Best and fastest way to earn FIFA 17 Coins
FUT coins, ever-controversial, are your main - if not only - way to acquire new player cards in FIFA 17 Ultimate Team. Affording you the ability to open packs, buy players outright on the Transfer Market, and even enter tournaments and challenges like the returning FUT Draft mode, acquiring and using FIFA coins is going to be a central part of what you do if you're getting into Ultimate Team. We know that there are four ways to earn FIFA coins in the game include Playing matches in Ultimate Team mode, Coin boosts, Completing weekly challenges and tournaments and Playing the Transfer Market. But which one is the best and fastest way to earn FIFA 17 Coins? Which one counts as 'best' really comes down to your own preferences as a player - would you rather play online matches, and earn coins a little slower, or spend hours playing the market, but earning coins at roughly twice the speed? Pay attention to the best way below.
Gameplay: 5,000 - 8,000 coins per hour
Matches, coins boosts, tournaments and rewards. It may sound a little uninventive, but the best way to earn coins that doesn't require you to pour hours into a virtual stock market is to simply play the game. There are caveats to that, of course, which make it much more efficient though:
First, you'll want to apply your coin boosts acquired through the EA Football Club (press R3, head to the catalogue, unlock more through playing more and levelling up). Then, head to the Online Leagues, and get cracking. Not only will you earn at least 600 coins for a win with the boost activated - which takes about fifteen minutes factoring in team management and annoying pause-spam from your defeated opponents - but you'll also be working toward further rewards with Division promoton and victory. Rewards there get into the low thousands, meaning that, if you play well, you can pick up several thousand coins per hour.
If you back yourself, the FUT Draft mode is another gameplay-based option, but with a 15,000 coin entry fee, you'll need to do sufficiently well to actually make the coins back (although you will pick up some packs along the way, too). Starting out, for instance, you won't have enough coins to mass-buy - playing games with the method above will earn you a decent amount relatively quickly (and easily), and you can then reinvest your earnings from those games into mass-buying, whilst playing more games to earn more.
