 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I want to talk with you guys today about EA Access. Now I know that this is still a couple weeks away, but I want to get you guys prepared for this because this is a very big point of FIFA 20. Obviously you get a chance to play FIFA 20 a couple of days early, you get a chance to get inside the menus for the first time, and it is a 10 hour trial that should be coming out on the 19th of September. That should be the release date for EA Access. That's what it says on the PS4 console and on the Xbox console, since it is out for both of those consoles this year, which is a new thing for FIFA 20. And when you see me, we're going to look at some footpin graphs today. When you see me look at those footpin graphs, we're going to be looking at Xbox prices because last year on FIFA 19, EA Access was only available on Xbox. So PS4 guys from last year, we're going to be looking at Xbox graphs and don't just think that they want to apply to you because this year they actually will apply to both consoles this year because both consoles for the first time will have EA Access. But I want to talk about today how to best use your 10 hours on EA Access and also how to best trade and make coins during EA Access. So it's going to be a big time video, all that kind of stuff. So basically what you're going to happen is when you load up FIFA 20 for the first time with EA Access, you're going to see it say something about starting your 10 hour trial, plus yes, it'll put you into the game, and you'll be sitting here on the menus like this. Depending on if you've used a web app before EA Access dropped, you might have some coins. If you're EA Access the first time getting on the game, you might have a couple welcome backpacks. You go through all the welcome stuff or whatever on the actual console. And the first thing that I always recommend to people is going into the catalog and redeeming all the free stuff from up here. Somebody told me that there is not going to be a catalog for FIFA 20. I don't know if that's true or not. So if we don't have a catalog for FIFA 20, we won't be able to have these coin boosts which are very nice to have, or all the balls that you can quick sell in here. So if you actually, if we do have a catalog in FIFA 20, make sure you redeem all of the balls and the kits and the individual items that are in here and you can quick sell those, a few coins off of that to help you get your coin total up to start and to begin with. But other than that, some general things about EA Access and the best way to use your 10 hours, I want to talk about that first before we get into trading stuff. Using your 10 hours on EA Access, unless there's a glitch where you can get unlimited hours, we'll look and cover that if that happens when EA Access is actually happening. But the best way to use your 10 hours is it's a one question, it's a one answer to the question. And that is gameplay because packs are so huge early on in this game that if you can collect some rewards from playing squad battles from online drafts or from division rivals, which I would, those would be the only three modes that I would consider playing because you do get coins from those and rewards. And to narrow it down even more specific, I would just stick to squad battles because you can get a lot more games in on squad battles. You don't have to worry about trying to connect to an opponent, laggy gameplay or opponents rage quitting. You just play against the computer for 90 minutes and you can rack up some rewards based on doing squad battles and playing squad battles. So you get four games a day on squad battles. So this should take you just over an hour a day. If you just play squad battles, which I recommend only playing on EA Access. If you have a time to 10 hours and there's no way to get around that 10 hours or to make it even more. I would say the best way to use those hours is to play games and to play squad battles specifically because you can get four games in in a little bit over an hour, let's say an hour and 20 minutes. That's 20 minutes per game, an hour and 20 minutes for four games. If EA Access does drop on the 19th, you will have your 10 hour period. You can split that up over a couple of days. So you should be able to hop on and play four games and then you can hop off or hop on and play two, hop off and whatever. But playing games on squad battles I think is the best option for you guys at the beginning of the game. Don't worry about your skill level too much, maybe even set it a little bit lower than you think you might want to. Because you're just about getting rewards. And if you're going to be playing more games, you can lower the skill level a little bit, especially if it's getting into a new game and you're not entirely sure what your skill level could be for this game. Maybe if you're usually playing on legendary on squad battles, maybe tone it down into a professional, just so you can get guaranteed wins and guaranteed more rewards. You're not entirely worried about getting the highest rank, you just want to get solid packs. Most people maybe will be playing on professional or semi pro. And if you play most of your games on that, I mean you're probably going to end up getting a high gold rank, like a gold 2, a gold 1 maybe. And if you look at some of these packs, Prime Mix players, premium gold players pack, Jumbo premium gold pack, and 11,000 coins, I mean obviously these are FIFA 19 rewards. But imagine getting that on Sunday night of the first like three days that the EA access is live. Imagine getting that kind of pack you might be able to make with the 11,000 plus those packs, you might be able to make 50k from a squad battle rewards. Even by just packing a few 82s and maybe an 83 rated player, that's some big time coins from EA access. So the best way in my opinion to use your 10 hours on EA access is to get inside the game, start playing. And if you match yourself out in squad battles games and you think that you're going to have