 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Happy Monday, start of the new week and the continuation of the first week of Foot Birthday with hopefully some upgrade packs coming today as it usually is on Mondays. We get upgrade packs. And today we're specifically hoping for one type of upgrade player pick, the 81 plus with three options. And we have some good news that history is on our side with that SBC, the exact same one dropping last year on the first week of Foot Birthday. So we hope for that upgrade SBC today, I'll talk about that in other content we might see today on the game. And as well as just again, chat about Foot Birthday content in general with the SBCs, the swap tokens that are coming out like multiple per day since they're dropping 24 tokens over a two week period, right? They're gonna have to drop tokens a lot and they have been. And then also talk about the player SBCs, the mini-release that we had yesterday because the content honestly seems especially for the player SBCs, it seems a little bit dull. And I wonder if the fact that the swaps program is out that we have had some other, like the icon, prime icon upgrade yesterday is kind of glossing over the fact that the player SBCs that we have had so far and Dombele and Frederick specifically have not really been that good in terms of the stats on the cards. Yes, they're interesting. I think both of these were overpriced and not good enough statistically. Megatarian's the only good one that we've had so far in my opinion. So we'll talk about that today and the market because I think with the content being a little bit lackluster, but still a lot of lining rounds and a lot of supply coming on the market, this market does have some coins. And I think that you could see a bit of a market rise today after a week in league rewards time frame. So we're gonna talk about all of that today in the video. So if you're having fun during foot birthday, make sure to leave a thumbs up on this video and of course, subscribe if you're new. Let's start with today. And we're gonna start with today's content on Monday. Now Mondays have been upgrade pack days for like all the promos that we've had throughout this whole year of FIFA 22. Now again, like I mentioned, everybody wants upgrade packs during foot birthday because if you look at the team, Ronaldo, Suarez, Cruz, Grealish, NunoMans, Allen, there's so many cards that are in this team with the inclusion of the mini-release yesterday and specifically this Odegaard who looks incredible, which I bought a bunch of this guy when he got cheap earlier today and like a 480,000 coin range. He's coming back down a little bit. He was 550, but five-star, five-star lean body type. Everybody is super excited about this card because he looks cracked in game from the mini-release yesterday. But the point here is that people are gonna wanna spam upgrade packs for especially the Ronaldo, right? But the just five-star skill, five-star weak foot, insane nature to these cards, people are going to wanna spam upgrade packs to try to pack these cards. Now again, we've had the 80 plus upgrade with a three-player option. We've had the 81 plus player pick with a two-player option. Now last year during the first week of the birthday we had the 81 plus player pick with a three-player option. So that is what we are hoping for today. That would be the player pick that would make everybody happy. If we get anything other than that, I think people might be a little bit disappointed. Maybe if it's an 80 plus player pick it's really cheap with maybe four options or something like that and that would be pretty dope. But if it's not a player pick and it's not at least 80 plus or 81 plus, some people are gonna be disappointed for sure. But I think that's just gonna be, whatever the SBC is for an upgrade SBC, so many people are gonna wanna go out on the game and get involved with that today as a part of content. Now the only problem with that is, yes, they're gonna be doing it to try to pack cards, but what SBCs would you craft right now, right? The mid icon player pick is still out but now we have icon moments where it's like, yeah, okay, this is decent but we have icon moments that you see out in the game like why do I wanna do an SBC to get a mid icon? We have a prime icon upgrade which is not that expensive that we saw yesterday which we thought was gonna get re-released and it did. But then after that, if you craft those things what else is there to do? Fredericks and Dombele who is overpriced and honestly not that great of a card. I mean, I know they gave him the five star weak foot, they should have given him five star skills but he has really sick dribbling and other than that the card is just not really that good for the stage of the game. Yes, I know it's a league one midfielder. I know some people are really liking the card because it feels good in game. I just think there's a way better way to spend your coins unless you have a ton of fodder and you love this guy. He used to play for Spurys. I should be wanting to do this SBC but I really don't because the card just does not look that good. My point is though, EA needs to drop more SBCs. Yes, we might be getting the upgrade packs today but what else are people gonna go out and actually craft besides the icon upgrades? We need better player SBCs and I hope that we get another good one as a part of today's content but as the leaks look, we have another leaked player that could be dropping as an SBC today or at least in the coming days, the stats don't look very good. Here's our next leak, right? Declan Rice, which could be a really, really cool card but EA, when you give him these stats, this looks like a center back stat line, not a center defensive mid stat line, 80 paced, 91 defense, 88 physical. This needs to be like 85 paced, 90 defense, 90 physical, up the passing, up the dribbling to make it really, really exciting and probably what they're gonna price it at. Like this is gonna probably be expensive like Foot Sheriff says here in links to Fredericks, which no one completed, right? Cause the card is just not that great. So it seems like we've kind of gone backwards from last year where I mean, look, last year we had the Podolski SBC, like look at those stats, right? 