Hall of FUT Unleashed is expected to reach FC 27 packs on Friday 13 November at 18:00 UK, with Hulk and Theo Walcott listed as 90-rated headliners. Your weekend plan is to check the value of cards you already own, keep FC 27 Coins ready for squad needs, and watch the new items through Monday before making a major purchase. Early prices can move quickly, so give yourself a target price before the first listings appear.

What should you sell around the FC 27 launch

Check your tradeable duplicates, spare special cards and high-rated squad-building fodder between 17:00 and 19:00 UK on Friday. New Squad Building Challenges can lift demand for certain ratings or special items, while the pack openings that follow can add supply and push prices down. Look at live listings before setting a price, because a brief rise depends on what the challenges actually require.

Road to the Knockouts items, TOTW 9 cards and popular attackers are all worth reviewing if they're already in your club. TOTW 9 includes 91-rated Khadija Shaw, but each card will have its own market, so check individual listings before selling. Keep any players you need for your team or a challenge you're close to completing.

Leave some of your budget available for the new challenges, too. A player reward might fit your squad better than an expensive transfer, and you may need to buy a few rated cards to finish it. Check the full requirements and the cost of the players you already own before committing.

When should you buy FC 27 Hall of FUT Unleashed players

Sunday evening and Monday afternoon are useful times to check Hulk, Walcott and Mario Balotelli after the first wave of pack openings and Weekend League rewards. The opening hour can carry a premium because few copies are listed while lots of players want to try the new cards. Prices aren't guaranteed to fall, but watching them over several days gives you a better basis for a bid.

Add each target to your watch list and record the asking price after the launch rush, then check it again over the weekend. Set a limit based on the upgrade your team needs and the coins you want to retain for challenges. If a card stays above that limit on Monday, you can keep watching rather than stretching your budget.

Before buying, confirm that the listing is for the Unleashed item. Base Hall of FUT cards come from the FUT Gallery Token Store and don't turn into the boosted promo versions. Check the final position, PlayStyles and chemistry in your squad builder as well, since the listed ratings and attributes are subject to change.

Hulk, Walcott or Balotelli

Hulk looks like the strongest fit if you need a striker who can combine speed and physical presence. His listed 90-rated card has 92 pace, 90 shooting and 90 physical, with Liga Portugal chemistry. Check those details in game before spending, especially if your squad relies on specific league links.

Walcott's listed 98 pace makes him the more direct choice for a team that attacks down the right, and his Premier League chemistry may suit your squad. Balotelli is another striker to watch at a listed 88 rating, with 90 shooting and 85 physical. Compare their actual prices and final attributes: the best signing is the one that fills a starting spot at a cost you can manage.

You can also play the Hall of FUT Unleashed stage of the FC Heritage Circuit on Professional difficulty as part of your weekend. Circuit rewards include coins and untradeable packs, giving you another reason to review your club before paying for a new player. Keep late November in mind as well, with Black Friday on 27 November and Thunderstruck expected around that date.

Start by checking your club and setting a price target for the player who fits your lineup. When you're ready to strengthen it, you can buy FC 27 Coins and revisit the market after the weekend supply has had time to arrive.
