 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We got the Team of the Year attackers today. The full team announced and more content in FIFA on honestly kind of a lackluster day of Team of the Year. Like I think I would honestly call it one of the worst starts to Team of the Year that we ever had, like a first day of Team of the Year. So we'll talk about that, talk about why it wasn't the best. The cards aren't as upgraded as I think we would have liked to see, which is the biggest unfortunate thing for you guys in the higher tier budgets, but the market has risen incredibly, right? We have a crazy market rise going on, which is what we expected with all of the packs being opened and all of those saved up packs especially, not all of them, but a lot of saved up packs being opened, a lot of lightning rounds, and of course prices rising on the out of pack specials, and specifically the icon market is sky high right now in FIFA. So I wanna take a look at these three cards, of course, we kind of figured we were getting attackers today and I wanna show you what happened with these guys' prices, just like other first day promo cards, these guys were very expensive to start with, they dropped down, and they have rebounded since, right? This Mbappe has had the biggest rebound, the blue hair, of course, kind of in the dynamic image showing a lot of people really hiked about that dynamic image, but Mbappe today was started in like the eight, the nine-mil range, dropped down to the 6.6, he was actually 6.4 mil at his absolute lowest and bounced all the way back up over 7.2 million coins on the PlayStation, so a big bounce there, on the Xbox he was down at 5.5, and it looks like he went back to around 5.8, but a huge bounce on Mbappe, that happened on Lewandowski and CR7 as well, CR7 was down at 8.2 mil, now back up to 8.8, Lewandowski was I think 2.7, and went back up a little bit over, he was down at 2.7 or 2.8, I believe, and now he's 3.1 mil, you've seen these cards rebound, but honestly the number one thing that surprised a lot of people, and it surprised me as well, on this game today was the supply. These Team of the Year cards have so much supply, it is unreal. Now of course that supply is kind of drying up right now, as a lot of these cards are, the market's kind of going to sleep a little bit, there's not as much people on the game, because it is a little bit later at night, but there were 35 pages of this Lewandowski card, when I searched his supply 30, yes, that's correct, there were 35 pages of Lewandowski Team of the Years on the market earlier today, 35, that is no joke. Right now it looks like he's simmered down a bit, and that's why you see his price going up, because it is a little bit more at night time now, the supply is less as people are using this card in the game, but it was a crazy amount of Lewandowski's, that might be one of the cheapest Team of the Year cards we've ever had first day, and that's one thing that is even crazy about the Christiane Ronaldo card that we got today, even he had multiple pages of supply on the market today, which was wild, because we're not used to that, now it's kicking me out of Ultimate Team, which is very nice, but the supply today on these new Team of the Year cards was crazy, which also has us thinking what's gonna happen when the midfielders come into packs on Sunday, because the new way that EA is doing this is they're not going one day attackers, one day midfielders, one day defenders, they're going two days attackers, so that means we're probably going two day attacker, two day midfielder, two days for the defenders in packs, so we won't be looking at getting the entire Team of the Year in packs until Thursday, until Thursday, man, we're not gonna get these guys all in packs until Thursday, as you can see, Team of the Attackers are now available for one day 19 hours, the only thing I could maybe see them changing is that they put vendors and midfielders in packs at the same time, but I doubt they'll do that, so we're looking at, honestly, Thursday for the whole Team in packs, which would make me think that this would be a two week Team of the Year with the full Team in packs for hopefully a week, in my opinion, that would be the way that I think they should do it if they wanted to get the most money out of this promo that they could as a company, but we will see what happens, so again, today at 6 p.m., or sorry, yesterday, I guess, for the guys that are in the EU, Friday, 6 p.m. UK, when the content dropped, there was no SBCs that were released, there was one objective, and of course, we saw the Team of the Year cards that were released. Now, this Suarez objective isn't too bad, I think it takes you like 14 games at the absolute minimum, my only slight pet pee with this, EA, when you're upgrading a special card, I know 79 paces might seem to make sense, but 80 paces is so much better and so much more people would like if it was 80 paces in the Suarez, you're probably gonna throw an engine or a hunter on him anyways, not a bad card