 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant, and welcome back to the channel. EA Sports did something yesterday on FIFA 23 that they almost never do, and that is drop an insane value SBC for a pro level meta card. And yes, I'm talking about the JARZENIO IKON SBC. That's what I'm gonna break down today and take you through why it's such a big deal that we got that SBC at the price point that we did at this time of the year, and also with what's out right now with Winter Wild Cards, and what's coming with Team of the Year. In the next 30 days, that card's gonna be a must complete SBC for a lot of people. If you set your mind to it, it might take you a lot less work than you actually think. So we're gonna take a look through that, and of course, today's a Thursday, right? We got Marquis matchups, of course, we expect that every Thursday, but something that we don't know about today is what's gonna happen with the loading screen, with the leagues, with just the news in general, with Winter Wild Cards team one leaving packs tomorrow with rewards today, with Marquis matchups, as we mentioned, it's a big day for supply. I expect to see the Winter Wild Cards dropping today in price, could that mean there's a good potential to invest in a couple of these cards before they go out of packs? And could we see a loading screen today, just kind of teasing us some of the new Winter Wild Cards for team number two, of course, we do know this is a two week promo, it says on EA's website, I mean, every time they say a team one, right, which they have said and multiple things for this team right now for Winter Wild Cards, we know there's a team two coming. So really interested to see if we get in some details on that today, maybe some leaks, maybe a loading screen, we're gonna talk about a lot today. So if you're excited for it, hit the thumbs up and subscribe if you're new. We gotta start by talking about this big time, Icon SBC, and we're talking about a player SBC, guys. I mean, in these days in FIFA, everybody gets excited for the gamble packs, right? Like the 86 plus hero player picked it was out a couple of days ago, that's what people get excited for. But back in the day, the Icon SBCs, remember when these first came out, like FIFA 18, FIFA 19, these got people so excited because it gave you a chance at getting a really good level, really high tier player, an Icon player, at a fraction of the cost on the market because you were able to craft that player through SBCs and still get packs back, and then you didn't have to worry about the card throughout the rest of the year because you had it intradable, untradable in your ultimate team. I mean, the draw is still there for Icons. Yes, the chemistry for Icons this year is not that great. But when you drop an SBC like this, which is what EA did yesterday, they dropped a Jarzino 90, which this is a brand new icon of FIFA, so there's hype for that in the initial stage. Secondly, he's five star skills, four star weak foot, really, really, really insane card in game. So insane, in fact, that this is a pro level card. Peros had been using this card during the year that he has been out. I mean, this guy was three and a half million coins at the beginning of the year. Absolutely mental player that EA have dropped before the elite came out that he was gonna get an SBC. This guy was 1.5 to 1.6 million coins, and the SBC cost is coming in right around a million coins, and that's with SBC fodder even rising slightly in price because people are going out and buying it to do this SBC. That's what I wanna spend a time talking about this SBC because it's just insane that EA have released this elite level player, a pro card, card that a pros use, right? For so many people, this card seems unattainable off the market, 1.1 million coins right now, of course, dropping off because the value of the SBC is insane, and then of course, as we talked about too, I mean, this guy was 1.5 million coins a couple weeks ago, but a million coin SBC, a lot of us know, you can get this done for a lot less than a million coins. You're not buying every single fodder player for this, you've got stuff in the club, and of course, right now, when winter wild cards, it is so easy to craft with the player picks that we have here, the league SBCs to get fodder, you've got all the swaps packs that are available from Winter Wild Cards Swaps, 83 times 25 times three to 85 times 10, all of those, and then you've got all these extra random packs here, the Winter Wild Cards Daily Login, everybody yesterday got a 84 times five pack. Today on Thursday, we're all gonna be getting 50K packs and tradable, if you've been keeping up with this daily SBC, you've got loans coming, you've got 85 doubles every single day, 81 times 11s upcoming. Fodder is so easy to