 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. The Foot Birthday loading screen is here, and it is confirmed now that we will have Foot Birthday coming this Friday in FIFA 21. That is what the loading screen is for, of course. And it's finally nice to have something confirmed about Foot Birthday. We thought it was gonna be last Friday on FIFA's actual birthday, and it's gonna be this Friday instead, which is gonna be good. It's gonna be good, and hopefully we get some more updated loading screens throughout the week. They're starting this early with loading screens. That makes me think that they're gonna possibly update it every single day tomorrow, or sorry, today on Wednesday, tomorrow on Thursday. We should get at least two updates to that loading screen possibly first with the car designed today. And that would be, in my opinion, what I think they would update the screen first with today on Wednesday. Probably won't change too much. They'll just add the card to it, which supposedly right now, this is the card. It's a little bit of a leak. They've been tossing it around on Twitter, but this is what the card supposedly looks like, kind of similar to the loading screen. I need to see it in full res before I really start to make an opinion on it, but not too sure what I think about that at the moment, but that is supposedly what is going around. Now also, I wanna say this, right? Because this is such a big promo, and everybody on FIFA right now just feels starved of a promo in foot. So people are like thinking, and there's a lot of leaks going around, and I'll say this, there's so much energy and hype about foot birthday, just building. Be careful with what leaks you see, and what people are telling you about what is gonna happen or who is in. Because of course, when we get a promo like this, everybody likes to build the hype by putting up players that could potentially be in or telling you that there are leaks, right? Now, making a prediction, right? And making concept cards is very different than making or declaring something as a leak. So just wanna say that and put that out there, because I don't really know if people have legit leaks, because we are still multiple days before this promo. Unless you work at EA, I feel like you really, really don't know. So just be careful with what you see on some of that stuff. As we know, you can, there's people that tweet out quote unquote leaks, five minutes before an SBC is gonna be dropped, and it's a completely different player. So, you know, Mbappe player of the month reference there, if anybody understands that one. But I just wanna talk about what happened on the market yesterday with that loading screen. Was there panic and will it continue? There was a little bit, right? We did see a little bit of the market drop. Honestly, I think the place where I saw the biggest market drop was two different places, right? SBC fodder was place number one, and number two were some of the moments icons. Now, some of those moments icons are very, very low at the moment, but a lot of stuff was actually lower pre 6 p.m. There was a lot of sell off pre 6 p.m. yesterday on Tuesday. I remember one card specifically, this Usman Dembele freeze item, who was already low at about 1.08, I think 1.08, he's 1.05 right now. There was one that went on bid for 1 million coins, basically 1 mil flat earlier today, which was a very, very, very low price. Even 1.05 is pretty low right now. So, there was a lot of panic selling yesterday pre content drop on icons, on special cards specifically, and some of those bounced back a little bit, not a ton, some of them bounced back, but it made for some potential flipping scenarios, which I was able to just now flip a Campbell that I got at 600,000 coins flat, so that was a nice one. I got this Bruno at low 3.30s, trying to flip him, and got a couple Orsik that I'm flipping, couple random cards that just got low today that I'm trying to flip at the moment and make some coins on the market, but there was a decent amount of sell off. Now, I don't think you saw crazy, crazy panic, right? And that they think we were looking to see if there was gonna be panic, but as I look at prices across the game, I'm really not seeing panic. I'm just seeing a little bit more of a sell off, right? And I honestly think that with that big loading screen out, and with more speculation about foot birthday, and cards that could be in, and all that sort of stuff, you're probably gonna see stuff continue to just trickle downwards, maybe fluctuate a little bit, but there's not gonna be a lot of incentive for people to buy and try cards, and to buy players off the market right now, because of a big promo that is coming. So I think that will probably hold some people back from buying Inforums and special cards. So yes, you can still trade with some of these, but make sure you're really getting a good deal and the price is low. Like this David at 91K, that