 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Road to the Final cards are live. We've got the content rolling. There's a lot of cool stuff that's a part of this promo, but it feels like we're stuck in between this is cool and this is an L. Or it's really a lot of people are describing Road to the Final as mid because a lot of the players aren't as good as we would have liked them to be. And of course, the content wasn't super great yesterday. But there are some parts that's Road to the Final promo that I think are pretty solid. And of course, since there's our live cards, we really are going to watch these prices over the next couple of days. And specifically this weekend on Road to the Final cards, because I believe some of them will be their cheapest point in the next couple of days where we would have an opportunity to invest for them to rise as we have the first upgrades coming this upcoming Friday on the 24th of February. We have got upgrades incoming for those cards that are deserving. So we'll take a look at that. And of course, there's a big flashback SBC that was not dropped yesterday. If it drops today, that could cause some waves on the market. So there's a lot to look out for and the refresh of that 86 plus mixed campaign player picks in half a day. We have a lot of market related stuff to talk about today. If you're excited for the video, hit the thumbs up. And if you're new around here, hit the subscribe button. First thing I want to talk about is the overview of this Road to the Final promo. And the way I want to do that is I want to go to EA's webpage that they released for Road to the Final and just kind of give you guys an overview right. We were looking forward to this information on this page. We actually didn't learn a ton from this from being completely honest. They have a nice little count up thing here for the players and how they are qualifying in terms of their matches and how they get their upgrades and the path that they're on. We were hoping for more information around the road to the final rewinds with like flashback SBCs and stuff. But really all EA said was special player items to come celebrating knockout shocks and comebacks from European nights as both SBCs and objectives. So I wonder if the the vandal beak that we had yesterday and objectives was a part of that. Now one of the coolest parts about this promo is the daily Road to the Final SBCs. Now this does not mean player SBCs because they said a themed puzzle SBCs and objectives on a daily basis. And if you see here on the menus it actually gives you on the news tab a bit of detail about this daily puzzle SBCs that chart Real Madrid's 21-22 Road to the Final. I mean if I'm being honest objectives were the biggest W yesterday in terms of the content because the vandal beak card being 3 star 3 star that's not the biggest dub out of all this it's usable it's really easy to get so fair play to EA on that one but we have this foot 23 Road to the Final objective where you complete the easy daily SBCs which hopefully are pretty easy which give you a pack every single time you do them and then in return you get an 84 plus times five at the end so a little bit more incentive EA likes to do this this year they drop an SBC link it to an objective to try to make you do that SBC even more I bet we're getting another one of those today so watch out today's SBC might be the three for the win right because it seems like it's probably going to go in that objective order right there now the other thing objectives that is nice is the last 16 cup and I like how they're integrating new promo cards into this cup there was an issue with the promo not registering Road to the Final cards but I believe that has been fixed there are some nice packs in here right play 16 and win 9 in the LFF or the live foot friendly I guess they're calling Road to the Final last 16 cup which of course to participate in the mode you do have to have a player from the Road to the Final squad UEFA or or Road to the knockouts player it can be a road to knockout player as well if the 16 chemistry you can play five matches a day so there's plenty of opportunity to get those rewards and get those packs so there's even an objective player inside of this Bryce Mendez which actually this card is already guaranteed to get an upgrade and we'll talk about this in the investing portion of today's video some of these cards that are already released on the game are already guaranteed to get upgrades in the Europa and the conference in competitions with the way that it set up but objectives yesterday were the biggest W and that's not really saying too much because it's nice but it's not insane the Diaby SBC we had yesterday this is just pace a pacey super sub with potential for upgrades lever Cusin actually lost their first game I believe it was to Monaco three to two so they have some comeback capabilities I suppose in the second leg they have to come back if this card is going to get upgraded but four star three star is not the best but it's just the pace right like 90,000 coins for a live card that could potentially upgrade it's cheap but it's kind of mid in the way that I look at it in the promo team as well we're going to go to footbed and take a look at this team at the moment I mean this promo team to me it's just mid right it's just okay there are some really nice cards in here with some really good upgrades but a lot of us were disappointed yesterday as a lot of these cards didn't feel like they were pushed up to meet the power curve or to just add super usable cards in this game where we're at right now three star three star umbrella we were hoping for an upgrade there now the counter thought to this is these cards are live right they're supposed to get upgrades on their own from their teams progressing in these tournaments but I mean EA could have helped them out a little bit more with some of the stats with some of the weak foot skill moves upgrades and stuff like that you know Marshall and Martin Elliott that's the other thing you can talk about the stats of these cards but the price of these cards are all over the place as well some cards I think are pretty good value like a tall for 200k with the CDM position