 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. Road to the Final Team number one is here. We got all the content yesterday, a crazy amount of market movements to talk about, cards that are expensive, cards that dropped off a bunch, pack supply, impacting the market, and tons of stuff to talk about today on a little Road to the Final market review, promo review video on the channel today. This is what happens often on the day after a promo drops. We usually like to take in and talk about the content that was released, Objectives, SBCs, the new team that's in packs, how it affected the market, and what we could even see going forward. Later into today, in the day on Saturday, right? Saturday's a big week-in-league day for a lot of people. Usually there's more SBCs and content on day two of the promo, and of course, the start of the week-in-league sell-off. As people finish their week-in-league games, stuff on the market usually tends to drop off, so we'll be talking about that today. But first things first, let's talk about the new promo that we had today. There's one thing that I want to point out. We'll look at the team in a second and talk about that. But there's one interesting part about the webpage that EA released today. Normally what they do is they release a webpage with the promo, and I don't know if any of you guys notice, but we do not have any Europa League road to the final cards yet in FIFA. It's only Champions League road to the final cards, and here it says, stay tuned for additional UEFA Champions and Europa League-themed content throughout the campaign. So this is actually something that a foot economist who works at EA Sports, tweeted out today, he highlighted this sentence and said, since there's no Europa League cards, just the heads up, there's something coming, and he kind of pointed to the sentence as the proof of that. So of course, road to the finals, they get upgraded the same, they get a plus one upgrade from right now, the event launch, two qualifying for the knockout stages. So really all we're worried about in the short-term timeframe is that event launch to qualifying for the knockout stages, because if we take a look at the UCL schedule, there aren't a lot of games in the next couple of weeks. This is something that we need to kind of get in our minds, and of course, we have November 24th as the next matchday. We have December for matchday five, December 1st, and then the week after that, I believe December 8th. So we have to wait, these cards are not gonna get upgraded until around the December 8th timeframe, because that would be when they would qualify for the knockout stage, and they would get into that next round of the Champions League. So that's when our first upgrade is going to happen. Same thing for the road to the final cards, they're Europa League, the event launch will happen, they'll qualify for the knockout stage, and they will get that first upgrade. So just kind of keep in mind that these cards are gonna get updated right away, although they are live items. And again, this is the team, Rashford, Griezmann, Alfonso Davies, and Salah and Klostermann, I would say, Zecharia as well, headlining the team from today. A very interesting set of cards, right? Griezmann, Rashford, very hyped up, Salah is a cool big name card, but I think a lot of people were expecting more. I think a lot of people in this game were expecting bigger names to be released today. I myself, you know, we talked about a Gabriel J. Zeus that was possibly coming out. There were a lot of names that were thrown out with this promo, and I think the card selection so far this year, and a lot of the promos that we've had has just been a little bit lackluster, which is unfortunate. So hopefully the SBC content and the objective content kicks it off and continues to keep it going because the in-packs cards, I think we could have had a better set of players in-packs today, so I'm a little bit disappointed in the actual card selection, and I do think a lot of the cards are overpriced at the moment. We'll talk about that in a bit, but I want to cover the SBCs and objectives that came today. We got a Mason Mount, rode to the final SBC. It is a bit expensive, and of course, if you do think about this, this Mason Mount card's probably gonna get upgraded because Chelsea will probably move onto the knockout stages, right? So you're paying an 83 and an 85-read squad for this card right now, who's gonna get upgraded to an 85 in about a month's time, and is that really worth it for you? Is it gonna be worth it at the end of the year? Most likely not, I really don't think so, but if you're a Chelsea fan, that's a cool card collector's item right there. I just don't think this card is that, like Metta and FIFA, it doesn't have that much hype. We also got a Player of the Month today. We had the LaLiga Player of the Month with Miquel or YorzaBall. It is a decent-looking card at the face level, but when you dig inside, you see the three-star, three-star, it just doesn't cut it for a lot of people. I know some people will do this SBC. He's not a terrible card. He honestly looks like a really decent center-attacking mid-high-medium work grade to be decent for that. Boost-up is long-passing and is short-passing maybe a little bit. He does not have the finesse shot trait, but he has outside foot shots. So that SBC is pretty cheap. I think it's like 60K, and we'll talk about SBC fodder today as well because SBC fodder is pretty expensive because of the pack supply that came today. And one last thing, of course, how can we forget this? Probably one of the best objectives we've gotten so far just for the potential that this card could be. A lot of people like this guy for his gold card as a starter team item early in the game this year. He had a really, really good-looking card that was low-rated, and people use them in a lot of their teams. Now he is on Sevilla, and Sevilla right now is looking like they're in a good spot to be able to transition and get upgraded. So it looks like this card is going to get upgraded, and he will go from an 82 to an 84. So that first upgrade is probably going to contain some plus three, maybe even some plus four statistics for this card. A lot of people are going to be doing this SBC, and this is big for the market too because it, again, the thing that we've seen in the past couple of FIFA's is that EA loves to give out special French cards, whether it's SBCs in the promos and objectives now. We've had so many French items available in the game even so far. We've already had Mookie LA as a right back. Now we have