 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Of course, the content right now as a part of Headliners Team 2 has been very SBC based. We've had a lot of upgrade SBCs and coin draining, right? We've talked about it in the past couple of days. EA is putting out a lot of SBC content right now to take coins off of the market. SBC fodder is going up, but there are some potential SBCs coming out in the near future that could maybe be taking fodder back to the moon that we all expected for it to go. Kind of where it went levels pre-Black Friday. And I wanna talk through some of those things today because we have a couple leaks to talk through about that icon player pick that everybody has been thinking about waiting to be released. And it sounds like it may not be too far in the future along with just all the other SBC content that is out right now. EA is really pulling you to this section on the game. We had the 85 times three SBC yesterday as expected. And again, as predicted, it did move the market a decent amount, especially in the fodder area. So I'm gonna talk about all things SBC fodder today and how that's impacting the rest of the market because I really wouldn't say the market's dropping a lot. It's just kind of small drops, right? And a lot of cards just aren't moving around as much because there's not as much demand as people are playing icon swaps. And honestly, maybe just doing SBCs and not really grinding for their week in league teams. Also today is a Wednesday, so that means a brand new team of the week. We will take a look at some of those things. And we also have some interesting information about a new title update, which I don't talk about gameplay stuff very often. And I'll leave a link to the title update down below in the description, but there's a lot. And it's technically the first title update that we have had in like well over a month. I think it's actually been like since November when we had a title update last. So let's get into this video though. Of course, we're talking about SBC fodder to the moon. And there's some leaks that are going around. Now I know right now, I think a lot of people, especially in the trading aspect of the market, seem a little bit bored, right? And when people seem to get a little bit bored, they sometimes make investing calls a bit rash. I'll be completely honest, I'd do it too, right? But you're already seeing the market move because of these tweets and this information that's been going around. That a icon player pick SBC is coming. So this is of course, it says here by trustee, one of the trusted leakers on Twitter around Monday-ish. So it doesn't look like we're getting a promo this Friday or whatever promo that we're getting. We've kind of talked about like the foot series, the foot foundations, like we had the week before Black Friday. So unless we see a loading screen today and some surprises from EA Sports, it looks like next week might be another pretty quiet week, which would be another great time for EA Sports to drop more SBCs, especially a big icon player pick SBC like this one and drain some more coins off of this game. So exactly what he's saying here, the best part is it seems like there's no event this weekend so we shouldn't see any big supply coming. And that's the thing. That's why fodder has the potential to go up a lot higher than it already has. Fodder is already up, right? From the low prices that we had just a couple of days ago on the weekend and now with all these SBCs that are coming out, we've got another SBC, of course, for an icon. We've had the 85 plus times three. We've had some good value player SBCs and with no supply, right? We haven't had preview packs. We haven't had lightning rounds. We haven't had any of that stuff in the last couple of days. So these cards are going up in price. Also, people are getting icon swaps and they're opening the 82, 81 and 83 times 25 packs and that's just putting fodder into people's clubs and there's good upgrade SBCs that are out right now that people are grinding and that just gives people more of a desire to go and do SBCs. So take a look, right? Like we talked about in yesterday's video, we knew that the 85s were gonna be going up a little bit further yesterday. We looked at a Bomb Yang and he was like 7.9K, I believe. I believe that during the peak of everything, he was around 9,000 coins. 85s on the PlayStation, 11K on the Xbox and 9,000 coins on the PlayStation. A lot of these fodder cards rose up even more yesterday specifically in that 84 to 85 rated range because this 85 plus triple upgrade, I'm gonna be honest, I think this is great value. I really think this is a great value SBC. Remember what we looked at yesterday? The 85 plus double that they required last year, they required 75K for an 85 plus double last year. So 55K for this, this is very craftable. I know it's a gamble, but if you go and do like 10 81 to 87 upgrade packs, which would cost you 25,000 coins, I would almost bet that you would get very close to completing this SBC, which is an 84 rated squad and a couple of informs if you had a couple of informs in your club. Now, since this SBC required two informs, a lot of those informs went up like crazy on the market yesterday. A lot of informs are selling at like 20,000 coins plus. And even as you look at the top popular page I'm flipping right now, you see a lot of these like Joao Moutinho was an inform that a lot of people invested in. Pal Torres was very, very invested in. And yesterday, when the SBC dropped at 6pm UK, literally this popular players list was all of the informs that people were buying up because they were going and doing this SBC, right? So there was a lot of fodder that has moved up in price, but again, with the potential of an icon player pick and without supply, right? If