 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It's Monday, market outlook time. Let's take a look at the second week of Future Stars, talk about the market, what is going on right now, how we can make some coins, and just content and market movements to watch out for, because honestly, the stuff that we're looking at this week in FIFA, yes, Future Stars is going on, but honestly, I'm kind of shifting my mind away from the actual Future Stars promo, except for some of the content that might come out, because we have big time stuff that could be coming this week with icon swaps, winter upgrades, icon moments cards being in packs, road to the finals, market movements, all of that kind of happening either during the week or at the end of the week. There's a lot going on this week, man. So we want to talk about it all today, kind of take a high level approach and cover all those items in a sense on the market outlook and where I think you can expect to see the market heading this week. First of all, let's talk about the content that we had yesterday on Sunday. Pretty quiet day, right? Pretty quiet day on Sunday with this Kukarela Future Stars Academy Player card. Now EA is playing right into the current meta inside of FIFA with that 532 or the 352. A lot of people using wing backs and like left and right mids that have, you know, very balanced and well-rounded cards that can get forward and come back on the fence and this guy fits into that meta perfectly. Not the best card ever, but definitely something. Some people will grind, right? I think people would rather do Renier first because this Striker card looks really good but also people might grind this Kukarela this week. So that was also content that we had. I expect one or two more, honestly. Maybe just one more of those Future Star Academy Players this week with the Foot Future Stars being in packs for the rest of this entire week. And I think that's where we start the week. I think today on Monday, since we had that yesterday on Sunday, probably not an objective player, but honestly, the most interesting thing today is that the SBC player picks are expiring. The player picks, the 81 pluses and the 82 to 88 upgrades to your last opportunity to get in on some of those. And this is gonna be probably like the end for some of these upgrade packs and the amount of coins that they'll be taking off the market. Now I do think EA could put out different upgrade packs if they really wanted to until Friday. Like if they wanted to do like an 80 plus player pick or the 81 plus double upgrade pack. I think there was a possibility that they would put out more upgrade packs to kind of keep us, I guess, involved until Friday. But also, EA might look at it and say, hey, we just dropped two Future Star Academy Players and objectives so we're not gonna release any upgrade SBCs because people are gonna be busy doing that. Well, that could be possible as well. We also could see another player SBC today with Curtis Jones, Torebo, Musa Dambili out, of course. They've been doing a lot of player SBCers doing this promo. I don't know if it will come today, but they've been kind of doing like a couple days on and they take a day off. Then they come right back with another SBC. I forget what SBC we got last week on Monday. But I do believe that we got one. I just don't remember who it was. It might have been Goncalves. I think we got Goncalves last Monday for the Future Stars player pick. Now again, we have a lot of SBCs out right now for players. I don't know if they would do another one. One thing we maybe could see today would be like that double 85 plus pack or like an 84 plus player pick. That might be some sort of upgrade SBC. You could put out today like a non-repeatable one time pack SBC that would again drain some more coins off of this market. I do think that we're expecting though another big time flashback SBC player at some point this week. Now, Ferland Mendy has obviously been in conversation. Could he get a flashback card? There's a lot of Future Stars that EA could pick and say, hey, we're gonna use a flashback of this card back to FIFA 19 or FIFA 20 Future Stars and put them out. So that is, we haven't had a flashback, legit flashback SBC. The player moments done barely was kind of like a flashback but we haven't had a legit flashback to a Future Star. I don't think, unless I'm thinking incorrectly. But I would suspect that one more big player SBC comes in this next week as we head out of Future Stars. Now, SBC fodder right now is dropping a little bit, right? I think it's just because the lack of new SBCs that are out, a lack of people wanting to grind like the icon pack or whatever. Some of this stuff has dropped off, right? And you can see this by looking at the price of Curtis Jones, 394,000 coins. This card is literally 35,000 coins cheaper right now to do as an SBC from scratch than he was when he first came out. So fodder's dropping a little bit. And I think that's just because, you know, we just had squad battle rewards that's supplying the market a little bit. And you're seeing some of this stuff drop as well as the demand