Spring (Before TOTS)
fallingFriday, 26 March 2027 to Thursday, 15 April 2027
Road to the Final and Trophy Titans (FC 26: 27 Mar and 3 Apr). The last 'normal' phase. The market knows that from mid-April everything that isn't TOTS becomes worthless.
What to do
Sell every gold, Icon and Hero investment by 10 Apr at the latest. That's the last exit.
What actually worked in this phase

- ▲Icons rated 85 to 87: +1 %
- ▲midfielders that moved sideways: +1.2 %
- ▼Better left alone, meta gold cards that lost more than 15 % the week before: -27.2 %
- ▼Better left alone, meta gold midfielders: -24.5 %
