards move and supports the suggested sell price.
The Goal
The aim is to fill your transfer list to 100 cards overall. Use cards that are in your budget that allow you to do this. If you are only listing 10-15 cards, it will not be enough to maximise the profits. You need to build towards a 100 card transfer list to make the millions of coins.
How to Buy:
You may not see cards at the prices suggested right away, this is because we are trying to buy the card at slightly under the market value, spend 1-2 minutes trying to snipe. Mass bidding at the suggested buy price is a great way to get more cards at the price we give. If you cannot get the card, move on, there will be easier targets.
This keeps your trading diversified and reduces risk while maintaining consistent profits.
3. Selling your cards
Maximize your profits
When listing cards, always use the suggested sell price from TCP.
What to expect
95% of the sales that will come through, will come in the final 5 minutes of their listing. So do not expect any players to sell instantly.
If you are only trading with a few players (1-10), do not expect to make big profit, or enough sales.
If you have a list of 10 for example, it is unlikely that all 10 will sell.This is why you need to build as big of a transfer list of players as possible, so that each time you re-list, you are getting maximum sales.
If a card doesn't sell right away:
- Simply relist it — many sales come through after a few listing windows.
- After several failed relists, reduce by about 2–5% (roughly 100–300 coins only on cheap cards) and keep relisting.
- If it still won't sell after many cycles and further cuts wipe your edge, quick sell and redeploy the coins — don't hold forever.
Selling windows
The best listing window is around 55 minutes before content (6pm UK). The market will move significantly by the time content drops, so buying early for upcoming SBCs and other content can help you sell more cards by the time it arrives. However, you should be re-listing as much as you can, we suggest using the companion app if you can.
Session cadence
About 20 minutes a day is enough. List, leave the app, and come back when Relist reminders fire — you don't need to camp the market.
Realistic expectations
Profits compound across many small listings, not one big flip. Clearing a full transfer list often takes a few sessions of relists. Regenerate when you've cleared most of the list or your budget has changed materially.
4. Rinse & Repeat
Scale your trading operation
Keep the engine running:
- Regenerate a new list with your updated coin balance
- Gradually move into slightly higher-value cards for bigger margins (but always maintain variety and quantity)
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lot of coins to use it?+
Not at all. The Coin Printer works with any budget. Enter your current balance and we'll rank trades you can actually afford.
Why do I need to select my platform?+
Console and PC price cards differently. Selecting yours means Printer ranks and Flip AI use the right prices for your system.
How do I know I'm making a profit?+
Each pick shows a buy price, sell price, and profit after EA's 5% tax. The margin on the card is the margin you keep if you follow the prices.
What's the difference between the Printer and Flip AI?+
The Printer builds a full transfer-list plan around your budget — volume lazy listing. Flip AI is a short board of opportunistic flips with a repeating price rhythm, confidence, and liquidity.
What is lazy listing?+
Lazy listing means listing popular cards at a slight premium and waiting for buyers who pay for convenience instead of sniping. Relist until they sell — that's the core TCP loop.
