FC 27 sniping bot for the Web App

What Buy Now sniping is

Most FC 27 sellers set a Buy Now price close to the market, but some list far under it: a typo, a quick sale, someone who didn’t check. Those listings are gone within seconds. Sniping means searching over and over with a maximum Buy Now set under the card’s value, buying the moment a cheap listing appears, and reselling nearer its real price. A sniping bot runs that loop for you, on cards you chose.

How SnipeBid decides what to buy

You add targets on the Targets tab: single players (including the exact TOTW or promo version you want), consumables, managers or club items, or whole filters that work like an autobuyer. For each player target SnipeBid computes a max buy:

• Market price × snipe %, rounded down to EA’s price steps. The price is rechecked every minute by default, so the max buy moves with the market.
• Smart % (on by default) gives every card its own % inside a range you set (88 to 92% on a new install). It pays less for cards that are falling, swinging or slow to sell, and a little more for steady, fast-selling cards or when you keep losing races. Switch to Fixed for one % for everything, or type a % on a single row.
• A profit floor after tax. Whatever the %, the max buy never goes above what leaves your minimum profit once EA keeps 5% of the sale. By default that minimum is 50 coins or 3% of the sell price, whichever is more. With Margin on Auto (the default), the percentage part can thin on fast-selling cards while your coins sit idle; the coin amount always stays. Set Margin to Profit to keep it fixed.

A price older than 30 minutes is never traded on: SnipeBid fetches a fresh one first. Special cards are searched through their base player, but only the exact version you added is ever bought.

Searches built to see fresh listings

EA answers a search with 21 listings and tends to serve the same cached page for an identical query. A wide search for a popular player can show the same old listings again and again while the new cheap one sits further down.

So SnipeBid searches a narrow window: only the last few EA price steps under your max buy, where a deal has to be anyway. The window adapts per card: a full page narrows it, a run of empty pages widens it. A window searched in the last minute is shifted by a step, so the same query is not sent twice in a row. About one search in ten is deliberately wide, starting at half the max buy, so a listing priced far under value is not missed.

The fast lane for price errors

When a listing appears at 70% of the market price or less, and the card’s price is fresh, SnipeBid clicks almost instantly instead of waiting its usual reaction time. This happens at most once every five minutes across all targets; any other deal in that time is bought at normal speed. Up to two listings can be bought from one search.

Pace, reaction speed and breaks

Every request to EA (search, buy, listing, watchlist check) goes through one queue, sent one at a time with randomised gaps and a cap per minute. You pick the pace:

• Safe: about 10 requests a minute, 7–14 s between searches, frequent breaks.
• Normal (default): about 15 a minute, 4.5–9 s between searches.
• Aggressive: about 22 a minute. Faster, and a higher risk.

Short and long breaks come at irregular times, and the first minutes of every run, and the minutes after a cooldown, always use Safe timings. Hourly and daily search caps (600 and 2,500 by default) count across every browser on the same EA account.

The Buy Now reaction is set separately: Human (follows your pace), Fast (0.6–1 s) or Turbo (0.1–0.25 s, the default). Turbo wins more races, but no person clicks that fast, which makes it the easiest pattern to flag. Human or Fast is the more careful choice. If you’d rather not tune this yourself, the Safe beginner and Specials sniper starting setups set pace, reaction, limits and percentages in one click.

Guards before every buy

• Session spend limit: the bot stops before a buy would take this run over it.
• Keep at least: no buy that would drop your balance under this floor.
• Coins in unsold cards: Buy Now waits while your unsold cards and open bids already tie up more than 70% of your coins (adjustable, or off), and resumes as cards sell.
• Unsold copies per target: a card pauses at its limit (5 by default) and buys again once a copy sells.

Every missed buy is logged with a reason, such as “someone faster bought it”, and counted on the Targets tab. With auto-listing on, each snipe goes straight to your Transfer List; see how auto listing and relisting work.

Who a sniping bot suits

Sniping fits players who want market coins without watching the market, and who start small: a few targets, low copy limits, a Safe or Normal pace. It works best on cards that trade often.