come by right now in this game, especially the extra packs for doing the league SBCs. You've got extra player picks for footchamps this week. Guys, fodder is everywhere. That means that it is so much of a great time to craft an SBC like this Jardzino, so EA could literally have not dropped this grade of an SBC at any better of a time and get this. Oh, let's say you don't wanna do them right now, like me, I'm focusing on Tony Cruz, Payette, somebody's Winter Wild Card SBCs. This guy's gonna be out in a month during the height of team of the year, which is another incredible, incredible crafting opportunity. A lot of packs will be out, a lot of upgrade packs will be out, and everybody will be trying to pack team of the years and also getting a lot of fodder. So this for me is an incredible, incredible SBC. You're gonna be able to get it done over the next couple of weeks, or get it done right away with the fodder that you have at a really, really solid price. I mean, when an SBC like this is actually a million coins from a straight up craft value, you can probably end up getting it done for 500K or less, and a lot of people, a lot less than that because of just getting fodder from those upgrade packs. That's why this SBC is so good. And again, let me reiterate, this is a guy that multiple people have talked to me about, is one of the most meta cards in this game when it comes to attackers. And you can tell, right? People are going out and doing this SBC, and this was even all week when we had the hype leading up to this SBC. Like this leak was last week, right? You saw us price drop off a lot, and everybody wanted to know, when is the JARZIUM SBC gonna drop? When is this SBC gonna be in the game? There's just so much hype around this card, and that hype is warranted because he's actually insane in game. Now, let's talk about fodder, right? Because if there's an SBC like this that is out, it's making fodder go up. Normally player SBCs don't have this big of a market impact on fodder, but when the player SBCs are this insane of value, they do. Take a look at Benzema, right? Of course, yesterday with the couple high rated squads instead of JARZIUM, exploded 51K up to about 55 to 56K. All of these 91s are up about four, five, 6,000 coins a card. Lewandowski, Benzema, De Bruyne, and then your 90 rated cards are up a lot as well. Yesterday at the content drop, I went right to the market after seeing JARZIUM, and spam bought a little bit of fodder because yes, it was up, right? It was 41,000 coins, and these guys were like 39K yesterday. But this stuff was instantly in demand as people were going out and doing those high rated squads of the JARZIUM SBC. So your 89s, 90s, and 91s had the biggest rise yesterday. Some people might be like, Nate, why did 88s not go up that much? Well, they did go up a little bit, but only like one to 2,000 coins per card. And really, I'm just starting to notice that the 88 section of fodder does not move as good as we thought it did throughout this year. Like, 88s did insanely well during Black Friday, but that was because there was a specific 88 or higher requirement in that big SBC for the World Cup heroes, right? So the fact of the matter is, when you see 87 plus rated squads getting released onto the game, the fodder to look at is actually like the 90 to 91 rated cards. If we look in here, at the highest two rated squads of JARZIUM, look at the cheapest way to do this, right? We'll sort by cheapest price. The cheapest SBC is 300,000 coins. So look what the cheapest way to do it is. You throw in the 90s to 91s and then you throw in some 87s, 86s, couple 89s. That is the cheapest way to get an 89 rated squad done as a part of the JARZIUM SBC is to use those really high rated players and then throw in a couple of lower ones. Even for the 88 squad, you take a look at the cheapest way to do it. You're throwing in some 84s, a couple 88s, but then you have some 89s in here, right? That's what's making the really high tier on fodder go up the most is these solutions, the cheapest way to do it, and the way fodder is priced right now is the 88s don't have as much demand because it's actually this elite top tier fodder. If there's ever an elite tier of fodder, elite for the rating, right? The 91s, the 90s and the 89s, they're just getting used more in these SBCs. Now personally, I will be looking to take the cash. Like all the fodder cards that I bought, I have them lazy listed. I'm hoping for a little bit of a bounce today after the division rivals rewards timeframe, people might go out and get some coins and go and do these sorts of SBCs and be working on Jarzino and stuff. So I've been lazy-listing my cards, right? Courtois, I've been selling it like 47K, which isn't really that big of a lazy list anymore. I've got some cards like the