for actual SBCs is diminishing as well since we didn't have any new ones yesterday. That supply is just kind of making that part of the market drop down a little bit. So that's kind of how I feel about the SBC fodder market. It's probably gonna continue to fluctuate this week if you're really good with fluctuation trading a fodder when an SBC comes out like panic or mass buying right away. That stuff's probably gonna be pretty profitable this week. Now, of course, a lot of people are gonna be asking, player of the month, Neymar, that is like a big SBC that is on our horizon. I feel like there would be a bigger SBC. I feel like there's still another like either Future Stars flashback or a Future Stars player SBC that would come out before a Neymar would which could still move fodder around on the market a bit. I have a feeling that the league one player of the month vote always goes for so long. And right now we just checked just a little bit ago and it is still live. The vote is still live for league one player of the month. The Yazeki SBC I think expires in a few days still. So I'm honestly not expecting player of the month Neymar. If it's this week, it could be at the end of this week but it also could be next week. It all kind of depends on when the league one voting stops on the player of the month website for EA. So we'll keep an eye on that. But of course, it's not even guaranteed to be Neymar. So I think could be Kevin Volland. I think he's gonna win just not necessarily the popular fan votes, but he had an insane month and Neymar is now injured. So an EA doesn't have full control over player of the month. That's more up to the leagues and the voting. So I think it might actually be Kevin Volland winning that player of the month. We'll talk about that more later this week as it doesn't get closer but I could see that coming later in the week this week. Now we mentioned SBCs, we mentioned objectives. Let's talk about the market, right? Tuesday, right? Tomorrow, Champions League is back baby. We have Champions League games that are back and road to the final cards are the next thing and I wanna talk about because some of these cards have still maintained at very high prices and have even gone higher than they were before in price. Now, number one thing about this that worries me Cancelo road to the final is 400,000 coins. Crazy, right? Now, yes, these cards are very rare. The upgrade potential is huge but since the market has continued to drop off out of this weekend league, these guys have not really dropped with it and that to me says people are still investing in these cards and they're holding on to them and that is a sign that you probably wanna sell and take the cash sooner rather than later on a lot of these cards. Honestly, that's how I feel on some of them is you wanna take the cash sooner rather than later. Right now I'm looking at this Cancelo, the 86 rated in form because this is literally 200K cheaper than his road to the final card and the stats are almost the exact same. So I think that this card, of course, it links to the brand new Ruben Diaz. I'm gonna be watching this card because I think he will rise a little bit out of this weekend purely also because Cancelo is 400K. This card's almost the exact same and it's 200K cheaper and it's a very popular right back in FIFA. So I think that some of these road to the finals and as we take a look at this price right here, some of these prices ravaged 215, Pogba 710, Brandt is 155, David Alaba's up like 30K from where he was earlier today at 610. I really, really think that just like with the headliner cards, they get so inflated hazards a million, wow, hazardous a million coins. These guys get so inflated before their actual upgrade happens that you wanna sell them then because so many people have been hoarding these cards and holding on to them and of course this week as well with the games actually happening, you're not guaranteed to upgrade, right? Some of these guys could lose, especially the one thing I wanna talk about and we'll look at road to the final cards more specifically tomorrow and like the trading you might be able to do with these actually on Tuesday and Wednesday. These cards had the potential to just drop a ton depending on how the first round games go, right? Especially for Champions League games, these cards get upgraded after the first leg. If they win, they get an upgrade. But also you have to think about that second potential upgrade coming in a couple weeks when they would play the second leg. Is that team who is down and lost, could they potentially make a comeback and their cards price rise back up with a comeback win moving on to the next round? Stuff like that you have to keep in mind. Literally these cards are gonna swing hundreds of thousands of coins at a time on the really meta ones that are high priced as goals are scored. But the safe way again with these road to the finals is selling in the hype pre-game with all of them, right? All of them. And again, I'll make the point like I said before, this Ed and Hazard card is one million coins. Look at this guy's graph, a slow upwards