 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Photo Count, and welcome back to the channel. EA just let us on EA FC24 already. We've been looking at ratings, building starter squads, noticing overpowered cards, and all the while wondering how much are some of these cards going to cost. And that's what we're gonna be talking about in today's video. We're gonna be doing some early price predictions for a lot of favorite cards at the start of FC24, cards that you maybe wanna get in your starter squad, or maybe wanna save some coins for it and try to get in your team later on in the first couple of weeks in this game. We're gonna talk about prices in today's video. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up and of course, subscribe if you are new. Now, as we take a look at a lot of these prices today, we're gonna be using foot bin, we're gonna be using a lot of different websites, and of course, the EA website as well. But we of course know that prices are always changing, right? If we go back to last year's Lionel Messi card, a lot of cards as we know, don't stand the test of time in terms of gold cards. And we're gonna talk a lot about gold today, right? Cause that's what people can afford and really start to put in their teams at the beginning of the game. These predictions should serve as a good average for the first two to three weeks of the game, guys. We know that prices fluctuate a lot all the time. As you can see, Messi last year started at 100K, went to 300K, and then a month later, he was 70K. So these prices are gonna be for the early on stages as we get on FC24 for the first time. If you're saving for a card or if you're wanting to know how much your starter team player will be, this video is for you today. So let's start off the top by just getting into a bunch of prices. And while we do this, we'll talk about the market a little bit as well. First of all, Val Verde, one of the biggest upgraded cards from last year to this year, going up four overalls in rating. I went to his Inform card from last year cause if we think about it, this card was in team in the week one. It was almost like this is the Val Verde that we started with at the beginning of FIFA 23. And how much was this card back at the beginning of the game? 140,000 coins rising all the way to 200K at his peak is where this Inform Val Verde was at. But with the big upgrade that this Val Verde is even over that Inform card, especially with Real Madrid links and a higher rating. Guys, I think this Val Verde this year, being a holy gang, is gonna end up being 250, 300,000 coins and more expensive than his Inform was last year. I mean, his Inform was up that much. And that's a team of the week one Inform that is very rare, guys. I think this card's gonna be 250K, maybe even a little more than that because it's one of the best midfielders in the game. Now we're gonna look through a lot of prices. We're gonna try to keep it rapid fire, keep it going pretty fast. Messy, obviously a little bit of a downgrade from last year, going from a 91 to a 90. And of course, now being in the MLS, he has a lot worse links for most people. PSG links versus Inter Miami, probably not gonna be as hyped. A lot of people still wanna use him though because he has that striker and center forward position change and some really good play styles on his card. And of course, it's Messy, right? He's gonna have some hype just because of that. Now like we looked at, Messy last year was 300,000 coins. This year, guys, Messy just can't be that expensive. He is going to be cheaper this year in my opinion. And it's gotta be because of the links. But I don't think he's gonna be that cheap. I'm saying Messy's around 200, 250,000 coins, just a slight haircut in price from where Messy was last year. And it's really because of the links. But in reality, I think a lot of the top tier markets gonna end up being a bit more expensive this year. We'll talk about why a little bit later in the video. Now, another Real Madrid player, another midfielder. Maybe you want Jude and Valverde in your midfield. Both of those guys are gonna cost you a pretty penny. Jude last year was actually really cheap. If you take a look at his in-form price, he was like 30,000 coins in October. And his gold card was about 30,000 coins as well in the first couple of weeks of the game. 20, 30K, and then he dropped off crazy in value. But moving to Madrid is everything for this Jude Balingham card. He's gonna be very overpowered in game. Even though his stats don't look that insane, he's gonna be a card that a lot of people wanna get. I'm saying 100 to 150,000 coins for Jude Balingham. He's just got a lot more hype as well. He's been playing really well in real life. And of course, the Real Madrid links. Now, as we look through a few more cards, I want to know down in the comments, who do you guys wanna see? Shout some players, shout some cards you wanna see cause we'll look at a lot of different players throughout this video, but we'll probably do a second video as well where we look at specifically the players you guys comment down below. That'll be more of your requests in that video. Now, let's turn the corner here and do a couple cheaper cards. Starter team players, then maybe you wanna get in your squad in that first week or so. Alan St. Maximum, an interesting one here because he obviously has moved to the Saudi League, but he's still got the five star skills. Four star week, but he's got the trickster plus play style, quick step, technical and flair. He's gonna be a card that a lot of people wanna get, even though he's Saudi League this year. Last year, Alan St. Maximum's card was one of the best starter and left mids in the prem and he hit prices upwards of 40,000 coins in that first week before dropping off a lot. I would have to say that