when is the best time to sell off your team was thinking now before blitz. Wondering what u guys think
So there are different perspectives on this question, but over the last 2-3 years, I think the conventional wisdom is now: 1) sell your team if you're not gonna play for 2-3 weeks; 2) sell your (sellable, non-BND) team if you're not going to play competitively for 2-3 weeks; 3) sell your team a week or two ahead of major releases (Zero Chill being one of them) where OVR jumps will happen; but 4) don't expect to make a mint. Too many folks have complained that this strategy didn't pay off, especially if they had a decent number of Theme Team cards to buy back.
The only caveat is that with Team Diamonds potentially around the corner, prices of set pieces will often spike materially (remember CJ Ham last year???).
I’m gonna spill the main secret. If you can stand it, sell your team Saturday afternoons. Buy them back Mondays after AKAs release and you’ll profit almost every time and have the same team you had, plus resources to add new players each week. Exceptions are during weeks that OVR increases, on those weeks (like this week) wait for the new promo with OVR increase. I’m not a hardcore investor, just don’t like watching my cards drop in value weekly.

This is the way, i have a 90 ovr team just by doing this and 3 mill coins just chilling, nms too. People clear out the cards Saturdays for much higher prices, also anytime before a ovr increase normally on Monday or Wednesday is a good time to invest in some cards, aka cards as well (for example ickey was 600k now he's almost 900k) Randy moss was 290-300k and now he's back up to 400+, same with metcalf, he's gone up a lot.
Made it to champion division in ranked and sold about 75% of my team keeping only raiders and Lamar. Made a ton back don’t regret it! Saving the coins for blitz!! Let’s go!
Remember when Legend releases and packs were so good they caused the market to go down? The good old days now I guess
My best guess is it was probably time to sell the team in the late spring or early summer of 2016. This game has been white dogshit since.

This. The "sell on Tuesday, buy on Saturday" strategy was entirely based on heavy pack buying for Legends releases. I'm not sure why anyone would buy Legends packs these days. Today's store concept is almost entirely based on points-based, high end bundles that guarantee higher volumes for champions than of mid to low-level set cards. This completely hollows out the auction house, and makes just about any non-champion card worthless, because it's cheaper to buy the champs off the auction house than it ever is to build it.

Exactly. The typical Saturday strategy this year seems to be to inflate prices when you have the most concurrent users and you will make more $$. Then put a promo you think has the greatest potential for $$ two days later. AKA. As you stated the old strategy was based off high volume. This strategy by intention or mistake seems to work actively against it.
