Scream cards still worth investing?

Looks like all the ones that would become high rated are already basically at their peak price from last time they got boosted. Have about a mil to dump into investments after the weekend but don't see much ROI at this point, and a lot of risk if for some reason they don't get boosted, as the market would likely crash on these cards then.

Anyone have a different view?

    no they are getting boosted multiple times troughout the year (mostly @ fullmoons i guess) and u cant get them anymore so the stock is getting smaller and smaller and the demand is getting bigger and bigger. especially when they are boosted and ppl are doing sbcs.

    so they are not going to "crash" :)

    They are barely cheaper than others of their future rating. Avoid.

    @DaveSaves

    - 10k difference to 88 cards. And they offer good links.. For example Deulofeu perfect link to Iniesta and Pique who happen to be cheapest 87 rated cards.. Also link to Bartra
    - 15k difference between cheapest 89 and cheapest 89 Scream (Kovacik) who gets strong link to the cheapest 90 rated card (Kroos)
    - Sturridge 16k cheaper than the cheapest 90 rated card and gets strong link to 87 rated scream Crouch
    - Ribery and Özil are way cheaper than the other as high rated players. And they offer good links

    And they are no longer in packs.. So unless EA decides not to boost them monthly.. Do not avoid in my opinnion.

    Alot of people obviously investing in these. But if you think about it. Whats the cheapest 90 you can get? that is Kroos at around 65k Everyone else is ALOT higher.
    You can pick up a Sturrigde for 45-46k and he will be 90. I personally have a few in my club because i dont know if i will do SBC in the future. But you can always use him.

    The supply is gone too so maybe you wont get short term profit. but surely long term you will.

    OTW are not rinsed through SBC. They’re supply isn’t changing. The Scream cards are diminishing more and more every boost. Supply and demand, it’s not hard to figure out.

    There is a reason why the screams are priced higher now and almost up to their boost price from last time. Everyone wants to do the Henry for less.

    People bought them for the next full moon (Dec. 3). Sakho is atm 28k while the cheapest 88 rated card is 38k, he likely will increase a little but you can also try to snipe him for less if people get rid of their investments and undercut

    Only compare them because of the undercutting.

    If for example Salad gets an IF his price will rise massively. But when everyone sellsbtheir investment he's cheaper than before.

    Thats only one card. Scream got 23 cards. No matter if supply will shrink. The undercutting will be massive thats why im selling in advance

    u realize why there is undercutting right? its because the stock is way higher as the demand is. ppl dont get rid of otw cards their stock will not deminish over the next weeks/month. so there will always b much more cards on the market then the market wants.

    good and often used scream cards for sbc's on the other hand will b pretty much extinct in 4-6 months

    pls tell me u see the difference?

    They will only be as expensive as the rating of other players with the same rating.

    Demand will be significantly less than last month. Dont you genuinly think that anyone who wanted to do the sbcs didnt stocked up in advance? Only ppl left are investors and stupid ppl

    Avoid like the plague. Profit at this point will at best be minimal and there is a massive scope for loss . You have to remember that people picked these up for 10k less than they are priced now so their selling point will be a lot lower than yours if you pick then up now

    sure everybody stocked up 1-2mil worth of scream cards a few weeks after release for 4-8 icon sbcs they are going to make in the future... and u know that there are still ppl buying the game, especially around xmas right?

    there are so many big icon sbcs to come in the next weeks/months and u wanna tell me that 90-95% of the gamers who play this game who dont even have a 1mil main team already have stocked up on scream cards for sbcs they wanna do in 2 3 4 months? sure thing paul....

    sry but there is no talking out of the stupidity of your comments, they just get better the more u try :)

    No but they stocked up weeks in advance when there wasnt any hype.

    If ppl who havent have the game.yet, they will never be able to afford icon sbcs until may. No way im holding my cards that long.

    Not everyone is doing these sbcs like the totw sbc. Demand will be very low.

    Different links. The Icon SBCs require more than 40 chem, so you cant just go and pick the 8 cheapest keepers..

    Sturridge - Crough
    Bender - Bender
    Deulofeu - ( Iniesta, Bisquits, Pique )
    Kovacic - (Kroos)
    Carrasco (Godin)

    etc..

    no they did not stock up in advance, the usual/casual gamer which is over 90-95% does not even have a 1mil + team yet. the only ppl who "stocked up weeks in advance" (u are talking about 4 weeks after release where the casual gamer does not even have a 200k team) are credit card wielders and they are going to make big coin profits in the coming months on those scream cards

    u seem to think that fifa is only played by hardcore gamers/smart investors and so on. it is quite the opposite...

    and there are alot of casual gamers who only play this game for 2 3 months (most come around xmas and are gone again in march april may) and are spending some money while doing it and yes they buy scream cards and do sbcs. they wanna play with icons...

    True but if chem is 60 only 5 ppl need full chem. Easy to achieve when the rating is below 88.
    Barely need any special link for that

    There are more ways to Rome

    Thats why I dont see the under 90 ratings rise anymore. Why pay 40k for Bender when you can have Verrati for 28? Chem wont change since you can link him with Bonucci and Barzagli.

    Prices will be different because of chem. But no way it will be 15k difference

    I wouldn't invest now. (Hope this doesn't sound like a humble brag)stocked up weeks ago,
    3x ozil st 76-78k
    5x Sakho at 13-14k
    5x crouch at 11-12k
    5x Bender at 12-13k
    4x Ribery at 57-62k
    5x Sturridge at 30k
    5x Bartra at 16-18k

    I didn't invest in them for profit, just wanted to complete the icon sbcs a lot cheaper.

    yes so did i but we are not the usual/casual gamers. i have 900h already sunk in fifa 18 and a 15mil team and i guess if u took those investments that early in the game u have about the same or even better so u cant compare us to the usual/casual fifa gamer who rly starts gaming around xmas and buys some scream cards from the market cuz they heard its the cheapest way to do some sbcs (and ofc they want to play with a icon and do 1 or 2 of those sbcs)