change which is not is that normally on his gold card yeah it's not I don't know why they added CDM to a tall probably to add some hype but that's kind of a cool card you could run a tall and Tehran in the midfield from the future stars promo that Tehran card which I think is adding to the tall hype at the moment but this card is one that a lot of people have their eyes on I feel like he's really fairly priced but on the other end you look at like Marshall Marshall and Martin Elliott who are both incredibly expensive these prices don't make as much sense to me 900k for Martin Elliott I know he's got four star four star he's high high work rates he's got 95 pace it is a really good looking card I'm not downplaying that I just think the price there is pretty crazy so I think these cards are all on different levels at the moment some of them are pretty cheap but some of them are a bit overpriced for you know whatever reason maybe it's higher rated or maybe they're expected to get upgrades or maybe they're already guaranteed to get an upgrade but overall this promo team is just okay there are some nice cards here though it's kind of like we're in the middle and of course there's hype always with road to the final because these guys are live and they're upgrading but it doesn't make sense still that some of the prices are where they are and also I just feel like EA could have helped us out because the other part of this is EA told us the upgrade timeframe which was already leaked as well but they confirmed it we are not going to see the final form for these guys until after team of the season for those clubs that make it to the Champions League Europa League and Conference League final June 12th is the final upgrade even May 19th is the second to final upgrade so we have to wait a while for these guys to get the five star week foot to get the five star skill upgrades at the end right and of course the overall upgrades are exactly as we thought they were going to be you get plus ones for the first three then you get a five star week foot then a plus one and the five star skill moves for winning the whole competition so yeah these cards are just a little bit interesting we wished EA would have boosted them a little bit more now let's turn into the weekend of content what are we expecting today and talking about investing in these cards first of all the mini release potential there are four cards that will be in the mini release we believe Calvin Phillips is one of them right here he's the Manchester City player and a lot of people are asking questions like Nate where are these guys that are not representing where are like where's an AC Milan player you know where is our Manchester City player it's right there right Frankfurt doesn't have a player Benfica Brug like I don't know if every single club is going to be represented by a road to the final live card but hopefully just about all of them are with SBCs and maybe more objective cards coming out later on this week but this is the mini release either today on Sunday or tomorrow on or sorry today on Saturday or tomorrow on Sunday Calvin Phillips Tuta from Frankfurt Forsberg and who's the other one Felipe Anderson Felipe Anderson is not a card it's going to be coming in the mini release so that's not too bad there I think those are pretty nice cards and you know again hopefully EA can give them some nice boosts and get us some better stats there but you know a lot of people just looking this is a Nate this is like a fodder promo it just looks kind of mid and that's just kind of the feeling right now with all of these cards on this game besides a couple so that's just kind of how it goes right now but again mini release with those cards right there either today or tomorrow we never know what day it's going to be usually on Sundays but you never know and then let's talk about content today as well because there's a big flashback SBC that was leaked that's we think could be dropping today on Saturday which could shake some things up now today on Saturday as well we have got a big refresh of that eighty six plus campaign or whatever it was mixed campaign bag player pick this is refreshing today wait one day eight hours oh did they change this bro one day eight hours that should count us down until Sunday interesting this was like I'm sure this was set for Saturday before but the fact that says one day eight hours that would count us down to Sunday which is actually maybe that's glitch because that's like resetting in the middle of the night I don't know what's going on with this but originally this was set to refresh on today at content so be careful with this I don't know what's going on with that but that timer looks to be a bit off sometimes it's glitched in the the menus of FIFA I think this is coming back today though I do believe that's coming back today so watch out for maybe your 85s and your 83s because that was a pretty cheap player pick that a lot of people wanted to do but that should be refreshing today now the other SBC the only other player SBC that we have leaked it right now as I'm recording this this could change but a big time left back in this year yeah this is a FIFA card spin a Zola 95 pace predicted on the flashback a lot of people remember his winter wildcards from last year and he also had a end of the year shape shifters card that was insane with five star skills as well this would be a top two cereal left back in the game if he has dropped and of course we just had the Chris Smalling flashback so it would be great for Syria teams to get another left back other than tail Hernandez if this is a good value SBC it's going to have great links it's going to have a lot of demand for a lot of people to go into this SBC so seriously keep an eye on your Syria links people thought I thought this was SBC was going to be yesterday on Friday it wasn't I really believe it's going to be in the next couple of days in this game unless we have another leaked SBC looks like it could drop before this one today this is the only one that we have right now as I'm recording this video a little bit early on Friday today heading into Saturday so just watch out for that I invested even in a couple of Fajolis because