though, four star, four star, like Suarez of old, that is a decent card right there, and then I wanna talk about the SBC content because at 6 p.m. UK, when the content dropped, we had no SBCs, but an hour and a half after the promo started, we had this Franck Ribéry that was dropped. Now, one thing I wanna talk about this, it's out for 41 days. This card's gonna be in the SBC section for a long freaking time. It's gonna be here for a long time and of course, when EA drops an SBC like this and they're gonna put it out for 41 days, kinda like they put Firmino out for like a month or something, this guy is expensive, right? He is expensive right now, but I honestly think this might be one of the most, the cheapest times to actually do his card because SBC fodder has dropped a lot because of all the packs that were open. As you can see, Ribéry's coming in at about 880,000 coins on the market, five star, five star left wing, French, of course. That might affect, you know, like Neymar's price, other high tier left wings, coming out of this week and make a little bit. I feel like this is an SBC though that most people are going to craft for their teams during team of their upgrade packs or something like that. But the reason why I was saying SBC fodder is so down, take a look at this Bruno Fernandez. This guy was 1.15 million coins to do just yesterday on the market. Now he is under a million coins. So he's dropped over 100K in value to do this Bruno Fernandez player of the month. I did expect SBC fodder to drop it, which was why I was not a fan of, you know, investing in that stuff before a team of the year. And as you can see, a lot of these cards are down, right? 84s are at 5,000 coins, 86s are at 10K, 11K, or sorry, 85s are 10K, 11K, 86s are at 20,000 coins. So a lot of people are gonna start buying into these fodder cards on the game. I'll talk about index icon in a second, but take a look at the index 85, right? Big time drop off, it was a little bit lower. This is probably gonna start creeping back up as we head into Saturday as people realize, hey, these SBC fodder cards are very, very cheap and that's gonna make people wanna get into them and possibly invest in them with more lightning rounds coming today though, we'll have to keep an eye on that for sure. But I think SBC fodder stays decently low throughout the rest of the week, if I'm being completely honest and how I think that's gonna work out. But it's not gonna be a bad time to do an SBC if it does come out. But of course, when we're in this time of the year, EA knows they can get away with putting out a big SBC like Ribbary and making it very expensive because people have a lot of coins now after opening packs and stuff like that. One thing I will notice, today we had the attackers in packs, we had the SBC Ribbary, which was an attacker, and we had the objective Suarez, which was also an attacker. So it's making us think that we might be getting, like people have mentioned that flashback Conte card, right? If that kind of thing was gonna come, it might be on Sunday or Monday when the midfielders are in packs, maybe a defender like a flashback Boateng could come later in the week when the defenders are in packs. So just kind of thinking through that kind of logic right there, that might be when we see those SBCs coming later this week. But in total on FIFA, to be honest, boys, this team of the year, it feels a little bit kind of underwhelming. And again, if we take a look at Cristiano Ronaldo's 98 rated card, I mean, I think for all of the team of the year has passed, Cristiano Ronaldo's team of the year has been a 99, right? 99 in FIFA 20, he had a 99 in FIFA 19, a 99 in FIFA 18, FIFA 17, you know, FIFA 16 is the last time he had a 98 rated team of the year card. So we're really confused on why EA did not go all out with the upgrades. And if you compare this team of the year item of Ronaldo to his last year's team of the year item, his last year item had basically the same stats up top, but the passing and the physical are the biggest differences. This guy in FIFA last year, FIFA 20, had 95 passing and 95 physical. That's a huge downgrade on this card this year. And of course, if team of the year is living up to what it actually is, the team of the year, then these cards should have the best stats of any cards in this game. Now, I know they say maybe team of the season is coming down the line or whatever, but for me, I think team of the year should be higher rated than team of the season. So I'm a little bit, I think people on the high tier market were a bit displeased with the Mbappe or Ronaldo and Levadosky because they thought Mbappe could have been 98 and then these two should have been 99 with bigger stat boost. So that was a bit underwhelming today. And I think that's why you're seeing the market perform so well as well is because people just said, yes, screw this, to start the team of the year is not that good, not that hype. And they went out and just bought other cards that they wanted to use in their teams. Also, when the team