 Hey guys, it's Nate aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We at the moment on FIFA 23 don't have an icon pack or an upgrade pack. And today is a Monday where we in the past have seen those types of SBCs dropped. And it's a little uncharacteristic of EA to not have an SBC like that available in game. Is that going to be part of the content today? That's what we're going to talk about in today's video. Can we invest for that? And we have to talk a lot about the market because road to the final prices are rising. I've invested in some and I think a lot of people around this game are investing in these live cards because the content's been a bit slow the past couple of days over this weekend. Not a ton has been happening, but we are getting closer and closer to these games that will impact some of these cards, potential upgrades here. Even at the end of this week, the first road to the final upgrades will be happening. So there's a lot to talk about today and some last minute reminders about Future Stars swaps. So a lot going on. If you're excited for the video today, hit the thumbs up. And if you're new around here, subscribe if you are new. Let's talk about the SBC that I think is actually really high chance of dropping today in the game. High probability of this icon pack. And you know what one we might get is the 89 plus that was just removed from the game over the weekend, right? Sundays recently have been the days where we've gotten icon packs or hero player picks. But yesterday, we didn't have one, right? We have the Spinazzola SBC that was dropped. And of course, we have the icon player SBC that was dropped on Saturday for Fernando Torres. We'll talk about those in a little bit, but we don't have an icon upgrade or a hero player pick pack. And before we get on this streak of about a month and a half of those types of SBCs dropping on Sundays, they were dropping on Mondays, which is why I believe this SBC could be coming back today or some other form of an icon pack or a hero player pick or a hero pack, right? Now, the reason why I think it might just be this 89 plus once again is because EA oftentimes like to release an SBC and then release it again, right? We saw the 88 plus icon pack two different times, right? We see a lot of things repeat in this game. So watch out for this. Maybe that 87 plus hero World Cup or regular player pick comes back again. I think that would be a little bit less hype than the icon, at least this icon since it gave out primes and World Cups only, but some sort of that type of pack today I do believe will be dropped in the game. Now with the icon pack expiring and really not a ton of SBC demand besides player SBCs at the moment, fodder is down. 84 is 4,000 coins, 85 is about 11 and a half K, 86 is about 15 to 16 K. I mean, look at 88, they're at 27,000 coins at the moment. These guys are low, right? These guys were well over 30,000 coins during the weekend, during the last couple of days where that icon pack was still out, right? 32 K. Even if you look into early last week, these have like 34,000 coins after the weekend when the SBC was kind of fresh and still new to the game. Is there an investment opportunity here? Absolutely there is, right? Mondays we usually see the market rise. I think that's going to happen today. People get their rewards. They go out, buy some cards. I think people are expecting an icon pack today. I think you will see fodder cards rising into the content drop today. But if you don't want to try to invest beforehand, if you don't want to kind of, you know, have that risk of, well, could EA not drop an SBC today? Absolutely. They could not put out an icon pack or a hero pack and it would kind of fit how the content's been going on this game right now. It's been a little bit slow, right? So that is absolutely a possibility. Of course, with EA, things are really random, pretty much most of the time, but they're also, you know, we can predict them sometimes too. So I'm predicting that we get an icon pack today. And if you want to invest in some fodder, if they're going to drop this SBC once again, I would say the 91s would be the place to go because all of these guys were 69 to 70,000 coins earlier in the last two weeks. You can see 69,000 coins on Saturday for Levandosky. And of course, earlier last week, one other big time SBCs were dropped 68, 69K after that icon SBC dropped on the game last Sunday. So I like the 90s and 91s just because if the SBC comes with the same requirements, it's got that 88 rated squad in there. And I feel like the 91s did the best. 88s did really good, 89s did really good. So that hides your fodder for the highest rated squad in that SBC. If it's a simple refresh, it would probably go up the most. Now, if we get like a hero player pick today, then it's going to be a bit cheaper, right? And again, just to preface this, the 89 plus that we had was the most expensive icon SBC we have had this year. All other ones have been under 300K and EA hit us with a 500,000 coin icon pack. That is something that we hadn't seen much of. A lot of them have been around the 200K mark. If we get a hero player pick today or a somewhat cheaper icon SBC, I would expect to see the lower tier part of the market rise. Maybe