you're gonna have to explain the point of TOTS to me. beyond the basics, I understand "the point" but in a search for German CM's, side by side there's a Gundogan IF selling for less than 2000, middle of the road price for the card. on the other side is a TOTS bronze player from gladbach. 64 overall, and individual stats under each of Ilkay's threshold. granted not nearly as big a difference as a non IF card would have for a 19 point overall deficit, it was about 5 points per category. but the TOTS card(actually it's black I know that's something different but the question remains the same) for the 64 overall player is asking for a measly 18k.

again I'm not new to FUT, we've been shooting back and forth for months now. but I know I'm missing some major component of the equation, or I'm just fricking stupid

another sidebar. full disclosure I majored in Econ so this shite is actually really interesting to me. Ozil IF 88, Kroos IF 87. one is generally priced about 10k higher than the other. (in this instance same position, no chemistry style). is this the market force of little Mexican kids valuing an offensive heavy player over a more well rounded midfielder? to the tune of over 200% of the lesser cards worth? again, I might be missing something. I'm sure these conversations have been happening since the dawn of FUT

A lot of things come into play. Long shots and pace will spike a players value exponentially, as will the league he plays in/country he's from, and the availability of the card on the market. IF Guarin goes for about 50k more than IF Naiingolan, despite Radja having almost better stats across the board at the same position in the same league. Well Radja can't pelt one from 40 yards into the top corner, and Guarin has 92 long shots and 94 shot power. Skill moves and weak foot will also have a say in value. Kroos has a 5* WF and can be integrated into a Bundesliga or La Liga team, and his defensive stats aren't terrible. Ozil is a dime a dozen BPL midfielder on FIFA and his shooting stats aren't great. As far as bronze and silver players, there are tournaments specific for bronze and silver squads, so the high end bronze and silver players will fetch more than the average rare gold player.

Jonas and Hulk IF cards are amazing, but they play in minuscule leagues which makes their value cheap as hell relative to their actual ratings. Same reason striker Ronaldo fetches about 400k more than LW Ronaldo, it's all about chemistry