it's a no promo Friday and no supply, literally the only thing that EA could do to supply the market would be preview packs. And that makes us think, you know, technically last week on Wednesday, we saw the 25K preview pack released onto the game. I thought we were going to see another one released semi soon. We haven't seen anything yet. So I guess we would maybe be a little extra cautious today about a 25K preview pack, but even preview packs don't seem to supply fodder that much, like earlier on in November, when we had the 50K preview pack that one time right before the base icon upgrade was first released, it didn't really drop SBC fodder, except for the higher tier, because if you open a 25,000 coin pack for free, for a preview pack, you're only gonna buy it if you make 25,000 coins from that back, right? If you pack 83s, 84s, 85s, and maybe even an 86, you're not gonna buy that pack because it's not gonna be profit for you to buy that pack. So only higher rated fodder would be impacted with preview packs, just keep that in mind mostly. I mean, there'd be a little bit of supply for the low rated stuff, but not as much. But again, you think about like a base icon or base or mid icon player pick. I don't know, and this is not really confirmed, probably more information is coming soon about what type of player pick this is and what icons are inside of it. But you would think that this would be a little bit more expensive, right? This would probably make some of the fodder on the higher tier go up in price, 86s, 87s, 88s, and above, right? Now, let's talk about this for a second. Since we're talking about all of this potential demand and also lack of supply, are these prices going to go up a lot? And is there an investment opportunity here? In my opinion, I think people have already started to invest because you've seen these prices jump up in the past few hours as these leagues have been talked about, right? Tony Cruz was 22, 23,000 coins yesterday. He's already up to 25,000 coins. You can see this rise. As people started seeing these tweets, as people started getting these leaks, they started to go out and prepare and buy because they were thinking the same thing that we are thinking and they're seeing these prices go up. Now, take a look back in November when everything went crazy. And this is right here is when everybody bought fodder, right here. At like 23,000 coins for 88s, right after Black Friday, everybody went super duper high invested and fodder never really worked out except for some fluctuations in price in the last couple of weeks. But it just kind of ultimately got lower. I think we might be headed towards one of these big inflection points. Now, 88s before were 33,000 coins and 34,000 coins respectively on both consoles. The price ranges on most of these 88 rated cards look pretty good. I still have some of the fodder that I bought. I bought a Lukaku at like 22,000 coins like right here. And I'm still holding on to it, right? I just have it. I'm just waiting for these to go back to 30K again. I do think that some of these 88s could potentially go with just this SBC and the lack of supply if they keep dropping other SBCs on this game. Oh, by the way, there's another SBC leak, right? I'll mention that right now too. There is a Pato SBC flashback that is supposedly going to be coming pretty soon in this game. That would be a pretty big SBC. And I think they could get away with overpricing that a little bit. Although the flashbacks have been decent value this year like you think of Benzema, that's been probably the best value flashback that we've had all year. There's been some good value flashbacks and some that are just okay. But this is a huge FIFA legend, right? Pato. I mean, if you get to give him a card like this as well and give him five star skills because if it's a flashback, maybe you're flashing back to his FIFA 10 or FIFA 11 card that had five star skills for you OGs that remember, I didn't even play with FIFA back then. I just went back and looked at his cards to be completely honest. But for you guys that love Alexander Pato, this would be a sick SBC, right? Especially if they give him the five star skills. If you're wondering why Pato's been on the front page of popular on foot bin, that is why. But that's another SBC that could be bringing some demand to the market. So, you know, seeing 88 ratings, if we get a couple more SBCs like a mid icon upgrade that is non-repeatable or maybe a mid icon that is repeatable next week when the one that's currently out expires. And if we were to get a icon player pick pack, I do think that this stuff would go up in price, but it just seems a bit early to invest right now. I know a lot of people have started to invest as you look at some of these prices. Like take a look at Lewandowski. Lewandowski has 57,000 coins. I believe he's up 5K. He was 52K yesterday and he is up 5,000 coins. I mean, it feels a bit late to me and I hate being late to the party even though it seems like these cards could absolutely go up in price. I'm gonna say, please act with caution because I don't like investing in fodder a ton to begin with. Honestly, the best fodder investment time, obviously we look back in time and hindsight is 2020, but the best time to buy these cards would have been on the weekend, right? Bruno was 20K, now he's 25,000 coins. So I guess in this other scenario, if you are still holding fodder, there is no reason to sell at the moment, right? Keep it lazy listed, keep it up on the market and get ready to sell it if it continues to go higher, which seems like it could be the case. Now, if you wanted to risk it a little bit, I would say in my opinion, based off of how high these prices went up last time, like 88, sun's not a good example. Let me look at like Kimmich. How