 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Today's video is a bit of a different one. We're gonna be talking about so many things because there is a lot going on right now inside of FIFA 22. And also a lot of conversations, a lot of leaks actually going around this early for the next promo. Now I'm not gonna spend a lot of time talking about it, but potentially some foot freeze cards have been leaked already because people have these leaks evidently so early and they're already starting to post them. And we're gonna just bring up the conversation of leaks in FIFA this year for just a little bit, right? I don't wanna spend too much time on it, but I wanna talk about it for just a little bit because it has to be addressed, right? It has to be addressed because it is a very hot topic right now and it's been something that has been, you know, definitely more noticeable this year in FIFA 22 than it has been in years past. I wanna look at those leaked freeze players and talk about that. I mean, they're, again, leaks, right? So it's not confirmed, but so far the leaks this year have been pretty accurate. So we'll talk about some of that stuff. And then also the market right now, which is actually going kind of crazy with lightning rounds. I'm recording this at three, just past three AM UK. And we haven't had lightning rounds for the past two hours on this game, which on a Sunday seems a little bit crazy and I'm actually kind of surprised, but we have seen some prices move on the market in the last, basically hour. For some people that were going out and trying to buy some of these team of the group stage cards before Weekendly Rewards hit this morning on Monday, and some of these cards have taken a quick dip in price and it's maybe actually presented a little bit of a buy window. So if you're on an active and you saw this price dip, maybe you got involved with a few of these cards that have dipped down. I mean, Antony was just 180,000 coins. And right now, Fubin has him showing at 160. Wow, that's like a 20K drop, literally in the past hour. So I'm keeping an eye on this because these late night lightning rounds are making things very interesting. I also want to talk about Monday content, upgrade packs today, question mark, right? Road to the Knockouts are a very popular investment for a lot of people right now on this game as well. And I do want to talk about those. But first, I got to talk about the elephant in the room. If you guys have been on Twitter, you guys have seen this. And I want to talk about just why do I even mention leaks, right? I have to bring that up as well, but let's talk about it, right? So a couple of tweets going around, not just this specific one, but this is just the one that is, I feel like gaining the most traction. And this is the tweet that everybody is going back to. People have leaks for the upcoming Foot Freeze promo already. I mean, it is Monday, right? It is Monday. This promo is either this Friday or like next Friday. We have no idea when this is gonna be, most likely this coming Friday. And we already have names that are being leaked. Now, again, first things first, why am I showing you this? Well, my goal of having this channel and making YouTube videos, talking about FIFA and the market and this content on the game, is to give you the best analysis, what is to come, why things have happened. And basically when stuff impacts the market, I have to talk about it. I want to talk about it, to understand why this market moves. And when we have leaks, like as we've seen so much more this year than ever in years past, I would be doing you a disservice by not talking about leaks and how they affect the market when they are out, right? And so I can't just gloss over these and not talk about it. This is a big deal, right? And it does affect the market even this early in the week as people are already starting to expect some of these cards this weekend. No idea what the Foot Freeze promo is gonna look like and no idea if this is even halfway legit as of right now, but this is a leak already. And this is really just bringing up the topic on Twitter of people that are just posting leaks for clout. I understand why this guy is posting this leak, right? Why would he hold on to the names of these players when he can post them and get all the clicks and all that stuff? I mean, I understand why he's doing that. That's not my, that's never been my prerogative, right? That's why that's not my motivation for posting content is to just get clicks. I'm here to help, right? I'm here to help and inform to the best of my abilities and to have a conversation and talk things through on this ever changing and ever increasingly difficult market and game of FIFA 22. So I just think that it's crazy the leaks are coming out this early. I don't know what EA thinks about it. Of course, EA would imagine, I would imagine they would say, hey, we don't like these leaks. We wanna try to stop them, but they don't really put an effort out to do that. And it just seems like these leaks are coming out earlier and earlier and it comes down to like a moral issue, right? A lot of these people are saying, yes, I confirm that people have the freeze team. You think this is getting out of hand, stuff is getting leaked too early, blah, blah, blah. You know, it's just a really tricky situation where what do you value, right? Do you value the surprise? I don't necessarily don't like leaks, right? Every single week it feels like we know the cards that are coming out before the promo actually drops. And I just like that. I really do because I like the surprise factor. I like, you know, just kind of the anonymity, right? Of these cards when they're about to get dropped on the game, right? It's fine when the Champions League page like for these Team the Group stage cards last week, they posted a few of them an hour before. That's fine. I do a sponsored review like if Adidas would have tweeted out cards for the numbers up promo, which I think they might have done anyways, or we kind of knew which ones those were. I