your 85s, which at 11K are really tempting, right? Because these guys have been pretty consistently been around like what? I mean, these are 16K like a couple of weeks ago, but you know, 13 to 14,000 coins, 11K to 14K, that's a pretty solid fodder flip in like a two day hold. So, you know, 84s, 85s, 86s could be an investment as well. The best thing that I would say to do is maybe do a little bit of a club stock. I don't know if it's like an all in type of week, because again, with the content, the way that it's been rolling, yes, there are SBCs on this game, but the content hasn't been that insane, right? Spina Zola. Again, we want to talk about this a little bit. It is a nice card and it is, I don't know, it's kind of like a lot of people here are voicing their opinions either for or against Spina Zola. There's like no middle ground, which it is a nice looking card. You can compare it to Theo Hernandez and say he's got a better skill move, rating got a better weak foot, doesn't have as good of stats like the informed Theo Hernandez is down a ton because of this, but I think that informed Theo Hernandez is a little bit better with a little bit better links, but the Spina Zola is a cool card. He's always FIFA meta and I understand why people want to do this as well. So, I don't hate this SBC. I guess I'm kind of in the middle of it a little bit. It's not amazing value, but it also is not like a terrible value at the same time, only 190K, very easy to craft, but that's kind of the SBC that's pulling the fodder demand right now and all the other outstanding SBCs that we have, a lot of still like Player of the Month and Boppe people out there that might be completing this SBC. We're going to have another Player of the Month for Ben Yetter coming tomorrow. We still have Rashford, we have Osemin, we still have some other Player of the SBCs that are still live. That's where kind of the demand is, but that's going to start like these guys are going away. Ramos goes away today. Bale goes away. Pogba four days from now. And with a lot of these SBCs expiring in the next week, Player of the Month and Boppe going away. I know you do have a Ben Yetter like we mentioned and maybe an icon pack. So I think this week could still be pretty good for fodder, but I wouldn't say that like fodder at this point since it's been so high in the grand scheme of things will be a really good long-term hold on most of them. I think it would be more like a short-term going to quick flip the cards this week, trade with fodder on the weekly like we normally do, that sort of thing. So just kind of put that out there with fodder. That's where I feel like right at the moment. So invest with where you think the content might be today. Or always this is an absolutely an option you can do too. You can wait for content to drop today. And let's say like Benzema right now is what 60,000 coins, maybe like 61k. Let's say content drop comes down to today and he's like 62k, but they drop the same icon pack. You can go and this is an absolutely very common investing method. When content drops every single day, people see what SBCs are needed. They go out onto the market. They buy those requirements, especially if it's an SBC that's going to be really hyped. They see the market go up and they sell in that hype buying the card like spam buying, right? Buying a bunch of Benzema is right when the SBC would drop. As people go out to do the SBC, the demand pushes this card up and you make profits that way. That's a really quick flip, right? Just kind of spam buying is I kind of call it. So that's obviously an option you could do today too. Wait for the SBC to come out, then go out and buy those cards. And we'll be watching that all live on stream linked down below in the description as well when the content drops today. So that's kind of my thoughts on the icon pack. If we do get an icon pack today, would that impact the market? Well, obviously it would make fodder go up a little bit. Now it just depends on how hyped that SBC is as to whether it would make any of these like road to the final cards drop that much, which again, these are live cards and I really believe that their prices are going to stay pretty steady because they're not that easy to pack. They're not like terribly hard to pack, but also they're live, right? And we've seen live cards this year on this game do absolutely crazy things and it rise crazy amounts, especially when the content's not that good. This is the example I keep remembering. During the second week of Path to Glory earlier on this year, this Christian Romero card before Argentina, of course, had, you know, progressed in the tournament. Path to Glory started early on in the World Cup cycle. This guy was 140,000 coins on the Saturday and the Sunday and then he exploded 230K by Tuesday. Literally in a three-day span, he went from 140 to 160 all the way up to like 240. It was crazy with these cards, how much they exploded, because again, the games were upcoming and people wanted the opportunity to invest for the potential upgrades and I'm feeling that same thing with these cards and also just look at some of the prices on these cards too. I can't believe that Martial, Martinelli and Chiesa, specifically those