is low. He was like 110 earlier today, 91,000 coins is very cheap. But honestly, I expect, I think, the market to keep sliding downwards a little bit further, even into today on Wednesday, during in some areas for sure, I would continue to expect that, because people are gonna see the card design, like right now, maybe some people that are more casuals, they see that loading screen and they have no idea what that means. They just see that and like, hmm, that looks to be like some sort of promo is coming, but what is that actually? Wow, 91K for this Jonathan David card is literally just sitting there. He was like 110 earlier today, which still looks like he is pretty rare. So you know what? I'm gonna fluctuation trade this, pick up this Jonathan David, center attacking mid position change as well, and I'm gonna list that up for maybe, let's say 105, we'll try 105 with a position change and the chemistry style, and maybe we'll get a sale on that card in the next, in the next little bit, because it looks like for some reason, he's dropping off right now. Anyways, that's a fluctuation trade. I feel super confident about that one. You know, 91K up to 105, that's a nice little bit of profit right there. That's the kind of stuff you can be doing right now if you want to. Now, there's still a little bit of risk involved, because again, like I just mentioned, there's not a lot of people going out and buying, but out of pack specials constantly fluctuate, and if you pick up a buyer, you find one buyer, boom, you make a nice flip. So that's kind of the ways that I would be trading right now, but then to speak about what kind of sell-off we saw today, we actually saw a pretty big sell-off and the most panic, I would say, on high rated SBC fodder, because what happened was there was no icon player pick released, no big time SBC that released required high rated cards. So a lot of people said, oh no, full birthday is confirmed, that means pack supply coming on Friday, so they sold off a lot of their high rated cards. I saw Matt Hummels today who was out of packs with his man of the match card. By the way, all the man of the matches are in packs until today on Wednesday at 6 p.m., then they go away, but this guy was out of packs today and I should have bought more of them. I only bought one of them at 39,000 coins. He was panic sold from 50K all the way down to 40, and then went back up to 46, because he is out of packs. And yes, he still has demand because people are doing SBCs still, because there's not a lot to do. So people are still crafting and doing some SBCs. So there was a market movement right there today that I took advantage of in a small portion, but it could have been more. And then of course, you saw a decent amount, like Kimmich is 52K. Some of these 88 rated dropped off a decent amount, I believe, from what they were earlier, 58K down to 52 for Kimmich. So some of the stuff, if you have high rated fodder, it's kind of a tough predicament, right? Because you're like, yeah, I bought this stuff. Hoping for SBCs, like people were buying De Bruyne over 100K and now he's down at 98. I guess you could kind of hold on if you wanted to until after rewards. Maybe some people get their coins and the stuff goes up. But again, you probably have marquee matchups and rewards that might supply the market a little bit. But I still, with a loading screen out, I don't expect that many people to open packs. But some people obviously will because they want to get coins to complete whatever SBCs that they're working on. But I do think that you'll probably still see a little bit of sell-off. I wouldn't call it panic, just a little bit of sell-off throughout this week. Now, one thing to watch today is the what-if cards that are getting upgraded, right? Leme Lu is one of them, Mertens. Where are the other guys at? Satcho's already upgraded, Jovic and Regulan. Those are the four cards that are getting upgraded today, guaranteed as a part of what-if upgrades for completing their objectives. 100% keep an eye on those. Regulan was like 2.17, I think, early on the day on Tuesday. And some of these guys have actually dropped off from where they were, and there's not as much hype. So just kind of be careful with these if you have any of them, because the hype is 2.1 or K for Regulan. The hype is dying a little bit on some of these cards. Now, maybe it rises up a little bit right before the upgrade, but I think people are starting to catch on that these cards really do not go up in price for their upgrades. They usually drop after the upgrade and then maybe rebound back a little bit later, kind of like Mbabu has, but most of them continue to drop until the upgrade. But again, what does foot birthday being confirmed mean for this game once again? Honestly, I just think that more people will go into pack save mode. Like if you're somebody who likes to trade on a low budget or you wanna try to trade where it's hot