 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We had yesterday, of course, the Foot vs Fire promo team objectives, SBCs, and content are released in the game, but we were missing a lot of things that we also thought that we were going to see as a part of this promo, right? The five star weak foot and five star skill move upgrades, we kind of read that incorrectly, right? EA led us to believe that all of the cards that were going to be released were five star skills or five star weak foot, and that was not exactly the case. So I want to talk about that. And since yesterday didn't actually excite the game like we thought that it was going to, right? The cards are nice. Let's not get it wrong. The cards are very nice. The upgrades are actually huge. And some of these cards might have very interesting fire versus ice items, as the ice cards still come out on Monday. So there's a lot to talk about with that, but the pack weight on these cards is really high. So I'm wondering if this is, again, with icon swaps coming soon, maybe even today, prime icons still have not been released, but they're searchable on the transfer market. When that stuff does come, since these cards have such a high pack weight, just like we saw last year with team of the group stage, is that going to bring the market down? So let's go over all the content from yesterday. Take a look at some of these prices and maybe what even to expect today on Saturday as well. First of all, the big SBC that we were leaked and actually received yesterday, well, two of them, but the first one Christian Pulisic, right? We knew that Pulisic was going to be coming out and that was a leak. He got two different versions, right? The fire and the ice for all the SBCs and objectives that we get throughout this promo. I think we're going to be able to choose from the fire or ice version. Now a lot of people are choosing the fire Pulisic for that five star weak foot and is pretty incredible shooting stats. 94 positioning, 87 finishing and 91 shop power looks pretty good. I kind of like the five star skill Pulisic personally because the passing on the fire version is so bad. And I just want to use a five star skills Pulisic, right? I'm going to end up doing this item. Let me know which one you're going to do in the comments down below, but this SBC is not that expensive and it's got a lot of people doing it, right? It's about 120,000 coins, which, you know, of course, 83, 84 and 85 rated squads is decently craftable. So I think that a lot of people are doing that 79% up boat on foot bin and the cars have a lot of thumbs up on them as well. So that was a decent SBC. A lot of prem left wings dropped and a lot of left wings on the game in general dropped because again, we had the, we already knew this was coming, but the actual release of the SBC happened with the Vinnie Jr. POTM coming in at about 750,000 to 800,000 coins. A lot of people are going to end up doing this as a starter left wing in their team. It's out for 27 days. It's basically out until 2022. People are going to be crafting this over this next month. And, you know, you do see a bit of a bounce back on these informs and on the group stage version of Vinnie Jr. But I think what you're going to see with these cards is a slow drop off, right? Because I still think that most people are going to try to craft the 87 Vinnie Jr. as he is out. Like if people can say, I'm going to do Vinnie Jr. for like 300,000 coins by crafting, you know, this SBC over a month's time, then they're absolutely going to do it. So I would think that especially for a team of the group stage, maybe his informs, those would kind of have like a slow decline over the next month anyway, as people transition and get this SBC done for the highest rated Vinnie that is in the game. So those are kind of my thoughts on that. And we're going to take a look at this fire team, right? These fire cards and what I really want to come back to with this promo team and with these cards on the market is the pack weight on these guys is very, very high. Now, right now, you can actually search for them in the game, which is kind of, it kind of sucks. I don't know why EA didn't add their car design in. But right now, these, these cards started off very cheap in the first hour. They got, they got packed. This Korea went from 330, 350,000 coins all the way up to 520K, as people saw these brand new cards. And I think right away, as well, everyone expected them to have a five storey footer, five store skills, which they of course did not have until Korea went from like 350 to 520. Now he's back down at 340. The thing with these cards is they're fluctuating a lot. The upgrades on them are very, very nice. Like Korea got a massive upgrade. He looks insane. You know, all the cards, Coondae looks really, really good as well. But I just think that when people saw these items say they were just a bit taken back because they expected the five star week foot or the five star skills, or the five star week foot specifically on these fire items. And that is, that is not what we had. Now, I think there were only two cards that were released yesterday that actually had a skill move upgrade. And one of those was Val Verde, right? Val Verde has got a four star, four star card now. And then Gabriel Jesus has the five star skills on his items. So Gabriel Jesus is actually very, very expensive. It's like 1.5 mil, 1.6 mil at the moment. So these cards, you know, they're supplied a lot though, which is why in my opinion, it's going to be very interesting this weekend since there's another card that is going to come out. As we take like if we zoom out here and we look at this little fire and ice screen that they have