90 paced, 92 shooting, those were insane. The Ozil last year was really a cracked card. The Rodrigo Palacio was a really good card last year, the Vidol, the SBCs that we had last year were so much better in terms of player cards than what we've seen so far. So hopefully EA turn it around and start putting out some good players because as of right now, I feel like that's the worst part of the promo so far is the player SBC content. Now they've released one every single day so far and I would hope and maybe they're gonna continue that trend and maybe they'll get better. The one thing I'll say though is whenever we see stuff like this, it's not like EA is doing it just to try to make you to spend extra money to get a Fredericks SBC done or to get it in Nabila and they know what they're doing with this, right? They know that right now the SWAPs program, they're putting out a ton of hype into that. They just released a bunch of cards in the packs and it seems like they want us to focus on the SWAPs program and maybe some of the objectives and the cards in packs and I think maybe they're holding out some of that better SBC content until later on. So if you're doing upgrade packs today, save that fodder, right? If you're doing the player fix, whatever comes out today, just hold onto that fodder. Don't feel like you have to do an SBC even if it's sitting in your unassigned. I have two 83s I think right now in my unassigned. Yeah, I could probably just discard them but I'm just gonna wait until I get an SBC, right? I like to be stingy like that a little bit and I would just recommend that you guys honestly be a little bit like that too, right? Wait for better SBCs until they come out or something that you wanna do, especially when you're opening those player picks that we would expect to come today. So that's kind of what's going on with the SBC section of the market. Now, I don't even know if they dropped another objective yesterday. Foot birthday, let me sort by new milestones. Oh yeah, I got my first thing done from the foot birthday tour in 81 times three. So they might drop another objective today. They're continually dropping these swap tokens. I think we're up to seven tokens that have been dropped so far in total. I would imagine that we would get another one or two today, probably the foot 15, right? Since we had foot 14 yesterday, foot 15 is probably gonna be today and then I would assume another token somewhere else is going to be dropped somewhere in the game as well. So that's just kind of something to watch out for as a part of today's Monday content. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure what else is gonna be dropping today unless EA have a surprise like Gamble Pack SBC for us. There's nothing new that's been added to the code as far as I know. So we will have to see what goes on with that. Now, let's talk about the market and stuff like this too because these constant lightning rounds are impacting the market a lot and there's a real, there's a big mix right now. It's kind of a jumbled mess on the market, right? You have some people that seem to be very hyped for foot birthday content and they're selling some cards because there are some out of pack specials and look at this Mbappe, dude, Mbappe 700K. He is down 100,000 coins from last, like literally a week ago, he's down 100,000 coins and I don't understand why this is being panicked sold right now apart from the fact that people are just genuinely excited for the foot birthday cards that are in packs and maybe they're selling these types of cards to try out these brand new items with a five star week foot, with the five star skill moves and stuff like that. Now, some of the market also has not moved. You take a look at some road to the finals, right? There's big hype for road to the final cards with their games this week and the potential upgrades that you have. That's why I'm saying the market's kind of all over the place, right? I bought Amara's yesterday for 927,000 coins. He's literally up almost 100K. Now, I think there's a bit of, there's a bit of IRL hype involved with this too. The Manchester City Cards rose a bit yesterday and the Manchester United Cards dropped a little bit. If you guys were wondering what in the world happened to this road to the final Alex Tellez, I literally just think this card dropped in price because Manchester United fans were not happy with that game and maybe their performance yesterday makes them less likely to believe in this team in next week's Champions League game against Atletico Madrid. I'm not sure. I wouldn't read into that too much. Honestly, what I see this as is an opportunity to buy this Tellez at a cheaper price. He was down at 215 post game yesterday after the City United game. So honestly, that game, although you could say that it does affect the Champions League performance a little bit, it doesn't affect this card at all. There's no left-backs from the prem that are leaked to drop his SBCs. So this card in the low 220s is not a bad buy for me because he's literally down like 30,000 coins. He was 250 before that and he was down under 220 earlier. So that was kind of crazy there. But again, it's just these foot birthday cards that's got everybody hyped, right? Like