trending price, right? And he's actually at his peak right now. I think you wanna take the cash on just about all of these cards. Yes, you could say, yo, Hazard's gonna go to a 91. But I think you wanna take the cash because why risk it? You're making coins already. If you bought a Hazard like during team of the year, when he was 700K, you're making like 200,000 coins after tax on this card, you're feeling good, right? Even some of these lower tier cards, Perlmez was 220 this morning, he's 240. Portus was like 170 during team of the year. Akanji was like 200K last week. Kulabali was 700K this morning. If you're making profit on some of these cards, take the cash because I do think since the rest of the market has come down a lot in the past couple of days, as you can see here, the icon market was at 88 points and now it's down to 82. The whole entire rest of the market is doing that as well right now. And that's why I think you might wanna take the cash on some of these because as the rest of the market drops, these cards have held their price. It seems like these cards need to drop off as well just because so many people have bought them and held onto them that they're gonna wanna try to realize their investment profit very soon. And I do think you are gonna see some of these RTTFs drop. So that's one thing that I'm really, really looking to see and really looking for a market movement early this week into Monday into Tuesday. Now of course, these cards are a bit extra inflated right now because people bought some of them probably right around the squad battle rewards timeframe, which is a timeframe where a lot of people just buy cards on this game for whatever reason. This Bruno Perez earlier today was under 200K and looks like right now he's been bought up about 10,000 coins. This guy was in the low 190s, he's back to 206. Now some of these cards are gonna get a little bit hyped up more than others depending on their links and depending on what matchup they actually have and the potential upgrade, right? These are in form upgrades these cards could be getting. So you look at a guy like Akaji, like this guy is an 84 rated road to the final card at 230, 240,000 coins. But this guy, if Dortmund win that first leg of their Champions League knockout fixture, this guy is getting a plus two, not just a plus one, right? He's gonna go to an 86, it's gonna be an informed type upgrade, he's gonna look literally ridiculous, especially with a lot of Dortmund links being popular right now, that might be a card to keep your eye on, but still, almost on all of these cards that are RTTFs, I would sell on the hype because again, I feel like a lot of them need to be corrected in price as this whole market has dropped recently. So that's one thing I wanna keep in mind with those road to the finals and again, we'll talk more specifically about those in the upcoming week. Now let's talk about future stars again for a second, just talking about where these guys' prices could go. I think these guys are gonna continue to drop until the weekend and honestly, these guys might get cheaper when this actual Friday comes with whatever content comes out with the new icon swaps. That's a big focus for a lot of people. If icon moments come out, you might see some of these top tier guys like Fatih and Saka whenever he becomes available on the market. You might see some of these guys drop. Now this team as a whole looks really cheap compared to team one in my opinion. You only have one, two, three cards that are a million coins or over and I think in team one, you had a couple more than that. You had Reina, Kamavinga, I guess there was three in this team as well, but there's a lot of like 600K here, 660 for this Reese James, booming out of packs as he has become very rare and just so meta and so valuable. A lot of these guys I think will bounce back this week, even though the market's kind of dropped back down, these guys are fresh, they're hyped, people wanna try them out. Super Sly for like 550 is a buy in my opinion. Bergwine was 940 today, rebounded all the way back up to like one million coins and a little bit above. I like Harvey Barnes with the Curtis Jones links. So I like buying some of the sell off on the Future Stars from team number one that we're out of packs and for the rest of the market with special cards, I know we talked about Centerback, Todebo only being out for a few days, but seriously, watch Centerbacks. Keep an eye on Centerbacks in this game right now because some of them that might be sold off a bunch that's still very meta or very rare and have good links, those could bounce back faster than I think the center midfielder's could bounce back because Curtis Jones is out for two weeks, whereas that Todebo is only out for like six days, five days, and just like we saw with Boateng, we saw some of those Centerbacks bounce back pretty quick, right, Alaba wrote to the final card. I mean, you guys remember how cheap this guy was. He was like, he went from 500 and something, 1,000 coins all the way down to like 500k flat, and now Alaba is back up to like the 610,000 coin range as we have