The Machine NokaFut

Before you start

The Machine is only available on the SUPERPREMIUM plan. You can see the plans in the store. Here is what you need to have ready:

• The EA Web App open in Chrome, with the NokaFut extension enabled.
• The EA tab visible while the Machine is working. If you cover it with another tab or minimize Chrome, Chrome slows the extension down to save battery and the Machine runs much slower. If you want to use your computer at the same time, keep the Web App in its own window.
• Don't log in to your account anywhere else at the same time (another browser, your phone or your console): EA only allows one session and would close this one.
• At least one saved search filter (step 1).
• Coins to pay with and, if you are going to list cards or send them to your Transfer List, free space on your Transfer List. If either one is missing, the Machine stops and tells you why.

The Machine works with cycles. A cycle is a recipe: “search with this filter, keep only these cards and, when you buy one, do this with it”. You can have several cycles and the Machine takes turns running them.

Step 1: save a search filter

The filter tells the Machine what to search for and the most it can pay. You set it up once and it works forever.

1. Go to Transfers > Search the Transfer Market.
2. Set up the search as usual: player, quality, rarity, position, league, etc. (EA's “Rating Range” appears collapsed, because EA doesn't apply it to market searches. If you want to see it, click its title.)
3. Set the Max Buy Now price. This is the most you will pay per card: the Machine buys at the “Buy Now” price of the card it finds, and never above this limit.
4. Leave Min Bid and Min Buy Now empty. The Machine moves them by itself (we explain why below).
5. Open the Filters and Rules panel with its shortcut, “Filters and Rules in searches”. You can see and change the shortcut in Noka > Shortcuts (if you press “LOAD CONFIG DEFAULT”, it's the F key). The panel appears on the right and only opens on Search the Transfer Market.
6. In the SEARCH FILTERS tab, type a name in “Name filter”. If you like, give it a category (for example “Bronze” or “Gold”), which will help you find it later. Press Save: the search you have on screen is saved, and the message tells you which Max Buy Now price it was saved with.

In the list of saved filters:

• Click the name to load that filter into the search.
• Pencil (✎): change the name or the category. If you have also changed the search on screen (for example, you lowered the Max Buy Now price), keep the box “Also save the search that is on screen now (prices included)” ticked. If you edit the filter you just loaded, it comes already ticked. If the screen doesn't match what was saved and you don't tick it, you get a warning showing both prices.
• Bin (🗑): deletes the filter. You have to press it twice (“Sure?”), so you don't delete anything by mistake.
• Search box: search by name or category, ignoring accents and capital letters.
• Order: “My order”, “Name (A-Z)”, “By category” or “Newest first”. In “My order” you can move them with ↑ ↓ or by dragging them.
• Categories: above the list there is a button for each category so you can see only those filters.

Whenever you create, change or delete a filter, the Machine sees it straight away.

Why the min bid moves. If you repeat the exact same search, EA can return the same cached results. To avoid this, before each search the Machine raises the min bid by one step (if there is no min bid, it raises the Min Buy Now instead). When it reaches the limit (you'll see it in step 5), it clears it and starts again. Your Max Buy Now price is never touched.

Step 2 (optional): rules

A rule fine-tunes the search results: it hides the cards you don't want. The Machine always buys the first visible card, so anything a rule hides doesn't get bought.

You create them in the same Filters and Rules panel, in the FILTERING RULES tab. Press “＋ New rule” to open the form. Each field has its own explanation in the ⓘ.

Press Save. It won't let you save an empty rule, because it would let any card through.

In the list of rules:

• Tap a rule to change it: it opens in the form and the button changes to “Save changes”.
• The switch turns it on or off.
• The (−) button deletes it, also with two taps.
• At the top you have a search box (by player or rating) and the order: “My order”, “Player (A-Z)”, “Rating” or “Active first”. In “My order” you move them with ↑ ↓.

Important: when a Machine cycle starts, it leaves only that cycle's rule turned on and turns all the others off. If the cycle has no rule, it turns them all off. If you find your rules changed after stopping the Machine, this is why.

Tip: in Transfers, the NokaClub card has the option “HIDE - Hide players from my club”. With “Hide” selected, the cards you already have in your club are hidden and the Machine won't buy them. With “Transparency” they are only marked, and they can still be bought.

Step 3: open the Machine

The Machine opens and closes with the SuperPremium shortcut, in Noka > Shortcuts. This shortcut has no key assigned by default: choose whichever key you like. It only appears if your plan is SUPERPREMIUM.

