Narrow filters win more cards
The instinct is to search widely: any gold, any rare, under a price. It feels like more chances. In practice it is fewer, because the market returns cards ending soonest first, and a filter that fills a whole page buries the listing that went up ten seconds ago behind twenty older ones. FC AutoBuyer warns you when a filter is doing this.
A filter that returns a handful of cards is the one that snipes. One player, or one card type with a tight price band, means anything new appears where the bot can see it. That is also why rotation helps: several narrow filters cover more ground than one wide one, without any of them going blind.
Pricing the filter
Your max Buy Now price decides what counts as a bargain, so it needs to sit under what the card actually sells for, not at it. Check the going rate with our guide to price checking players, then work backwards from your resale price with the EA tax calculator, remembering EA takes 5% of every sale.
Filters and the rest of the run
A filter decides what it buys. What happens next is up to you: leave cards in Unassigned, or have them listed automatically at a price that cannot lose coins. The auto buying page covers how the searching and buying itself works.
