 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We are gonna be talking about one thing today that EA needs to fix in this game. This has been an issue for such a long time and it was brought to light yet again. I don't see enough people talking about it, but this is an issue that has been problematic the entire year of FIFA. It's problematic right now because of what's happening with content and SPC fighter cards. And it's also problematic even just a couple weeks ago with items being extinct and we're talking about price ranges. So I'm gonna cover the market as normal and we'll talk about that sort of stuff heading into Sunday. But also what I'm gonna talk about today is just these price ranges. And EA needs to fix this, right? They have to fix price ranges. They have to change what they're doing because right now, because of the SPC content that we had yesterday on Saturday inside of FIFA, the 84 and 85 SPC fighter cards on the market are basically extinct or right at the cusp of extinction. And that is because EA has lowered price ranges on these 84 and 85 fighter cards. A couple weeks ago, they lowered them. Now let's talk about price range for a second because a lot of things people don't understand. This is actual fact. Price ranges are updated and changed. It's not by a manual person that is doing them. As far as I am concerned, I'm pretty sure we know that EA does price ranges based off of a computer. So it's auto-updating, it's automatic. Whatever parameters that they have set are just not good enough. Take a look at this, extinct on PC, extinct on Xbox. And at the max, buy it now on the PlayStation. Like 18K is the lowest buy it now for a lot of these cards all the world. 18,000 coins as well. Some of them have like 20 or 19,000 coin caps. But 18K for all of these 85s and most of them are extinct. I mean, you look earlier in the year, take a look at Delict, right? This Delict card has a, okay, he has a 24,000 coin price range. So that's, I guess you could say a different one. But take a look at the ZH, right? He's got a 18,000 coins price range. How much was he earlier on in the year? He was 18K in earlier in March when price ranges were a lot higher. 25K, 25,000 coins. Now I think EA reduced the ranges in the past month because again, we've been so down in the 7K range up to the 12 and they really have not gotten close to that 18K range. But this is something that's just so inconsistent in FIFA. I don't know why they downgrade it. If especially EA knows what content they're planning to put out in this game, if they're planning to put out content that is like this when there's no supply for the market and you know that these 82 to 88 upgrades, people aren't doing this to craft this SBC. They're just going out and buying the players to get this done, that they need to finish the SBC. So since there's no supply, you know the demand is there for an SBC like this. You need to update those price range. That's honestly what it has to be when fodder gets really expensive and it goes extinct. That is literally stopping people from interacting with the content of FIFA. And it's something these price ranges have really bugged me for a while. But again, it was brought up today and I feel like I need to talk about it because again, this is something that's been a problem in FIFA for a long time. I mean, take a look at the edge bro. He's got one page of cards on the market at 18,000 coins. 18K one page and we have no supply for these cards unless EA change something up and run some sort of like foot player days which we'll talk about in a little bit. Again, you know, this stuff is just gonna stay extinct, right? Unless there's some sort of supply that comes out on this game or you know, some sort of drop in demand. But with that PTG or TOTS SBC coming out and again, they've been dropping good content the past three, four days. They're trying to carry this week with SBC content. Nobody's gonna be able to buy these cards because they're going to be extinct if we have any more demand and without any more supply. So that is a crazy thing to me and you know, it's not just with fodder cards, right? I don't understand why this computer or this algorithm that they have to update price ranges. I don't understand it's never consistent. I know that's a word we use all the time in esports inconsistency is big but you guys remember what happened with the first day of PTG when these cards came out, right? Vinicius was extinct, Griezmann was extinct, Havertz was extinct. They all got updated in the first hour of their cards or maybe hour and a half, hour and a half. Wow, that's a bad voice crack, don't remember that. Anyways, they all got updated like this, right? But then earlier on in the year we have TOTS cards that are extinct for multiple days and we have, I mean, I don't know if you guys remember this or not but this might have been one of the longest streaks of a card being extinct on the market due to a price range and that is Bruno Fernandez. This card was extinct for like a week and a half before it came on the market at three million coins earlier on this year and what is this, like March? I mean, this guy was ridiculously expensive when he first came on the market after being extinct for so long. It was just crazy, right? I