 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We need to talk about something very quickly that just happened on FIFA Ultimate Team. Chemistry style, price ranges. Yes, you're hearing that correctly. The shadow and the hunter chemistry style on this game are now at a higher price range. They just got a 25K up to price range. They were at 5,000 coins. Now their price range is up to a 25K max and people are flooding the market with these cards as we speak because obviously these cards are not worth 25K. Right now it looks like they're selling for around 13,000 so they are trickling their way down. They were selling right at 20K, right at 25 and now they're kind of trickling their way down. So I want to talk about what this means for the market because a lot of the stuff that we've been doing on this game is regarding chem style trading because a lot of the cards since chemistry styles like the shadow and the hunter were hard to purchase because they were extinct basically on the market. Now they're not going to be extinct. So I want to talk about some of the stuff that I could see with this price update which is honestly insane. I don't think there's ever been a, it remind me if I'm incorrect but I can't remember any FIFA where there's been a price update for chemistry style cards. Chemistry style cards getting a price update. Honestly, mental, insane, ridiculous. Hunters and shadows though are the only ones that got it. I think I went through most of them and checked at least the ones that were expensive and those did get a price range update. So I want to talk, I want to look at the tweet first. This is a tweet by Nepenthes. He just tweeted this and I think he makes a really good point here because EA definitely did the EA thing on this price range update with these cards. He says and I quote, instead of increasing the drop rate of shadow and hunter cards making a chem style more accessible to everyone EA instead increased the price range to 25,000 coins and he has a perfect point here because basically what EA is doing is they're saying, hey, okay, people want to buy these chem styles so we're going to take more coins away from them. Doing that, which in terms makes us more money because then they have to go spend FIFA points to go get more coins after they spend more for this chemistry style card. Because basically when you think of a chemistry style card it's basically sort of an untradable because when you buy it, it's tradable but then you place it on a player and you can't get it back off. It's on that player for good. So then you have to go sell that player which that player might be, you know, sell for a little bit more with a hunter or with a shadow on it than it would normally but it's technically almost making that card untradable because you're not, you can't actually sell that card at the full price by on its own because you're attaching it to another one. So you're losing a lot of coins if you're buying these hunter chem styles which is, it's honestly ridiculous that they did it this way and I think Nupent has a great point because all they had to do in years past these hunter chem styles, yes they would get extinct, yes they would get rare but they would get packed throughout the year and either maybe EA was adjusting the pack weight in years past and we never knew or they would just continue to get packed so their price eventually dropped down from where it was extinct. But right now these cards are looking like the hunters ride around 10,000 coins as people are seeing this news and of course going out and flooding the market. So this is gonna happen obviously for the first couple of hours, you're gonna see people flooding the market with these cards, going into their clubs and wanting to sell them but that also is gonna kind of bite itself back. That's what happens when a price range update happens on FIFA, you have that price getting updated at 25K range in this terms of shadows. It's gonna drop back down, it's gonna go lower than what it will eventually medium out, it's gonna go low with all the panic selling and all the selling then it'll rise back up. I do expect the shadow card to be a little bit more expensive than the hunter card and I expect the shadow card to land somewhere around like the 10,000 coin range outside of a promo at least at this time of the year. Obviously as we go on through FIFA more and more and more of these cards are gonna get packed and as you see in objectives and stuff they keep putting these cards in objectives so people are gonna be able to get shadows and hunters through objectives as well. But this is honestly just crazy that they did this and I wanna talk about Ken's style trading in relation to these shadows and these hunter cards because the chemistry style trading is something that we have done a ton of this year and it kind of, this might change that a little bit. I wanna kind of put my thoughts on that. Since now they were, the reason why the chemistry style trading worked really well was because those cards were extinct, right? So Alex Tellez, perfect example, his inform card but on its own, what does it sell for? On its own the Tellez inform should be right around like 160 or 150K. It's a little bit over 150K, it looks like 150, 160. All right, so he's 160,000 coins with a chemistry style attached, 160, without a chem style, without a shadow at least. We go back here, of course it resets my filter. We go Tellez, Alex Tellez special chemistry style, shadow, his price with a shadow is 100 and 70,000 coins. 