 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is Thursday. You know what that means. It is Rewards Day. We've got to talk about what could be happening today on the FIFA 20 Ultimate Team transfer market with the Summer Heat Batch 2 kind of ending Batch 3 coming on Friday and what's going to happen with the Weekend League Reward timeframe, what's going to happen on the market today and of course what content you can expect today as well because there is a SBC, possibly two SBCs today that could be pretty good. We're also going to take a look back at yesterday's content and chat about that as well. But first things first, foot champions rewards do come out in a couple hours from now. And that means again that these Batch 2 cards, the foot birthdays, team of the knockout stage, team of the ceremonies, FFS, road to the final, everything that is in Pax right now is going to get supplied from the tradable Weekend League Reward Pax. And especially the 90 plus rated cards are going to get supplied from the elite and above team of the season Reward Pax. We've been seeing this every single week for the past few weeks and basically what it does is it causes a crash on some of those cards, maybe not really a crash, a short drop. And then some of them usually rebound, but I'm not sure if that's actually going to happen today on foot because of what is going to be coming tomorrow on Friday. And we're going to talk about that a little bit too. Now the first thing I want to talk about is what, again, what's going to happen to the market today during rewards for basically everything on the game. In my opinion, what I think you're going to see today is a bit of a drop in price for team of the seasons that get packed in rewards Pax today, the elite Pax and above. And then again, for foot birthdays and stuff that are in Pax, honestly we talk about Thursday flips a lot on this channel because that has been historically a good way to make coins in the past couple of years. Honestly, on FIFA Ultimate Team every single week, when rewards come out, coins come onto the market and people go and buy meta high end usable cards that they want to put in their Weekend League teams. Now is that going to happen this week? I expect a few cards to rise up a little bit today after rewards, but honestly I don't feel like a ton of people are going to be buying. And I also feel like some people might be saving their rewards for Friday because a lot of people are saving Pax right now because there's really no point to opening these Pax at least right now because people are just waiting to see what comes out on Friday with the team of the season cards most likely going back into Pax with a lot of big content coming then, the new season, and stuff like that all happening on Friday in this game. So again, that's the main thing for today in regards to rewards, right? We're probably going to see a drop on the market in terms of cards that are in Pax of course, it makes sense. Your foot birthday cards even are probably going to drop a little bit today. This card is basically at the lowest point that it has ever been. 3.86 for Mbappe's foot birthday card. This guy was well over 5 million coins just a few weeks ago and has just been dropping for the past two weeks. Again, we talked about it in yesterday's video just about why the market is crashing and is stuff going to go lower, which that answer is a yes in my opinion. The drop offs, there's still more drop offs coming in my opinion with a lot of these cards even though this foot birthday card is going out of Pax on Friday tomorrow. I still feel like it is going to drop off with the rest of the market losing a lot of steam as well and that's why we're talking a lot about these team of the season cards today like we did yesterday as well. A lot of these guys are still kind of chilling, pretty cheap. Actually De Bruyne is up, it's just kind of crazy right? And I talked about this yesterday too. De Bruyne is kind of up right now, 2.1 million coins at the moment. Yesterday he was like 2 mil flat and dipped under for a short period of time and then last night he was 2.2 mil. So on these high tier rare cards, it's just honestly fueled by panic selling and I feel like we're not done with that yet. On Friday I think we're going to see a lot more panic selling and I really don't think you're going to see the market rise too much today because there's not really that many people that are going to buy squads right now or buy players to put into their teams with this big Friday and batch three with team of the season cards and a possible big amount of content just kind of looming on the horizon to kind of crash the market. I feel like people will sit in a limbo until then. You might see a few cards rise today and those cards that could rise could be in relation to the voting SBC that we should get today, which should be the Arsenal right mid Saka, which was the 65 rated player I think in the vote last, what was on Tuesday? So I think 65 rated Bukayo Saka should be the person that wins the vote today. I think his position is right mid on the vote that EA gave, so I don't know if they're going to give this guy a right mid in game if he does win the vote today. I guess the other option is Rebich. I think it's between Rebich and Saka honestly for who would win between these