right now, I would go out and I know it's not the most glamorous thing, but trading with league SBCs, right? Because people are gonna be stacking packs and completing these SBCs to get packs for the upcoming promo that is on Friday. That's the number one thing that I think people are gonna be doing in the SBC section right now. Yes, people are also gonna be stocking the rare golds and non-rare golds because you have got a 81 plus double SBC and 82 to 88 and the 83 plus repeatable. People are gonna be stocking those and even completing those 81 plus SBCs that are out right now in order so that they can get their clubs ready for potential icon player picks or just to open more packs on Friday. So I don't think that gold rares and non-rares have gone up at all, but now 100% since the promo was confirmed, yeah, it looks like these are going on bid for 300 to 350 coins so they're not actually getting bought up. Now it's still a 100% insane great time. These are basically a discard to stock your club with non-rares and for rares for when upgrade packs would come out during foot birthday. And of course, as we talk about leaks and stuff, as people start to mention leaks, like maybe Jonathan David is down right now because there's the leak going on, like he might get into the Future Stars promo or sorry, the foot birthday promo or whatever. I hear a lot of talk about Ferlan Mendy, right? I don't really think you can link and vest to the foot birthday players that will be coming out and yes, there's gonna be a lot of people that probably start to buy. Let's say like we get a loading screen on Thursday and it shows Brazil in the middle, smack dab in the middle with like one stat or something like that or maybe a PSG badge or center attacking mid with Brazil. That's obviously gonna make people think about Neymar. One thing you're gonna see when we start getting hints and when we start hearing about players gonna be in this promo, you're gonna start seeing people going and buying the gold version that will be going out of packs because if it's a meta card, like a lot of these guys are, it's one investment that is very, very popular among people in trading groups in this game is they go buy the card and it's gonna go out of packs. Like if Neymar looks to be on the loading screen, you're probably gonna see some people going buy this Neymar because it'll be out of packs, right? So that's kind of one thing that I would watch out for. I don't really get involved in any of that stuff but that is one thing I do think you will see. Now I wanna talk about the saved pack aspect of this too and fodder once again. Now as we watch some of these special card prices maybe fluctuate and continue to head downward into the weekend. You know, one thing you're really, really, really gonna wanna plan yourself, right? I always talk about for big promos, making a plan for yourself. What do I wanna do with this promo? Do I wanna buy a team? Do I want to trade and make the most coins possible? Or do I wanna open upgrade packs or just try out some of the new players? Obviously with the number of packs that are saved and what has been going on related to SBC fodder being very, very inflated, that's why you saw sell off today because people are expecting with all the supply that's gonna come on Friday, they're expecting fodder to drop which I think is a very realistic and probably is gonna happen expectation for the market on Friday when the foot birthday promo drops and all those packs are open. But I just wanna say that I know there's gonna be tons of people looking to buy SBC fodder on Friday when the promo drops in the first couple hours on bid, on snipe, whatever it may be because people are gonna see that, hey, it's dropped down and it's probably gonna go back up. Yes, I do think fodder will go back up at some point. I don't know though since there's been so much hype about buying fodder recently and we still have so many SBCs that are out in the store. I am never somebody that really goes like insane, insanely deep in SBC fodder but I know there's gonna be a lot of people that will be doing that on Friday. So just be careful when there's a lot of people that are going to invest in something like that, EA know that they have been making SBC fodder very, very lucrative for traders in this game right now. That's why they released the Foot Player Days promo to drop it all down. Well then of course they released more SBCs and it goes right back up again. So I would just say if you're buying fodder this weekend I don't like the huge play of going all in just yet. I would wait and see of course what comes out more so with the promo. We're probably gonna get some big icon player big SBC once again but just a club stock in my mind is the way to go. I mean if you see some of these cards like Jordy Obla's 33,000 coins which is down 100%. If you see this guy back down at 30,000 coins which is kind of like a low for him like 86's and 