70,000 coins, so he is 10,000 coins more with a shadow which is basically kind of concurrent with the price right now. With the price of the shadow chem style being right around like 11, 12K, his card is about 10K more with the shadow chem style applied. I don't know, it's gonna be different for every card. Of course, a lot of the defenders with shadows were more than 5K above. The difference between what their card was selling at buy it now and what their card was selling at with a shadow was more than 5K, if that makes sense. If you guys are kind of following what I'm going with, the Tellez without a chem style, 160, Tellez with a chem style, 170. A lot of times, some of the informs were, it was definitely an increased more than 5K back when the chem style's price range was 5K before they updated it. A lot of the cards with the shadows were selling for more than 5K above the lowest buy it now of that card. I'm really interested to see what becomes of this price range update because technically they're making shadows more available to everybody. So that makes me think on one hand that some of these cards will actually, chem style trading might now work as well because there's gonna be more shadow cards in the market and people can go out and buy that card instead of not as easily being able to find it and snipe it and instead happen to go pay more money or a card that already has the chem style applied on the market. So that's why chem styles made us a lot of coins before just because we thought, okay, these cards are rare, they're extinct, but now that you can go buy a shadow, yeah, you might have to pay 10,000 coins, but you can actually go buy it, it's there and that's why it was a restricted good before that the supply was not enough to meet the demand and now we have kind of a middle point for the supply and demand and I honestly don't know if chem style trading will be as effected and honestly, this is another big GG to EA. If they're trying to stop traders, which we always talk about, it seems like they do some things in the market that try to stop traders to make it harder for us to make coins, this could be something that kind of falls under that line of thought because they might be making it harder for trade for us to trade with these cards, especially because the chem style is now available for people to buy. So one of the guys that I love the shadow chem style trade, whoa, Lucas Hernandez with a shadow 60, I was searching at 60K, the next one is 55,000 coins. Normally I would buy that and list it up right away and try to relist it and make some profit, but I'm having second thoughts right now because of this chem style trading method. It looks like the cheapest Theo Hernandez is. Okay, that was one of the cheapest Theo Hernandez with the shadow card. So basically what I'm gonna say for this boys is if you like the shadow chem style trade, I still think it's gonna work because I still think that there's gonna be some cards out there that there's gonna be a price range difference that's smaller than the shadow chem style. So now what you're gonna see people doing is say, okay, I wanna buy Theo Hernandez, I wanna buy him with a shadow. He doesn't need the pace, but he's our example, okay? He's got 95 pace, he doesn't need the pace boost of a shadow, but we're gonna use him as our example. Right now Theo Hernandez is 63,000 coins, 62,000 coins with a shadow chem style on him. Without a shadow chem style, his inform is selling for 58,000 coins. So that difference right there is only a 3,500 coin difference between 58,500 and 62,000. So people are gonna now say, all right, I can go buy his card with a shadow on the market for 62,000, which is only 3,500 coins more than his cheapest card, or I can buy his cheapest card and go pay seven, eight, nine, 10K for a shadow card. Well, what's cheaper? Going and buying the shadow card on the market. So this might be something that we have to watch. There might be some fluctuations now that we might be able to trade with the differences between how much a shadow chem style card costs and how much the card with this shadow chem style applied to it already costs. So that's something to keep in your mind. And that might be kind of like a fluctuation trading method thing because on Thursdays, when people open rewards, let's say that they wanna go ahead and buy some player as a defender, like maybe we'll just go with another random example right here, let's go Scream Odomendi. Yeah, you didn't see that one coming, did you? Scream Odomendi, without a chem style, right now 223,000 coins with a shadow chem style. I'm using him because he's one of the most popular center backs in the prem. With a chem style, he's about 236. So he's about 12K more with a chem style on this Odomendi card. Now that kind of makes sense because shadows are about 12,000 coins at the moment right now. So that kind of makes sense that his normal card without a shadow is 12,000 coins less than with a shadow. So that would be a card that we might not wanna trade with. But again, like I was looking at that Theo Hernandez, I was looking at Lucas Dignay as well. This is another popular card in the prem. A lot of people like to use with a shadow card. Now this kind of card does need a shadow because of his pace. He's not a very fast card. He's only got 80 pace and as a left back, you throw a shadow on him. That'll help him out a lot on the wings and on the edge. So 69,000 coins for Dignay with a shadow. How much is he without a shadow? Without a shadow, Dignay is 60, wow, 67, 66,000 coins. There's only like a 3,000 coin difference here as well between Dignay with a shadow and Dignay without a shadow. So it's gonna be something where we have to kinda watch this over the next couple of days. And I'm definitely gonna be watching this with you guys to kinda tell, hey, what are people doing? Are people going out and paying the money for these shadow chem styles? Or are they checking to see what's cheaper between the shadow chem style on the card already or going and buying it by itself? Now I wanna look at an attacking option at once just to make sure that we have something going on here that is similar as well. I've been looking at Inforum's the whole time, but I'm gonna switch over here and look at a gold card. How much is Lucas Mora with a hunter chem style? Looks like he's right around 20K, 22K maybe? 