this Kunde card. So this is really going to impact French cards on the market even more as they've already started to rise up in price. And it could hurt some other center backs in this game as we head out of the Weekend League as people go and complete this objective. Maybe guys like on a lower end, possibly somebody like a Umtiti card if he's inflated at all. Diego Carlos could be impacted by Kunde, and of course, Leng Lei could be another item that is impacted by this card. But this is the biggest W of the promo and my opinion is this objective card coming out. So let's talk about the market. What happened today? Now I'm going to start with my transfer list just to kind of talk you guys through what I did today. So I have about 1.6 million coins this morning. I still have a couple of cards selling. And I bought all of these Zahaz and both of these Firminos this morning. I bought these Firminos at 220,000 coins and these Zahaz at 215 to 220. They all sold at 240 to 247. And what happened here was, usually in the past couple of weeks with promos coming out, we haven't seen a lot of panic selling. What that means is people know there's a promo coming. There's new promo cards coming out. So they sell cards in the morning before the content drop at 6 p.m. UK time when the new cards come out. And basically they just have their coins ready whether they're going to open packs like a lot of people did today or they want to be ready for new SBCs or they just want to try to buy one of the new cards. But in fact, what happened today was none of the new cards that came out like it is almost every week with every promo. None of these cards were affordable and there just wasn't that much hype there. So a lot of people ended up buying those cards back just to take a quick peek at some of these informs that we were looking at this morning. Roberto Firmino, who I bought at 220, he was 220 for just a really small amount of time this morning. He's actually kind of dropping back down right now. 230, I'm going to snag that. I'm going to snag that because I think I'll be able to get upwards of 250 again for that card with a Hunter Kem style as well as we've rise up into the day on Saturday. But this guy was 250 for most of the day this afternoon. And again, the biggest riser of the day was there was so much panic selling on this Marcus Rashford inform because people thought that he was getting into the team. And he did end up getting in the team today into the Rota Final Squad. But the card, this card was down at 675,000 coins earlier today. And now he's back up almost 100,000 coins through 780K. So a big bounce back on this card because of its rarity and the position change, strike your position change, but then you can move as you see here to center mid and cam, which helps a lot for squad building and links. So that's why this card bounced back so much today. There are a lot of cards that bounce back out of packs, special cards are the number one thing. And this is something to learn if you didn't buy anything today or if you were hesitant to buy something out of packs, informs and special cards are the number one thing to buy on a promo Friday. It works most times rather than not that they actually, people sell them because they're afraid of the new content that is coming. But what they end up doing is buying those cards back for their teams and they rise back up the price. This St. Maximum was 330K this morning. Inform Team Overnor was 350. Inform, who was a inform. Oh, what is his name? Inform from Real Madrid, the Valverde. Inform Valverde was 280,000 coins and he's now back up well over 300K, I believe. He was like 310 at one point. He might not be there now, but he was 310K at one point. He's still chilling right now above 300K. So there were some definite flipping opportunities and there was a lot of stuff that related to the packs. Now I want to talk about what happened to the gold cards today too, and especially to some of the informs that I had shouted that I said like, Jalph Felix, I recommended him. Jalph Felix had a crazy amount of overinvesting today and that is something that we can't control ourselves. So I want to talk through that situation as well. We didn't talk about their pack weights. These guys, 1.3% out of a 50K pack means that these guys are going to be pretty rare. This is the same pack probability and percentage that the Road to the Final Set 2 cards had when they were in packs last week. Well, last half of week, but these cards are going to be pretty rare. The only thing that's different about these Road to the Final cards is, and we haven't actually looked any of them up on the market. So let's start doing that. One thing that's different about these cards is, well, first of all, we can't actually search them by car type, EA Sports, please. Let us search them by car type for goodness sake. Like it's literally impossible to find them unless you use the special filter, like old FIFA times, but these cards got a lot of pack supply today from saved up packs and that's why you saw a lot of these cards actually bounced back because this Griezmann card right now is chilling at about 700,000 coins just under 6.85 for this Griezmann. He was 100K cheaper today around two to three hours after the promo dropped. He was very cheap. So was a guy like Davies, Davies who has dropped back down now. And by the way, I know sometimes what we do with these cards on Friday nights into Saturdays is we try to kind of risky flip them. We try to buy them low and then resell them higher as the UK wakes up on Saturday morning. I don't think I'm gonna be doing the overnight flips with these cards this week because some of them have gone up and I just don't know where the hype is on a lot of these cards and I don't like the prices. So I'm gonna be staying away from that but icons are still a good flip if you're looking for something to do. But these cards got packed a lot today and so did the gold cards in the first 30 minutes. I don't know if you guys were on the market during that time, but there were so many undercuts and so much panic selling in the first 30 minutes of the market today. It was incredible. It honestly was incredible. You had guys like Hyunmin Sun who were 160,000 coins before the content drop on Friday. This guy was all the way down to about 129,130K. He literally dropped like 30, 40,000 coins like this. And the reason we knew that was the panic of pack supply coming onto the market and people were opening their safe packs is because when you went onto the game and you searched at those cards that were popping up, they all looked