mean, literally every single promo this year has been leaked, right? So again, I just had to show you guys some of those names that are in there because there are some pretty big names and the people are gonna start to, you know, maybe invest in those gold cards. I mean, that's how it affects the market, right? People invest in those gold cards that are specifically or supposedly gonna go out of packs. People start to think about link investments. They think about selling cards for, you know, let's say, again, like one of the names that is in that team is Rashford, right? Maybe people will sell their Hyunmin Suns this week expecting a Rashford card. Now again, Foot Freeze has been like a position change promo. So Rashford might not be a left mid, but you know, I just, it's crazy. The leak situation right now on this game, the just, I don't know, I'm just not a huge fan of the leaks. I understand why people like to post them because it gets them clicks, but I'm not just here for clicks, man. I'm here for fun. I'm here to enjoy this game to the fullest that EA is wanting it to be enjoyed too. And of course we're putting our extra spin on it and putting extra time into the transfer market that EA of course doesn't expect all of us to do. But again, I don't want to really say too much more about that. I wanna know what you guys think down in the comments. Tell me what you guys think, right? I miss the surprise factor of some of these of these promo cards not being known like a whole entire three to four days or now like a week before the promo and before these players are gonna be out. I missed that bit of a surprise factor to that stuff. So we'll talk more about foot freeze if it is looking like it's gonna be coming later on this week. But I just had to show that to you guys there because it's gonna affect the market, right? It's gonna start to already affect the market. And I just hope that somehow in some way we can get those leaks closed up, right? Because I just feel like it doesn't promote a just, you know, it just promotes a lot of things that I don't necessarily stand for, right? I definitely stand for like honesty and stuff like that. And I feel like just leaks, nothing ever positive comes out of leaks, man. To be completely honest, it all just feels kind of like snakey and under the table. And, you know, you wanna know because everybody wants to be in the know, but I don't know, man, I just, I'm just never a big fan of those leaks in my personal opinion, but that's enough because we've talked about leaks for far too long. Let's talk about this market, right? And what is here in the now? Today is Monday, right? Today is Monday, week and week rewards. And a lot of these cards have actually dropped into rewards. If we go back and look at the team, the group stage team, yesterday on Sunday, wasn't a really crazy day of content. We had the Nementia SBC, Nementia, I don't even know if I'm saying his name correctly, Lucas Nementia for the goal of the group stage award. It's got a pretty nice upgrade from his silver card, but again, a lot of downvotes because this item at its price, although it does have some okay stats and Bundesliga strikers, especially in the pacy variety, there's not very many of them since Timo Werner has left the Bundesliga. So this card is filling a hole that needs to be filled in terms of there's not many pacy Bundesliga strikers or any at all, but he's just a little bit overpriced, three star weak foot, or sorry, three star skills and it just looks okay, right? It just looks okay. If they would have boosted the skills of the four star, four star and maybe added high medium work rates instead of medium, medium, maybe, and maybe this SBC about 50,000 coins cheaper, it might be a bit more well received, but that was our SBC yesterday and our three new cards that were released are Antony, right? Everybody's looking at this card and saying, isn't that just a copy paste of the Neres SBC, which it definitely is and this card is only 150,000 coins and it's probably gonna drop further on throughout the rest this week as these cards are in packs. Bruno Fernandez is in still, in my opinion, very overpriced, but that's how all of these cards were day one. 800,000 coins for Bruno at the moment when you compare this card to KDB, who is basically the same price, KDB blows him out of the water. So I know that Portuguese links are pretty big in this game with Renato and with the De Jalo card. Portuguese links, this fee for a pretty massive again, but I think this Bruno should be like another, I think this should be a 500K card in my honest opinion. Now I know the market is very high still. Again, we're trending higher, right? There hasn't been a huge drop off. There's been a few areas of selling. We'll talk about that today, but the market still overall is pretty high. So that's why I think that Bruno is up in price. Now the other card that we got yesterday was Toko Akambi and Trent Alexander Arnold. And this Trent Alexander Arnold card, to be honest with you, it just doesn't have a lot of hype around it because a Trent card is a right back with 84 pace. I'm sure he feels pretty decent in game and I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a good card to trade with, whether it be chemistry style trading with like shadow, with a shadow of course on the card. People are gonna say, hey, you can put a shadow on this card and he'll be a pretty solid right back. But to me, this looks like a pretty solid midfielder if I'm being completely honest with the passing stats that he has. But this Trent's a lot cheaper than his rule breaker item and that's just because he doesn't have the pace. So the mini release yesterday was okay, nothing insane. But again, these cards are gonna be a bit more rare as they always are. The cards that are released on the mini releases are more rare because they have less supply. They were not in packs for all the packs that were open on Friday and Saturday. They're only in packs for five days instead of seven. Now speaking of supply, today is again, weakening rewards, getting paid out and those lightning rounds that I mentioned that EA dropped at two and three AM UK time or nine or 10 PM Eastern, whatever time conversion that is for you. Are these selling out? 17,000, no, they're not gonna sell out. They're away in 30 minutes. So they started at I think like 27,000 or something like that or maybe even 30. So that's gonna get really close to selling out potentially not. But that's bringing some supply on the market and I'm actually looking into some of these cards before rewards, because I feel like people are gonna get some rewards today on Monday and you might see a few of these cards, you know, shoot up in price. One of them I looked at was Levandosky. Levandosky has been hurt big time by this Namensha card dropping. 