three. I feel like are just very, very overpriced. I feel like the upgrade people are just imagining is already baked into the card. I understand that Martial looks really good, Martinelli and Chiesa. They all look really good, but I think they are definitely overpriced at the moment based on people hoping that their cards are going to upgrade and that they're going to have higher ratings. Now, I think other cards that have really good potential to upgrade as well are a little bit undervalued or valued like very fairly. I feel like Atal is valued very fairly. He's guaranteed an upgrade, but I think it's a fair value. Alaba I think is valued very fairly as well with the potential of upgrades there. I think Farin Torres is a bit cheap. I think that Nuno Mendes is a bit overpriced, right? 460k PSG down, but not out, but still down. Lucas Mora, 195,000 coins. It's all with these road to the final cards. In terms of their price and in terms of investing, you just have to take into account so many different factors with these. But in the grand scheme of things today, I do believe a lot of these guys will slowly go up in price. If we do get an icon pack or if we do get good content today, they could take a small hit. That might just be a great opportunity. If there's some dips and prices today and they're not up too much from where they were over the weekend, maybe you have an opportunity to buy if you have not yet. But if a lot of you guys have bought or if you're still thinking when to buy it, the lowest point was honestly early Saturday or late Friday. That was 100% the lowest point. Barelo was 300,000 coins and he's obviously spiked up big time as a lot of people are looking forward to the match up this weekend. I think they're playing Porto and it's like, okay, that's an easy or a favorable matchup. They should be able to win. So they're hoping that his upgrade will happen by the end of the week and he'll go to a 90 rated. Those are the cards that you want to look at. We talked about that in the investing video. If you want to go check that out, taking a look at which of these cards to invest in because of like why. And that's how I'm investing, right? I've got a couple cards that I think have potential to get upgrades this week, but then I've got a couple other ones that of course I'm holding on to for maybe like a couple weeks down the line. I picked up a couple Lucas Morris at 190K right around there because I feel like yes, they're losing right now an aggregate, but there's still potential for comeback. One of the fastest right wings in the Premier League on the market, not an SBC. And it's only 190K. I don't think that's too bad. Farron Torres, right? Big game on Thursday with United. I think he is a lot more investable than Marshal because he's 190K versus 800,000 coins. And then a tall is just a tall. And I picked up a couple fleet of Anderson's as well because many of these cards are always rare. So that's just to talk about the road to the finals. I do believe their prices from here on out throughout this week will stay pretty stagnant or probably just go up honestly because at the moment content's not that insane. And with live cards, guys, live cards just defy the odds, right? You think that nominate these guys have to drop a little bit, right? Well, unless EA do something really surprising today and drop like an absolutely mental icon pack or something like out of this world good, I really don't think these guys are going to drop that much, right? Because they're alive and people people with live cards, they just buy them and they sit on them, right? It's not like they're buying and they're trying it out, they're buying and they're sitting on the card and waiting for those potential upgrades. And that's why we see the insane drop offs later on when teams end up losing. But that's also why you see the insane rises when teams keep winning, right? Because people are holding on to those cards, not listening them up to try and to go get a new car. They're waiting for those upgrades to happen. So road to the finals are still some of the best cards in the game. I do think their price is going to rise today. They are kind of what is like the central focus of this market right now. The gamble aspect is not just on SBC's and packs. It's also on the cards on the market. So, you know, just to speak about the market a little bit more right quick, if you're like, Nate, what's going on with future stars cards? I was just clicking around here a little bit. I think that the road to the finals being just the live cards have pulled some prices down a little bit. Now, Muge Drake, he might be affected by Martinelli, of course, a couple good left wings in this promo team, right? Keyesa, you've got the Martinelli, but you know, a million coins is down like a hundred thousand coins. Alvarez was down a little bit, taking a look at some other future stars I see. And Kethia is up, right? He's up a good amount. Timber is down a little bit. Mousiala is up a little bit. So it's not like we've had crazy fluctuations with these cards. The market's still just pretty average, right? A couple cards down here or there, a couple cards up here or there kind of matches how the content's been recently too. Again, like we've