high did 89 rated cards go earlier this year in November? They went to 44,000 coins. That would be up like, basically I think that 89s could go to like 41, 42K. If there were to be a lot more SBCs coming out, maybe 88s go to 30K. Maybe 87s go to like 24,000 coins. Maybe 90s like Harry Kane and Ter Stegen and Neuer. You know, he's 39K. He was 56K and all the craziness. Maybe Harry Kane goes back to like 45, 46,000 coins. I wouldn't expect prices to go all the way up to here. I would maybe expect prices to like get close to that. Maybe, again, it all depends on the content. But if you wanna make that, I guess you could say this is a speculative investment. I would go on the 86s and above, because right now the 84s and the 85s are very expensive. I mean, at least you've seen these cards reach very high levels before this in the game. Like Tiago's 14,000 coins, bro, 86s. I wouldn't even include 86s in this. They have a price cap of 20K. That's not even worth it. So if you're investing in fodder, it's gotta be 87, 88, 89, 90 or 91. And probably not even Levin Dotsky at 92 because he's inflated in price. So that's kind of what I'm gonna think about fodder. I'm not gonna invest in this stuff. I would rather keep my coins liquid. And especially in this market, even though it seems a bit harder to trade, I just like keeping my coins liquid. And I still have some fodder cards in the club. Like you can see here, I have a few, right? I got this Holland. I bought it for 27K. When the frick did I buy Holland for 27,000 coins, right? I got a Robertson for 20K with the shadow. Like I've had these for a long time. I've had some of this other stuff here like the Ramos, the cane, that I bought like in that post-Black Friday time period still just kind of laziness in them for like the last month. So, but as you can see, right? I'm kind of keeping my coins liquid. Icons are still moving. Since we've had the two dips in the market the last two days, you've seen some good fluctuations here. Now some cards are just down, right? This Gabriel Jesus is down like literally 100,000 coins and he does not seem to want to bounce back up. But if you want to buy SBC fodder, I'm not gonna stop you. All I'm saying is I think there's a little bit of risk in it because I just don't like counting on EA Sports to release content. Now everything, all the ducks are lining up in a row and it seems like it would make sense for EA to release some pretty good content. And especially with the leaks that we are seeing it would make sense for this stuff to go higher in price with no supply and still a lot of demand. But I think the investing is going to be heavy as you've seen these prices already rise up. So that's what makes it a little bit more risky for me and fodder just has not done that well in the past month. But I think for this next week, SBC fodder has the potential to do the best that it has done since that Black Friday timeframe. So that's my opinion. I know we just talked about SBC fodder for a long time but those are all my thoughts on it, especially right now with how this market seems and the potential content that is upcoming. So let's talk a little bit more about today though. Today on Wednesday, we are obviously getting a brand new team of the week. And with that comes a few leaks already. Evidently we are getting a Chow Many 84 rated card, another team of the week. And also I believe a Jude Bellingham card has been leaked in team of the week as well. So Bellingham and Chow Money are two cards that are leaked for team of the week today. Now the bigger news about team of the week is the fact that there are no headliners supposedly, that there are no headliners in the team of the week today. So players like Luis Diaz, Vinicius Jr. and Kunku, right? You saw some major panic selling on these earlier. Now they've kind of rebounded back up. Take a look at this, right? So and Kunku was 700K, 670, went all the way down to low 600s. He's now bounced back up to 638, 640. If these guys are not in team of the week, I think you will see a bit of a sell off as you've already seen on some of them. Where's Luis Diaz? Because he was down as well. Luis Diaz was almost like 90 something thousand coins and he dropped off, I think about 10K. He was 95,000 coins and then he went down to about 75. He's now rebounded back to about 82. So, you know, you still see people that are buying up some of this stuff and you see the fluctuation on the market but what's really gonna cement the price today is if they are not in the team of the week which seems like they're not, I would expect those cards to drop down. I know some of you guys might be a little bummed out because if you did the Kloss SVC, you were maybe hoping that he would sneak in the team of the week with a man of the match performance this last weekend. Looks like it's not happening though. Unfortunately, unless things change, but it doesn't seem like there's gonna be any headliners in the team of the week today. So, it's gonna be a very interesting day on the FIFA Ultimate Team Market today on Wednesday because it sounds like it's gonna be a quiet one. It really sounds like it might be a quiet day unless they do preview packs and unless they do something crazy, it's just gonna be people getting some of these SVCs done, people still working on getting icon swaps done. That's probably what I'm gonna be doing a decent amount. And if you're like, yo, Nate, how do I make coins right now on this game? I'm trying to make some coins for team of the year. How do I do it? I would say just keep looking for fluctuations on these sorts of cards that are out of packs and icons. Again, just trading with the fluctuations on this game has been pretty profitable. And since a lot of people are just, even Fofana is down 923K, he's kind of dropped off in