Benzema listed up. I got the Monne's listed up. So I'm selling a few for lazies and hopefully that continues today, but I would be looking to get out of that stuff before tomorrow and Friday. Hopefully today we see a bit of a rise and we can get out of it then because with Friday comes lightning rounds, more supply and yes, people are going to want to do the Jarzino SBC over the weekend, but a lot of supply comes in on the weekend and also people are gonna know that and they're gonna start to panic sell, especially later on into the day on Thursday. I do expect to see your fodder prices dropping just because people will expect them to drop and they wanna try to get ahead of that price drop. So just be very careful with your fodder, but it did see a nice rise and there's a lot of profit there. The low tier fodder continues to do okay. It's down a little bit. I mean, your 84s are now at 4,000 coins. If you take a look at the market index, it's actually very interesting. This to me shows that a lot of people are doing Jarzino because where was the tradable pack supply that was dropped on the game yesterday? The Jarzino packs that you get from doing that SBC. That's the only place there was tradable supply yesterday. I mean, yes, there were store packs, but no lightning rounds. So a lot of people are doing Jarzino just because of the supply that you're seeing. Even some of the winter wildcard prices, they're not really down per se, but some of them are down or at least they didn't go up yesterday where a lot of the rest of the market still is slightly rising. Klaus Sherman's 81. That might be an undercut. He's been around 84.85. Yes, it's an undercut. So he's still around 85,000 coins. Kante is still 840. Jaw Felix is down because of course, a lot of your right wing players with how insane this card is and how many people are going out and doing the Jarzino. That's one place where the market was impacted big time yesterday for transitioning from talking about fodder to just the meta market in general. Right wings were down like crazy. Alawayrun was 600,000 coins yesterday before the SBC was dropped. He went down to like 550,560. He is now back up towards 600K. You have some other elite wing players like this Figo card who can play right wing. Other versions of Jarzino are down. The Messi team in the tournament card which is a combination of impacts right now and being panic sold. He's down like over 100,000 coins. He was over 1.2 mil. He is in the low 1.1s. Of course, Garencha's cards are down a lot too. He was in 1.1 mil. That was a 1.4 mil card yesterday. The World Cup icon Garencha is like 870,000 coins at the moment. He was 1.1 yesterday. So a lot of your elite tier right wing players are down but then on the flip side some of your Brazilian links and some of your Brazilian meta players like Marquinhos, Lucio, other Brazilian icons. These guys are up as people are linking some of these to the Jarzino they have in their teams. Now also you have to think about it. It's not that hard to link an icon. Of course, icons don't contribute to your team's chemistry that well this year in FIFA but icons themselves are automatically on three chemistry points. You just pop them into the team and you kind of go from there. So maybe if you have some other Brazilian links that need some help, that helps out for chemistry which is like Danny Alves was a card specifically yesterday that went up from about 130,000 coins I believe. He was like 150 to 160. Is he still there? Yeah, he's 150, 160,000 coins. So a card like this benefits greatly from Jarzino. It was tough to get him links before. Now it's a bit easier with those nation links that a Jarzino can provide. So a lot of talk about Jarzino but that's because that was the hype yesterday and again, just the fact that SBC is out. Seriously consider crafting that over the next couple of weeks on this game. You will not be disappointed because that card is, I can't tell you how many times I've been dusted by that card and weak and weak and rivals and whenever I faced them honestly. So definitely keep an eye on that. That was a crazy happening from yesterday. Could that also mean that we see another icon SBC today because if you do remember, Jarzino was leaked alongside of baby Maldini. I think there is potential that we could see Maldini today or in the coming days. I mean, it even seemed far fetched that we were gonna get this Jarzino and if you wanna do a quick cheap version of him, do the lone version five games, try him out on friendlies, see how you like him and then you can undertake the full version if you would like to get that now you're ready to card in your club. But maybe we see Maldini today. Who knows, Thursday used to be the day where we would get icon player SBCs. We'll have to see if they end up doing a