 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. The team of the year midfielders are here. These three attackers, Mbappe, Messi, and Benzema will be leaving Pax today. And the three team of the year midfielders, Jude Bellingham, Luca Modric, and Kevin De Bruyne will be in Pax today. I want to talk about how the market could be impacted today because of the midfielders coming in. And of course, the attackers going out of Pax for the next couple of days. Along with that, Sunday content today could bring us the opportunity for an icon SBC that we have not yet seen in this game. And I'm not talking about an icon team of the year SBC like we saw with Hugo Sanchez yesterday. I'm talking about a gamble pack. I'm talking about an icon upgrade pack. Since the hero player pick is expiring, there's another pack in the code that may give us our first chance of packing prime icons on FIFA 23. So I want to take a look at that. And of course, the market just keeps rising. A lot of player prices, as I look around everywhere, just keep going up. And that's because the market is healthy, content is good, and people are playing this game right now a lot. So we're going to take a look at that today. But if we get a big icon pack, could the market drop a bit? Maybe. A lot to talk about today. If you're excited for midfielders in Pax, hit the thumbs up and subscribe if you're new. Let's talk about these midfielders. And let's of course, firstly, take a look at these cards, right? We don't know the in-game stats yet, the phase card stats for 95 rated Bellingham, 97 De Bruyne, or 96 Modric. We just know their overall ratings. I think today, for sure, it would probably leak those official stats before they're released in Pax. But if they are not, we'll find out at content today. And these cards will be in Pax. The only word of warning I would have is, if you maybe own this Jude Bellingham, or maybe if you own the Kevin De Bruyne Winter Wild Cards item, these guys might dip a little bit in price today as people see the team of the years coming back into Pax. But these guys should be pretty expensive. But I think that every single one of the team of the years from the midfielders today dropping into Pax will be under about two and a half to three million coins for the first day price. I mean, even Jude Bellingham and Luca Modric will probably be in the one million coin range and cheaper than what we have already seen so far with Mbappe being eight mil, Benzema being two mil, and Messi being around four million coins. These are gonna be the start of the more affordable team of the year cards dropping in Pax today. So just these three guys in Pax, they will be very, very interesting. And I wanna talk about how they enter Pax. Like if you're really wanting to try out a Jude Bellingham today, or if you really wanna try out a Modric or a De Bruyne, they're gonna be a lot different in Pax today, I think, than the attackers were. Because the biggest thing is today on Sunday we are not gonna have as many Pax opened as we saw on Friday. We saw at Benzema have tons of supply. We saw Messi and Mbappe get really low out three hours after the promo started because so many people were opening Pax and it just drove supply, supply, supply onto the market. And now these guys have gotten a little bit rare, right? And they've gone up in price. These team of the attackers have. I don't think it's gonna be the exact same with the midfielders because not as many people will be opening saved up Pax today for these midfield cards. There's going to be supply still. There will be lightning rounds and probably those midfielder specific lightning rounds that EA ran on Friday for the attackers of the attacker specific Pax. I would expect midfielder specific Pax today as well. So I would just more or so expect the prices on the midfielder icons today as my game is like being slow and glitching out. We might even have to restart the game here for a second. But I would expect the prices of these cards today to have more of a slower drop and they might even have a little bit more of an expensive price for a day one and day two. If you kind of look back to last year in FIFA 22's team of the year, Kevin De Bruyne started first day at 2.7 million coins and then when the full team was in Pax later in the week, he dropped down literally a million coins in value down to the 1.8 million coin range. So I would expect these cards to start off a little bit expensive today for what they'll end up at later in the week. Of course, that's how it is when you have cards in Pax two different times during promo. But just be very careful if you're trying to trade with any of these this week. Now for the attackers, we have to talk about this as well because these guys have only been in Pax for two days. And if you think about it, a guy like Karim Benzema with Modric coming out today, there's probably gonna be a lot of people that will wanna try Modric and Benzema in the same team. How's that gonna affect his price on the market in the next couple of days? Last year and in most years, the team of the year attackers that get released first, they don't really see that much of a rise on the market after they go out of Pax because people still know that Benzema, Messi, and Mbappe are gonna be in Pax again at the end of this week. But with Benzema and Modric and then of course with the defenders coming out and Ettermila Tau and Courtois being a part of that release as well in the early part of this coming week, could Benzema actually see a bit of a price boost? Maybe, but the only other downside to Benzema is he just has a lot of supply compared to like Messi and Mbappe. So I would just be very careful. If you want to try to buy Mbappe or a Messi for your team, I would just not hold on to any of these team of the year cards if we're gonna use them for a couple of days. I would definitely sell them before we get to about Tuesday, Wednesday, because when we get that far into this next week, people will be like, okay, we're getting around a time when the full team is gonna be in packs and these card prices will probably start to drop off a lot. So there might be a slight bounce on some of those team of the year cards, but I'm not thinking I'm gonna buy any of those for like profit or anything like that. It would just be something if you're having those cards in your team, I