240, that's a center mid position change with the Hunter, I'm gonna pick that up because Suley again has the kids all hyped right now. And this Levandosky card is really rare. He's really high rated, 93 rated. Again, I go up 20,000 coins and we have two pages of supply. And Levandosky is down like literally 240K. I'm pretty sure he was 310 or 320 before the Namensha SBC and SBC that a lot of people didn't like for the value of the card makes me really interested in this Levandosky for the how much he's dropped off for how rare he is. And just for the big name and the links that he has, right? The Sane card that is out as well. I bought a Dejalo tonight. Again, I know that there's those two big center backs that are out right now in this game with SBCs. I bought a Jalo tonight at 335 because when the first lighting round of the 85 plus star pack came out, he dropped like 20K in 15 minutes. I picked one up at 335, which is looking like a really good buy at the moment. And then I think I had a couple other, oh, I bought a couple Kiesas as well. Kiesas is still 220, but I was able to snag one at 214 and a 200 flat snipe. I got really lucky with those. So hopefully today after rewards, we see a bounce back on some of these items as people get their weekly rewards. I think you'll see that on the gold market as well. Wait a second, this is actually monumental. Gold Kempembe. Gold Kempembe is less than 10,000 coins, boys. Are you serious? Less than 10K for the best center back in the game. Okay, he's right at 9.9K. That's actually nuts. I just saw that on foot bin. But anyways, I do think you'll see a bit of the market bounce back today after the weekly rewards get paid out this morning on Monday. Now the lighting round should be over, right? Like maybe we'll see one more lighting round today. I'm still surprised that they're doing this many lighting rounds on a weekend. This must be the new normal for promo teams throughout the weekend when they do lighting rounds. It used to just be the six, seven, and eight PM UK lighting rounds on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And it looks like they're mixing it up. Is that 480 still sitting for Marquinhos? All right, I'm gonna take a look at this Marquinhos as well because this Marquinhos is a very rare card. And I think that he was 520K yesterday, really rare item, 480. Is that actually sitting still? Is that the cheapest one? It is. I'm gonna let that sit and see if foot bin undercuts it anymore because we have a whole page here at 500. So I'm gonna be a slight bit greedy since I know these lighting rounds have been coming out. If I can snag like a 475 on Marquinhos, I would love that. I would absolutely love that. Maybe on bid in the next hour or two. So I'm gonna try to snag one of those tonight potentially before the rewards timeframe and then maybe another level or two. If I can get 240, 240 or under is kind of my goal price on that Levandosky. And also I think if I get 150K on Antony, I think I kind of like that card as well. So again, these are pretty risky flips. Like to be completely honest, these are really risky because these guys are gonna get supplied more rewards. I just feel like there's gonna be enough demand after rewards that these cards are gonna pick up in price just a little bit and I'll probably sell them before 6PM UK today on Monday. Now again, let's talk Monday for a second, right? Upgrade packs are one of the most, I guess expected pieces of content that could be dropped today. You have got these cards. I think that also with rewards today, people are gonna go out and do the PK and Suley SBC with the coins that they get. So watch out for your Terstegen, your Alfonso Davies, your other links to these cards that have actually gone up a bit, which makes me remember DeYoung. Frankie DeYoung is a card that I'm slightly interested in. If he's down enough, he's been between like 200 and 215,000 coins. If I can get a Frankie DeYoung with a shadow right there at 204, I was really trying to get one of these like 190 something. If I could snag a DeYoung in the 190s, then I don't mind that because I think that he might rise up today with the supply. I mean, there's gonna be a few team of the weak packs paid out, of course. I'm not gonna be awake at rewards, but this might be a card that people would go and buy to try to link a new PK card that they maybe did after rewards as well in their team to try out and play a few games. So I just feel like there's not a ton of other content on this game that will pull people away from the market and trying cards out at the moment, which is why I'm sort of interested in flipping some of these Team of the Group stage items for a very quick flip, right? Very, very, very quick flip, that's for sure. But upgrade packs today, right? I don't know if it'd be a 75 plus player pick, an 80 plus player pick, 78 plus upgrade pack, but I would expect to see some sort of upgrade packs in the store today. Other than that, I'm really not sure what other content that we could be seeing today. I do know one thing that though, on the market people are starting to kind of feel a little bit bored, right? Just a little bit bored and people are investing on these road to the knockouts. And not that these cards getting invested only means that there is boredom out there, but