price in the past few hours. His people have just been kind of selling this card. We're gonna keep an eye on Headliners Team 2 cards for a potential buy scenario, buy time, as they leave packs because I think these will be cards that will rise out of packs just because they are live, just like Headliners Team 1 did. And there's gonna be a lot of people that want to invest in them. But I would just keep a watch on these cards, right? Lucas Morris back to 600K. I believe he was 550 again yesterday. Lucas Morris down to 569. I remember at one point seeing him at 550. I don't know when it was, but he did bounce back up to 600K. So if you find some cards that are in here that you see fluctuations on, Delain, right? There's a little bit of rumors of Theo Hernandez being in team of the week today. This card was up to 105, dropped down with the 85 plus times three SBC yesterday, dropped down to 95K. He's back up to 105. So if you bought some of those, GG. But that's kind of where I'd be trading right now on the market with the fluctuations, with the flips and stuff like that. Jonathan David was 170s. He's now back up to 190, right? Again, remember what is hype? French Lynx, Lee Gunn, Premier League. That's the stuff that is pretty hype right now at the moment and your rare cards tend to fluctuate around the most. I can't believe this, Fire Jesus is 781. That's crazy. The man is down so bad in price. Yeah, that's kind of what I'd be doing right now and I think we'll maybe take a look later this week too at some more specific, especially if there's not gonna be a promo, some other trading methods, some icons, especially midfielder icons with Fofana coming out have gotten really, really cheap and they've dropped down a ton in price. And I think that some of these, it depends on the card, it depends on the icon, but I think some of these might bounce back a little bit on the weekend. So I'm kinda keeping an eye on some of these midfielders as the Fofana hype maybe dies off a little bit and as people think, man, yeah, this guy is good, but he's pretty expensive and maybe a little bit overhyped for his price, especially on some of these icons that are just down horrendous, especially if they're pretty meta cards. I might keep an eye on a few of these and see if they bounce back later on this week. That could be a possibility, but yeah, right now it feels like we're in a limbo period. Yes, there's content. Yes, we have headliners team too. Cards and packs, EAs dropping some really cool SBCs. We'll probably have some more leaks heading into content today about Team of the Week, maybe about what today's content is, so stay tuned to Twitter for those, of course, but right now it just feels like we are passing the time and doing icon swaps or doing some upgrade packs and doing some SBCs until we get to Team of the Year, which I still think Team of the Year is not gonna be for another week and a half because the voting ends on the 17th, which is Monday. So I really think the Team of the Year is not gonna be until Friday the 21st. So we've got a little bit of a waiting period. It might be a slow couple of weeks in this game. I'm just kind of being honest, but the SBC potter part of the market looks very interesting. So I'm not gonna stop you if you wanna go out and try to make some investments. And if you think that 88s again are gonna go to like high, you know, in the 35K range, I think it's very possible that they could. We just need EA sports to drop some content. And so far, so recently, they have been doing that. So we will see what happens with that part of the market in the coming weeks. As people are invested and stuff like that. So just be very careful with that. Again, what we're trying to do is just calculate the risk and let it be known in analyzing the market really quick. I didn't talk about the pitch notes and the title update. I will leave a link to this again down below in the description, but they changed a ton of stuff in here. So the game has felt really weird since Christmas. If you've been on the game since Christmas, it's just felt slow, delayed, not as fun. And maybe some of these changes will impact how that has been feeling. But I think some of the biggest changes that they have made are actually in gameplay. Driven passes are now more likely to be intercepted. And then it talks about AI teammate defensive marking on short corner scenario. So they're trying to fix the corner glitching stuff. And it sounds like they buffed goalkeepers as well. Goalkeepers are sometimes unable to make saves when shots were in close to them between their knees and heads. I mean, are they making goalkeepers more OP? Which I think goalkeepers are very strong in this game anyway. So yeah, there's a ton of stuff in here. That's why I'll just link it. You can check it down below in the comments or in the description if you wanna check it out there. But I'm just very curious to see how this market goes. I'm gonna keep trading. I'm gonna keep flipping cards because, you know, there's still enough demand and you can find pockets of a fluctuation like the Sane I bought at 215,000 coins. I bought two of them, right? Sold them for 237, those are small profits, but that's the kind of trading and that's the kind of profits that you can work with right now and make coins. And it's pretty risk-free because you're working with out-of-packs cards. You don't have to worry about what content the EA drops and stuff like that. So that's gonna be the video for today, guys. Fodder might be going to the moon. We'll have to see you in the next couple of days. Let me know if you think you're gonna invest down below in the comments after we talk things through. And of course, if you enjoy this video, smash a thumbs up on it and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