two today. So just kind of watch. I think this card is going to win Arsenal English right mid. There could be a few market movements related to this SBC coming out. You might see guys like Jamie Vardy, Alexander Arnold and Wamba Saka rising up as strong links, maybe other French striker or sorry, English strikers linking to this card if he does get a right mid SBC today. So you could see a few price movements along those lines. But other than that today, I honestly wouldn't expect too much really going up a ton on the market. A few cards might stay the same. They might go up a little bit, but I'm not doing any Thursday flips this week. Again, as I mentioned with you guys, if you're going to do any sort of trading, you can trade during rewards. Look for undercuts, look for snipes, but what I would do is I would just keep it with quick flips, right? Quick flips because right now investing in even the short term like a couple days is probably not going to sit too well on this market. Now, of course, I'm kind of keeping an eye on this team of the year delict card. I do not think team of the years are going to be re-released back into packs. Wow. See again, look at this guy right now, man. Literally two days ago, this guy was 409,000 coins. Right now he's 470K. And that's just due to the fact that there's panic selling and there's nobody that's really buying right now because we're waiting on Friday, right? And people just keep undercutting each other to get the final sale and then somebody just undercuts too low and the market kind of bounces back up. So that stuff's happening on the rare cards. But again, I don't feel like a lot of people are going to be buying teams today. You might see some cards go up a little bit, but it's going to be few and far between in my opinion. One thing that I guess you could maybe possibly look at would be some still some links to Langley. The Terstegen, this is a card that goes up almost every week. And you're like, yo, Nate, why are you talking about a goalkeeper right now on this video? And this guy was 240,000 coins last week. And yes, he's going to get a little bit of supply rewards. Just kind of watch his price. This might be somebody that I would maybe try to flip. If you're going to be on the market during rewards, you might be able to catch some decent undercuts on some of these cards that are super duper meta that some people will still buy up every single week with rewards. So you could make some trades there. But I think the Saka SBC is really just going to cause some link investment market movements. And that's kind of the only thing that we will see today, in my opinion, that will cause market movements. Now, we also could see another Tots guaranteed SBC today. Bernardo Silva goes away in 17 hours. So that's basically a right wing from the Prem is going away to have only another one come in. If that Saka card is actually a right mid. So that's kind of interesting. But we got the Bundesliga Tots SF guaranteed SBC today. And we had the LaLiga yesterday. So technically, we could get another one of those today. And we're also do if EA is planning to follow the same trend that they did on Sunday and Tuesday, or maybe it was Saturday and Monday, we're do a best of batch to party bag. The third time we get that because I'm pretty sure we got the batch one party bag three times. It was either two or three times. And I think we might get the batch to two or three times as well. So that is something that you could also look out for today as the content. But honestly, other than that, if this is your your time to look at objectives and this is your time to look at objectives and say, Hey, what do I need to get done? Because I right here need to get myself four wins to finish off this Bruno Fernandez because he goes away in one day, 17 hours with the new season that is coming tomorrow. The Coman and the Roussillian also go away as does Mendy. If you haven't completed him yet. So I guess it's a lot of time. And I think a lot of time is the only other one possibly that is out here that has not that expires at the end of the season. So that is another one that's going to be expiring tomorrow. So make sure you get those done if you're going after any of those cards. And honestly, again, what I expect with rewards today is a lot of cards kind of chilling and not doing too much on the market. Maybe getting a little bit of supply, maybe bouncing up a little bit like this la la card was like 375,000 coins 370 right now. You know, you might see this guy drop 10, 15, 20 K tomorrow rewards, maybe bounce back up a little bit. But honestly, I don't feel like a ton of people are going to be buying. It might just be waiting for the content waiting to see what happens tomorrow and especially on Friday. Now, again, I said in yesterday's video that I would start to talk about what's going to happen on Friday. A day early today and I will talk about that in a second. But firstly, I do want to cover the SBCs that came today. Simone Verdi, center attack in mid position change card, four star skills, five star weak foot. If you are a Syria man and you have a Syria passion, this guy is a beautiful center attack in mid for you. 200,000 coins for both Verdi and Baladi. I mean, this guy's got a five star weak foot as well. Only three star skill moves, but this is a pure finisher. Nine attack positioning, 99 finishing and 95 shop power. If you do a little chemistry style, I would boost that shop power to 99. That is very important. But this guy has insane stats. 