Champions League kind of coming up. So yes, these are live items and that maybe impacted their rise a bit too, but I'm looking at guy like Freeze Casamiro. Those links are just kind of crazy, right? La Liga, Real Madrid. You know, we've had some Real Madrid players recently with the Lunen, there's some goalkeeper links there or Varan in form, stuff going on with Madrid players. So links right there, maybe bringing that card price back up and he's just rare in general. So definitely keep an eye on some of these Centerback cards. And you know, I bought a Cuadrado today because you know, there was a lot of Centerback and center mid sell off in this game, but I watched this Cuadrado and he is just a, if you're gonna link that Ronaldo or Kulusevski on the right side of your team, I mean, this is literally the guy that you're gonna do it with. So I bought a Cuadrado at 177, I think. And it looks like right now he's still right around 180. This guy was 220k and this is like the premier right back in the Serie A and he's got those Uve P-Monty-Cauchio links. And I think that that is a very valuable thing in this game. So a lot of meta cards that are just rare for their position, for their league, and just very hyped up in general. This Kunde, even though he's a French Centerback, was like 95k, went down to 79,000 coins. This headliner streak, Ben Yetter, was like 165 and he's bounced back, man. I was gonna buy one at 152. He's all the way back up to 1.6 mil after he actually scored two goals today and dropped down. So there's mad fluctuations right now on this market. Looking at a lot of these cards, you know, these record breakers that are very rare, there's still ways you can make coins in this market this week because cards are gonna fluctuate, cards are gonna be rare, especially icons, right? People are scared to trade with icons right now. This Ronaldinho is 1.6 million coins right now at the moment. I bought one for 1.43 today and I sold it for 1.557, I think was the price. And I also flipped a Blanc. Yeah, 1.1547 for Ronaldinho. He was around 1.5 for all day, bought one at 1.43 and flipped it and this was bought at 990K. I'm at a solid flip right there. It's just people are scared to trade right now because they see the market going down, especially on a Sunday night. So that's why I took advantage of some of those flips and bought some of those cards was because I knew that I was gonna be able to fluctuation trade some of those icons. So don't be scared to trade this week, right? Yes, the market has lost some of its buying power, prices have dropped, but usually when that happens, people are scared to trade. There's less competition and you can actually make coins. So that's kind of what I'm thinking along those lines. Now, one last thing, right? I'm making this video kind of longer. I don't want it to be too long, but things to watch out for this week related to what could happen on Friday. Winter upgrades. We're gonna have another video coming out after this later today on Monday, talking about winter upgrades specifically, but then also icon moments and icon swaps. Those are really, really big things people are wondering about right now. Definitely watch the pack code because I feel like once we get pack code stuff and add it in, that's when we're gonna know what timeframe some of this icon swap stuff could be. Some of the SBCs that we could be getting. We still need an icon moments card design has to be added to the code because that should be coming soon and that should be a part of the next set of icon swaps. There should be icon moments cards that we can attain through swaps in my opinion and especially through hopefully some of the packs. Maybe like a mid prime or icon moments version as one of the swap objective packs. That'd be kind of a cracked out pack. That'd be very interesting to try. So keep an eye on that kind of stuff incoming. And then of course this Friday with maybe it's icon swaps, maybe it's icon moments and are they gonna actually brand it as winter refresh? Again, maybe we'll see some loading screens this week. I doubt we will though because usually E8 doesn't like to do a lot of loading screens to promo another promotion coming up while they have something going on. Like we didn't see any loading screens last week for set to a future stars but if E8 really wanna cause some hype or start to get the minds turning maybe we could see some loading screens this week about whatever could be coming this Friday. So that's kind of like the biggest questions this week with the market. Road to the finals are gonna be crazy to trade with. They're gonna be crazy to make coins with. Honestly big time fluctuations. It's gonna be risky but fun. And of course future stars people are gonna be trying them out. We're gonna have pack supply. We're gonna have more SVC and hopefully some objective content as well with another future stars Academy player. It's gonna be a busy week. It honestly is. We're gonna be here for it. We're gonna be riding it through all the way. That's the market outlook. If you enjoyed this video smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new.