this year for Alan St. Maximum, I'm looking at a price of somewhere around 25,000 coins. Even though he's still five star skills and four star weak foot, he still looks cracked. It's just he's not in the Premier League anymore guys and I think his price is gonna drop off just as fast as it did last year and you see in this graph, he's gonna drop off a lot in a short amount of time. Now, moving down the list, we've got another starter team beast, Mickey Van DeVin from my Tottenham Hotspur Club, 85 pace, 70 on the defense and 80 physical. Now obviously his card last year is not a good comparison for this year's card but I can just tell you right off the bat how this card's price is gonna go. He's gonna be expensive in the first week and he is going to drop off in price incredible amounts. In my opinion, this Van DeVin card probably 20K but again guys, just like that ASM graph we looked at, it's not going to last long. One reason I always tell people to be careful when buying cards for their starter teams is these prices, they just get destroyed as we saw with the ASM and as you basically look at every single gold card graph, there's more promos than ever in FIFA's now. So we get or sorry, EAFC now, right? We're gonna say that a lot of times this year but there's more promo cards than ever. People get gold cards out of their club except for that upper echelon top tier faster than ever. Now let's take a step back up and talk about a very meta card, one of the best left wing players in the Premier League. Marcus Rashford, how much is this card gonna be? You might ask, well Rashford's kind of been on a crazy up and down in the past few ultimate teams. He was 81 rated last year in FIFA 23 but he was 85 rated in FIFA 22 and if you guys remember, I think it was FIFA 21 where he had these informed cards and he was so insane. His card went up so much in those first couple of weeks and in FIFA 22 his card started off really expensive. He was all the way up to about 174,000 coins. Now after being 81 rated last year, he's back to 85, five stress skills, 90 pace, a big time upgrade and also he's one of the only cards with the play style plus power shot on his base item. That's gonna give him another sort of rarity that could make him a little bit more expensive. I'm going with 150 to maybe 75,000 coins in those first couple of weeks. Now again guys, you're like, wait, Nate, I thought you said cards were gonna be a bit more expensive. That's the same that he was two years ago. Here's the thing with Rashford, he's only 85 rated which when a card is 85 rated that really means they're gonna get packed a lot more than say somebody who's 91 rated like Erling Holland and again, we're talking about prices potentially being a little bit more expensive this year guys and the reason I think that might be the case is we have got so many new women's players added into the game. We have so many players in general in packs this year and of course not all those players are super crazy meta. I just think that it's gonna end up making the top tier upper echelon of players, maybe some heroes, maybe some icons and of course at the start of the game guys like Mbappe, guys like Holland and some of these insane players a little bit more expensive because they're gonna be more separated from what's not meta and what is meta and if there's more cards in packs too that could mean higher quick sale values and just more coins that people are making back from opening packs which could inflate the market on that top tier. Again, new market this year with all the players that are coming in, it's a combined market again it's gonna be a whole whirlwind of craziness on this market as it always is and we're gonna be figuring it out as we go of course but that's just kind of my preeminent take right now on some of these top tier cards and I've got a similar valuation on Erling Holland higher in price than last year. Now everybody remembers Erling Holland last year right for his crazy rise to the meta being very lengthy focused in those first couple of weeks. Erling Holland was 30K on the web app and went all the way to 400,000 coins at his peak price around that like second, third week of the game maybe right around that first week in league and then of course he dropped off crazy amounts after that but that was a crazy rise for this Erling Holland card. Now guys this year Erling Holland's 91 rated people know how overpowered he is he's got some crazy play styles as well acrobatic quick step power header it's really gonna depend on the lengthy meta is lengthy going to be very usable is heading going to be overpowered or is his acrobatic trait like in real life gonna make him super overpowered in the game I still think he's the best prime striker in the game so he's gonna be expensive because of that and it's Erling Holland guys I think he might hit a new all time high price for his gold card in ultimate team this year I'm saying 500,000 coins for the gold Holland card this year in this game I think it's very possible and I think he's gonna be meta I just can't see a game that EA is gonna make where this guy is not super meta especially at the beginning of the game with these kind of stats that he's got and he's 91 rated so he's more rare so that's kind of what I'm thinking there now this is where it gets interesting right and as we just mentioned a lot of these women's players coming into the game we've got more players than ever in ultimate team and this right here in my opinion is the basically behind Nbappe the second best card that's a gold in the game no icons, no heroes considered this is the second best gold card in the game guys five star, five star Puteas and how do we even compare this to like how much will we even guess to think how much this card will be on the market right well we have to think through