I mentioned, the OdaGuard, I think a lot of people want to try this card out. So maybe some of your Premier League links will do decent. This OdaGuard is dropping, he was 550 and now he's coming back down because they're running lighting rounds right now again. He was down at 480,000 coins and I picked up like, I'm not even kidding, I think I picked up 10 of them. I went like almost 5 million coins in this OdaGuard because he has so much hype and he's really rare. So that's part of what I might expect today after a week in the rewards would be a little bit of a rise on the market because again, like we mentioned, there's so much focus on the cards that are impacts. I think that you might see some cards get really low this morning on Monday, maybe around the week in the rewards timeframe, stuff like that. Like take a look at Tony Cruz. This guy is like under 700K. Yeah, 697 and they're sitting a full hour on the market at 700,000 coins. These late night or maybe early morning lighting rounds and the footchamps rewards supply coming in. Some people are probably gonna go out on the market and say, hey, I wanna buy some of these cards and go try that out. Allen is 715K again. We saw a huge price drop offs yesterday. We're seeing some more drop offs today. Christiane Ronaldo, his foot birthday card is 4.8 mil, I believe at the moment or just under 4.9. So he has dropped down, yeah, 4865. He has dropped down a price. I would imagine that some of your foot birthdays today would rebound after the rewards time period. So again, you just kind of have to work off of what is hype, right? So people are selling their golden boppy. Some of the other out of packs cards you're seeing some selling on, but I think today after rewards, you might see a couple of those foot birthdays pick back up. You could see some out of packs cards pick back up as well, right? Maybe like this Tela's will rebound back up a little bit or Talisa with a game tomorrow. Or some of the future stars that are very rare that have been sold off and are down a price. Graven birch is down. That Timber SBC is still another one of those players that we could be seeing very soon. That player SBC, it looked pretty dope. Dhaka is down a little bit. So if you don't want to mess around with stuff that has impacts, I just think that there's so much focus on the cards that are impacts right now. Wow, this card's 920? Golly, that, see, it's just kind of weird how some parts of the market are just dropping off a little bit, but other parts are not. Holland was 390 earlier yesterday. Now he's 432, right? Goretzka was 315, now he's 353. Foden is down a lot right now. He'll probably rebound back at some point. So that's what I'd be looking out for if you're watching this video and you're like, Nate, how can I get involved with the market? Check the out of packs cards and maybe some of the full birthdays. I think you could see some of a bit of a rise with those today on Monday after the rewards timeframe. Now I have to talk about SBC Fodder too because these cards, again, with the consistent supply, these cards are on a roller coaster ride. Take a look at Bruno Fernandez. So yesterday we had the Prime Icon SBC, right? Look at what happened here, which we said was probably coming. This guy went from 28K, spiked to 35 when that SBC came out, and 38K on Xbox. And now look, he's back down to 28. It's basically this scenario all over again. This is perfect if you love trading SBC Fodder. We have demand from a Prime Icon, mid Icon player pick that is out, and probably more SBCs coming this week. And we have supply right now, but we probably have less supply coming throughout the rest of this week because I would assume that lighting rounds are gonna slow down. So taking a look at SBC Fodder, I think it is a thumbs up from me at the moment. Some 84s look really good. Club stock and some 83s. Club stock and some of these 88s, these 89s. Harry Kane, 44,000 coins. We were looking at this card last night at 50K. What did he do with the SBC? So he was 47K, went up to 52, and is now down to 44. I would stock these cards as well because I know that you're like, Nate, what SBCs are gonna come out to make these go up? There's still a mid Icon player pick and there's still that Prime Icon upgrade. And I guess we can hope that some other for birthday SBCs will come out, but the fact that those two Icon upgrades are there, people will do those when they have coins like people do right now from all the supplies coming on the market and when they have SBC Fodder. So again, you can see this 347K for a Prime Icon upgrade is not that expensive and it's got 84% upvotes. So just keep an eye out for stuff like this because Fodder today, probably after weakening rewards is gonna go up too. So I would take a look at this during this, when you're waking up, watching this video or whatever timeframe it is for you, keep an eye on the Fodder because I don't expect lightning rounds today on Monday. I don't expect lightning rounds on Tuesday, maybe on Wednesday, maybe on Thursday. And especially if we start to kind of think about, hey, oh, voice crack, that was pretty bad. Let's redo that. Hey, what timeframe would I be looking at to buy one of these birthday cards for my team? Honestly, early thoughts on this for me would be, we're gonna wait till the end of the week because again, we have some pretty big names that are rumored slash leaked for the team too, DiBala, Fakir, Roberto Firmino, right? There's some pretty big names that are leaked for team two of for birthday. And especially with potential, there's always during these weeks when they run so many lightning rounds, they could do some lightning rounds later on in the week. And you never know what kind of content is gonna drop, but