 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have a huge Monday of content in store for us today inside of FIFA 22. Team of the Year Upgrade Packs are potentially arriving in the game today. I wanna talk about that, the SBCs that we could see and how this is really when Team of the Year starts for a lot of people, including myself, because upgrade SBCs mean potential packing of Team of the Years. A lot of people go out and spend tons of coins doing these upgrade packs just to try to pack some of the best cards that we will see all year. So we're gonna talk about that today and also look a little bit ahead into the week as a big SBC is on the horizon called Flashback Veran. And that is gonna be an SBC that I think really rocks the game. And I think it's gonna cause a lot of movements and a lot of people are going to want to do that SBC. There's a lot of hype around it. And we have confirmed stats as a leak for that Flashback Veran. So there are gonna be some leaks involved with today's video, of course, but a lot of what we're talking about today is related to the Monday content. And these brand new team of the Year Midfielders, which came out yesterday, and I think they're kind of cheap. Apart from Conte, who was extinct on PlayStation and he's now dropping down a price, you know, Georgino's like 1.5 million coins, KDB's like 2.3, 2.4 mil for first day prices. Again, as we've been seeing it throughout this whole team of the year promo, these cards are just pretty cheap. So if you're excited for content today and you're excited for this video, make sure to hit a thumbs up on it and of course, subscribe if you're new. A little bit of an update, TFA. I know a lot of you guys maybe have not heard this, but we've been talking about it in the Twitch live streams. I'm gonna be, the videos are gonna be basically slowing down a little bit this week because I'm going on a little bit of a vacation or holiday, as you guys may call it. It's been planned for like five, six months. I know it's bad timing because it's a team of the year, but family over FIFA, right? So we're gonna be going on that this week. So you might see a few less uploads. So that's just a little bit of heads up for you guys. There might be some phone videos. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll figure it out. And there's some schedule uploads that I recorded earlier, just talking about some stuff inside of FIFA as well. So there will still be videos, just don't expect the regular daily me sitting here in front of my screen doing all this. So that's just a little bit of a message so that you are aware. You won't see as much of me this week. We'll be back in the saddle to smash upgrade packs early next week, like Sunday, Monday timeframe, Monday for sure, we'll be smashing the upgrade packs and doing a lot of those. But let's get into the video today because part of the upgrade pack content that we have to talk about is dropping today on this game. And that's what everybody's excited for, right? Now we always know that upgrade packs come out with promos literally every single promo this year. They drop upgrade packs on Mondays. It's just kind of a known fact. And I don't think it's gonna be any different today with team of the year upgrade packs. Now it has been leaked and confirmed that these SBCs, the premium upgrades are going to be dropping. And if you guys remember, these are the 25K packs that are specific to players by league. So a premium Premier League upgrade and the premium league one upgrade, those are gonna be the most too popular upgrade SBCs that are gonna be dropping today. They're repeatable, right? People are gonna stack tens, 50s, hundreds of these to try to pack team of the year cards. Now what do they require, right? In the past for the last like three or four years of team of the year, the requirements have stayed basically the same. All they require for these SBCs are 11 gold rares. It does not require league specific gold rares. Now I know a lot of you guys may be out buying league one rares or Premier League rares, which I have no problem doing that. Rares right now on the market I believe are 800 coins. So they're pretty close. You know, they're not quite discard but they are decently cheap. A lot of people have started to buy these cards up in preparation for these SBCs to be out. If you wanna buy some ahead of time, I'm 100% I'm with that, right? If you're planning to do a lot of upgrade packs during team of the year, maybe you're not gonna open them today when they get released, but maybe you're gonna save them until you know the full team is in packs Thursday or Friday. It's 100% a move to go out on the market and especially as they're still running lightning rounds you know late Sunday night into Monday morning as they commonly do now with these big promos. You know, you see a lot of gold rares at discard price. Now the rares from the league one and the Premier League are inflated because there's people investing on the off chance. And when I mean off chance, I mean like they haven't required specific league rares for the