extra time that you have to play and your squad battle rank won't be improved by playing more games, then maybe slip into division rivals and see if you can get a few games in. And just kind of see where the amount of the rank is, like how much score there is for each rank. If you can tell that there's a lot of people playing squad battles or a lot of people playing rivals, play the other one because you might be able to attain a higher rank where less people are playing and therefore get better rewards if you put more time into that. So kind of just keep in tune with where the rewards rankings are for rivals and for squad battles based on the amount of points because I think actually it might not be worth it to play rivals at all because you had those ranking games at the beginning, those five matches that it takes you to get ranked into rivals. So squad battles literally might just be the best way to do it. That way you don't have to waste any time on the five ranked matches where it places you in a division for rivals. So I would say probably just stick to squad battles. Now that I think about that, just stick to squad battles and just spam as many games in that game mode as you can. A draft, if you're somebody who has FIFA points, then possibly a draft could be good if you are an advanced player, if you are very good at the game from FIFA 19 and years before, a draft could be worth it for you but only if you're going to get three or four wins in the foot draft would I recommend spending the 15,000 coins or the FIFA points on actually going into those drafts. Other than that, I would just recommend staying on squad battles and spamming those games with whatever team that you have in your squad at that time. So that's how I would use your 10 hours. But now I want to start looking at some trading stuff because the EA Access period is finally when we have people that have demand on the game for teams. I did a video yesterday about the web app and the ways to trade and kind of how we have to think about trading during the web app period where nobody has teams they can actually play with yet. They're just building teams to actually have a starter squad and to actually put a team together in their club or in their ultimate team but they can't actually use it yet so the demand is a lot different there since people aren't actually trying to get players to play the actual game itself. But with EA Access we have the full game we can play so that's where the kind of demand for this stuff changes inside of the game. So I have here a bunch of graphs and tabs of foot bin that we're going to look at and the first one I'm going to talk about is basically some of these cards that you're going to flip and each one of these cards that I'm looking at here today tells a story. So basically what I did last year during EA Access was I flipped a ton of cards and you know in the middle of EA Access is when foot bin kind of gets up and running so you can start to see a little bit of these trends. This is Kieran Trippier. This is a 82 rated right back from the Premier League so this is a very base it's not a very good card but the start of FIFA this is a decent card that a lot of people are probably using their starter teams. He's 82 rated and look at his price first day 6,000 coins upwards of 7,000 coins for that first couple of days and you see his price kind of rise up into the actual early access release for people that pre-ordered the game. Then he kind of goes down and then goes back up upon the full game release but we're focused on this period that's basically right up until before this graph happens and then up until this point on Monday right here. Now I made a lot of notes from last year. I had this little trading notes page that I made for myself and basically I was reading through that today to kind of remind myself what I did last year at the beginning of the game. I remember trading with this Trippier card because there's a lot of ups and downs that happened with the market during the EA Access period. The same thing with this Jesse Lindgard and foot bin is like whack right now. What's all this white space? I don't know foot bin is crazy at the moment. But there's a lot of fluctuation with these cards. You see Lindgard's price here is at 10,000 coins on a daily average, about 10,000 on Friday, 10,4 and almost 11,000 but pretty similar until his price drops off considerably when the early access comes out. But what you don't see here is a daily fluctuation. This price right here, the daily price doesn't show you actually the fluctuations that happened throughout the day. I remember multiple times last year that I was going on to the market during EA Access. I was looking up Jesse Lindgard. I'll do it for you guys right now. I was looking up Jesse Lindgard and his card was going for around 8,000 coins late at night. This card right here I'd buy it for 8,000 coins. Basically when the UK falls asleep, which is about midnight UK for the next three or four hours, is a great time to pick up cards. Now for somebody who can stay up late, it's a great opportunity or if you're even up at midnight UK, it's kind of a decent opportunity to start looking at some of these cards, which also midnight UK is like 7pm for us guys in the US. So that works out very well because that's kind of our peak time where most of the people are on. Easiest for us to play FIFA at that time. But overnight when the UK was asleep, the UK was not awake, this Lindgard card would drop down to about 8,000 coins, 8,500, and then boom, the UK would wake up in the morning the next day and he would be 11k. So I have multiple notes of last year where I bought Lindgard for around 8,000 coins and was able to sell him for 11k literally like 7 or 8 hours later. So that's something that we can do is during that low period of the night, we can go on the market and pick up some cards, listen for 6 hours overnight and maybe increase them like 20% in price. And then we can wake up in the morning and we'll probably see them start to