 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Now I completely missed it in last night's upload, but there was a Icon Swaps 4 token that was added to the code. And we have to talk about that because Icon Swaps are usually released on Mondays and I think it's gonna be coming out today. I wanna talk about today's content on Monday, kind of a market outlook video kind of built in as well as it is Sunday night into Monday morning. Per usual, we'll do the market outlook for this week. And the last week of batch two of footies. But I really wanna talk about this swap token because again, I thought we were just gonna have three rounds of Icon Swaps, but EA Sports said, hold up, here's a fourth. So I don't exactly know how this is gonna work out today, but it looks like we're gonna get new Icon Swaps, man. In basically the middle of August, we are getting new Icon Swaps. Now the biggest hope with these is that we will have FIFA 22 related rewards as a part of these Icon Swaps. But the only thing that I haven't seen yet and that I'm a bit interested in is if there is gonna be something new related to FIFA 21, we haven't seen any new pack code that has been added, which also makes me kind of interested to see what this Icon Swaps for is really gonna be about. What are they gonna give us in the middle of August with literally three weeks to go, four weeks to go of this game before it's done, that people would actually wanna go out and do Icon Swap objectives for it. So it better be really good rewards or rewards related to FIFA 22 because we are getting into that timeframe where, like last year in the pre-season promo in foot 20, we got rewards from playing foot 20 that transferred over into FIFA 21, like coin boosts, chemistry styles, kits. There's pack objectives that they release later on. So I'm hoping that that is kind of how the foot, and I've seen a lot of people tweeting about this, a lot of people talking about this, really, really hope that this Icon Swaps that is released hopefully today because Mondays are usually Icon Swaps days, I believe the last three times they've done Icon Swaps, it has actually dropped on a Monday. So the objectives today will probably be a place on the content drop that you wanna take a look for. Of course that stuff is not around and not out right now but we'll be taking a look for that really, really soon today on Monday and also under the SBC tab for swaps, there'll be more stuff back in here. So I'm really curious to see what it is that they dropped today. I really hope it's related to FIFA 22 but if it is FIFA 21 content, man, I don't know, like, there better be some big icons that haven't gotten Icon SBCs dropping in this game. And maybe that's what they're gonna do. Maybe they're gonna make Icon Swaps really easy with just a few tokens that are gonna give us some of the icons that we have not actually seen yet in an SBC. R9, Maldini and Vieira were two cards that we thought were gonna come yesterday on Sunday, like, Sunday's content yesterday was, ooh, not so good. So we'll talk about that too but hopefully today's swaps is good. Whatever it is related to FIFA 21 or FIFA 22 and I think, since I've kinda set my mind on some FIFA 22 type content available from the Icon Swaps, I think if it's anything other than that, unless it's an insane, insane set of availability with tokens and stuff and it's like a very easy grind especially for this stage of the game, I think I might be a bit underwhelmed and disappointed but hopefully EA delivers on that today. I just did not think that we were gonna get Icon Swap tokens since it is freaking August in the middle of August. I wasn't expecting to see another round of swaps released. So, that is interesting to me to say the least. We will see what happens today on Monday. Also, Mondays have been player pick league specific days. The Bundesliga player pick, of course, kinda set the tone for all of last week for the Footies Bundesliga player pick with the Bundesliga Weekend League requirements and then a ton of objectives in SBCs based around the Bundesliga last week. I'm really curious to see who they drop today because this will be the fourth week in a row. Serie A or League One is supposedly, who you would think, to be the next league to pop in. So, of course, what we talked about in last night's video was just keep an eye on some of these League One cards that are specials out of packs and some of the Serie A cards. I think really people are focusing on Serie A because you're seeing Chiesa is up, Chiellini is up. Some of these Serie A items that are out of packs are up. Wow, that Neymar is low at 3.49. That's pretty low. But as I look across the rest of the market, Locatelli, 130K, it's still kind of higher, right? Spinanzola, 100,000 coins. But some of the other Serie A cards are up in price. I think it's because people are expecting to see Serie A as the league that this week will bring for kind of like the focus, right? Now, whatever player pick we get today, if it is a league specific player pick, if we get one, which we have the past three Mondays, so of course we're expecting it on the fourth, that is probably gonna be the league that would be a week and league plus requirement if they're gonna continue