team of the year SBCs for like the past three years, right? I know that in the fall, earlier this year for Black Friday they required the league specific rares but they have not done that for team of the year in the past few years. So hopefully they do not do that again this year but you know, at the moment I wouldn't be too afraid of that since it's been so consistent in the past few years with them not requiring it. But if you wanna stock your club with gold rares I think that's a great opportunity. Now let's talk about these packs a little bit, right? Which ones are people are gonna be doing? Well, it's kind of obvious, right? The whole entire team of the year is made up of Premier League and league on players, right? It's basically split. You know, how many Premier League players do we have? We have the De Bruyne, Georgino, Conte, Cancelo, Rubin Diaz. We have five Premier League players, maybe sixth with the inclusion of a Salah or Cristiano Ronaldo, 12th man. And then for league one, we have one, two, three, four, five. So it's crazy the split, right? You have like five league one, five-prem and then Lebedowski, that's your team in the year 11. So, you know, everybody's gonna be hammering these two different packs, right? There's really not a reason to do La Liga or Serie A but it's gonna be all about Premier League and league on which is fine, right? And I think that's why EA will not require league specific rares. I'd be surprised if they did. But one thing I'm gonna say is the league one does not have that many rare gold cards in it. So I would just be a little bit careful when you're spamming these SBCs and when you're opening a lot of these upgrade packs over the course of this promo, make sure that you're recycling, right? Like one of our rules of thumb is, let's say you open one of these league specific packs and you have like three or four duplicates, recycle that into another SBC, right? Put that back into another upgrade pack and don't just quick sell those cards. That can sometimes, I've packed a ton of team of the years on what we call recycle packs from turning in my duplicates into another upgrade SBC. You get a lot of extra packs doing that method and it can pack you team of the year. So that's all I'm saying is to be smart with those. And again, if you wanna start buying up some rares, be my guest because I think at some points right now, discard price, you don't get any cheaper than that and rares after these SBCs come out are probably gonna end up rising a decent way over, I would say a thousand coins. So if you can get them for less than 800 right now, I think that's a really great deal. A lot of people are excited for the league upgrade packs today on this game. Now other content people are gonna be very excited for today, it is rumored that we are getting another one of those 81 plus times 11 packs. Now the 81 plus times 11 for the attackers I believe has expired. Yeah, that SBC expired, but it is rumored and leaked that today we are gonna get the 81 times 11 for the midfielder. So for these Georgino, Conte and KDB items, it's gonna be another great pack that a lot of people are going to want to go out and do. Now the first time it was released, I believe it required like an 84 squad. It was like 30,000 coins to do this SBC. I think if they price it around that point again, that's gonna be a really, really good value SBC for a gamble, right? Yesterday they released the hero player pick, that SBC was like 75,000 coins, but an 81 times 11 for midfielders is gonna be another great SBC to go out and do. Now SBC fodder at the moment will probably rise even more. At the moment, it's not super crazy, but one thing to keep in mind is that the attacker SBCs so far, like when we had the 85 plus attacker, 83 plus attacker, those were always a little bit more expensive than the midfielder and defender SBCs. So there is a slight outside chance that they might not require like an 84 rated squad. They might require an 83 squad or something. So if you wanna stock your club with a couple 83s or 84s, I know that this stuff is already up in terms of where it has been. 84s just keep rising when we have these big SBCs every single day that people wanna go out and do, but I would really say to stock a couple, if you wanna do the 81 times 11 midfielder, is it supposed to drop today? I would make sure to stock up on a few fodder cards cause it will spike again when that SBC is released today. So just be careful about that. Another piece of Monday content that we might see is a Serginio Dest and you might be very confused on why this card is getting an item, but it's kinda similar to the Lucas Paqueta. I actually don't think that it's gonna be a team of the year item. I think it's gonna be like this card design, the moments item from a specific goal that he scored against Costa Rica. That is the leak. So I know that we were all wanting Danny Alves, but it looks like we might be getting this Serginio Dest instead. So just keep an eye out for a player SBC along the lines of a Dest. I don't know if that is today, but I mean, according to the