Filters
A filter buys any card that matches your criteria, not one specific player. Each card in the results is priced on its own.
Filters live on the Targets tab, under your targets. Press + New filter to create one. A filter runs with your targets when you press Start, in whichever mode you picked.
How a filter decides what to buy
A filter searches the market with your criteria, then looks at every listing in the results on its own:
- Players are priced one by one with SnipeBid’s price data (the live price when available, else the market price). A card without a known price is skipped, never guessed; its price is usually ready on the next pass.
- Items (consumables, managers, club items) are priced by your sell price, or, when you leave it empty, by the cheapest Buy Now SnipeBid saw in its own auction scans.
- Snipe: buys a Buy Now listing when it is at or under your snipe % of that card’s price, under the filter’s max price, and still leaves your minimum profit after the 5% EA tax. For a player whose price is falling, the snipe % is made stricter: 2 points lower at −5% in 24 hours, 4 points lower at −10%. Up to two buys per search, best profit first.
- Bid: only auctions ending inside your bid window, capped by your bid % and your minimum profit, with the same counter-bid and final-push rules as the bidder.
- Always skipped: untradeable cards, loan cards, and players outside the OVR range.
Editor fields
Pick the Item type first: Players, Consumables, Managers or Club items. The editor then shows only the fields that apply.
Players
| Field | Options |
|---|---|
| Quality | Any, Bronze, Silver, Gold or Special. |
| Rarity | EA’s rarity list (Rare, TOTW, promos…). |
| Position | A position, or a whole line: defenders, midfielders or attackers. |
| Chem style | Cards with a chemistry style applied. |
| Country, League, Club | Pick a league before a club. |
| OVR from / to | Rating range, 45–99. |
| PlayStyle+ only | Only cards with a PlayStyle+. |
Consumables, managers and club items
| Item type | Categories and extra fields |
|---|---|
| Consumables | Chemistry style (pick the style), Contract, Healing, Fitness, Position change. Quality: Any, Bronze, Silver or Gold. |
| Managers | Country and league. Quality as above. |
| Club items | Kit and Badge (league and club), Stadium, Ball, Tifo. Quality as above. |
Price, limit and percentages
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | Optional. Left empty, SnipeBid names it from the criteria. |
| Min price | Optional. Skip listings below this. |
| Max price per card / item | Required, at least 200. Never pays more for one card. |
| Sell price (items) | At least 200, or empty to use the cheapest Buy Now SnipeBid saw. |
| Unsold copies at once | The filter pauses when it holds this many unsold cards, and buys again once one sells. 0 = no limit. |
| Snipe at % | 50–100. Empty uses the global snipe slider. |
| Bid up to % | 50–100. Empty uses the global bid setting. |
Leagues, clubs, countries, rarities and chemistry styles come from the web app itself. If the editor says so, open the web app’s Transfers screen once so SnipeBid can load them; quality, OVR and prices work already.
Price bands
A broad filter can match hundreds of listings, but EA returns only 21 per page. So each filter splits its price range into bands, and splits a band again whenever it comes back full, up to 8 bands. Every search then stays small enough to see fresh listings. The filter row shows how many bands it uses. Editing a filter starts the bands fresh.
Examples
| Goal | Set |
|---|---|
| Cheap Premier League golds | Players · Gold · League: Premier League · OVR 82–86 · Max price 15,000 |
| Special cards in a price range | Players · Special · Min price 20,000 · Max price 60,000 · Snipe at 90% |
| Chemistry styles | Consumables · Chemistry style · Hunter · Max price 2,000 · Sell price 2,600 |
| Contracts, auctions only | Consumables · Contract · Gold · Max price 800 · Sell price empty (run in Bid or Both mode so SnipeBid sees prices) |
Filter rows
Each filter shows its description, its snipe and bid %, searches run and deals seen, and bought / limit. Use the switch to pause it, Edit to change it and ✕ to delete it.