don't understand why sometimes things upgrade like this but then other times it takes weeks and again, it's just the inconsistency here is crazy, right? I mean, even at the beginning of the game people buy up cards, they get close to their price range and then EA waits forever to upgrade them. It makes us think that they're trying not to let traders make coins in this game. I guess you could say that this ploy of not updating the 85 price ranges is trying to stop people from making even more coins on these cards, I get that. I guess that is a point you could make but again, I just feel like that they should know their own game a lot better with all of this content that's coming out if you would have told me, hey, on Friday that they were gonna put all this content out and it's gonna be SBC based content and not content from impacts then I would be like, okay, well, right now fodder is already high for where it has been and our price ranges are really, really close to their max and I think we need to update some of these but of course they did not think ahead and do that and now we are stuck with if you're trying to do any of these SBCs you're going to have to go out and buy like an 89 rated card and a bunch of 83s and that's impacting the market as well because look at 83s, bro. Since 84s and 85s are extinct 82 cards are 3,000 coins apiece that's usually where 83s are and 83s are 7k that's usually where 84s are so I mean, it's crazy that all this fodder is going up there is a lot of demand and I understand that I think the problem I have with this with it is if people wanna pay a certain price for an SBC card, EA sports, let them do it, right? Let them do it these price ranges need to go up speaking of price ranges too Path of Glory Team two cards what in the world is going on with these price ranges Joao Felix, five million? Five million coins I do not understand why this price range is five million coins we had a theory last Friday that when they drop these cards they put the price range is so high that when they were listed up people would list at the highest point and then there'd be constant selling and selling with all the supply it would basically take that card longer to get down to a lower price before people, you know so then people would buy it along the way go try it out in the first earlier part of the day and then lose a lot of coins after that that's just one of the small things that it seems that EA do to try to make people lose coins on this game but some of these price ranges for these PTG cards in team two are ridiculous 6.7 mil for Pogba he's literally 1.25 like that it should not be that high a lot of these cards and we see this a lot, right? This is the graph this number right here is the one that I like to use this PRP the price range percentage I believe is what it's called for me it was at a 22nd percentile of his price range from 350k to 6.7 mil I think you really want to see these more like the 50 percent or maybe even 60 percent now I understand for a live card you could say, oh no, well there's a lot of hype this card could go up a ton because he gets upgraded and all that there's no shot that Joao Felix ever gets close to even a million coins again in my opinion unless they go on and win the entire shebang Portugal wins the entire euros then maybe he gets somewhat close to like 800k but like, I mean five mil like that that's ridiculous so that's again price ranges on this game are just so confusing they're so inconsistent and they don't make sense and that is one thing that if I could speak to foot economist or EA sports I would say get this figured out because for your user base it makes things a lot easier when they can actually A, find them on the market and B, when if I want to do an SBC I don't have to look for a card that is extinct and trying to snipe it for 15 minutes to do the SBC because I can't find it on the market so that is my I guess you could say small rant I'm not like upset at EA sports about it I just know they can do better because again these cards get their price ranges updated like this and then we have to wait weeks for other ones and now we have this SBC fodder situation at a point in the year where a lot of the content is released purely for the fun and purely for you know you know there's not a lot to do at the stage of the game so EA puts out a lot of that SBC fodder content you're turning in 84, 85, 86 rated squads and I just let us do it right like right now you can barely go by 84s and 85s in the market because they are extinct so again that's just kind of my thought process right now and how I'm you know, look at this two Brozovic is on the market for 10K crazy so I'm just honestly thinking for this week going forward fodder is probably just gonna stay high unless they run a foot player days promo which some people are asking me about that how can they get fodder to decrease now since we're inside of festival football I really don't think they're gonna release a foot player days I really don't think they're gonna release foot player days because that's like a promo that usually runs in the background and we already have one that's festival football I guess if they could they could drop some sort of packs some sort of SBCs that supply the market with