a few things we've got the Barcelona links so if you link Puteas to you know I almost said Usman Nemele he's not at Barcelona anymore but if you link Puteas to like let's say Lewandowski both Barcelona players even though one place for the women's team and one place for the men's team they get chemistry and that's gonna help a lot of these big club players that play on the women's side of the club this Puteas card with the play styles that she has which is a ton of them and the five star, five star and the stats that she has the only really comparable card that I can think of with the Barcelona links and everything else would be like old Messi cards guys and old Messi cards were you know almost a million coins I know the markets back then were different every year is different on the market but for a 91 rated card I can't imagine that there is only gonna be one gold card in Bape over a million coins I think this Puteas card might be or will be one to 1.1 million coins in the first couple of weeks just because of the rarity because of the links and because of five foot eight with those stats is like high medium work rates but it's insane man that is a disgusting card gonna be so so good in game as a center attacking mid so that's where I'm thinking for the Puteas card now a couple other women's players Devinia another five star, five star really insane looking card definitely gonna be a bit cheaper here I went back and forth on this one guys I was thinking this could this card could be 500k this card could be like 250k it all comes down to how much people are going to use the NWSL in my opinion because Brazil links yeah pretty solid NWSL links there's only a handful of players that are really that meta I still think though this card's probably gonna be around three to 400,000 coins just because of the five five and Brazilian now one more women's player that I wanna look at right here because this one like I said before has the club links that will matter imagine putting Sam Kerr and your team within cuncu right that is a link they would both get chemistry to each other because of the Chelsea links everybody used this card or they gave out one of these cards I think from what I heard rumors of the beta and people were using Sam Kerr a lot and they were saying that she is very good with the finesse shot I think she has finesse shot she does, play style finesse shot rapid, quick step and then of course power header so an all around good striker with technically primarily links with the club so I think that Sam Kerr card's also gonna be pretty expensive 400,000 coins because she's 90 rated as well guys and again that just means rarity for sure now I had to throw this one in for fun how much is this Oshawa card gonna be because everybody's talking about this striker right here with 90 finishing 91 pace 90 like the bad stat it's composure okay that's the let down 92 strength as well what? okay that's crazy man I mean I have to say 85 rated card I definitely think she is gonna get packed a good amount more than other ones like Sam Kerr but this card's gonna have so much hype I could see 150 to 200,000 coins which would honestly be comparable to the range of Marcus Rashford in terms of price but those stats are crazy it's all gonna come down to how these players play in game but those stats look absolutely crazy so like what else can you say now we look at a lot of prices but what I wanna do now is do a rapid fire we're gonna look through a bunch of different cards in a short amount of time maybe like five to 10 or something like that and just roll off some prices really fast cause I wanna look through a lot of cards for you guys cause I know a lot of cards you have questions about Christian Ronaldo big downgrade, right? His card last year wasn't even that expensive compared to Ronaldo cards always used to be like a million 1.5, 2 million coins even back when he was on the UVA this card for me this year is probably gonna be around the same price as Messi to 250,000 coins and it's probably just because it's Ronaldo, right? Saudi League links yeah, they're okay and that's really all to this but he does have the Power Shot playstyle plus so and it's Ronaldo with the five star skills and the four star weak foot so he's got that going for him I'm staying 200k for Ronaldo and 86 rated fodder Ronaldo I mean, man we're gonna have some of these cards hitting fodder prices so fast it's gonna be ridiculous but 91 ready killing Mbappe guys I got a prediction here gold card only one it's gonna be over two million coins I'm saying two to 2.2 mil for Mbappe in that first two weeks window because with the way this card got upgraded 78 physical which is only a plus two but once again I'll highlight it plus 11 jumping from his card last year he's got 90 shooting now he's five star four star he's got the quick step playstyle plus he's gonna be so fast because he also has the rapid playstyle as well and Travella this card's gonna be the most broken card in the game once again, 100% and I'm saying over two mil last year he was about 1.7 I'm saying two to 2.2 mil in the first couple of weekends now again this is a card that might have a little bit longer of a rise on the market his price may take a couple weeks to reach its max like here with Mbappe last year it did hit a 1.7 mil max in that first weekend but then he was back up to about 1.5 before he just slowly tailed off for the rest of the game as it kind of always goes so Mbappe two mil though for me this year let's move on Musa Diabi maybe a card a lot of you guys are eyeing for a starter card I'm looking at Diabi to be one of the best middle tier Prem right wings I'm saying about 75 to 85,000 coins for this card he's just gonna be flat out pace and he's a step above some of those other like starter wing players so that's why I'm gonna