Fred is literally up like 50,000 coins in the past day. He's actually 450, that's a slight undercut. He was 460 just a little bit ago. Taking a look at a few of these items on the market as well, comparing to the prices that we saw earlier this past weekend. Sinaldo's actually down about 30,000 coins. He was 555.60. Sane is up 20K. Tonali's about the same price. Graven Birch is rising. Rodrigo is rising. Hamari Treore, Robertson, Danjuma. People are really starting to go in on these road to the knockout cards that are getting either one upgrade later on this week or a double upgrade, right? Emobile is 110. I mean, he's getting an upgrade and that links to the new Quesa card that everybody's hyped about. So I'm kind of curious about Emobile because he keeps dropping off. He is gonna get upgraded, but there's a lot of eyes on cards like Diata and Tapsoba because Tapsoba is an 84. If they win their last game this week, he's gonna go to an 87. He's gonna get that double upgrade. Diata could go to an 86 with a double upgrade as well. So it's very interesting that a lot of people are investing in these again. I'm just gonna be very cautious with road to the knockouts for later on this week because I really feel like if you didn't get in early and you don't sell at the right time, again, these road to the knockout cards are no longer live after this week. Like these weeks, this week's games that we are seeing in the next few days after these games, wow, Emobile is not 110K footpin, you're capping. After this week's games, these cards are done so, right? They're not live and upgrading cards into the knockout rounds only for the group stages. So that is one thing that I'm trying to remember with these cards and that I don't wanna get stuck with them because I do feel like a lot of them, like Timo Werner still being almost a million coins. I know that he is gonna get, he's gonna go to a 90 rated card, but does that really make him worth this much on the market? Does it really make him worth almost a million coins? I don't think so. I think this card is overpriced and I think that there's gonna be a decent amount of these RTTK cards that drop off after this week, after their games are played, even if they're still gonna get upgrades, but after the upgrades come as well, maybe early next week or late this week, I think you'll start to see some of those dropping off. So that's just kind of what's going on on the market right now. Again, the rewards timeframe today is gonna be a bit interesting. Watch your like Van Dyke team of the week card. Some of these really rare items from team of the week, if you wanna snag a Griezmann for your team, you know, into the 30K range might not be a too terrible time. It's basically gonna be one of the, a big time of supply for the team of the week and for some of these cards as well, even though there are impacts for the rest of the later on this week, some of these cards might get to very near low points because the content is very quiet this week. Some of these cards might get near low points early on. So again, we don't know what's coming later on this week. They could drop any sort of SBC or preview packs. You guys know all the potentials that they could drop, right, at any time. But it doesn't seem like EA is going all out for this promo. It seems like it's just they're doing a decent enough a bit of content to make things interesting. So that's why I'm kind of keeping an eye on some of these cards tonight because especially like a brand new item like Antony, just kind of keeping an eye on this because again, like 160 AK, how many pages do we have here? We have two. So there's definitely some people that are trying to buy up these cards tonight and make an investment in them before rewards, but these lightning rounds that have come out in the past two hours have really, you know, really, really took these cards down a price a decent amount. Speaking of cards that are down a price a decent amount, the high tier icons, people are really starting to expect icon swaps and prime icons very soon in this game. R9 middle, this mid R9 is 9.7 million right now. He's actually down like 1.5 million coins. Holit mid was 6.8 mil on Friday. He is now 5.7 million coins. So these upper tier, these elite tier icons, people are finishing off some of their week in weeks, some of the qualifier matches that were played this weekend and these guys are getting sold big time. So that's an update on that sort of the market as well. I think that's just people selling before icon swaps. Don't know when icon swaps is gonna be. We're probably gonna talk about that later on this week. Hopefully EA Sports give us some more confirmation and some more official updates on icon swaps. We want some communication EA please. That would be very, very, very nice. So again, I know I just talked about the market a lot, but again, referring back to the very beginning of the video, I know there's a lot of leaked stuff going around. Just read into that as much as you wanna read into that, right? If you wanna believe those leaks fullheartedly and make some investments, you might make some profit, but I mean, that's also stuff that's like five days away and I would rather not put myself in a position where I'm trusting leaks for five days and waiting for something to happen and I would rather go and make some moves on the market myself, trading with icons or trading with some of these popular cards like we do anyways on this game. So a very interesting video again for sure, but let me know what you guys think down below about the leaks, about foot freeze content and again about these Team of the Group stage cards and the lighting rounds that EA is running. I'm very curious to see how much more Champions League related content we have throughout this week on FIFA Ultimate Team. So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy some action thumbs up on a comment down below if you have any questions, of course, and subscribe if you are new. It has been Nate with Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