right here for Gabriel Jesus. This is how this problem is going to work, right? We had an 89 Jesus today with a boosted skill moves to five star. And basically there's going to be another one that's going to have a different dynamic image and slightly different stats as we can see for this other 89 Gabriel Jesus that these are going to come out the ice versions on Monday. He has less pace, but more shooting. And it also makes us wonder, since they upgraded the skill moves on Gabriel Jesus's fire card, are they going to upgrade the weak foot on his ice card? So we're kind of curious to see if that does happen. That would make a Gabriel Jesus as a striker. Very interesting if he had a five star weak foot or a four star weak foot even from his usual three star, a little bit less pace than his fire card, but on the ICS 91 shooting. So that's kind of curious. I'm interested to see how that was, but like as you see with the Everton card, as you see with the Tagliofico that are both in objectives, right? Again, they talk about this versus promo is all about the rivalry, right? Brazil versus Argentina. So one of your Everton has higher shooting, less passing, just like Pulasik. And one of your Taglioficos has more dribbling and less dribbling and more defense or less defense and more dribbling. So I just feel like a lot of people yesterday, without the five star skill moves that we thought we were going to see, some people were just a bit, I guess, underwhelmed. Underwhelmed would probably be the right word for how they feel about this promo, right? Adama Treori right now in this game, 220,000 coins at the moment when I'm looking at this card, he really needed that weak foot upgrade, right? Two star weak foot. So at the moment, this is kind of like, okay, it's still like we got some really nice promo cards, but people are slightly underwhelmed with just the lack of that skill mover weak foot upgrade. So since that was the case, a lot of these cards have been moving on the market, but a lot of out of packs cards moved like crazy on the market as well. I bought three Fodans at 315, 325,000 coins for those three absolutely exploded. A lot of your team in the group stages did really, really well out of packs too. Antony went up like 30k, Kiesa went up like 25,000 coins. So what you saw was basically the opposite of what we expected, right? There was a ton of panic selling heading into the content drop, but people went out after that and ended up buying up cards from other promos, right? A lot of the market rebounded, the out of packs special cards rebounded because these cards that we got with the foot fire, the versus fire cards were just not as exciting. So we continue to have lightning rounds though, and we continue to have a lot of promo cards that are out on this game. And again, the pack weight, as I said, 11% for a foot versus fire player. That is like literally double almost triple, right? If you imagine, if you remember last week, we had the team, the group stage cards were like 4% out of a 125k pack. These are 11% per 125k pack. So a lot of these cards have fluctuated in price. Again, I mentioned they were low first hour. I don't know if I'm going to be trading with these guys tonight. I really don't know if I am, because right now, I mean, Correa was this actually, Adama Triaria was is 212 or 2, what is he right now? Like 220 he actually is. He was down to 208 just a little bit ago. So as these cards get rare, I'm recording this at about, what is this right now? This is about midnight UK, around, around ish midnight UK, maybe a couple hours before that, like it is 515pm Eastern, which I believe is actually only 1015pm UK. My math is terrible 10 or 11pm UK. I'm recording this a bit early. I'm not know if I'm going to trade with these cards into the nighttime, right? One of the only ones that I would look at would be like a Kunde. I would look at a Correa, just your most hyped cards. I think actually Kunde might be slightly rising a little bit because he was just 370 or 365. And I think now he's about 380. So he's rising slightly. But with the supply that we have on these cards, there might be a bit of a push into today on Saturday, you might have a bit of a rise in price. But then after that, I think you might see them drop because we're going to have more lightning rounds. And it all depends on when EA dropped lightning rounds too, right? They've been dropping these random lightning rounds all last week with team of the group stage. So I think the moral of the story is basically all these cards, even though they seem kind of cheap with the high pack supply, I think they are going to go a bit lower. And I think that's going to set the stage for the way this market might end up going to. I know you had a lot of cards rebound like team of the group stages, like we mentioned, like Anthony was 135,000 coins yesterday, right before content. And right now he's right around 160. We might have like we talked about last week, this might be our time where we see that big market drop off in December headed towards what we think might be the normal foot freeze promo next week, right? We have icon swaps that are in the code, right? We took a look at that pack code last night on the video icon swaps did not drop. I mean, icon swaps could drop anytime between this weekend, today on Saturday all the way into next weekend, right? We don't really know when they're going to drop that, but it is in the game and in the code. And again, also we have prime icons, a lot of people were speculating prime icons will be coming out. They didn't. So icons bounced back nice. You know, I bought this Del Pierro even a little bit high, right? I was trying to get this out at 800. He's