that schedule. So of course what you're gonna see is if it is a Serie A or a League One player pick today, you're gonna see some of those special cards go up further on the market. I think you're gonna start to see that even this morning as you head into Monday, I think people are actually gonna be going out and buying up some of those cards because they wanna get ahead of the game and they think it's gonna be one of those two leagues next. So just kind of keep an eye on that, but definitely a surge if you see a Serie A footies player pick today, that'll be a definite surge for those special cards because that will make people think that will be the next week and the requirements. Of course we won't find out until tomorrow and Tuesday, but that is one thing on Mondays that we have seen almost exclusively. Now also usually we see player SBCs on Mondays, but we had a hidden gem SBC for George. I don't even know, I've never even heard this guy's name before if I'm being 100% honest. Just like a lot of you guys that saw this card released yesterday on Sunday, it's a decent looking card. He got a huge boost from a 63 rated with 30 pace, 33 dribbling, 33 passing. I mean, absolute crazy boost on this card. But again, a lot of people don't like it, I think because A, they don't know who the guy is, and Bundesliga, of course, with the weak and weak being over, unless you have a special affinity for this card, it doesn't look that super duper meta with medium, medium work rates and absolutely no traits. So evidently adding traits to players is not a thing they can easily do as we found out with Holland or Vardy not getting that SBC, but this is a cool card. Gigi's the EA, it's fun content, hidden gem. I didn't know this guy was a hidden gem. Maybe I missed the boat on this one, but usually we get that SBC either a hidden gem or a transfer SBC player on Monday. So I'm wondering with icon swaps today, is that why they didn't release an icon player SBC? Cause today's content's gonna be more icon related. And is that why they moved a hidden gem SBC from potentially Monday today back one day and they did it yesterday? So that's just kind of my thinking along those lines. We will see what drops. It could be a decent day of content today on Monday. People love icon swaps just for the grind ability. So as long as that what is dropping today and EA isn't just trolling us by adding that card design in the code. Today on Monday might be an absolute pretty decent day of content with a Puddy's player pick being out, maybe a player SBC and icon swap. So actually low key kind of excited for that. We will see what happens today in that realm of the market. Now speaking of the market, a lot of stuff again is down, right? We talked about a lot of these Bundesliga cards getting really low. And as you take a look at the sell off, that is exactly what is happening. Gretzka 270,000 coins, Davies 87K, Sancho 283. They are lower than what they were last week on Sunday night into Monday when everybody was selling off. And again, that's always what happens. Neuer 39,000 coins, Lewandowski is 132K. He was 200,000 coins at one point. So huge drop offs as expected on a lot of these cards. Some of them will bounce back like Gretzka and Sancho would be the top two guys. I would be keeping my eyes on maybe even Davies as well. We saw this happen last week with some of the Prem cards and we saw it happen two weeks ago with some of the LaLiga ones. You know, Gretzka and Sancho are hyped enough and it looks like these menus are still having glitch issues at the moment where it's showing you like all the different card types on the game. And it's not just showing you like the actual ones that are available on the market. Because as you can see here, when I clicked you can see there are pro player cards in here. There's Player of the Months, which are obviously not on the market. Icon swapped, locked items. I'm guessing this locked item right here would be the Icon Swap 4 card type. Player Rarity 29, what the heck is that? No idea what that is. So yeah, I don't know what's going on with that market or that part of the market right now, but watch your buttons to get cards because there's definitely a lot of sell-off happening right now and some of the rare ones could definitely bounce back up after that panic ends. So 279 Versace, oof. That's getting cheap, man. That is getting very, very cheap as there's how many pages of 300K? One, two, all right, there's a couple pages. So maybe you check or get a cheeky bid on one of those cards tonight. That's one area of the market I'd be looking out for. Also, since the upgrade packs yesterday were bad, man. And that's the thing, we called this last night too. We said the second week of the batch is always the bad week in terms of upgrade packs and grindable content. At least we still have the 85 times 10 holding on for a couple more days. This is gonna be an SBC a lot of people do in the next two days to try to craft and get them saved up for batch three, which is coming on Friday. So of course, watch out for your rear gold. It's still staying a bit higher this week as we have demand for that SBC, but an 83 to 89 player pick and the 82 plus player pick, again, requiring 81 rated squads. That's