timeline of the leaks, it should be pretty soon. And you've seen your links like Usman Dembele right mid or the young special card. Some of your Barcelona links have risen up in price due to this leak. So I think that could be today that's not confirmed. I just think it's probably gonna be coming decently soon. So keep an eye out for that as well on this market. That should be pretty much the full size of our Monday content, but it's gonna be a big day, right? It's gonna be so excited for the upgrade packs. Now again, as I mentioned, a lot of people are probably not gonna open these premium league upgrade packs that would be released on the game today. I'll be surprised if people were opening them up. I would not recommend opening because of course you only have three team of your cards in your own packs right now. What you would really wanna do is save those for the one the full team is out, which is right now looking like either Thursday or Friday. So again, that's just gonna be, today basically an SBC grind is going to open up. A whole new level of SBC grind. A lot of you guys know this, where you remember it from like even Black Friday, but specifically from team of the years past. This is just when people that love to open packs, this is when the game gets really, really fun. There's insane cards in packs that are really hard to pack and it's all about just trying to hit one of them and you can craft a ton of SBCs along the way and open a bunch of packs. It's just an absolute blast of a time on this game. So that's the biggest portion of the Monday content today for sure. Now yesterday, right? Let's roll it back a little bit and talk about yesterday. We've got team of the year midfielders out, De Bruyne, Giorginho and Conte. And very interestingly, these cards are, they're really cheap, man. I bought a De Bruyne today to try to flip and I'm in the mud because he kept going lower and this card is starting to bounce back. He was at like 228 at his absolute lowest. But me, I mean, we even knew these cards were gonna be cheaper than ever this year, but still seeing some of these first day prices is crazy, right? Conte was extinct at four million coins, which was honestly ridiculous. I know some of you guys, we were looking at this on the stream yesterday. The fact that Conte was extinct at four mil, even though he has a very rare card, was just ridiculous, right? Especially when you had Kevin De Bruyne on the market at like two and a half million coins and you had Conte extinct at four mil, that just does not make any sense for him to be that expensive. So just be careful with these cards. I feel like Giorginho is going to be the second or third cheapest team of the year. I think Cancelo might be a little bit cheaper than him once the defenders come out, but I gotta give credit where credit is due as well. These midfielder cards that EA released, they absolutely juiced the heck out of them. I mean, this Giorginho card going from an 85 rated up to a 97, he got like, what was the, it was like plus 33 pace, plus 33 pace. He got a four star skill, four star weak foot upgrade. I mean, this card has gone from nobody would ever use it in FIFA to an elite midfielder, one of the best midfielders in this game. So I'm excited to maybe pack this card. A lot of people were packing him from the 85 plus times three midfielder pack that they had saved up. So I know it's medium, medium work rates, which some people do not like, but that's a really, really great card. I really don't have any complaints on these midfielders. I'll be completely honest. I don't have any complaints on the boosts that they gave these cards. This Kevin De Bruyne as well, they gave him like plus, what was it like? Plus 13 defense or plus 12 defense or something like that to get him to that magic number of 80 defense, which is very nice. He got a plus six pace boost as well. So I'm very happy with this KDB card. I know that it's not like, you know, 97 or 98 rated, but that was just too much to ask for and too much to expect. But the fact that this card does have Hulet gang stats, of course with many stats in the 90s. I love the KDB boost. And again, Kante is very rare and very expensive right now. I'm actually a little surprised, but I think his price is gonna continue dropping because people were investing in him at four million coins. And, you know, now he's obviously not four million coins, which he never should have been in the first place. I mean, in my eyes, this Kante is like a two and a half million coin card. So give that some time. I think that'll drop off a bit more. But for whatever reason right now, he is very, very rare. So just keeping out on that card at the moment. But I like what they did, right? The cards are all great. The stats are fantastic. I'm a big fan of that. Now, that was one piece of content yesterday that didn't really affect the market too much, right? You take a look at your Mbappe team of the year, your Messi team of the year. These guys didn't really move. Mbappe is around the same price of like 7.9. Lewandowski's been around 1.7 to 1.8. Messi's been around 4.4 to 4.5. So they didn't really move too much yesterday with that content that was released. But what you did see was a lot of prices on the market, they did drop yesterday. A lot of prices on like meta cards kinda dropped yesterday because of this big SBC right here. It was the player pick for the foot hero, but it was non-repeatable. We were very surprised by this on stream when we looked at it yesterday because we were fully expecting this to be a repeatable player pick. Now, the upside of this SBC is that it's pretty cheap, right? 