The Machine and the Filters and Rules panel only open on Search the Transfer Market. If you leave the market they close by themselves (unless the Machine is working), and when you come back they open again.

The panel appears on the left and has four tabs:

Above the tabs is the status line, which shows live what the Machine is doing (step 6).

Step 4: create a cycle

In the Machine tab, press “＋ New cycle”. The form opens; each field has its explanation in the ⓘ:

1. Active: turn it on so the cycle runs in the Machine's next round.
2. What it searches: choose one of your saved filters. If you have lots of them, there is a search box above along with the last three you used. There are also two special options, :: URL [FB] :: and :: LISTADO :: (player list), explained further down.
3. Rule (optional): which cards from the results it may buy. “No rule (all)” = any.
4. What to do with the card: what to do with each card after buying it.
5. Listing price: only appears if you choose List. Minimum and maximum (how to write them is in the next section).
6. Cards to buy: how many cards you want from this cycle. 0 = no limit. When it reaches that number, the cycle switches itself off.
7. Press Save. If something is missing, it isn't saved and it tells you what's missing.

The four actions:

The cycle list

Below, your cycles appear one per row, in the order the Machine runs them:

• Switch: turns the cycle on or off. Only cycles that are on will run.
• Next: filter > rule > action (and the prices if it lists) and, in brackets, the cards to buy. If something is missing, you'll see “⚠ Missing: …” in red.
• Tap the row to see and change the cycle: it opens in the form (“Editing: …”).
• ↑ ↓: move it up or down the list (you can also drag it). The Machine runs them from top to bottom and, when it finishes, goes back to the first one.
• (−): deletes the cycle. Careful: this one deletes on the first tap.

How to write listing prices

In Minimum and Maximum you can enter a fixed price or a calculation. There are two starting points:

• Without “FB” in front: it's calculated from what you paid for the card.
• With “FB” in front: it's calculated from that card's market price, based on the price source you use in NokaFut (FutBin or fut.gg).

Examples, for a card you bought for 10,000 whose market price is 20,000:

Three things worth knowing:

• A one- or two-digit number is always a percentage. 50 means +50%, not 50 coins. Numbers without a sign only count as coins from 100 upwards.
• “FB” on its own doesn't work. For the exact market price, type FB0.
• NokaFut rounds to EA's price steps and keeps the price within the range allowed for that card. The Minimum has to be lower than the Maximum: otherwise, the cycle won't save.

A typical combination: Minimum FB-5, Maximum FB0.

Special filters: URL [FB] and Listado (player list)

Instead of a saved filter, a cycle can work with a list of specific players, each with their own max price. On each search the Machine takes the next player on the list and searches for them with Max Buy Now = their price. After the last one, it goes back to the first.

• :: URL [FB] ::: paste a link to a FutBin players page and press Add players. NokaFut reads that page and brings in the players with their FutBin price. Below it there is a sample link, “Example of a valid players' URL”.
• :: LISTADO ::: you build the list yourself by hand, player by player.

Both open the same window, FILTER PLAYERS:

Press Aceptar (OK) to close the window and then Save the cycle. In the cycle's row you'll see “NAME · N players”; click it to change the list.

Step 5: Machine options

In the Options tab you set the pace. Changes are saved automatically. If a number isn't valid, it tells you right below.

Safe settings. If you're not sure what to set, press “🛡 Use safe settings”: it searches calmly so EA doesn't block your market. One search every 4 seconds, 10 searches per cycle and a 30 s pause between cycles, a 5 min break every 10 min, and it stops by itself after an hour. You can change anything you want afterwards. If you have never touched the options, the Machine suggests these settings the first time you press Play.

Duration and breaks

Watch out for Total duration: if you have never changed it, the Machine stops after 5 minutes.

Snipe

These three times vary a little at random on each pass (up to 20% up or down), so the pace is never exactly the same. The faster you set it, the more likely EA is to slow you down.

Results and cards

Two more settings, in the Filters and Rules panel

In the OPTIONS tab of the Filters and Rules panel:

• Limit to restart the bid: how high the Machine raises the min bid before starting again from zero. Less than 100 = a % of the filter's Max Buy Now (50 = half). More than 100 = exact coins (700 = 700 coins). Empty = up to the Max Buy Now.
• Sort results from first page: which cards show at the top when you search manually. If the Machine has its own order set in its Options, the Machine's order wins.