just the biggest L. That is literally, or sorry, the 82 plus player pick. Yo, I did not look at that one. The 82 plus player pick, that ain't that bad. 82 plus player pick for gold, for rare players, 60 chemistry. All right, I digress. I literally looked at the content for two seconds today before deciding my opinions. And man, this is the one that I saw, the 83 to 89. That is not a good SBC, but the 82 plus player picks not bad and it is repeatable. So that's nice at least. It's not too bad, right? It is some sort of grindable. We'll see how good they are. We'll try a few on stream, but again, we always know that the second week is just not as good. These usually don't pay out that well. So that's why I'm not that excited about them still, but we'll see how they are. But the second week for the upgrade packs is usually not as good as the first week and that kind of rains true again here unless these 82 plus player picks are actually decent. So I might give a few of those a shot, but the 85 times 10 are still gonna be the way to go in my opinion. So also later on this week, and I know we do a little bit of a market outlook aspect to this with that 85 times 10 going away, hopefully some of your rare golds back down and EA sports again, drop that draft token milestone or that draft token SBC since we saw the draft days milestone re-release that token for foot draft. We really need that because right now it is not very fun to do draft without having tokens. I'm probably not gonna play any more draft games, man. And I would like to get this Rooney. That'd be a bit of a grind still, but I'm not gonna play any draft if I don't have any tokens. So just drop the tokens, right? There's no way people finished all of these games. You're not giving the casual community enough time to win 48 foot draft games if they really wanted to grind after this and get some of these cards. Definitely not like, what was it? Like a week and a half? Definitely not enough time for most people with that draft token objective. Now of course you could say, oh, you should have stacked them, which yeah, I should have stacked a few of them, but hey, here we are. I think esports should just re-release that SBC anyway. So that is my opinion on that. Also, man, I cannot talk about a video today without mentioning the Messi press conference. I'd watch snippets of it. I mean, it was crazy, man. I was even brought to tears slightly because this man, you can tell, just absolutely loves his club. He loves his club and he doesn't wanna leave but it's just a situation that it is, man. And that is football to business side of things a little bit and some of the rules that are in play, which definitely sucks a little bit, right? Because you can see that Messi does not wanna go, but it does seem that Messi is going to PSG, which will be very interesting in its own right. But I mean, man, what an absolute player and just kind of, yesterday was a monumental day. I mean, what we are witnessing right now with Messi transferring clubs is monumental because this is literally a goat, one of the goats regardless of who your favorite is, Ronaldo, Messi, R9, Pele, whatever. This is a goat, right? In the scheme of history of football and a transfer going on where he doesn't wanna move and a club that he's been at for however many years was like 16 plus or something like that, unbelievable, man. So that was kind of just crazy. We all witnessed history yesterday. If you think of it that way with that press conference, that was pretty nuts. So I couldn't go without saying something about Messi in today's video. I definitely hope that I can get my hands on his 99 rated summer stars item at some point. I really wanna pack that card next week because I would absolutely love that to use the highest level of Messi in this game as kind of a tribute and enjoy him with my links to Dabala to the Gomez card that I have. I have the bronze squad active right now, but I have a couple of nice Argentinian links that would be great to link up that Messi card with. So also FIFA 22 related content as we talked about maybe for icon swaps or whatever. Man, oh man, how sick would it be for a once to watch Messi and FIFA 22? I don't think EA sports can pass up that opportunity. Chelsea with Lukaku. I mean, once to watch is looking really, really spicy again. As it usually does when we get towards the end of the transfer window, but especially this year with Messi being thrown in there it's gonna be nuts. So that's kind of the video for today boys. Again, today's actually a pretty big day. If they were actually getting icon swaps, we really gonna be curious about that because whether it's icon related content or FIFA 22 related content or a mixture of both, hopefully EA keeps us engaged in that terms. And hopefully it's not just some icon swaps this year I've been honestly, except for the swaps three have been a big L. So hopefully that changes today but we will see you at the content drop. If you wanna join us, Twitch link is down below, we'll be live streaming there at the content drop today on Monday. But if you enjoyed this video boys, leave a thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Fortacowden. I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