30K's and below is kind of where they went a couple weeks ago during Foot Player Days right here 30K. They were up at like 40, they went down to 30 then they went back up to 40 this week and now they're kind of coming back down again. If you see them back down in that buyable price pick a price for these cards where you say hey I wanna buy this 86 rated or 86 rated cards I wanna buy at 30K and below because I know that they will at some point go to 40 to 42K. Pick a price, right? Don't pick a time. That's about my number one my number one advice on SBC fodder investing will be pick a price not a time because if you pick the price you know that this Tony Cruz card is 55K right now. He spiked to 76K when the icon player pick came out and he was around 60,000 coins earlier this week. Right now he's 55. You look at his lows. All right, you know low 40s on Xbox and mid 40s on PlayStation. That might be a decent buy for a Tony Cruz card like this. That's what I would do with this fodder if you wanna buy it this weekend with the promo. And I'm gonna talk about this a little bit more in the next couple of days but I feel like this is one of the biggest areas right now where everybody is focusing in on especially with informs, right? Of course you wanna sell informs because EA, I feel like EA is gonna supply them somehow and they're probably gonna continue to drop. There's gonna be a new team of the week today which is gonna supply some informs on the market but unless there's tradable packs applied today on Wednesday there's not gonna be many people that are opening packs anyway. So I don't know how the informs are gonna work today on Wednesday with a new team of the week coming out but I'm thinking that some people are expecting those informs to be a little bit cheaper than some of the cheapest rated ones on the market right now which will drop some of that market. And again, I mean one thing EA could do is drop one of those team of the week repeatable SBCs. I don't really think doing best of team of the week would drop fodder prices for team of the week cards but I think we are at the point when EA corrected fodder with foot player days when they corrected the whole SBC fodder market I feel like we're at a point where EA kind of needs to do that again especially with informs and that's why it would just make sense for them to drop some sort of inform upgrade repeatable team of the week SBC soon. I know I mentioned that a couple of times and it hasn't happened yet but I still feel like that is something that could be on the horizon. But again, just for the market this week, Thursday flipping, we'll talk a little bit here about that at the end. I think some stuff worked last week just because there was nobody that was investing and I think people are gonna be scared as well this week to invest but a lot of times what we've seen is when people are scared to invest that's honestly when you see some of the best movements and some of the best profits is when people are scared to invest. So maybe just look around the market this tonight on Wednesday, if you see cards drop a little bit more think about some stuff that is very meta, that is very popular, that people are always buying on Thursdays that always seems to go up like this Bomba Inform, right? Use flip into your advantage. Go check out some of these informs that fluctuate every single week. If you go take a look at this guy's card his movements are actually kind of wild. This Bomba is, I guess I won't find out because it's kicking me out but let's do a quick little search here on Bomba. Not the 87, I want the 84. 84 rated team of the week Bomba is 66,000 coins but if you take a look at his graph, boom, he went from 55 to 71. Last week, he was 58, 58K, boom, he went to high 60. So right now he's still in the high of him in 60s so that may not be the best Thursday flip but find a card like this that has had movements similar to this Bomba in the last two weeks, right? You go through here on your all team of the week's page, you scroll down, click on a couple random team of the weeks and just look at the players that are inside there. Like this Cancelo is a very meta card. You know, this Delaney links to a lot of the new cards in the SBCs and the players that we have had recently, this guy goes from like 90 to 100K. That's not big profit but if you wanna try to do a little bit of Thursday flipping, that's where you could look and maybe on some meta golds as well, you take a look at a guy maybe like a Bomb Yang if he moves around every single week. How much does Van Dyke move? 118K right now, 21 million games played. He really doesn't move much. He goes from like 109. You know what, last week he went from 109 to 120. So that's not the best flip ever but if you got some Van Dyke's at 105 on bid, soul him at 120 to 123, that'd be a decent Thursday flip. So there are some of like the gold cards and some of the specials that I think could be flippable