sell, which is perfect because then we can do some more trading throughout the day and we can be safe and have all of our cards sell before 6pm in case EA drops some content. And then we can do the same thing the next night. You can find different cards that work the best. Excuse me, some cards fluctuate more than others. Premier League, English, very hyped up, new transfer cards. I traded with Giorginho, obviously last year Giorginho was a once to watch. He had a decent card, his card this year still looks not very good. I'll just, that's to say the least. His card this year does not look very good, but this card's a solid center mid for starter FIFA 19 team and I remember this card fluctuating a lot from about 8 to 11k as well early on in the game. And then this is basically what you want to do with these cards. The flipping, the up and down trends is the biggest thing that you're going to want to be able to wrap your mind around. You'll be able to see it on flip and graphs. Obviously you can't see it on here because this is a daily graph, not an hourly graph, but there will be daily graphs that see this after the first couple of days of EA access. You'll be able to see stuff gets low at night, you can pick it up, and then you can sell it during the day, during the peak times of FIFA, the next day of EA access as people get on again, they start building their teams, they're using their 10 hours to play games, etc. So that's one point I wanted to make. One other thing that I want to make regards these two guys right here, Paracich and Douglas Costa. Now obviously I don't know what's going on with this foot bend thing, all this white space, it's ticking me off. But I want to look at this right here because this is somewhere that I did not take action last year. I saw this massive difference and there was a big time coins to be made here. And it basically revolves around players that are on the same position in the same league, but there are different prices at the start of the game. And I have two examples of this. First one is Douglas Costa and Paracich. So Douglas Costa you see here, obviously he's got the five star skills, he's very fast. So he's got a lot of pace. If you're looking for a left winger in the Syria or Brazilian left winger, this is your guy. So he's about 70,000 coins first couple days of EA access. Paracich on the other hand, down here at about 32K, rises up to 40K. And I want to talk about this a little bit. Actually before foot bend graphs even registered this, I remember Yvonne Paracich being 16,000 coins on the first and second day of EA access. He was 16,000 coins for an 86 rated card like this at the start of FIFA, which is ridiculous. Douglas Costa as a matter of fact, this card was about 40K. So he even rose almost double between when the EA access first came out and when you see the graph start here on a Friday, which I think actually was about the same time. But I think first day, Douglas Costa was like 40,000 coins and he shot up to 70 right away, but Paracich was 16K. So Paracich was very undervalued and that's why you see this massive rise from 30K. He was actually 16K and he goes all the way up to 40K. But you see that massive rise because if you think about left wingers or left mids in the Syria, you kind of come down to these two guys as your only options, Paracich and Douglas Costa. And when they have such massive price discrepancies with 16K versus 40K, something has to get either one has to go down to meet the other or one has to go up in price to meet somewhere in the middle or reach all the way back up to that other player's price depending on how good the cards are, everything like that. But what happened in this case was Paracich went up to get closer in price to the Douglas Costa card because of how expensive he was and people were like, well, I want to make a Syria team. Douglas Costa is 70K, but I only have like 50K so I'm going to have to go and buy Paracich instead. There's a lot of stuff that happens like that in the game. One other example of that that I do have is actually Rashford versus Martial. Rashford's base card, 81 rated, this card was stupid expensive at the beginning of the game. For an 81 rated card, look at this drop off. Look at this drop off from Rashford. It's crazy. But him and Martial had a similar effect at the beginning of the game. Rashford's around 30,000 coins. Obviously he drops off a bunch. So here's Rashford at 30K. Now let's go over here and look up Martial. Kind of compare these guys again because I remember this same thing happened with these cards during the year as well. What is this? This is an 83 Martial that we want to look at right here. So Martial, let's go all and zoom it back out and we'll get the right price for you guys. So I can show you this little comparison right here. So Martial right here up to 50,000 coins right away. Rashford is about 32,000 coins. But first day I remember Rashford being under 20,000 coins. And I knew after I saw Martial at around 40K that there had to be something to give there. So obviously I think I bought one Rashford at like 20K and I sold it right here for 30,000 coins like three days later. So that was a decent little bit of flipping, almost an investment. But it is basically just flipping. It's basically just flipping for this EA Access period. And that's what I wanted to emphasize again with you guys as well. EA Access and the web app is all about flipping, flipping and flipping. I mean we're not going to be sitting here on the game and buying cards to invest in, maybe a little bit towards the end of EA Access into the early access, the pre-order stages of the game. But most of the time you're just going to be flipping cards, finding the trends, the fluctuations, buying low at the night time when the game is low, dead, and then selling the next day in the hype when everybody is back onto the game. So that's kind of your main mindset for a lot of this stuff. And I think I showed some good examples there with the Rashford, with the Paris Etch and with the