say about 75K for him also a transfer now moving on again Soboslaya another starter like a true starter team player I think this card's gonna be a really good budget player I'm saying 20,000 coins he has got a four star four star he's medium medium which isn't the best and his balance isn't that good but for an 82 rated and he's probably gonna be 20K for like the first week or two and then drop off to like 10,000 coins he's got a ton of play styles guys which I think will benefit him a lot he's got really solid stats around the rest of his card I'm saying 15 to 20K for Soboslaya which is a W Colomani the Bundesliga striker that is in the middle budget that a lot of people are going to want to get kind of compare Colomani to what Timo Werner used to be right Timo Werner was always like the one pacey striker that was in the Bundesliga I know Timo Werner is back in the Bundesliga now but I think this Colomani card is gonna be 50K because of the French links and because he just looks really cracked how much is what's Werner look like 91 pace, 80 shooting so definitely Colomani is better and Werner's three star skills four star week foot Colomani is four four so I think that gives the edge to Colo for sure maybe it will bump that price up for him just a little bit as a French striker let's say like 60K for Colomani somewhere right around that range but that obviously won't last for too long now here's an interesting one Robert Lewandowski he is actually after a two assist one goal performance he is on a shortlist to be in team of the week one and this is where we have questions once again how much will Gold Lewandowski be? Well last year he did have a once to watch card which definitely messed with his price for his Gold card a little bit and made him a bit extra rare but he wasn't that expensive he's like 40,000 coins in the first month of the game this year I think it all comes down to the meta he's mostly lengthy again like he was last year if he's got an inform though this Gold card maybe impacts it might not be that's gonna be one of the craziest things we're gonna have to figure out but I will say this 100% if we have an inform Lewandowski that is in packs to start the year like let's say it's something like this Lewandowski let's say he's 92 rated this year as well gets a plus one or a plus two that's gonna be a card that you will wanna keep your eye on in the early stages as a team of the week one investment with the Barca links that'll be a card that could be very good if the lengthy meta is still somewhat there or if this is a usable card which I'm sure it's gonna be in the early game watch out for a Lewandowski inform because that could be a cracked investment there but I'm saying for an inform Lewandowski I don't even know maybe like 200,000 coins to 50 and then maybe rising just because team week one is always rare to like three to 400,000 coins that sort of thing could happen so that's all the prices we're gonna look at today guys of course there are so many players starter team players, women's players added in players like Gavardi how much is Gavardi all gonna be to me 10, 15K in that first week and then he's gonna drop off and be fodder that sort of thing if you want me to look over any specific players in another video drop them down below but I do wanna say really quick we have a little bit more news all right, we have a little bit more news Foot Sheriff is starting to tweet out evolutions guys and this is just to really keep you guys up to date with what's going on as we move into FC 24 he is saying that we are gonna be getting some news for evolutions today on Sunday so watch out for that but he's mentioning that evolutions are gonna be kinda have like two different sections you can do a paid one that probably gets you a bigger upgrade like it shows you're an 85 rated Luis Muriel if you pay 50K and then another one that it's free that you can just grind through the objectives and then it's an 83 rated which I mean why did I think I not think about this before why am I not surprised by this that was my response to this tweet when I first saw it like man if this is how they're gonna keep evolutions behind like a paywall with FIFA points and coins like that's a bit disappointing at least you have an option to grind it without having to spend coins but that was one of the exciting things about evolutions was just play to upgrade and now there's a kind of a level up aspect to it where you had to like buy the card to then play the games to upgrade it right that's almost what it feels like here where you're paying coins or FIFA points to get yourself a bigger upgrade I don't know I don't like that so look for more news on that today looks like he's gonna be tweeting out some more leaks and then also a couple of these car designs we already knew but my goodness that team of the year nominee car design that is different and that is insane I really like that car design Premier League Player of the Months Bundesliga those look dope as well very simplistic but also not changed from previous years league one looks solid Serie A looks okay La Liga actually had the biggest change from last year if you look up La Liga's card from FIFA 23 that looks a lot different and then this objective card is another one that is very, very simple we've seen the flashback already that is on the pitch notes that EA updated but that team of the year nominee card for me was like what there's no gold in there man usually team of the year is like gold and stuff so I don't know that still looks crazy but that is a little bit different from in previous years so guys one day closer to get on FC 24 I'm excited let me know down in the comments what cards you want me to look at and I will see you guys in another video tomorrow it's been Nathan with account and catch you guys later peace out
