How Much Are 100,000 FIFA 23 Coins Worth in British Pounds?
As a longtime FIFA gamer and content creator, one of the most common questions I get asked is "how much real money does 100,000 FUT coins cost?" So let‘s get right into it!
Right now in January 2023, 100k FIFA 23 coins averages approximately £120-£150 GBP across major coin sellers.
The actual rate can vary daily based on factors like demand around promos and special card releases. Just yesterday 100k coins cost 2% more at £153. But today prices have dropped back down as demand stabilized.
To demonstrate, see current buy prices for PS4 100k coins in pounds sterling from 5 top coin sites below:
Seller | Instant Delivery Price |
FIFACOINSBuy | £128 |
FIFACOIN.Com | £135 |
u7buy | £142 |
GOOFIFA | £146 |
FIFAAH | £148 |
You‘ll notice the asking rate fluctuates by over £20 from lowest to highest seller!
What Drives Changes in 100k Coin Value Over Time?
As an experienced FUT trader, I‘ve noticed coin prices shift for several key reasons:
1. New in-game promotion releases
When a hot new Team of the Week (TOTW) or event like Rulebreakers drops, demand spikes from more players looking to buy packs and coins to afford top-tier special cards. This causes real money prices to rise.
Expect to pay a ~10% premium during peak hype weeks!
2. Real world soccer and holidays
Real life soccer matchups, transfer windows, and big global events impact market demand too. Prices hit yearly peaks around Christmas/Futmas and January when Team of the Year arrives. The World Cup mode also added coins demand.
3. Payment processing changes
When coin sites add new payment methods (crypto, mobile payments etc.) rates can fluxate until settling at a new normal after early volatility.
4. Market supply from coin farmers
More coins generated through matches, SBCs etc. can lead to excess supply, then sites lower $/£ rates to stoke demand. EA fights against unauthorized farming & transfer bots which restricts supply.
Historical Pricing Context
To put the current £120-150 for 100k coins into perspective, here‘s a glimpse at how real-world FUT coin values have evolved over FIFA‘s last 3 annual releases. (Prices are for 1 million coins, not 100k for easier whole numbers).
FIFA Game Edition | Release Date | Platform | Average Launch Price in GBP (1 million coins) | Peak Price |
FIFA 21 | October 2020 | PS4 | £80 | £140 (Futmas 2020) |
FIFA 22 | October 2021 | PS5 | £100 | £190 (TOTY 2022) |
FIFA 23 | October 2022 | Xbox Series X | £120 | ? (TBD) |
Check out that 70%+ price hike over 3 years! And coins sell for nearly double at peak hype moments versus launch week rates.
When this year‘s Team of the Year arrives in January, I‘m forecasting 1 million FIFA 23 coins could hit over £250+ GBP judging by past trends! So if planning a big purchase, be patient for prices to fall back down by February/March.
Is Buying Coins Truly Worth it vs FIFA Points?
With 100k coins costing ~£120-150, you could argue sticking to FIFA Points allows more bang for your pound from reward packs.
But coins let you snipe specific players you want. And prices to build top squads now exceed 15+ million coins! Given match rewards earn at glacial pace this year, buying coins in moderation can save dozens or hundreds of hours grinding.
My rule of thumb is:
- Buy 6,000 FP at best rate possible (£39.99)
- Then supplement with 200-300k coins during key promotions
This mixes packs luck with guaranteed ways to afford Mbappe or icons sooner!
Just be careful not to overspend on coins as that kills long term motivation.
Beware the Risks – Buy Coins Safely!
I must warn that buying coins still breaches EA‘s rules. They may wipe your club or ban accounts caught purchasing from unauthorized sellers.
So first understand the risks. Then follow these tips find a seller who delivers coins safely:
✅ Buy only from trusted major sites (5+ years running)
✅ Check community reviews and ratings
✅ Start small – test with 10-20k coins
✅ Use player auction versus directly sending coins
✅ Don‘t buy at substantially lower than market rate – too risky!
I have personal experience buying from u7buy, FIFACOINS and GOOFIFA over years without issues. But do research to decide what works for your situation.
Well, there‘s my 2023 deep dive on FIFA coin values in GBP and whether coins are worth buying over points or not. Hope this info helps UK gamers better understand coin market dynamics and make informed purchase decisions!