of the year's first came out, they didn't have dynamic images in the game. So that was kind of an L in itself anyway. But let's talk about the market because a lot of stuff went crazy today. A ton of stuff went crazy. Now, when they announced the team that was out in packs this morning and Mbappe's gold card, of course, people knew it was going out of packs. Cristiano's gold card, they knew it was going out of packs because they expected the attackers today, which is what happened. And these cards absolutely flew. Now, I had mentioned to you guys that I thought thought that these cards were not gonna be able to be staying this high in price or their price. I thought they were gonna be dropping a little bit more even to what they were last week after this week in league. Well, this is one of the things that I think in this learning scenario for what this market has been over the past three weeks, I think a lot of us got accustomed to seeing Mbappe down here at 900,000 coins or a little bit under 900K because if we think about this, literally, what was this, the early December, right? A month and a half ago, this Mbappe card was 1.3 million coins. Basically, since we've gotten down here to the end of December, I think I just forgot to realize and we forgot to realize that so many people have not been, they've been waiting to buy Mbappe, they've been waiting to buy Neymar, they've been waiting to buy Cristiano Ronaldo and that's why you're seeing such a huge, huge buyback on these cards. Now, my point still stands and I still think it's very true that more people than ever have these cards in their team untradable, these guys are supplied more than they have ever been in any FIFA before. I still hold to that point and I still believe that that is true, but that's why you saw such a huge rise on these today is because all the coins that came onto the market and just, we kind of forgot about all the people that were just waiting since the end of December or middle of December to buy these cards back and once they saw, of course, that Mbappe was in team of year, they knew his gold card was going out of packs, they went and bought in those cards. So, that's the one point today where I feel like I kind of missed the boat with the market and I feel like I kind of got that part wrong. Also with the current team of the week, team week 17, I mentioned that those were cards that I might be interested in flipping today. Now, they are starting to rebound a little bit after all the supply, but I think that so many people today were looking to trade with these items because they weren't sure what was going on with the rest of the market and they wanted to just get involved with some of these new team of the week items that were in packs because they knew that they would be good flips, there's some popular cards in here, right? Because that's what also happened last year, but a lot of these cards are not rebounding super well at the moment. This Ben Yetter 87 card is 465,000 coins on the market, except that actually looks incorrect because I'm not finding any here at 470 or 480. So, it looks like these guys are bouncing back a little bit right now. Pogba was below 500,000 coins and Ben Yetter was, I believe, was at about 440 or 430. So, it looks like we do have some bounce back, which is nice. Yeah, Ben Yetter's actually, Ben Yetter's 500K, so he's bouncing back very, very nicely. Fuppin has not updated to show that yet, but that, I think on the lower tier, I was looking at Indombley today and that card really just wasn't gonna have the bounce back that I think it could. It's just too low tier of a card, right? Indombley right now is how many thousand coins? It looks like he's at like 35, 36,000 coins, which is, you know, this guy just had so much supply today that Yetter and Pogba are gonna be the ones that bounce back the most. Also, right? Since we didn't have a lot of hype content, we didn't see too much panic selling, but there was some panic selling right before 6pm UK that you could have capitalized on. And if you bought Metta out-of-packs cars, not just from this team in the week, but of course, you'd look at some of the headliner prices, right? Sun was 1.05 mil. Teo Hernandez, of course, is up a lot because of the Ribery link, but Upp Makano's at 30K. Diego Carlos is up about 20,000 coins. Lozano is up 50K, he's at 700,000 coins right now. Some of the other headliners, Felix is up. Benyeter is up 100K, Zaha is up 70K, Bomba is up a lot. A lot of the Metta cars that we talked about probably rising today definitely did rise. I wanna look at Freeze cards, right? I was a big fan of these. These guys exploded today. Latorra Martinez back over 300K. Mane was 1.85, he's back to 2.1. Verate is even up like 15, 20K. Bernardo Silva is up 50K. This Usman Dembele is one card that I wanna show you. This guy, I was watching him on stream and I shoulda went with my gut feeling, man. Right when there was no content released, I went back to the market and started searching up all of these special cards because I knew