said, just kind of average. So I don't really have any worries about a market crash or anything along those lines, of course, because right now the content just seems to be pretty mid on this game. Now, speaking of content, just a little bit more, let's talk about what else we could expect today. Monday's our upgrade pack days, right? Absolutely they are. We had that 81 times three added to the code, and I still believe we're going to get that as an upgrade pack. I hope. I don't know if it's dropped anywhere else in the game, but that 81 times three would be so perfect for future stars Academy upgrades. And I would love to craft some of these or 81 times three this week, have a really, really good upgrade pack this week with the road to the finals that are out. I mean, imagine packing a live card. It's especially if it's not like a rival club, you can kind of just like jump on on board, right? And say, all right, I'm going to kind of root for this team just for the FIFA measures that I have this card as a road to the final live item that I would love to see get upgraded. So with that being said, always on Monday's, give yourself a nice little club stock of gold commons, gold rares, I think gold commons are still you have 450 coins, gold rares are probably still about this guard at 650 700. I'd imagine. Yeah, so get on some bids, get on some snipes, stock the club up if you have an interest in doing upgrade packs today. It was nice to have the player picks last week, but the 81 times three would just give you three cards instead of one out of a player pick, probably be a bit more expensive. And they could just drop the 80 plus player pick again, who knows, but some sort of upgrade pack is going to be headed our way. Or today also the daily SBC packs, right? That tied to the objective. Yesterday we had the Benza goal or something like that. Yeah, it was a three primarily players pack. So I don't know. I guess that was because that was the Real Madrid game against Chelsea in the quarterfinals. So we're probably going to get another one of these today. Again, watch out for some tradable supply that could impact the market just a little bit. But watch out for one of those today. And then we don't have any other leaks at this moment for player SBCs. But I'm really looking out for an AC Milan player SBC because there has to be a Milan player that is represented by a live road to the final. There has to be. I know we just had the Catalera SBC and stuff like that, but there's got to be a live Milan player that gets an SBC or an objective card this week with road to the final because they're one of the clubs that is not yet represented by a live card. And I feel like they have to be, especially since they're like winning right now against my spurs in their first round of 16 matchups. So watch out for those leaks. Maybe a player SBC today if we get a late leak. And the last thing I want to give you guys some notice on is if you have not finished it yet, do not forget to turn in and to finish and wrap up your swaps for future stars because these go away today. And I really am looking to myself here saying this because I need to get two more tokens to complete the swaps 84 times 20. I've got to go do some Silver Stars games and get that done before content today so that I can have this 84 20 pack and then maybe be crafting some SBCs. We'll see when I'll end up over that probably, you know, I'm probably open that today on stream, but you know, that's just kind of a warning and a shout there that if you have not turned those in, make sure you go and do that. Or if you're grinding some last minute objectives or SBCs to get it done, make sure you go ahead and do that as well. The other thing is we haven't had that provisions pack. There was a pack code, the provisions pack. It has not been dropped into this game yet. We've had the other store packs, the foundations and the pivot pack, but no provisions pack, which could be very interesting because that was the one if you remember the pack code guys, this was the one that said contain it's like remember the 100 players non rares pack. This one gives you 50 gold rares all between 75 and 81, which would be perfect at EA. We're going to release that 81 times three and require 11 rare golds. We talked about this a little bit in the stream. This would be a perfect pack that people would want to buy to open up an upgrade pack that would require rare gold. So I see a rare gold requirement, somewhere very soon in our future of upgrade SBCs on this game. Now a couple of other things left to go over really quickly. I do want to talk about the Fernando Torres because I mean guys this actually isn't that bad of an icon SBC. It's Fernando Torres Spanish links. I know icons are not the best with links this year. It's pretty craftable though 84 87 and 88 only three squads to get done. Of course the bronze and silver squads that are there. It's coming at 480,000 coins according to foot bin right now. And I think part of that is because fodder is dropping and is a little bit lower that this looks better now than it did in value, but 480 K, you know, it's not the most meta card. But if you're a fan of Fernando Torres or if you just need something to craft, right? I know a lot of people right now are doing the league SBC grind and it's actually paying out really, really well. If you want tradable and untradable packs and you want to learn a menu grind, do the league SBCs because it is a really, really good ground in this game. I keep seeing people tweeting me stuff, the pack pulls that they get. So that to me is not terrible value, especially when the card is more than that on the market. 