since there's a lot of hype for team two as well, I would definitely wait on these cards until the end of the week, in my opinion. The only one that I would maybe not wait on if you see a price that has dropped off so much that you think you want it for your team is this Cristiano Ronaldo, because this Ronaldo is incredibly rare, incredibly hyped. And I honestly think that right now this is the same price as the team of the year. And I think post of a birthday, I think this card is probably gonna rise above the team of the year and stay at a higher price just because he's got the five star weak foot. The pros are gonna love him. They can use him in events that only require one team of the year item because he does not count as the team of the year and it's still a Ronaldo card where the fives are five stars. So just kind of keeping out on a card like that are some of the really rare ones. But again, if you're wanting to buy any of these cards for your team, we're gonna cover this of course later on down the week. That's gonna be a big weight from me in my opinion. So the market, again, it's just in a really interesting place. Now again, like I mentioned, I bought a bunch of Oda guards. I've sold one of them, have a couple listed, but yeah, I was picking these up for like 475, 480. And now he is on the market. I think he's like 520, but he was 550 just for a bit before he started getting listed again. I think I'm just gonna hold these until after rewards today. Is he back to 530? Dude, this guy has so much hype. It's crazy. I mean, we were streaming yesterday on Twitch and it seemed like every single minute somebody was coming in the chat and asking the stream, hey, when should I buy Oda guard? When should I buy Oda guard? He looks insane. I think people just wanna try him out. So that's a card that is just, it's so rare as well. We take a look at this card in terms of rarity. How many pages in total does he have on the market right now? One, two, three, four, five pages for an 89 rated card. The mini release cards are always so incredibly rare and this one's no exception. So that's why I really like that buy that I made there. If he goes back under 500K during like, the rewards timeframe today, I think that could be a great time to maybe pick one of those up for a quick flip. I think he could go down a little bit more later on in the week again with a lot of hype for team two as we were talking about and stuff like that. So just kind of keep that in mind as well there. But icon moments are also a big part of the market right now. And I'm watching some of these cards cause they fluctuate a ton and they're very profitable but also they're still in packs and EA is running a lot of lightning rounds. So it makes for some interesting fluctuations and prices. Pure low was like 1.4 mil earlier and now he's 900K, right? So you have tons of drops. Pushkass was extinct at nine four and now he was, he wasn't even selling at eight mil but now look, his cheapest on the market is eight four. So these cards just move a ton. There's so much fun to trade with. And if you can find a really low price and lock in a deal, then you can make some coins. And I think there will be some more movements on these cards after rewards today too. Just because again, people are gonna wanna go out and try some of these items because they're still brand new. And that's where the hype and that's where the focus is right now on, wow, Rooney's two mil flat and it's not even getting bought. 1.9 flat, is that sitting? Oh my goodness. I bought one of these at 195 last night and sold it at 2.3 mil. I think it's on my transfer list here. I posted it on Twitter. That was my first icon moment slip was the big boy Rooney. And look at how much this price has dropped off just in one day. So again, if you don't wanna mess with impact stuff out of pack stuff is gonna be completely fine to trade with and it's still gonna fluctuate a lot on the market. But that's just kind of the feeling and the vibes that I'm getting with the market at the moment is people have coins but they're really excited about foot birthday. That's why I think some of these cards could do really well today after rewards. And then from there on, and for the rest of this week, it's really just gonna depend on the content that EA put out. It's really just gonna depend on the content that EA put out, whether it's gonna be player prices dropping throughout the rest of this week, are the player SBCs gonna actually improve? Or are they just gonna kind of keep those pulled back as they want everybody to focus on foot birthday swaps and stuff like that throughout this week? I really not sure. So we're gonna have to just kind of slide through this week and see what EA do content-wise. But at the moment, I'd still say foot birthday is pretty popular and people are very happy with it because of all the brand new cards that are coming out. So if you guys think anything differently or have any comments, let me know down below in the description of this video. But again, I hope you enjoyed this video. It's just kind of a weird mix right now with content impacts being cool, but I feel like the SBCs are being a downfall. So hopefully today, upgrade packs can change that, put some grindability to the menus again, maybe stock your club with rares and non-regolds for a cheap price because there's gonna be so much hype. Again, with the Ronaldo impacts, people are gonna spend coins on upgrade packs just because they might have a one in one million chance or whatever it's gonna be to pack that foot birthday Ronaldo. But again, if you did enjoy the video, smash thumbs up on it and subscribe if you are new. It has been Nate the Foot Account and I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
