Michaël Essien

Michaël Essien (88 Base Icon) is listed at 1,169,000 coins, but the last 7 completed sales cleared at a median of 979,000. That is a 19% gap between what sellers are asking and what buyers are actually paying. Buy at the asking price and you would need the market to move 19% in your favour just to get back to level, before EA's 5% cut.

The card is reasonably slow: roughly 2 sales an hour, with 3 buy-now listings on the market right now. That is enough turnover for a price to mean something and for a position to be exited without waiting days.

At 1,169,000, it sits in the upper half of its own recent range of 822,000 to 1,039,000 — 73% of the way up. Neither extreme, so the range on its own is not making the case either way.