would definitely sell before we get to later this week and we'll talk about that for sure. Now, let's talk about more content today on Sunday. Of course, the team, the midfielders are gonna be in packs, that's pretty big, right? But the big content could be here in SBCs and it might be with this pack right here. And I wanna take you guys through and look at this pack that's been added because it's massive, right? And this would be a very, very hyped icon upgrade SBC, 88 plus mid, prime or world cup icon pack. It's a pack, it's not a player pick. This might be one of the most expensive icon upgrade packs we have seen yet, right? Because it throws in the same pack that we had a couple of weeks ago with the mid or world cup. It throws in the prime icon version in this pack and that means you've got some really, really big players that are packable from this SBC, right? You think about prime versions of some of these icons which are some of the best in the game right now, millions, two, three, four million coin icons that are gonna be packable from this upgrade pack that are now added in, probably gonna make it a bit more expensive. And when is this pack gonna drop? This is the real question. The reason why we're talking about it today is because Sundays and Mondays are the common days where we get these icon upgrade packs, it's either one or the other. And it looks like it really could be happening today because the 87 plus hero player pick is going away. So we will see if EA wants to keep the focus on SBCs and if they wanna make it a hype day of content today on Sunday with the team of the years in packs, they could release this SBC at the same time. It also could not be released today, it could be released tomorrow on Monday if EA wanted to solely focus on the team of their midfielders and the packs that they will be putting in the store trying to get people to focus on that instead of doing SBCs, right? I think it's kind of a toss up between today or tomorrow, we really never know. But it does look like it could potentially be today which is why we need to think about investing in SBC fodder. Now, SBC fodder prices have gone up a little bit because yesterday's content included a pretty solid icon SBC for Hugo Sanchez which is honestly a pretty nice upgrade and a lot of people are doing this, 630,000 coins. It's basically the same price as Ramos just a slight bit more expensive, 83% upvote for this Hugo Sanchez card that is getting a pretty decent boost, not like absolutely insane but it's a nice weak foot boost as well from his prime card, he has four star, four star and then you got plus ones all the way around plus three physical and plus three passing. Dynamic image, it looks good, right? The card is on, it's fantastic. That's gonna be very craftable at the least during the team of the year pack spam that is upcoming and then of course we also had yesterday the 83 plus times three attackers upgrade again and we could do that three times and even though people are downvoting this like crazy people are doing this pack and it's making the low tier fodder market rise. Your 83s are up to 1K, your 84s didn't really rise that much but your 85s did go up because inside of that SBC again 85s were required so 85s went from about 9,000 coins spiked up, wow, really, 13K, now they're back down. I don't know if all 85s went to 13K or if that was just a bombing, let me take a look here. They did, wow, that's crazy, a huge spike on the 85s yesterday. Now I would imagine that EA is going to drop this 83 times three midfielders pack at some point in the next couple of days as well. This might not be until Monday but if you have 83s, I mean today even though 83s have started to go up a little bit and they're already about 1,000 coins a pop maybe if you can get some on bids at like 900 or 850 with defender upgrades and midfielder upgrades coming and who else knows what upgrade packs we're gonna get this next week. 83s could be in the mid to high 1K range like they were 1.6K on Friday just a couple days ago. These might be a watch in terms of the fodder market but back to that icon SBC pack, right? If we get this icon pack today, we are looking at some high rated fodder that is going to rise, right? This SBC would not be cheap. I'm thinking maybe 300,000 coins-ish for an SBC pack of this value just because of how high it's gonna be. I would really keep a watch on 86s, 87s and 88s because 89s, 90s and 91s, they're already up a little bit. At 91s, a lot of people had invested in for the potential of Mbappe player of the month. The icon SBCs that are out and available right now, if there's an 88 rated squad in this 88 plus pack, 91s and 90s and the 89s will probably still go up in value but I think there's more profit potential on the 86s and the 87s because they will absolutely be needed for an SBC like this as well. So if we're gonna invest in fodder today, I would look at maybe some 86s and some 87s and then 84s, 3.5K for 84s. This is really solid, right? I mean, we may not have SBCs that specifically require 84s but I mean, remember, last week these guys were at 5,000 coins and if there are plenty of other 83 rated squads out there, there will be constant demand for these types of players. If this icon SBC has like an 85 or an 84 rated squad inside of it as a lower rated squad as maybe a three or four part segmented SBC, you could see 84s going up as well. So I like 84s for a really good investment. I like the 86s and 87s and I really like Informs and this is not a part of the market that I usually invest in myself but Inforum investing is very, very profitable all year long and some of these car prices are looking really, really good. Now some of them are up just a thousand coins or so from where they were at their absolute lowest in this week in time frame but 87 osmen under 20,000 coins. I just have an opportunity here or I see an opportunity here where after team of the year, Inforum's almost always explode because during team of the year we have so many SBCs that are released. You think about the Ramos that we have had. You think about the leaks for a flashback Pogba and a end of an era bail that we still haven't seen yet. We've got these Icon SBCs like this Hugo Sanchez is out for 13 weeks. He's gonna be out for a long time. Even more player SBCs and more types of upgrade SBCs are gonna be released during