FIFA 18 St Patricks Day Cards Rules
How the FIFA 18 St Patricks Day Cards Work
To promote the event, Electronic Arts introduced in FIFA 15 a brand new themed card. These cards are assigned to a selection of players and released all at once in a single FUT squad.
Based on what happened in previous years, these are the official rules we expect to see this time:
RULE 1
AVAILABILITY
FIFA 18 St Patricks Day cards become available in packs for a limited time. During this period, they replace the corresponding regular not coloured cards. In other words, it is not possible to find a regular card of a St Patricks Day player while they are in packs.
1.1. If you own the regular card of a St Patricks Day player, your card will keep unchanged. If you want the new version, you will need to buy the corresponding version in the market or pull it from a pack while available.
1.2. Your odds of pulling a St Patricks Day card from a pack are exactly the same ones of pulling the day 1 card of that player in another time.
RULE 2
RATINGS AND STATS
During the event, a selection of Irish players will be released in packs as unique green items. The ratings and stats of these cards are exactly the same ones from the day 1 items.

FIFA 18 St Patricks Day Cards Prices
What happens to the St Patricks Day cards’ prices?
Despite not performing better in the pitch, the ‘greens’ are sold for a higher price in the FUT transfer market because of three main reasons: many people like to collect them; to fulfil the SBC requirements; the discard price of these cards are the same one of in form cards. The FIFA 18 green cards will be more expensive as soon as they are released.
Many Irish players increase in price a few days before the St Patricks Day SBC starts. Specific players will more than double in price, so investing early can make you a lot of FIFA 18 coins. Remember to sell before the promotion actually starts. The best time to buy Irish players is during the TOTY but beware as players are starting to invest earlier and earlier. Even some of the cheapest non-rares increase considerably in price, especially if they fit the SBC requirements and are given a green team card. You should sell your investments in the week before the promotion starts if you want to maximise your profit.