73,000 coins is a pretty cheap price for this SBC. But I think it would have impacted the market a lot more if it was repeatable. But the fact that it's 73K again is pretty cheap. You know, if you are not wanting to do this but you're gonna open packs during team of the year, my 100% recommendation to you would be craft packs during team of the year with your duplicate 83s and 84s. Slap him into that SBC. Maybe you can snag yourself a Cordova hero, Dina Talley or a Betty Pillay or maybe Robbie Keene if that's a hero that interests you. You know, there's a great opportunity there. So I mean, it's a WSBC for the price. I just, I'm a little confused on why it was not repeatable but it is what it is. We have the dog leash SBC, which right now looks decent. 1.1 mil, 1.17. His card on the market's around 1.3, I believe, 1.38. So that SBC looks like better value than it did right away. I still think it's a little bit overpriced, not much. But Figo looks pretty good too. If you wanted the Figo card in your club, you know, 620K, he was like 700K last week. Now with this SBC being less than 500,000 coins, EA is, their pricing icon SBC is a lot better than they have in the past. So dog leash and Figo, I got no problems with them. Maybe a tad bit. You know, we'd like to see them a tad bit cheaper because still it seems like prime icons just continue to lose value on this market, on this game. Now the other big W from yesterday was a 50K pack available from this daily challenge to SBC. 5,000 coins you have to pay for an untradable 50K pack. That's a tremendous dub. Make sure you're getting this SBC done. 5,000 coins for a 50K pack. I mean, what else do I need to say? That's an incredible, incredible W. But that did drop the market a little bit in some places because everybody was going out and doing the hero SBC. Couple cards that I saw go down in price. Some of your mid to low tiers. Take a look at this Morales card, right? 56K, his drop yesterday is pretty evident, right? 68,000 coins down to 56K. Another card that went down a decent amount was the Collins Centerback item, which the Winter Wild Cards, Namedi Collins. Yeah, 77,000 coins. I'm pretty sure he dropped about 10K. And a lot of this stuff, since it was a Sunday, a lot of it hasn't rebounded that well. Some cards went down and then rebounded back up a little bit. I bought some Rutiger. Yeah, I bought some Rutiger's in the 270 range and he's back up to like 295. I was hoping with the Georgino and Conte links that there's not too many Chelsea items that people would wanna link to him. So he's up a little bit, which is nice. But a lot of stuff yesterday on the market dropped and then didn't rebound too much. Even the heroes, right? A lot of these heroes, since the player pick was non-repeatable, a lot of the heroes they dropped before the SBC and then went back up afterwards. Cordoba went from 370 to 420 because the SBC was non-repeatable. And I think that there were so many people waiting for heroes to drop. And when the SBC came out and it was non-repeatable and it was really cheap, it didn't affect the market in the way that we thought it was going to. So that's why you saw heroes rebound a bit on the market yesterday. One also interesting thing that I wanna point out is, one, these Serial heroes, Cordoba and Dina Tali, whenever there's hero upgrade packs or something like this on this game, they impact the market big time. Serial special cards exploded yesterday, which I really think was linked to Cordoba. And Dina Tali, take a look at Teo Hernandez. He was like 220K, 216, up to 255, he's 245 right now. Another good example is this Federico Chiesa. He went from 160K in the Panic Cell, low price of 160. He ballooned all the way back to 190 and is kinda now back down to 180. So like a bunch of these cards, Spinazola, Winter Wild Cards was 140,000 coins, I think. Yeah, he was like 150, 160K. He spiked all the way to 200. This was solely because people were packing cards from that hero player pick, going out and trying them out and having to link them and buy a few cards to link them in their teams. So that was kinda crazy to see on the market yesterday as well. So that's kinda what's going on in this game right now. We gotta look in the future a little bit, all right? We gotta look in the future a little bit because there is a big boy SBC that is coming. And I think this is the next big SBC on this game that is going to rock this game and honestly rock the market as well. And it is this Flashback Veron. Now believe it or not, these are confirmed