about 790 right now. I just ended up selling him. I got him at 740, but he was as low as 727,000 coins. So again, right now I think what's very interesting is that this promo was not as hyped as we thought it was going to be. We did get a good SBC. We've got Vinny Jr. Player of the Month and these cards have really high pack supply. So I'm curious to see what happens throughout the rest of this weekend. Now today on Saturday, a couple things to keep an eye out for as well. Some people still think that we're going to be getting a Condogbia or Vasquez showdown. And I mean, if I'm being completely honest, I don't know if this SBC is coming because literally this game would be 24 hours after the SBC. So I don't know if it's going to be a flash SBC for like a showdown between Condogbia and Vasquez, because that was leaked and we talked about it earlier in the week. I don't know if that's going to be coming. We still have the mid Kane and baby Vera SBC rumors that are out there and then a Mertens SBC. I think the highest probability of content today on Saturday would be the Mertens SBC and that would be another player pick item that would be pretty interesting, right? The Serie A does not get a lot of love at the moment in these promo teams. There's only one Serie A card that is in this promo side and that is Pereta, who is the cheapest card as a part of the team. So a Mertens SBC could move a little bit of the market, but again the high pack weight on these cards discourages me a little bit and I think that is going to drop the market off, especially once we get icon swaps and we do get those prime icons on the game as well. But if none of those things are coming this weekend, which we really don't know, I would just kind of be at the ready for that. Then I think it's probably just going to be kind of like last weekend, right? Last weekend was like, okay, we had some good content, you're going to be able to trade with these new cards on fluctuations and on the flips. Actually Mbabu is one. People are going to want to try these cards out because the upgrades are massive. They're very nice special cards. Like Mbabu with a really, really big upgrade. He's 100,000 coins, which seems decently cheap. But again, I think it really comes down to when icon swaps drops and when they put the prime icons into packs as well as to how that's going to actually affect the whole entire market as a whole. It just felt like yesterday that we had a lot of content that was expected and we didn't actually see all of it drop, which was a slight bit unfortunate. Again, I think we just got it wrong. I think we saw EA Sports put out this webpage and the picture of Pulisic where they showed Pulisic head to head, his two faces head to head and we assumed and even put it on their Instagram about the five star skills versus five star weak foot and we assumed that that was the whole premise of the whole promo. But instead, it was basically just for the Pulisic SBC, which that's where the biggest disappointment came in to play yesterday. Again, they're saying that this is the versus fire and ice, which will give a foot versus player two unique permanent upgrades and item designs, which to be completely honest, when we look at a player like this Gabriel Jesus on the foot menus, and we see the upgrades or we look at Tagli Fico or Everton, it really just feels like rule breakers 2.0, right? It feels like we're getting rule breakers cards where okay, one version here, they're going to boost the pace on Gabriel Jesus. Oh, but on this other version, we're going to boost the shooting, right? And maybe they throw on a skill or weak foot upgrade in there on a few of the cards. So I think that's why most people yesterday were just a little bit, man, surprised in a bad way with how the market and how the game played out. Now, again, the cards do look really good. But again, what's going to happen over the weekend, right? Is icon swaps going to be this weekend next weekend? There's a lot of unknowns with that as well. SBC fodder, right? I feel like yesterday, if you weren't really hyped about the new cards, you probably just went out and we're working on the Vinny Jr. player the month, or you did the Pulisic fodder at the moment is really not moved. SBC fodder cards are kind of just chilling. The one thing that this Vinny Jr. player the month, as I think a lot of people are still doing it, one of the things he requires is informs. He requires like five informs, I think, out of the seven squads to complete the SBC. I believe, yeah, it's I think it's five informed, maybe even six informed. It's kind of crazy. So your informs might rise up in price a little bit, but this fodder hasn't moved much. I mean, 86 is where 13 K yesterday, there's still 12 and a half to 13,000 coins. It's going to take more SBCs. If you have SBC fodder that you've invested in, it's going to take more SBCs, an icon upgrade SBC, which to me personally, I think we're due for an icon upgrade because we haven't had one of those in over a week since Black Friday ended with the signature signings promo. I think we're due another one of those, but which SBCs are going to be right? Maybe a base mid base icon player pick. That would be crazy. I don't think they would skip right to a mid icon upgrade pack. So I mean, I think some of that stuff is in the works. And that's why I think that with some of these bounce backs on the market, like Marquinhos being 500,000 coins right now in 498,500 K, that still is going higher at the moment into the nighttime. Some of your signings of bounce back. Benyeter was 850, he's now 936. Llorente is 700 K. He was 570 earlier yesterday. Your numbers up cards. Ter Stegen is back up with the hype of