like this. They were all first owner, tradeable, zero games played and that is a perfect picture telling you that you know somebody just packed that card and they're listing it up and they're trying to get coins for it, right? That's what you know when you see that. A basic chem style and you click into the card, you see first owner, tradeable, no games, that means they just packed it and they're selling it. And there was tons and tons of undercuts today. And last week, one thing that I mentioned was, I thought this was gonna be a period in the market where we might see a time, this weekend might be a time where we see a lot of gold cards really take a hit in price and I think that is gonna happen this weekend. So if you have gold cards in your team, I know they're actually down some already, like sun is down from 170 into the 150s. Martial was like 140, 130s all week and is now down to the 120s. He was like 110 during all that supply at 6 p.m. yesterday, 6 p.m. UK, when the packs were opened. So I think these cards, all that supply came onto the market from people opening packs at the same time, that's just gonna make these cards drop lower out of the week and they sell off. If you have gold cards that are kind of 83 to 85 rated, I'd be very careful with those if they're in packs right now. Rashford's different because he's out of packs but even a guy like Joe Gomez, I'd be kind of careful with those right now because I do think they can drop off a decent amount, especially if they're not super duper meta, like an Usman Dembele to me is gonna drop off a lot this weekend. He's already dropped off a lot in the past couple of weeks and he's even down some today, it looks like. But I think a guy like this really starts to drop off this weekend, he's 30K. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy's in the mid to lower 20s. It's possible, right? Now, could it not happen? I guess it could if there's people that are very confident if we don't get a lot of good content this weekend in terms of SBCs that people would drain their coins into or whatever. But I expect to see a pretty hefty weekendly sell-off from all the stuff that's happening this weekend. One thing I do wanna touch on, right? Joao Felix. Now, I mentioned I would kind of speak on what I think's gonna happen today on the market on Saturday. Honestly, I think it's gonna be a pretty normal Saturday. I think we're gonna see some cards rise up a little bit in the morning time. This Joao Felix is up about five to six K right now. He's actually up almost 10 K. Yeah, Joao Felix is rising at the moment. This guy was just 148, 150,000 coins. He was invested in a lot. There's a lot of people that I think thought this card was gonna be a buy at lightning rounds or not lightning rounds, but promo pack supply. And they thought he would rebound after that. He in fact got over-invested. So there were so many people buying him up at like 160 to 170. And now he's actually getting back up after getting panic sold back down to 140. He's now back at 157. So I wouldn't be surprised if this guy bounces back up a little bit into the day today, but I would still probably get out of that kind of card. Before 6 p.m. UK on today on Saturday is probably what I would target a time. If you really wanna sell your cards for your team, it might be a safe time to do so. That's around the time where I do think you might see the market start to sell off again. Now this is a card he was extinct at 300 and went all the way back down to 225, 230. And it's now back up to 250. I would be careful with this as well. I know on Xbox right now he's like 210 to 220 and I just don't see how this card, how there's that big of a price gap. Being extinct at 300,000 coins and being on Xbox at 220 earlier before the price range update happened on PS4 was an easy sign to me that this card was overvalued. This might rise up a little more in the morning, but I do think it drops down after that with the pack supply and with just the fact that I feel like this card might have been a little overpriced anyway to begin with. So, road to the final prices today should probably drop off into the evening. I don't think they're gonna be like an investable price yet. I would expect them to keep dropping off a little bit more and then for the rest of the market out of packs gold cards, some icons and also out of packs informs, not really out of packs gold cards, in packs gold cards like Hazard, Sun, possibly in Bapé, players that we use a lot like Varan, like Mendy, Alan, Timo Verner, Abomying. I would expect a lot of those cards to drop off and start the weekend like sell off into the night today on Saturday. And then I do think you will see the market kind of downturn because usually what we see is Friday night and Saturday morning are the two peak times each weekend for the market. And then after that, there usually is a lot of selling as we head into the squad battles period. I'll talk about squad battle rewards tomorrow night and I'm really gonna watch the sell off tomorrow because I think it might start to get kind of extreme later in the day if people are finishing their footchamps games early. So that's kind of my feeling and my take on the market right now at the moment. Let me know what you guys think about the content that was dropped today. If you're trying to make some coins right now in this game, icon flipping is decent. You can get a little bit risky if you want to by flipping some of these road to the final cards. You know, guys like last week, Rashford might get panic sold into Saturday at 6 p.m. UK, the content drop time, but then he might rebound back up. Same thing with Salah. I know they're very expensive, but it happened with Kane and it happened with Lukaku and Tashara last week on Saturday is they got panic sold into 6 p.m. because people think they're gonna drop but then people buy them back. And since they're really rare and really meta cards, you could definitely catch that happening on maybe a Davies, Rashford, Salah, possibly Klosterman. We will see how the market continues to value these cards as we head on through the day today on Saturday. It's gonna be an interesting one, right? But I'm curious to see how much this market wants to sell off because I think there's a lot of people that open saved up packs, blasted the market with supply all at one time and then a lot of people are gonna wanna sell those cards especially if we get a good SBC content player today which I do think is a possibility. So watch out for that content today. If you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you are new.