Maldini today. That's something that's on our radar for today on Thursday. But let's talk more about Thursday. We've already mentioned the market a little bit, right? With the rivals rewards and fodder, hopefully going up a bit as people are going out and crafting. Now for the rest of the market, people still take, guys, I mean, some of you guys might even do this, a lot of people still take tradable rivals rewards and you've got a lot of the Christmas newbies or some people will call them newbs, but people that have gotten the game for Christmas doesn't necessarily mean they're newbs. They might have just waited to get the game until now. You're gonna have some extra supply today from rivals rewards, in my opinion, because you got more players on the game. And I think there's a lot of these Winter Wild Cards that today and tomorrow we need to keep an eye on for potential rises out of packs because this Winter Wild Cards team is still, I mean, we have some really insane cards in here with some position changes and some skill move, weak foot boost and just some really good promo cards, first promo cards of the year for guys like Conte, Sancho, Felix, stuff like that. Mendee as well. Just to look back at last year and show you guys how well some of these cards did out of packs, look at a guy like Twanzaby. Twanzaby was his lowest on the Thursday, Wednesday and Thursday, before he went out of packs. He went from 150,000 coins to on the weekend being basically 200,000 coins on both consoles and then two weeks later, 236K. That's a really good-looking card. There must have been a lack of Prem Centerbacks last year because that card this year would not probably rise up as much but even remember the overpowered Jonathan David. You know who reminds me of Jonathan David this year? Lacazette, although Lacazette is a lot more expensive. Jonathan David was 94K last year and rose to 180,000 coins because he was so OP in game and so many people wanted to go ahead and use him. Even on the top tier, look at Pogba, kind of reminds you of a Conte type card, right? Not 100%, but somewhere in there. Pogba was 950 at his lowest on Thursday, went up the next week to 1.1 million coins. Now of course it all does depend on the content that we continue to get. If we continue to get insane player SBCs, which is not really what we see leaked. Again, we talked about that yesterday. The leaked player SBCs that we have right now don't look that great. Yesterday was the start of those where we saw a player SBC that was like, not that good, right? We had the Okello SBC which for a lot of people this is just not usable and boring so they're gonna skip over, right? 1,500 down votes. This is nice if you're an MLS fan, stock it in the club, 15K, really easy to get. But that's not an SBC on the level of the Payet, on the Tony Cruz. Hopefully today things change and turn around a little bit with the Eric Baye. I really think it might be Eric Baye today or Celas, but it could be some of these other guys that have been leaked, that are just a little bit lower tier like we looked at in yesterday's video. So if that's the case and knowing that those leagues are a little bit underwhelming, bar one or two good SBC players in the coming week, maybe if the content's gonna end up turning a little bit lackluster, these team one cards could end up going up a decent amount, but we really need to see team two guys. I really, really need to see the team two leagues because right now like my one thing to invest in the winter wild cards for a potential rise out of packs depends on how insane team two looks. Honestly, that's what it boils down to for me because I wouldn't wanna buy a Tamori if a Varan card is about to drop that looks absolutely mental and maybe better stats than what the Tamori card has or better stats than what the Varan card was that was leaked. You know, I wanna be really careful buying a guy like Usman Dambale if a Karim Benzema is gonna be dropping if it's a striker Benzema card or you know, a guy like Kante, I like the idea of investing in Kante. He is super duper rare. It's a special Kante card, right? Only two pages right now on the market. And you know, we've got Alan St. Maximum, we've got Varan, and we've got a lot of links potentially coming for this Kante player. And it's the only Kante special that we have in the game. Kevin De Bruyne with 99 Physical, that's just flat out cool, right? I mean, there's a lot of, you know, opportunity here it seems to invest in some of these winter wild cards cards, but it really is just gonna come down to what this team looks like and they have to drop today, right? These card prices have jumped up a little bit in price. Now I will say this, today is gonna be a fantastic time to club stock some of these low tier guys. Pato Toljan, Toljan's