tradable stuff but the market hasn't been super duper high for that long and I know that EA knows that this Friday is gonna be a huge inflection point of supply when people who have saved up packs because we've known summer stars is coming for the last two days seven days of build up literally a week of build up for that promo and of course the preview packs are still gonna be out then as well so I don't know if it's gonna do anything but again you're seeing this fodder is just going up and going up and going up people are doing 85 rated squads right now with 87s and some 82s and 83s because again there's no other options so I think that even some of this higher rated fodder could continue to go higher right now Griezmann's only 32k he was 37k in a couple points so that could be a potential situation as well right now with people wanting to do there's just a lot of the SBC content that is being released right we had the Ramos this week we had that player pick that was dropped yesterday we had the Adair SBC the icon moments repeatable upgrade the icon moments or prime player pick there's just a lot of SBC content that is available to interact with in this game and that's where kind of the hype has come this week now thinking about Sunday right thinking about today what's gonna be happening today on the market well of course we've already seen it a lot of our French cards from the weekend league are absolutely taking a dump on the market so what's happening for sure this Kloss card was up at 100 and I think his absolute peak was 160,000 coins on the PlayStation and he is now back down to 80,000 coins so a crazy crazy drop off there Arieola was like 160,170 and I believe that he is down at 90,000 coins for his card so a crazy drop there I mean I always check Ben Yetter too right so one thing I look out for today is if you see more panic selling on some of these cards like Ben Yetter fluctuates around a lot if you see some big undercuts on these cards today that are still French if they go lower than what they were last week before the weekend league plus stuff was released that could be a situation right this Mucchielli 180,000 coins for this card it was up at 300K on Friday morning crazy crazy price drop off there of course I think Laquat which I even have one on my team right now I'm losing some coins on this guy because he is 280,000 coins after being 400K the Ramos SBC heard his price a little bit for sure but it's just crazy to see this drop off in the French cards we knew it was coming now a little bit of a tinfoil hat theory I don't know when they dropped the weekend league plus objectives last week but a little bit of a tinfoil hat theory is since we had a French objective player with Lucas Hernandez last week they then required French players for your starting squad now we have Bellotti this week and that has people thinking that it might be an Italian basically weekend league plus for Italians this coming weekend so if that's an investment like you wanna make some speculative buys on that again that is pure rumors and pure hearsay but I like what's going on with this I think this is fun it's cool you don't have to get involved if you don't want to I saw a lot of people that weren't doing it for the extra player picks this weekend I'm almost to my first one but yeah it's cool right and also I'm not sure if they're gonna do this again though because again usually they don't do this on promo weekends like as we talked about this is usually an objective that comes out when we don't have cards in packs so I'm very curious to see if they do more of that now today on the market you're probably just gonna see some cards continue to go down yesterday I made a couple bit of movements I sold my Verati at $525K and this is actually a card that I wanna look at with you guys right now because he is actually down post game he was just at $495, sorry $495 and he was $510 he is getting a second upgrade on this Friday this Friday this card is getting upgraded again but he kind of peaked like right when the goal was scored I sold mine at $525 and he has kinda gone down a little bit since then I guess there's just not that much hype for this card or there's a little bit of over-investing as well but also I think some of the upgrades are already built into his price because people were expecting Italy to do well so you saw some panic selling though with that guaranteed PTG player pick or the PTG or TOTS player pick Foden was down at $530 he's back up at $575 I shouted on my video earlier today at the content drop I said that Joao Felix at $310 was a dub Joao Felix you know could easily be $340 by the morning he's back to $330 already right now Militao is absolutely flying because I'm hearing he's OP super cracked and Brazil played today Brazil played today so could have another upgrade for Firmino Militao and Vinicius Jr. incoming after a potential fourth win with Brazil playing Bolivia today now also I treated with some parades because right around content drop somebody undercut this and Footbin caught it I was sniping these at $72, $73K literally sat there for like five minutes and I bought I think like seven or eight of them I sold them all at $86, $87,000 coins two Lazies right he's $81,000 coins right now so that was a GG still