Douglas Costa. But a lot of that stuff, like finding the Rashford and the Martialog, finding what makes their prices be so far apart, it just kind of depends on the market. So this is the kind of time of FIFA where the way that you're going to want to find players like this is literally just going into, I'm going to go to FIFA 19 players for the sake of FIFA 19 and finding stuff like this. But I would basically just go by league. So search top five leagues, we're going to go Premier League, then we're going to search by position. So let's go, you know, you'll probably need a center back. Well, now there's a lot of those. Let's go right backs in FIFA. Right backs that are version gold, all gold rare. So a gold rare right back. What do we have in FIFA? Walker, Valencia, Trippier, Aurier, some of these guys. I mean, Ricardo Pereira for me was a, I flipped this card so much for around 10,000 coins, like seven to 10K at the beginning of the, yes, look at this 10,000 coins right here. I flipped Ricardo Pereira all the freaking time because this is a perfect starter team right back. And his card price fluctuated so much because of that. So look to buy some of these cards, especially during little like reward sprees, like Sunday night when we get the first squad battles rewards. A lot of these cards will dip down in price from the supply, but they'll shoot right back up after rewards. It's exactly like a footchamps rewards during the weekly cycle of the game because that's like the first rewards that are on the game that people have to actually get coins and to open up packs in that way is by getting those squad battle rewards. So that's a great time to flip some of these cards. Even guys like Callum Wilson, I have very, very good memories of flipping this Callum Wilson card. He was like 4,000 coins. Boom, nailed it on the head. Look at that, 4,000 coins. My memory is serving me correctly. He's like 4,000 coins in the first couple of days of this game. I was flipping this card all the time from like 3, 3.2K to 4.5K because it's a perfect, pacey and English striker in the Premier League. A lot of people like to start off the year playing with the Premier League team. They just build it up and keep improving it throughout the year. So just look at good nations, good leagues for cards that you can flip during EA access because people actually have an incentive to play the game now. They can actually get on the game, they can play rivals, they can play draft, they can play squad battles, and they start building their ultimate team. So I would recommend just looking at some of those cards, looking at English guys, looking at some of the new transfers that could be hiked up, that are going to be somewhere in the perfect range for a lot of these cards that you're looking for in price like the Callum Wilson's, like the Giorginho's. You're looking in that like 2 to 20K range. 20K might be a little bit high, 15K because think about yourself early on in the game. You might only have 50,000 coins. So yes, you could buy 10 Callum Wilson's for 3,000 coins. That's going to take you 30K. That way you have a little bit extra to trade with if you're on like that 50K budget because it's hard to invest in stuff. It's not going to be worth it for you. If you have 20,000 coins, it's not going to be worth it for you if you invest in two Jesse Lingards that are 10K and put all your coins into that to make 5K from both of those cards. So you spent 20K to make 5K, but you had to wait overnight and do nothing else with your coins because you didn't have any coins in the meantime. That's just not too worth it in my opinion. So if you're going to be investing in stuff and flipping like this, make sure you're being conscious with your budget and use good coin management early on in the FIFA stages. But this should help you guys out in terms of what to do with the first 10 hours of EA Access. I know there's a lot of information on this video. If you need to go back and rewind it and listen to what I said again, I would highly recommend that because it was just like boom, boom, boom, stuff coming right at you in terms of reading the footprint graphs and looking at cards and talking about the market movements and stuff like that. And if you want me to do another video on this EA Access flipping and trading stuff, let me know I can go a little bit more in depth on some of these things. But my next video in terms of timing and events that happen on the game, because we have the web app. I made a video about that. I'll link that below. We have this EA Access video. And then I'm going to make a video about early access too. When everybody that pre-orders the game gets on the game, there's a lot of crazy market movements because of that. A lot of supply enters the market at that time period. But still, a lot of stuff goes crazy high because people get coins again because some people don't want to spend the $5 on EA Access or they don't even know about it. So they know that they pre-ordered the game and they got it early. Then they start playing. It's a whole new batch of people entering the game. And it's just so freaking fun. I'm so excited for the start of FIFA Ultimate Team. Right now, after putting a few of these videos out, seeing some of the content that the guys that were at the capture event has been putting out as well. The pictures and stuff, at least before they've released their content, as of right now they haven't released it. But I'm very excited for a lot of that stuff. But again, best way to use your 10 hours on EA Access, play games, spam games, get rewards, get packs, you can trade on the web app or the companion app and not use your 10 hours. And then of course, some of those trading methods including flipping the daily fluctuations of cards that are popular, that are meta, that people want in their starter teams for FIFA 20. If you enjoyed the video, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions. And of course, subscribe to the channel if you are new. It's been Nate, The Foot Accountant.