I feel like that is a card that maybe goes up a little bit with this and again I'm really banking on EA Sports dropping a really good value SBC here for spin a Zola because this is one that I think would just have a lot of demand so watch your Syria cards I just think this has really good links anyway and I bought him for like 37 K so he hasn't moved that much hopefully he does I don't expect him to go that high but that's the type of card that could move other Syria Italian cards maybe some heroes like a Cordoba maybe a Bremer Dean Italian Marquisio those are all even Italian icons would be cards to watch with spin a Zola coming even somebody wrote to the final cards that are Italian as well like but Ella would be the one I would think of as well that could potentially be a good card to watch with that SBC coming I think that's going to move the market for sure if it drops today so watch out for that and the last thing for today would of course be that daily pack SBC right we had the late winter right so I would imagine there's going to be another one of these today that coincides with the objective now let's talk about the market let's talk about these road to the finals because like we said these prices are all over the place and as you look at these prices right now they might be a bit different from what you're seeing on the screen but for the timing of these cards I think back to the world cup live cards that we had earlier this year I think back to the path to glory cards especially from team two when this team to dropped people are not super excited about the content of the game the game was pretty not like dead but it was pretty quiet right the world cup was going on and we all know how the content was then but these guys absolutely exploded they exploded on the weekend on Saturday and Sunday they were their lowest into the middle of the week they went up big time and of course we had some pretty big content then at the end of the week I think it was like yeah late November there and then they went up even further of course as the upgrades were coming in but I think this sort of potential on cards this week is there with road to the finals I think that since these are live cards and the content unless it really starts to pick up I feel like these cards are going to have a lot of investors a lot of people wanting to buy them very soon and that means we have to watch these prices very carefully today on Saturday and tomorrow on Sunday now Saturdays we usually look for drop-offs in price on these cards and I think we're going to see that a little bit but I don't know how massive it's going to be on all of these like let's be honest a tall for 200 K how low can a card like this go because a tall is one of those that is already guaranteed the upgrade he is already guaranteed the upgrade because the way that it works for Europa League and conference league it doesn't show it in here but the way that it works for those is that if you qualify for the round of 16 you get an upgrade and guys like Martinelli a tall the Mendez card that is in objectives there's a couple others that are in the mini release as well I believe they have already they got the buy in the Europa League or in the conference league so they have already technically a qualified for the round of 16 but other teams haven't yet so when those other games happen later on this week and they finalize who all is going to be in the round of 16 you know I think those upgrades are going to happen and also a tall and Martinelli are going to get upgraded too so for guys like that there's a little bit of extra you know I guess more people that want to invest them because it's already guaranteed that he's going to be getting a boost and I think it's a tall card it's going to be one of the most popular cards this entire week to try out but also for people to invest in so 220,000 coins it's a very interesting price for this card right now he's about 220 I bought one at 250 in the first hour sold him at 280 he's now back down 92 pace with the CDM position change makes it a very interesting card for sure and there's a lot of hype there's also a lot of supply there for these cards but whether it's this guy like a tall or a Martinelli that you want to watch or maybe it's like you know Borrella because you know looking ahead to this week Borrella has a quote unquote easier matchup against Porto definitely not a pushover game none of these games are it's Champions League right it's the best of the best but take a look at some of the matchups for upcoming games this week and look for these guys that have a easier chance to get an upgrade right because for the Champions League cards they have to win for every team that on Tuesday or Wednesday this upcoming week gets a win that is the first upgrade for the Champions League cards and for the Europa League and the Conference League cards it is all about who moves on on aggregate score now of course it's easy right for the United game and Barcelona game right with that second leg it's all about who wins because whoever wins moves on to the next round so it's easy for those but just kind of look at those aggregate scores and teams that are already ahead in the Europa League cards for those competitions that matters right that probably is playing into their price right now also for upgrades down the line you know like you think of a Lucas more at the moment who is down in price maybe a little bit lower than what he could be because Spurs are losing right now on aggregate right they're one nil down so the potential for him to get upgraded is not super duper high so he looks like this is a really good price I think for a 94 paste Brazilian winger in the Premier League with really good dribbling a lot of pace not an insane card but a live card still and if there's a comeback that happens you know there's a lot of potential on cards like that we'll look at those maybe later on in a couple of weeks for when those games are but if you're going to invest in cards this week again focus on the ones that have games this week so if we're looking at the fixed years for the games that are happening on Tuesday Wednesday we've got Liverpool Real Madrid right two expensive cards with