These live cards are based on the performances of real-life football players in upcoming matches.

FC 24 Fantasy Market Crash - What Will Happen During the FC 24 Fantasy Promo
The launch of any major promo in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team usually results in a significant market crash. More packs will be opened which increases the supply of cards on the market. At the same time, demand drops as players focus on getting the new promo items. So prices tend to plummet across the board.
- High-rated fodder cards like 85-88 rated players will see the largest drops, usually 30-50% less than pre-promo prices. These are popular for SBC solutions.
- Popular meta gold cards over 90k are at risk of 20-30% cuts. They become easier to fit teams while supply increases.
- Icons may dip 10-15% as traders cash in regular cards. Less steep due to their scarcity.
- Leaked promo players hold value best in the short term due to hype before also declining.
- Lower rated meta gold cards under 10k may rise modestly due to SBC supply needs before correcting.
- High-tier TOTWs could drop up to 40% initially before bouncing back over a week.
- Silver cards under 800 coins and bronzes under 500 are likely to increase in the short term and stabilize higher long-term.
How to Prepare for the FC 24 Fantasy FC Promo?
- Invest 89s: We got big SBCs on the way which means it's time to invest in fodder. 89s are 29K to 30K, they're the some of the cheapest they've been in a long time. Same with 88s, they're actually up a little bit from where they were like 20,000 at their cheapest.
- Sell Tradable Items: Consider selling any tradable items in your club a few days before the promo to avoid potential losses during the market crash.
- Stock Up on Consumables: It's a good idea to stock up on consumables such as contracts, fitness cards, and chemistry styles to complete upgrades during the promo.
- Save Coins and FIFA Points: Save your coins and FIFA Points to invest in promo packs during the FC 24 Fantasy Promo. These packs often contain valuable players and items.
- Consider Meta Cards: During the market crash, popular meta cards may experience a price slump. Consider buying these cards as they have the potential to rebound in value.
- Complete Cheap SBCs: Keep an eye on the SBC tab during the promo. Complete cheap SBCs that provide tradable packs to increase your chances of packing valuable players.
- Take Advantage of Crash Matches: During the market crash, look out for deals and opportunities to make coins through trading during crash matches on Sunday/Monday.