Kunde. Militão is 584 with the Kunde links as well, right? A lot, a lot of hype on that card. Jota is down because of Pulisic. Some of these cards that are up in price again, like I sold Foden's at 370. Kloserman's up a lot because of the very cheap left back in Schultz, right? Which Schultz also destroyed the price of Davies. Davies with 300,000 coins. Now he's 214. So a big drop off for Schultz. Again, in a safe mindset, if you want to take the cash on some of the stuff that went up a lot yesterday, then you can absolutely do that if you want to be safe about it. Again, talking icons as well, a lot of icons are still down because people know that icon swaps is coming. People know that primes are getting released and primes are going to be expensive. So a lot of icons are still down. If you take a look at the index, I mean, we were at 82 points in the mid-week last week and right now we are at 75, which is up from where we were. But icons are still very, very down in price, as most people are expecting the primes and the swaps to be released very, very soon. So I don't mind taking the cash on some of those cards. Absolutely. Just because it seems safe and it seems like since this market is up a little bit that you could do that and you probably would not lose too much. You know, going down, of course, in price a little bit out of this weekend, into this next week, I wonder how the content is going to be. So if they're releasing an SBC for foot versus and they have to release two items, I wonder if the content is going to be really rolling this week and they're going to do a lot of player SBCs. It would seem like it'd be harder for them to do that. But we'll have to see how that rolls out this week. One other thing, trend player of the month, the SBC was not dropped. EA tweeted out that trend one player of the month and they're saying they're delaying his SBC for a week. So they told us what card we're getting, which is the third 89 rated version of trend. You can see the downvotes on this trend card. Nobody likes it, right? It's the third 89 rated version of trend that we've gotten. So nobody's really hyped about it. But that SBC is going to be dropping not this week. It's going to be next Friday. It's going to be next Friday. We're going to get that trend player of the month that probably not too many people will be interested in. So I'm curious about a Merton's card today. I'm curious about icon swaps. I think in my gut, I really feel like the icon swaps and the prime icons might not be until next week. If we're actually getting the real foot freeze promo, like some people are saying, that might be next week. And last year with foot freeze, we had icon swaps and the prime icons both involved. So we might not get that until then. But still there's an outside chance that it could be today. So we're going to keep watching the market on these brand new cards. They're probably going to, you know, there's going to be some fluctuations for flips. But seeing that some of these cards are going up right now as I'm recording this 370 for Korea, like with the supply being as high as it is. And I know that they're probably going to run some late late night landing rounds today on, you know, early Saturday morning or late Friday night, whatever time zone you're in, maybe even on Saturday into the day, like they just run lightning rounds whenever they want to now. So that's one thing that's scaring me a little bit from trading with some of these cards. They've got an 81 to 89 pack out at the moment. And then they've got all these other packs that are here until Saturday. So, you know, I'm going to be very careful trading with these cards, but I will take the opportunity to trade with some of the icons that have bounced back. If you're looking to make some coins anywhere, that could be a place where you do that. And I'm curious to see if there's any panic selling on these cards today before 6pm. That's something that we saw last week with like Ronaldo. If it's just a Merton's SBC today, and there's not a lot of content, and there's a big sell-off heading into the 6pm timeframe today on Saturday, one thing that I would be looking out for would be a bounce back on some of your rare cards that people like to use like a Kunde, this Rashford, of course, I think Rashford is very cheap because I'm sorry, not very cheap. I think Rashford's a little bit more cheap than he would be if Vinny wasn't a thing this year. And if Christian Pulisic was not dropped yesterday, but like, I don't know who's using this Rashford, he got a massive upgrade. And it's just like, okay, Rashford got a nice special card. And it doesn't feel that useful, even though it got a really big upgrade and he has five star skills. It's like, hmm, because you're not really using this card, maybe you try them out. But it doesn't feel like it gets the kids all hyped, right? That's what we usually say. So I'm curious to see how the high pack weight impacts these cards this weekend. But since the pack weight is so high, I think it's going to drop them lower into the week. So just be careful if you're trying any of them. And we will see if we get that swaps or prime icon content this weekend, or if that's going to be kind of pushed off. But I'd be surprised if we had a showdown for a game that is literally tomorrow on Sunday, because I feel like that is too short of a time frame for a big match with Real Madrid and Athletic Madrid, we might not see that SBC today. So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy smashing thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions, and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot account, and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