this week because there's ultimately gonna be a little bit of demand after rewards on Thursday. Not a lot because people get coins, people are saving their packs but there will be a little bit of demand in my opinion but until we get to Friday and I think it's probably just gonna be a slow little bit of drop-off. If there is any sort of panic, it might be because of cards that are on the loading screen. If there's any cards that are made clear to us that it could be X player, Y player that would cause a lot of panic, that's something that I do think we will see. Now I'm gonna talk about how we can maybe make some more coins with this promo tomorrow as we maybe learn a little bit more about it and of course talking about that first hour supply and what that is gonna mean for the market on Friday because it's gonna be crazy, right? The first couple hours on Friday, on promo Friday is gonna be pretty nuts. So anyways, if you guys are stacking packs, foot drafts are kind of a way to do that right now. League SBCs, that's a way if you want to try to get some packs, you can 100% do it. Just hop on open bids, that's my 100, you can see like on my transfer list, I'm looking at a lot of open bids like I missed this Renato, I missed this Zanetti for 306 and open bid because I would have been able to sell this at the 330, 340 range. That would have been a nice bit of profit. I missed a Van Anholt rule breaker at like 116, I think it's right here. That sells for like 130,000 coins. So open bids are 100% the way to go. Man of the matches again, Orsic, Pogba, Vasquez, those guys go out of packs today and these guys are very rare. So these are kind of interesting plays to me. The Pogba position change, I don't know how much demand there is. The Orsic car doesn't have very good links but as a super sub maybe Lucas Vasquez possibly just kind of keep an eye on those cards because they're very rare because there were not a lot of packs opened while those guys were in the game. So that's kind of my thoughts on the market right now talking about what could happen over the next couple of days and just talking about this market in FIFA. So it's going to be interesting to see what they update the loading screen with. I'm just expecting the car design and that's about it. I don't expect a big Wednesday of content. Maybe one other like player SBC, I'm really not sure what they're going to do. I know you see all marquee matchups because of course there's no championship games this week and it'll be interesting to see who gets in team of the week today as well to see if we have any headliner upgrades and stuff like that. But again, with the market, the way that is one last word on the what if cards, I would probably take the safe cash and you know, regular lawn was a 200K flat when I just looked, that's really low but I don't even know if this guy goes back to like 215 maybe this morning on Wednesday pre-content drop for a little bit, but there's so many listed overnight at 210. That's, there's just a lot of investors that were involved here. And if you saw the biggest drops on cards yesterday after the loading screen, the biggest drops on the market were where there were the most investors, right? So that is one thing that we did see today. One quick word as well. I know I keep saying one quick word but the Chicharito SBC, I want to make a quick comment about this because this is coming in at 75,000 coins. This card is not very meta for the three star, three star. The stats look good, but the three star, three star and the work rates do not. This is basically some almost the same price as 89 rated fodder right now. Informs, if you have an untradable inform in your club, do this SBC because it's going to be like 50K if Informs weren't so inflated, this would be like a 50K SBC. And honestly, if you want to wait six days, who knows what happened six days. We could have a team like SBC that would drop SBC fodder in the inform range and with all the packs applied, this SBC might end up being 55 to 60,000 coins on the weekend. So if that is the case and you don't have the stuff to do in your club from scratch or if you're going to be opening upgrade packs on the weekend when a foot birthday comes out, that will be a fantastic time to do this Chicharito SBC for fodder or just for fun. Of course, it links to the Santos, Vella, all that kind of stuff. And then of course, we did get the brand new MLS two foundations with kind of that Gyao card being the only like good looking one out of all those. I don't know about Auro and Wanyama. Of course, Wanyama spurs old spurs player. I almost said old fashioned, that's not old fashioned. He was there like what, three years ago? Anyways, it was just kind of a, the loading screen was 100% the biggest part of our content yesterday on Wednesday. I expect it to be probably the updated loading screen to be the biggest part of our content today as well as the team of the week on FIFA 21.
