FUT 23 market hits ROCK BOTTOM as players can’t even give away CR7


The 2022 Qatar World Cup has taken over FIFA 23 and players are loving the vast quantity of content that has arrived in Ultimate Team.

However, with every new promo comes an influx of packs and a fall in the value of all cards on the FUT 23 transfer market.

This year, it seems the Ultimate Team market has plummeted to a new low and even earlier than we may have expected...

A new low

The current state of the transfer market is typified when you look at one of the highest-rated and best players in the entire game - Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portugal, Manchester United and Real Madrid legend is undoubtedly one of the most effective players in FUT 23, boasting 92 shooting and five-star skill moves.

However, CR7's price on the PlayStation and Xbox market has hit a new low.

NEW LOW - Ronaldo's price has never been lower

Ronaldo is currently being listed at his minimum buy-now price of 160,000 coins by hundreds of players.

This means that Ultimate Team players cannot even give Cristiano Ronaldo away if they try!

So, this begs the question - what's the point in grinding hard in FUT Champions in an attempt to pack a monster card like Ronaldo, only to find out that you cannot even sell him for his minimum price?

No more fun

For years the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar were the absolute pinnacle of FIFA Ultimate Team.

Packing one of these top-tier cards was nothing more than a distant dream for almost the entirety of the FUT community.

However, with so few cards holding any significant value, the excitement of pulling one of these items is significantly reduced.

SAD TIMES - Packing Lionel Messi isn't what it used to be

In recent times EA has also altered the pack weight to make packing a Ronaldo or Messi more probable for everybody.

On the one hand, this could be viewed as a positive thing as more players across the globe are overjoyed when they see one of the GOATs walk out onto their screen.

On the flip side, however, upping the pack weight for the top cards in the game devalues packing what used to be a high-value item.

It just takes the fun out of the game.

Last men standing

To reiterate just how far the FUT 23 transfer market has plummeted, we're taking a look at the most expensive Gold Rare Items in the game.

There are currently just seven, yes SEVEN Rare Gold cards that are valued above 100,00 coins on the PlayStation and Xbox market.

BARGAIN BUYS - These top-tier cards are super cheap right now

The front three of Paris Saint-Germain are all up there alongside the Liverpool duo of Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

Cristiano Ronaldo's value is somewhat misleading given nobody wants to buy him for that price, whilst Vinicius Junior just sneaks in above the 100k mark.

Given we are only a couple of months into the game cycle this is absolutely staggering.