actually up like 1,000 coins. You want Toljan under 14K if possible, 14K flat and below. Kealini is a club stock. Verde is 1,000% a club stock, maybe even a pretty good investment. This guy was like 30K for most of the week and now he's 21,000 coins, or at least for the weekend. The only problem with Verde is he is minimum at his min listing price. So, you know, he could go under that technically, you have to be very careful with that. So that's one that maybe you just buy one of, although he did hold his price very well on the weekend. But I love Toljan, I love Clivert, Pato, all these guys that are at like the discard value. I even really like Klosterman. I know that compared to Gavardiol, Klosterman's a lot more expensive, but Klosterman is just more of a FIFA card. People recognize his name as being OP and FIFA. And if you actually compare him to Tamori, he's not that far off, like minus one pace, minus one physical, minus one defense. He's got better dribbling, better passing, better shooting, but who cares? And I know he's not English or, you know, he's not Tamori, but like that's a really, really insane card for ADK. So that's a card that I've got my eye on. We just need some more Bundesliga hype to make something like that go up. So there's plenty of cards in this team that I think could potentially rise out of packs, but it just comes down to what the content is today if the price is dropped, because if the card prices don't drop, then I may not be in an investment there. But again, I'm hoping that we see a loading screen today. Like we need something related to team two. We need some sort of news. We need some sort of confirmation of leaks. Like foot sheriff has been very, very quiet. And I mean, maybe that's just because EA have not been posting anything, but I would almost have to imagine that that would change a little bit today. So definitely keep an eye out for a loading screen changing today. Or just remember last week when they dropped a loading screen, we saw KDB and we saw Contain. We were like, those guys were not leaked before. So maybe we'll have a bit of a surprise with those or some other cards on a loading screen today. Just keep an eye out for that. Now, in other words, we do have most likely another swap token coming today via Marquis matchups. Of course, last of call as well, if you're doing the current set of Marquis matchups to make sure to get that first SBC done, this token is gonna be going away in the Sweden versus Switzerland. That's gonna be going away today. So probably a new one dropping in there featuring some club football, right? Because this was World Cup Marquis matchups. This should be going away, I would imagine, and we get legit Marquis matchups. But who knows? I was not expecting to see the World Cup Marquis matchups again last week. But that should be where our token is today. If you missed yesterday's token, it is token number 16. It was in the Silver Stars objective. The Silver Stars Passlack player from Dortmund was the player. It's in objectives actually. Yeah, it's right here. Silver Stars, that's where our token was yesterday. Again, just to check the token tracker, it was Kristoff, was his name. So you've got a week to do that. January 4th is the expiration date for Kristoff there. And I think a couple of tokens are expiring today as well on the 29th. Yeah, you've got the Team The Tournament Challenge too and the Marquis matchups both expiring today on Thursday. So it's gonna be a pretty interesting day on the market. I think the market in general as well, you've seen a lot of high prices this week. If we start to get more news about the promo tomorrow and about stuff that's gonna be dropping this weekend, I do think that some of the high prices that we've seen could maybe drop off a little bit. But again, there's so much gameplay demand for people to qualify for Weekend League and to have those eight teams ready since EA gifted everybody the opportunity to qualify for Weekend League. There's gonna be a lot more people in the Weekend League this weekend, which is gonna be something we'll be talking about here very soon, especially watching on the market Friday with a lot more demand for teams, team building and stuff like that. We've seen it this week. The market's done very, very well. And it could cause a little bit of extra panic heading into tomorrow and Friday, but I think that trend's gonna continue on Friday night. So we will just have to see what EA could spice up for us. Today on a Thursday, who knows, right? EA surprised us like we did yesterday with the Jorzinho. We would love that. So that's the video for me today, guys. If you did enjoy, smash the thumbs up on a comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Putter Counting. I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