have my chill wells that I bought at $69,000 coins he's $93K Josef got at $60K he's $86K and Alexis Sanchez got at $71K he is $95K now I don't think these teams Chile and Venezuela I don't think they have really good shots of getting upgrades but again if people are using these cards as super subs they're just getting a little bit more rare after that panic that was last week so that's why they are going up and with no more supply makes me honestly just want to hold these a little bit longer maybe I'll cash them out and just take my coins but those were pretty solid investments right there and I'm gonna keep holding on to Chile well because I think that price when this guy was $60K was just way, way, way too cheap especially if England can pull out a dub and get that third win which they are one win away from that'd be a huge W for them so again watch the weekly sell out today like you saw me watch that baby Vieira $460K is pretty low for him and with the French restrictions taken away and taken off of this game I would really watch out for some of your Real Madrid links as well like if you see this Hazard down some if you see this Marcus Rente dip back down maybe you're Jordi Alba team, a season card with whatever content comes out today on Sunday I would 100% get involved in watching some of that stuff because I do think that people might be buying things to link with their Ramos cards if they have done the SBC after this week in league sell off so that's one thing to kinda watch out for also another week of objectives with squad battles so there's gonna be a decent amount of supply not for anything that's in packs of course but there will be some packs opened tonight Sunday night with squad battle rewards because of these right here and that of course people doing these made people go and play squad battles so they're gonna get the tradable packs for that which might supply fodder a little bit but that's like nothing in comparison to what a lightning round would do or what preview packs would do if there were any on this game so again I just wanna talk about price ranges because that was something I was thinking about and EA just gotta fix it right we need some consistency there we just need to know or it seems like it's just change your computer the computer that's updating price ranges or the algorithm that is doing that we just gotta get that changed so that it's more consistent right I mean I don't understand how it can be so inconsistent at times in this game that's just very very confusing to me so if we can get that fixed and we now a lot more consistency with that stuff that would be fantastic that'd be great to have on this game so we're watching the PTG cards again today not really sure what's gonna happen today for content on Sunday potentially maybe an icon player as we see that could be one thing that we might expect because we kinda have been getting two icons in the past couple of weeks so if they would drop us two more icons that'd be great EA sports if you wanted to do that last week of course we had Maradona and Henri if you wanted to drop us maybe a Dutch icon a Dutch icon and maybe an English icon it'd have to be MomentsRio probably MomentsRio and why not man give us MomentsCroy for MomentsHole at EA sports that would be insane if you did that and the SBC would be so expensive because of fodder being so high right now but that'd be honestly like comical to see how much they were priced at SBC at this time in this game because again, how much is the Maradona SBC 4.35 million coins that's the issue with these icon SBCs bro is that they're pricing them at a point when they know fodder is low dude this guy's SBC is 4.3 mil to do you can go and buy them on the market for 3.2 ridiculous that's crazy that should not be a thing that should not happen Terry Henri I believe is like a 1 million coin card or lower and his SBC is 1.33 yeah this card's a million coins and his SBC is 300k more so that's just crazy but that's just the name of the game right now fodder is Sky High your Tots your Team of the Week fodder as well since that was required for the player pick today that stuff went crazy if you had any of those cars that you bought you were in the big time money with those as well so that's the video today again just kind of putting what's on my mind out there with the price range stuff don't know if EA's gonna hear it but I really hope that they make that a priority for FIFA 22 and that would be very nice for this game if that stuff was fixed I'm not holding on any hopes but hopefully there's some changes made there and yeah really curious to see what the content is today on Sunday usually we expect upgrade packs but there's already kind of upgrade packs out with player picks to grind the icon packs and to grind the SBCs I don't expect more of those today because there's nothing in packs so really not sure what's gonna be happening today on Sunday for content but we will be here on Twitch most likely I've been a little under the weather today so if we're feeling better tomorrow then we'll be live streaming around the content drop that'll be the plan that link is down below in the description and I will catch you guys there alright boys it's been Nathan for The Count I will catch you guys later peace