91 composure, he's really good dribbling, really good physical shooting and passing. So a through and through striker, if you like kind of like a maybe a center forward type guy, I guess. I mean, just somebody that you can play a ball into and get the ball in one of his either right or left foot and just bang it home. This is kind of your guy. So a very nice perfect link here as this is again a dynamic duo, SBC brought out by EA Sports. It's just a perfect link this time. Last week with Wijnaldum and Origi, they are obviously not the same nationality. So it was just a strong link. This one's a perfect link both playing for Torino and both Italian. So if you're a Syria fan, these SBCs, I don't mind it, right? A lot of people today were kind of complaining because these are not, you know, Premier League, French, Brazilian, La Liga, like super duper hype players like Wijnaldum and Origi kind of were. But you know what? There's a lot of people in this game that really value the Syria dudes. And even if you're a card collector, this card probably feels insane in game. I haven't watched any player reviews or anything like that, but I'm sure this guy is very good. With the stats that he's got, he looks like a stud. So I would even consider completing this Verde card for just maybe a little crafting situation for the club. You know what I'm saying? But that was our content basically for today. And then these Tots guaranteed packs, man, they honestly suck. I've opened myself on stream. We've opened the Prem ones. I've opened the La Liga ones two days ago. And now seeing the Bundesliga Tots packs today, these are honestly so bad. I don't know what it is with EA in like rigging these packs. Yes, they're cheaper the second time around. All these packs have been re-released cheaper than when they were out during Team of the Season. But the weight on these is so, so bad. Of course, the Prem pack was like the guaranteed English pack. The guaranteed Spanish pack with La Liga. And this pack right here is almost like the guaranteed Serdar, Nider Lekner, or... Who's he at? Leibol. No, not Leibol. That's German League too. All the Germans are coming out of this Bundesliga Tots SF guaranteed pack. So I mean, yes, if you want to have some fun and give it a shot, do this. But these packs are honestly terrible value with what is coming out of them. Especially for this point of the year. It just needs to be... EA could up their game a little bit more and a lot of people would be happy. We also got a tradable Mega Pack SBC today, which was very nice for the market. Didn't really change your SBC fodder that much. Maybe a little bit. But SBC fodder is still very, very expensive. That's something you could see move a little bit today with rewards as well. Maybe see some of these cards take a small downturn in price. But I probably wouldn't buy SBC fodder today. I might wait for tomorrow and Friday because there are so many... And this is what I want to talk about the most pertaining to Friday, right? There are so many people that are seeing this last week and have been planning this last week of batch three, or this last set of batch three. This is like their time to go full send. I'm one of those people, right? I've maybe spent like 500, 600,000 coins on upgrade packs from batch one and batch two combined. I really haven't spent that much money because we all know batch three, especially since they're re-releasing cards. We know how this went last year. Batch three has Team of the Season cards in it. Those have the highest rating. Those have the most stats. And, you know, they're just the most hype at this stage of the game compared to most of the rest of the cards that have already been released in batches one and two. So, batch three is a big time for a lot of people. And I do think you're going to see a lot of people save packs. And what that part on Friday is, we're going to see a lot of those saved packs opened within the first hour to two hours of that promotion starting. So, 6, 7, 8 p.m. UK on Friday is going to get pretty ugly with panic selling because people realizing that, hey, these Team of the Season cards are back in packs. So, on top of the panic selling that people have and the supply of those cards being back in packs, they could even run lightning rounds for this if they really, really wanted to. I don't know if they ran lightning rounds during like batch one, but that'd be something to honestly watch out for. It'd be a full sellout move from EA, but they could absolutely do it if they wanted, is to run lightning rounds on Friday as well. But you're also going to see a lot of those saved up packs and a lot of that supply hitting the market within the first hour to hour and a half. Think back to the foot birthday week one and Team of the Season Premier League and also Community Tots what happened on that Friday during the first couple hours of that promotion, right? All these sweet new cards come onto the market, especially for foot birthday. They told us foot birthday was coming for like a week ahead of time, so we knew it was coming, we planned, we prepped. People have been