How to install fcsniper in Chrome

fcsniper is loaded as an unpacked Chrome extension. It takes about a minute, needs no account and no password, and once the tile shows up in the Transfers tab you are done.

Before you start

You need a Chromium browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave or Opera) on Windows, macOS or Linux, and the EA FC Ultimate Team web app working normally in that browser. That is the whole requirement list. fcsniper never asks for your EA password, because it runs inside the tab you already signed in with.

  1. Download and unzip the fcsniper build. Grab the zip from your purchase link or from the Discord and unzip it. You will end up with a folder called app. Keep it somewhere permanent — Chrome loads the extension from that path, so it cannot live in Downloads and then get cleared.

  2. Open the Chrome extensions page and turn on Developer mode. Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter (the same page exists in Edge at edge://extensions, Brave and Opera). Flip the Developer mode toggle in the top-right — three buttons appear, including Load unpacked.

  3. Click Load unpacked and pick the app folder. Hit Load unpacked, select the app folder you unzipped, and confirm. fcsniper appears in your extension list with its version number.

  4. Pin fcsniper to your toolbar. Click the puzzle-piece (Extensions) icon in Chrome, find fcsniper, and click the pin so its icon stays on your toolbar. That icon opens the panel from any page and shows an ON/OFF badge while the bot runs.

  5. Disable any older fcsniper builds. If you have loaded a previous version, switch it off or remove it. Two copies of the extension on the same tab will fight each other.
  6. Open the EA FC web app. Go to the Ultimate Team web app and sign in as normal. Open the Transfers tab and the fcsniper panel docks in on the right by itself — no click needed. You can also open it anywhere from the toolbar icon you just pinned.

Opening the menu

The fcsniper menu lives inside the web app, not in a browser popup. Open the Transfers tab and the panel docks in on the right by itself. The toolbar icon you pinned opens the same panel from any page. Press Esc or the X to close it.

The panel has two tabs. Dashboard is the live run view — wallet, elapsed time, profit per hour, cards seen, cards bought, captchas, soft bans, transfer list capacity and a streaming activity log. Settings is the full menu: sniping filter, bidding options, follow-up actions, break schedule, stop conditions and notifications.

Updating to a new build

Replace the contents of the app folder, then hit the reload icon on the fcsniper card in chrome://extensions and refresh the web app tab. Your saved configurations survive the update because they live in browser storage.

A sensible first filter

Do not start with a 90-rated player snipe. Start with fodder, because it teaches you what the market is doing and it fails cheaply:

  • Rating 84–86
  • Max BIN just under the current fodder going rate
  • League one of the big five, so there is enough supply to test with
  • Default action List at FUTBIN price
  • Breaks on, every 20–30 minutes, 2–5 minutes long, break tasks enabled

Let it run for twenty minutes and read the profit-per-hour figure. That number, not a YouTube thumbnail, tells you whether the filter is any good. The safety guide has the full recommended settings table.

Troubleshooting

The tile is not showing up

Refresh the web app tab. Chrome does not inject a freshly loaded extension into pages that were already open. If it still does not appear, check that only one fcsniper build is enabled in chrome://extensions.

"You must be on the search page"

The bot needs the transfer market search screen open to apply a filter. Navigate to Transfers → Search the Transfer Market and start again.

"Your filter must have a max BIN price"

A sniping filter without a price ceiling would buy anything. Set a max BIN and it will start.

It stopped on its own

That is usually a stop condition doing its job — run time, searches, cards seen or cards bought hit the limit you set. The activity log says which one. It also stops on a CAPTCHA or a soft ban, which is deliberate: read why.

Still stuck?

Support runs in our Discord server — the invite is in your order email. Post there with your browser, the fcsniper version from the panel header, and what the activity log said.
