Your first snipe: setting up a filter in five minutes

From install to your first purchase: connect, pick a filter, check prices and start searching without guesswork.

This guide takes you from a fresh install to your first snipe. It assumes the extension is already added to Chrome or Edge.

1. Connect to the web app

Open the FC 27 web app and log in as you normally would. The sidebar appears on the right and says Not connected at first.

Do any search in the web app’s Transfer Market. That’s all it needs: the status flips to Connected. You never type your EA login into the extension.

First time? Press ? in the sidebar header. The guided tour walks through every tab using demo data, so nothing is bought.

2. Pick a filter in the web app

Set up a search on the web app’s Transfer Market screen, exactly as if you were going to search by hand. You can use:

  • One player: type a name and pick the card from the suggestions.
  • A multi-player filter: for example Quality: Gold, League: Ligue 1, Rarity: Rare. These catch many different cards, so they find more snipes.

In the sidebar’s Trade tab, press Read filters. The filter appears in the Filter box.

3. Check prices

Before you start, let the extension price the card. It reads the cheapest listings, works out what the card sells for, and fills in:

  • Sell for: one price step under the cheapest listing.
  • Max buy: the most you can pay and still make your minimum profit after EA’s 5% tax.

Change Minimum profit if you want bigger margins; Max buy updates to match.

4. Choose what happens after a snipe

Under After purchase:

  • Sell lists the card straight away. Choose where the price comes from: Futbin, FUT.gg or EA.
  • Leave Never list below break-even on. It stops the bot ever listing a card for less than you paid plus tax.

5. Start searching

Press Start searching (or Alt + S). Watch the Activity tab:

  • Almost sniped means someone else got there first. That’s normal.
  • Successfully sniped means you bought it. If FUT.gg’s price is turned on, you’ll also see what the card recently sold for and your profit against it.

Keep the safety limits on

The defaults cap searches and buys per hour and per day, and add breaks. They’re there for a reason: hours of non-stop, maximum-speed searching is the behaviour most likely to get an account noticed. Start with the defaults and only change them once you know what you’re doing.

Next steps

  • Check the Players tab after a session: the filter leaderboard shows which filters actually made money.
  • Read single vs multi-player filters to choose better targets.