Alaba and Firmino you've got Eintracht Frankfurt and Napoli so watch for that Eintracht Frankfurt center back to be dropped in the game but also Napoli for Raspidori a lot of people are wanting to invest in this card and he's kind of like a cheap beast five star week four star skills really good stats his card was really cheap in the first hour yesterday and he's kind of exploded and he's also lower rated so a boost on his card would actually do a lot you would think the way that he would hopefully boost those cards so you know keep that in mind right so those are cards that I want to look at Wednesday we've got Inter we've got a Porto right Bodella for me is one I'm very interested in Manchester City we don't have anybody from them yet impacts Leipzig nobody impacts yet but I believe Forsberg and Calvin Phillips aren't coming so we get to watch these cards very closely over the coming days because I really do believe that we'll see some dropoffs on some cards today but some of them are probably going to near their lowest point and it's all about timing you heard me say it on the stream it's all about timing with the investment of these guys because once people start investing like we saw with the path the glory cards earlier on this year of guys remember when Bruno Gimenez was like 285,000 coins and boom you went to 370 like literally a couple days later like I'm not saying it's going to be this drastic on all these cards but it could be really drastic if the content is not that amazing on some of these cards the price spikes could be really really insane really fast so just kind of try to focus on the ones that have either the most and people the most people that are going to invest in them like I think people are going to invest in a tall like crazy I understand why you have to be very careful with it it's about timing for sure but there's a lot of height for these cards too so usable and of course hype when it comes down to the Road to the Finals but I think that time for us is going to be between today and tomorrow maybe tomorrow night on Sunday will be a good time it just depends on the content that's why I think one other aspect of this that I think EA is being very smart with this objective with the daily puzzle SBCs if they're dropping SBCs every day that means we have the potential for a daily pack supply every single day that could be tradable today's was tradable yesterday's was tradable if today's is tradable as well then that's almost like EA is trying to put a little bit of supply out every single day that would hurt the rises on Road to the final cards until we get towards the end of the week for sure so that's something to keep in mind with the timing these investments but they're live cards right and live cards have so much hype and so many people want to invest I think I mean I would give you guys the green light I'm probably going to buy some of these cards at some point this weekend I'm not going to be following the market super closely but I'm going to try to find some good prices where I can buy some of these guys whoever it may be put them I'm in a club in my transfer list and hopefully make some coins later on down the line so that's just a lot to say watch out for the Road to the final cards and I think we have to invest pretty early before we get to our first upgrade scenario coming at the end of this week and even for cards that don't get upgraded for a while like let's say you want to buy Lucas Mora let's say you want to buy Goretzka or Alaba I still would look at this week as probably a good time to buy them because since they're live cards you know they're probably going to rise up out of packs still as we normally see for cards of that nature in this game right Alaba yesterday I flipped I bought them at 925 in the first hour when he was super low he went all the way back up to 1.1 now he's coming back down again so yesterday was a good day to trade with those cards as well it's just going to continue into the next couple of days in this game now last thing I want to talk about is SBC Fodder really fast because yesterday with that 89 plus refreshing we did see Fodder rise 88's 32,000 coins a piece 87's a 24K 86's are about 18,000 coins if Fodder is lower than where back at like 15, 16K if 87's are down to 20 if 88's are back to like 30,000 coins flat or maybe even a little bit below that I would say you could go in on a Fodder investment late like early today on Saturday maybe or maybe late tonight Saturday night depending on where it's at I would imagine that's with the 86 plus refreshing today there's going to be some hype for Fodder on the game and there's still a lot of SBC's that could be coming out I think EA still has a lot of potential with again dropping on the game you know another icon pack or a hero pack as well this SBC is expiring on Sunday so another one of these probably coming out on Sunday I would absolutely watch the Fodder market because there will be opportunities to invest I think the night times are the best for that night time being like late night UK or early morning UK any time in between there and then whatever that is for you like it's evening time for me usually I pretty good time to invest in those Fodder cards because then you get into the content time and they start going up with the SBC hype so that's kind of the video for today guys let me know if you have any questions or comments down below I'm going to have a bit of a different video for tomorrow since I'll be away for a day it's just kind of looking at the whole market in general this time of the year and why it's actually an insane time to trade to kind of show you how I did it last year and talk about a lot of stuff but that's going to be the video for me today hopefully you helped you out a little bit with thinking about when to invest in some of these road to the final cards watch prices set some alerts on foot been if you have that and that'll help you out get some really good deals on these road to the final cards and hopefully be making some coins in the next week so if you enjoyed today's video again drop a thumbs up on it I will see you guys in a video tomorrow it's been Nathan from the count and catch you guys later peace out