statistics for a Flashback Veron SBC. Confirmed statistics. He's gonna have 88 pace, 93 defense, 90 physical. That is insane, right? That is an insane card with the French links with the GGMU hype. This SBC is going to wreak havoc on this game later on in this week. I think it's gonna be dropping on Thursday or Friday. So just keeping out for that, we'll probably talk again before that happens. But that's crazy. That is a crazy SBC that's gonna be dropping. I honestly think that based off of some of the other expensive centerbacks that are in this game, I mean you look at another prem centerback that has a lot of hype like Van Dyke does, or sorry, Veron. I think that centerback is Van Dyke, right? And Van Dyke's headliner's item is like 700 something thousand coins. Now he's up a little bit because he had a goal performance in a Liverpool match, and this card's really rare. But if you look at this item and you look at the Veron card, I could really see that Veron SBC being anywhere between 800, and I'll say it, a million coins. Because they know, EA Sports knows that that Veron card has a ton, a ton of hype. And people are going to be crafting that SBC and so many people are gonna wanna do that card because of just the links that it provides, how OP and how insane he is gonna be in game. I mean, so many people have used gold Veron, and gold Veron is still very usable in this game right now, but the fact that they're gonna give this dude such an insane boost, right? 88 pace, 93 defense, 90 physical, 76 dribble, 72 passing with all the links that he gets. So many people, you're gonna see so many Veron flashbacks in your weekend leagues upcoming. Everybody's gonna have it in their team. It's gonna be like another Fakir SBC or another type of Benzema flashback type vibes. I'm not even kidding. So your French links are gonna be more OP than ever in the coming days. Center backs on this game are probably gonna drop because people are gonna go out and do Veron and put that card in their teams instead of using maybe some of the other cards that they might use in their team at the moment. So just be aware that that SBC is leaked to be coming and it's gonna turn this game upside down. It really is, that's a huge SBC. So whenever that does drop, just be on the lookout. And you know, I even have some still, I still have some freds from once to watch freds I still have on my transfer list here that I got at like 230,000 coins. A lot of these links to the Veron SBC are very, very heavily invested in. So I would just be a little bit careful with these. I'm kind of watching this fred and if you rise this back up, if he hits like 270, right now he's like 250. If he hits 270 before the Veron SBC comes out, I'll probably take the cash and sell because that would just be a little bit too high for me. But again, that Veron card, especially if EA puts that SBC out for like 10, 12 or more days so that it's very craftable with upgrade packs and over amount of time, the amount of completion you're gonna see in that card is gonna be nutty. So just keep an eye out for that on this market I think later on this week. So yeah, boys, today on Monday is gonna be an insane day. You're gonna have the upgrade packs, the 81 times 11 and you're probably gonna have, I think that the desk SBC would be either today or tomorrow, I could see it being tomorrow on Tuesday because that's the drop of the defenders. Now we did have the Paqueta that was on Saturday and it wasn't yesterday when they dropped the midfielders even though this is a midfield card. So that's a bit interesting, but desks should be very soon, Veron should be in the near future and again, the hype is gonna be with all the upgrade packs and that 81 times 11 today on this game. So it's gonna be a hype week on FIFA, it really is. It's team of the year and I'm bummed that I'm not gonna be completely around for it but I'll be following from afar. Make sure you get involved with the links that are down below. I'll be tweeting out a little bit on Twitter if you kinda wanna follow along with my journey over the next week or so and we'll still have a few uploads so make sure you get tuned in for those and always if you tweet it or if you pack a team of the year, not tweet, if you pack a team of the year, tweet me. That's what I'm trying to say. If you pack a team of the year, I wanna see it, right? Show me a screenshot of the team, show me a screenshot of the pack. I love that stuff, right? Because right now we're just all trying to pack a team of the years. So this market is very healthy, I will say as well. A lot of coins, great opportunities to trade and we're gonna talk about with how to make some coins in this current market with all these new cards coming in and out. There's gonna be great opportunities to trade. So a video like that's gonna be coming on the channel very soon for you guys as well. But if you enjoyed this video of course, smash thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you are new. I'll be seeing you guys soon, it's been Nathan Ford Accountant, I'll catch you guys later. Peace, out.