that people were just gonna start buying this stuff back. This Rashford was 960 this morning. He didn't have a crazy high bounce back. He's at 1.05 right now, so that's up 90K. Alan St. Maxman was about 940 at his lowest. This Dembele was 1.13 and is now 1.25. That was my biggest L of the day, was not buying that Dembele card. And some of the icons as well that I did not buy, Blanc for 1.85 is now going for 127. Harry Kane record breaker, there was a couple of them under 1.1 mil. And now this dude is back up at 1.2 almost. So a lot of the really rare cards, I mean, sometimes you just have to have a learning experience and you have to learn the hard way and watch the cards go up and you didn't buy and you kind of learn the best by saying, hey, all right, this is what I learned today. I didn't buy kind of VARO at 737 and now the dude is back up over 800K. So I should have bought him there. Obviously couldn't make your profit on that. This is one of those days where you just learn a lot. And when you see the market go up like this, you're gonna learn a lot from it, right? Bruno Fernandes 445,000 coins. I'm pretty sure this guy is almost 500K. I'm pretty sure this first informed Bruno is back to almost 500K at 490 right there. So a huge, huge market rise. This card, right, was 1.35 mil when they announced the team of the year. I went quick to the market and didn't buy the one at 1.35. It's not on my transfer targets anymore, but I didn't buy a Messi at 1.35. It was there and now the dude is 1.5 mil because he didn't get into team of the year. So a lot of learning, right? A lot of learning happened today, especially just knowing when to trust your gut and when to actually buy cards. I bought this drug by a 1.3 which was really not a good deal in the moment. I did get a nice sale at 1.37, so I made like 7K profit. But you know, I was upset with myself today, boys. I was upset on the live stream. We probably weren't able to tell, but I was upset because I did not have as good of a day as I wanted to because this is a big promo Friday, right? With all those coins coming in with the market looking like it is, you wanted to have a good day, right? You wanted to make a lot of coins and I'm sure a lot of you guys did, right? But I was not happy with myself. I did not perform to the level that I wanted to perform to today and that just drives me more. And that's the one thing I wanna talk about to end this video is how are you gonna frame things, right? A lot of you guys might be a little upset that Neymar is up to 730,000 coins where Mbappe is up so far and you didn't have a chance to get in, right? I know the feeling. I get the feeling. But, you know, other things, you just kinda have to frame it in your mind in a different way. Use that as a motivating factor to try to trade and to make more coins and to get better and not sit and be sorry and feel bad about not making the moves or not performing as well as you wanted to. So, that is the one thing that I wanna take away as something from today. And one thing that we can do to kinda bounce back from that is if you wanna do upgrade packs during Team of the Year, the Premier League rares today. They're literally back to discard. A lot of these were 1,000 coins. So, let's say you wanna make a bounce back move. Get on the open bids. Get on the open bids for rare cards because these guys were back down at discard during lightning rounds after being very, very inflated. Now, I mean, if you're somebody who's just gonna be going on a sign to do packs, then that's an investment you can make. Or if you wanna bid and stock SBC fodder in the club, that is something that you can do as well. But I just wanna kinda put that mindset out there because that is something I think is very, very important. I think that the mind game, especially in the FIFA trading zone with the market and how you view things that happen inside of FIFA is so big, right? I'm always positive. I'm always trying to stay positive. But sometimes like today, some things don't go the best, right? A lot of you guys are like, yo, Nate, what do you mean, man? I made so many freaking coins today, flipping cards or whatever, like GGs, like G freaking Gs. I'm glad that you had a good day. Or like, I packed Team of the Year, it's your seven or whatever, you know? But you can take the losses and turn them into knowledge, right? Because that knowledge can turn that loss next time into a gain and that can be, you know, the difference between you making coins and achieving your goal in FIFA and maybe not. So that's what I wanna kind of encourage you guys with today as I talked about the content for sure. It was kind of a downer start to Team of the Year. It was kind of a downer start, but hopefully EA bounces back very soon with a good Saturday of content and beyond. So that's the video for today, boys. I'll have one coming tomorrow morning as well, but I wanted to get this one out just to talk about the market being crazy high and to cover what happened with Team of the Year on Friday in FIFA 21, all the team.