Step 6: start and stop

At the top of the Machine tab you have three ways to start. All three search, buy and carry out the cycle's action; what changes is how they do it:

The other buttons:

The Machine always starts on Search the Transfer Market and, if you're not there, it goes there by itself. If something is missing, it won't start and it tells you what:

• “No active cycles. Enable at least one.”
• “Missing: …” with the cycle's name and what it's missing: the filter, the action, the minimum and maximum listing price, the minimum being lower than the maximum, or the filter or rule no longer existing because it was deleted.
• If you have Telegram turned on but without a token or Id, it notes it in the Log (it still starts, but you won't get alerts).

How it works once it's running

1. It takes the first cycle that's on and runs its searches (“Consecutive Snipes”).
2. Every time it finds a card, it buys it, waits for EA to confirm the purchase and carries out the cycle's action. If EA doesn't confirm it, it doesn't count it as bought.
3. When the cycle's searches are done, it goes back to Search the Transfer Market, rests (“Rest/Change”) and moves on to the next cycle that's on. After the last one, it goes back to the first.
4. After each “Round duration”, it takes a “Long Rest”, also on Search the Transfer Market.
5. It stops when it reaches the “Total duration”, when you press ◼, when every cycle has reached its “Cards to buy”, or for safety reasons (see below).

The status line

Above the tabs you can see, live, across four lines:

Safety: when it stops by itself

The Machine looks after your account. All of this comes built in and there's nothing to tick:

• EA warnings. If EA replies with “Request Rejected ¿Softban?”, “Too many request from this user ¿Softban?”, “I think someone needs to solve a puzzle, maybe a Captcha?” or a warning about the Unassigned list, the Machine stops immediately and alerts you on screen and on Telegram with “Stopped for safety: …”.
• 3 failures in a row. If EA doesn't respond or gives a strange error three times in a row, the Machine stops: “Stopped for safety: 3 failures in a row with EA. Wait a few minutes before starting again.” Another user buying the card before you doesn't count as a failure.
• Never more than one search every 1.3 seconds, whatever you set in Options.
• Automatic brake. It counts the calls to EA in the last minute. If there are a lot, it waits longer between searches (“🟡 Many calls to EA: waiting N s more”) and, if there are too many, it takes a 30-second pause.
• No coins or full list. If you don't have enough coins to pay for the card, or your Transfer List is full and the cycle lists cards or sends them to the Transfer List, it stops and tells you why.

If the Machine stops for safety, take it seriously: wait a few minutes and, if it happens again, raise “Snipe every” or use the safe settings.

The record (Log)

The Log tab records everything the Machine does. At the top there are buttons to see only what you're interested in, with a count for each: All, ⚙️ Machine, 🛒 Bought, 📦 What it did and ⚠️ Failed. You can select several at once; “All” clears them.

One failure worth recognizing: “In transfer list, but could not list it: …”. It means the card was bought and is in your Transfer List, but EA didn't let it be listed for sale. You'll have to list it yourself.

With Copy you copy what you're looking at (handy for sending it to us if something goes wrong) and with Clear you delete it. It keeps the last 300 lines, even if you reload the page.

Phone alerts with Telegram

With Telegram you get a message for every purchase and for every EA warning. In the Machine's Telegram 🔔 tab you'll find the guide “How to set it up”. You only need to do it once:

1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather.
2. Send it /newbot and follow the steps: a name for the bot and a username ending in “bot”.
3. BotFather gives you a token (something like 123456:ABC-xyz…). Copy it into Telegram Token.
4. Open your new bot and press Start (or send it /start).
5. Open api.telegram.org/botTU_TOKEN/getUpdates in your browser (replacing TU_TOKEN with your own token) and look for "chat":{"id": followed by a number. That number is your Telegram Id.
6. Enter both values, switch Telegram to On and press Send test. You should receive “✅ NokaFut: Telegram alerts are working.”

Tips and common problems

Tips

• If it's your first time, use the safe settings and start with ▶ Play.
• Fine-tune the Max Buy Now price of each filter carefully: it's what decides whether a purchase makes a profit.
• Keep the EA tab visible: when it's hidden, the Machine runs much slower.
• Don't lower “Snipe every” too much. Going faster buys sooner, but it also makes it more likely that EA will slow you down.
• If you list cards, make sure there's space left on your Transfer List.