saving packs for a long time for that promotion, and then all of a sudden the cards came out in packs during that first half an hour to an hour, even hour and a half time frame. What happened was people went out, they opened all their safe packs, a lot of these new cards got packed, right? So a lot of these Tots are going to get packed on Friday, and even a lot of the cards like foot birthdays that are actually out of packs, that still could be in packs if they do best, because Bachelory sometimes isn't just Team of the Seasons, right? They put in like the complete best of. So like the best special card version of every single card in FIFA Ultimate Team is what they put into packs. They did that last year, I think during this promo, during batch three possibly. I have to go and check that for sure, but if they did something like that, that would really affect the market for all cards on Friday as well, but you're probably going to see a lot of panic selling and a lot of dropping prices in the first hour to two hours on Friday, as all those people open packs and they panic sell cards because the Team of the Seasons are back into packs and packable and getting supplied. And then what you're going to see after that is on the meta cards, the rare cards, you're going to see a really intense, quick, sharp buyback on a lot of things that are very, very meta that a lot of people want to use in their week-on-week squad. So again, you guys can know what kind of cards those are. Team of the Seasons, some of the foot birthday cards like an Mbappe, like a Alan St. Maximon who could drop today because of the Saka SBC, right? So it just creates a perfect storm where there's going to be a lot of panic selling, especially on these Tots cards, and since they're only going to have that second little bit of supply for a few hours before people have to go out and buy some cards for their week-on-week teams, you're probably going to see some dropping prices on that Friday first couple hour timeframe and then a bounce back on the really meta cards, the really usable ones after that. So if you're somebody that wants to buy your team for the weekend, what I would say to do is I would not buy it at rewards today. I would wait until Friday, and we'll talk about this a little bit again tomorrow. I would wait until Friday and just wait and see what happens during the first one to two hours of the promotion on Friday with the new season. You know, one other thing that could affect the market on Friday and all of these cards is if EA drops like, people keep throwing the idea of a Pugba, right? A Pugba Summer Heat SBC. That idea keeps getting thrown around. If that was an objective or if that was an SBC, either or there would be crashes all around the market because people would literally do anything and everything they could. It would affect the market more if it was an SBC, but people would go nuts for an SBC like a Pugba and this Friday has the makings of being like a massive day with content. So as long as EA doesn't screw it up and mess up, it could be a massive, massive day on Friday. So that's kind of like my preliminary thoughts on what I think is going to happen with a lot of packs saved, being open within that first hour to two hour timeframe, then a rebound into the night with the Week in League and stuff on the horizon and then of course a lot of cards just going down in price until then. Still, I honestly think that a lot of cards are going to still go down until then. You might see some icons trickle upwards in price, just the really meta ones and affordable ones. I always look at this Prime Makalele because he's been somebody that I've flipped a lot in the past few weeks. You know, maybe a guy like this goes up 25 to 30,000 coins or, you know, maybe a guy like Desai, right? We've looked at Desai and we looked at Blanc. Maybe some of these guys go up 20 to 30,000 coins just because they're icons. They barely get packed anyways. And if you maybe find an undercut right before rewards or during rewards, you might be able to make a few quick flip coins on those. But still today with the market, I honestly would not mess around with it too much unless you want to get pretty risky. Prime right mids, right wings should fall. Good fall. Again, Alan St. Maximon, who's right now like 550k, if Saka does win and the SBC is pretty cheap, this would be the type of player in this game that I would expect to see drop because there's another right mid version of a card in FIFA that would kind of be a substitute item for this card on FIFA Ultimate Team. So that's kind of what I'm expecting with the rewards market today. I honestly expect it to be a pretty quiet one-foot. I really do. Pretty quiet kind of day with maybe an SBC or two. The Saka SBC, hopefully it's not overpriced and hopefully they upgrade him a lot. And then of course, probably another like Party Bag or Guaranteed Tots SBC that would come out as well. And if it's going to be a Guaranteed Tots, it's going to be Serie A or League Un. I don't remember how expensive League Un was, but I feel like it was pretty cheap and Serie A was really cheap as well if I do remember correctly during Tots. To complete if you're looking to do either of those SBCs. If you guys enjoyed this video, smash a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions.