520, 530 K after that undercut right there. So GGS EA honestly on an SBC that goes overlooked because it's not super hype, right? And then again, the spin as Zola, you can see 53% out vote, 47% down vote. People are really undecided on this one. And it's just kind of between, do you need this type of links in your team? Like of course, the Chris Smalling was out and this linked perfectly or links perfectly with that. But of course, if you didn't do Smalling like myself, I've got a red untradable 86 tail Hernandez, which I'm just going to keep that in my squad. Why go spend 175 K on this when I already had that card and it works better for my links and my team. That's my mindset. But I really wish they would have given spin on like the five star weak foot or the skills to make that SBC just a little bit better or make it cheaper at the current price point. Of course, because this is a direct, this card's taken a direct hit because of that SBC from 220 K all the way down to 160, where he is now, this might rebound back up just a bit. But you know, it's taken a direct hit because of the spin as Zola substitute right substitute item on the game. We see this all the time. New player comes out via SBC. That's about the same people go and do that. He can play left mid as well, which is different from spin as all I get that but he's right footed on the left four star weak foot. We, that's why I also wanted the five week for that would have been nice. Playing a right sided player at left back just doesn't always work the best. But if you have five star weak footed work better. So other quick things to mention, Calvin Phillips is extinct 650,000 coins. Many of these cards are always rare. It's quite an interesting upgrade from his rule breakers. He got plus nine physical and plus six pace, which makes the card a lot more usable. But I think EA didn't upgrade him to like any more than they did. Because obviously they think city has potential to go pretty far in this tournament. So he's extinct at 650. As always, Sunday cards are rare and going to have less supply, which is something to keep in mind. Whenever they update his price range and whatever he is on the market and however city go, how far, however far city go in this competition, that's something to keep in mind. We had the Felipe Anderson dropped yesterday, a nice kind of cheap card. They are actually, I believe they either 1-1-0. Yeah, I think they 1-1-0 in their first matchup, but they got a red card. So I don't know how that's going to affect their team in the second leg, but this is like kind of one of those that you would expect to get an upgrade like for sure. And it's not a bad card by any means. So watch out for Felipe Anderson's price, he'll be moving a good amount. And then we also had two more in the menu. We had Forsberg and I forget the last one, but Forsberg, I think this is a little bit of, I know it's, they're playing city and it's like, God, this is not going to get upgraded, right? But that's not a terrible card. Four star, four star for a cheap Bundesliga with some Leipzig links. That's a decent card right there. I don't know. I like Forsberg cards because I just dream of getting the Swedish links with Zlatan in there too. So those were cards that were in a mini release. And I think there was one more that I'm completely spacing on at the moment, but who was it? Oh yeah, Tuta, right? They're playing against Napoli, so not a really good chance for them to win on paper. But I mean, give this guy an informed upgrade and he's looking really saucy, especially, you give him two upgrades. This card could be absolutely insane. So I hope, I mean, started by Napoli fans out there. But if there's an upset on the table here, I would love to see Frankfurt be Napoli because this card for FIFA purposes only would be pretty cracked, I think. So that's kind of a roundup of what's going on in this game. I am going to be chasing after the road to the final objectives this week in the cup. Last 16, getting my A4 times 20 today, ripping through some upgrade packs and seeing what surprises EA Sports maybe have for us on this game this week. Because I know a lot of you guys have been saying, I've been reading the comments and listening to you guys. I know it's not the most hype at the moment right now, but hopefully EA can change that up just a little bit. And maybe we get some more rewind players as well. We would love that. Come on, EA Sports. Road to the final rewind players. All we have right now is spin a Zola. Give us some more, all right. Well, thank you guys for watching the video today. If you did enjoy, smash them up on a comment below if you have any questions and subscribe for new. Have a great start to your week. And I will catch you in the stream today. It's been Nathan Bohn account and catch you guys there. Peace out.