20, 21,000 coins for Lucas Mora with a hunter. How much is he without a hunter? Lucas Mora is 17K there. Let's see, let's go down to 15 or 14. So he's 21 with a hunter. And he is basically 16K without a hunter. So he sells for 16, 21 with a hunter. So that's a 5,000 coin difference. So that card hasn't really moved too much yet in terms of the differences, but we will see what happens with that. So the hunters and the shadows are gonna be something we really, really need to watch in the coming days on this game because that's gonna be, I mean, that's a popular way that we've traded. I mean, if you look at a lot of the cards, I cleared my transfer list honestly, but this Fabinho that was right here, I sold it with a chem style because I bought this card for 191,000 coins with a shadow chem style. I mean, you really, you probably want a shadow chem style and a guy like Fabinho because he needs that pace boost. So let's look at this card again right now with the shadow chem style. What is he going for? Because usually he's like 210,000 coins-ish. 200K flat for a CDM Fabinho with a shadow. What about without a shadow? What's he going for? He's going for any less than 200 without that shadow. 193 is the cheapest at the moment. 193 is the cheapest at the moment. Wow, that's actually a decent undercut as well. If that had a shadow on it, I would definitely buy it. All right, so there's one at 200. Let's see if this sells. And I wanna see if this, well, the 193 is definitely gonna sell. So he's right around 200K and the shadow is one of the cheapest cards there. So that's just something that we're gonna have to monitor over the next couple of days with these chem styles. First of all, you might be able to make a lot of coins actually trading with these cards because they're gonna get supplied from rewards. If you see these shadow chem styles get down towards like the under 10K range down closer to 5,000 coins, you're gonna have to keep an eye on those cards because it looks like right now they're actually selling pretty consistently at 13K but they're gonna get supplied with rewards and then we're gonna have to watch this as well on Black Friday because Black Friday is going to bring a massive amount of supply to these cards from all the packs that are gonna be opened during that timeframe. What about the hunters as well? The hunters, yes. I do expect the hunters to be cheaper than this. Just because for attacking players you don't always need to pace. A guy like Timo Werner, you need more shot, more pass, more dribble. So you might use like a sniper or a dead eye or a marksman whereas on defense a lot of guys need the shadow. So hunters are under 10,000 coins. I would expect the shadows to drop a little bit more as well but this is something we're gonna have to watch during lightning rounds, of course, with that. I wanna check one other thing, position modifier. Are there any of these that got price range updates above 5,000 coins? Some of the expensive ones are like the center mids, right? Center mid to cam, is that expensive? Candice C.M., that didn't get changed? CDM, no. I'm just checking all these really fast to see if they got upgraded at all in price. So no, none of the position modifiers got upgraded as well. It was just the shadow and the hunter chemistry styles that got updated. So again, be careful with the chem style trading. What I would say is if you do a lot of that maybe you still keep doing it but just watch and see what happens over the next couple of days with those cards. The chem style trading starts to not work as much. We're gonna have to kind of figure out what cards do work and where it works and where it doesn't and kind of figure that out. So we'll be looking at a lot of that of course over the next couple of days as well. But I wanted to bring you guys this video as soon as possible because this is big news and a lot of you guys in your club, you've bought a lot of these cards at 5,000 coins because you maybe thought there was an update coming or you've had a lot of these cards in your club since the start of the game because you just thought that they were gonna get a price reject at some point or you might just have a ton of them from opening a lot of packs. I don't have any in my club, I'll be honest. I looked, didn't have any. But if you still have a bunch and you wanna take the coins on them, like 10,000 coins if they still are when you're watching this video, you can definitely go ahead and do that because it is nice to get 10,000 coins for a card that was only 5K before. So again, I wish EA would have just updated the pack weight, man. I don't feel like we needed a price range update on these cards but it honestly is just funny because you can tell it's just one of those other things where you can tell that EA is out for their own profits here. The move just makes sense, upping the price range on that card so people can buy it and spend their coins and lose those coins rather than just upping the pack weight and keeping the prices under 5K. So typical EA, GG's EA for that one, making your money, it makes sense, right? But if you guys enjoyed this video, smash a thumbs up on it. If you have any questions, please drop them down below. I would love to help you guys out with those questions. Quick little disclaimer, I am gonna be gone. I'm taking a trip out west over the next couple of days. There will be uploads on the channel so don't worry, I got you guys covered here but you won't see as many live streams or you won't see me looking at the actual today content on FIFA over the next couple of days. I have some more like just educational and tutorial based and thought based videos coming over the next couple of days while I'm gone for the weekend. So just wanted to kind of let you guys know about that so that you're in the loop and I will be back here live with you on Sunday for the Market Outlook video and then I'll be plugged in back here in the setup, in the station, ready to go for that kind of stuff. But again, if you enjoyed the video, smash a thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you are new. It's been Nate, The Foot Accountant.