team of the year this week and next week. Fodder is a pretty good long-term investment especially for Inforum's. Inforum's are better for that long-term investment and this is something that I have done actually in the past day. I've stocked my transfer list and I bought some, not a crazy amount but I've stocked my transfers with a few of the mid to higher rated Inforum's just because I think this is something that I'm okay to put some coins into right now and then come back in a couple of weeks time and we'll see those prices go up as there's a lot of SBCs out there and a lot of demand for those types of SBCs. Now, let me just show you something from last year. If you're not sure and you believe me, another reason why I really like investing in Inforum's right now is take a look at Peter Gulasi and Handanimich. Two 87 rated Inforum's that were in this same team of the week at the same time as last year during the first week of team of the year, right? Handanimich was 26K, 25,000 coins on the weekend. We started getting SBCs. The full team of the year comes in packs. Obviously he goes out of packs as the team of the week before team of the year and he goes all the way up to 50,000 coins about a month later in the middle of February. February is always a month where fodder prices peak and go really, really high. Same thing happened with 87 Gulasi. He went from 25,000 coins all the way to 40K and no, this is not just an out of packs rise because these guys are meta. They are purely SBC fodder. Here's another example. Look at Kai Havertz 84 rated card. During that second week of team of the year when the full team was in packs on that weekend, 84s went down to the low 2K range and what happened in the middle of February when all fodder was sky high again, 9K for 84s. So I'm not telling you to like buy 84s today and hold on to them until February. What I'm really saying is take a look at these Inforum's that are in right now. Some of the cheapest Inforum's by rating. I like any of the cards that are from this team of the week. 85s, 86s, 87s, 88s. You could even club stock a couple 83s, 84s if you want to. But since 85s are almost this card, try to get those at like 12, 13K. 86s try to get it like 14, 15, 87s under 20 and 88s under 28. Just because I feel like with the icon SBCs with the big time flashbacks, upgrade packs like today or tomorrow's icon pack, I just think this is a nice investment if you wanna put some coins into something and not think about it for like a month, this is the perfect type of investment for you. Now the gold fodder like we talked about with the 84s, maybe the 86s and sevens, this would be an investment that you would buy probably today or tomorrow and hold on to it and sell it during this week because like we saw with the Kai Habits last year and probably what we're gonna see with these lower rated cards again, this next Friday we are gonna see fodder drop. Stuff that's impact especially the little tier is gonna get hammered with supply as people open their packs during the full team of team of the year. So that's kind of a long spiel on fodder and I just wanted to kind of show you guys that and put the bigger picture in mind because that's how I'm kind of investing right now is I know there's a lot of upgrade packs that's gonna come out during team of the year. I'm gonna be spamming upgrades, trying to pack team of the years, spending a lot of coins, but if I have like a safe kind of investment, kind of think of it like, I don't know like a long term investment like a stock with a dividend or something or a bond maybe, but a lot shorter term than that in real life. Anyways, it's kind of like a safe investment that won't really go any lower than it is right now and it's just gonna gradually go up over the next month. You'll be able to sell it and make some good profit. So I'm not going all in, I'm not going unassigned but I bought a few, put them on my transfer list and I'll sell those when they go up here in due time. Now more content that could drop today on Sunday, right? I think it's gonna be a pack focused day. I know I mentioned that a little earlier in the video. I really feel strongly about that because we didn't see a ton of pack content yesterday, except for an SBC pack and then I think EA added this team of the year essentials pack into the store. I think it was also here yesterday as well or maybe this one's brand new. I don't quite remember. There's so many store packs these days it's hard to keep track of them but the New Year's special pack will probably refresh again today and I do expect more lightning rounds. The only thing I hope comes back today is the 10 coin pack. They didn't release it yesterday on Saturday. Hopefully today on Sunday the 10 coin pack comes back and then maybe since there's new team of the year cards and packs today on Friday we saw a flash SBC. Maybe there's gonna be a flash SBC again today. That might make some lower tier gold cards move so keep a close eye out for that if it would to drop again and then technically we could get a player SBC today as well maybe the bail. I was definitely not expecting the Hugo Sanchez yesterday. I remember seeing the leak on Twitter on Friday but I don't remember. I guess that I wasn't really expecting it this early but boom EA Sports bang bang with the team of their icons and packs and then this SBC which is nice. So I think there's one more. I think it might be Javi Alonso is the other leaked icon team of the year SBC. I don't know if that would be today but you know player SBC wise we have the bail we have the Pogba. I'm not expecting the Pogba until later in this week. We'll talk about that more as the week goes on. I mean there's potential for it because a flashback midfielder dropped in the same day as the midfielders. It would make sense but really I feel like today will be a pack focused day once again with maybe a couple of SBCs and we'll see if EA do anything interesting with that. Now with the rest of the market right you guys maybe saw me on last night's video talking about trading and making some coins. I bought a couple of cards yesterday stuff that got a little bit low like Fred Centurions is one that I kind of have my eye on right now. Fred Centurions was like 290,000 coins he peaked at that price earlier yesterday on Saturday. So as I'm looking at his price right now and I see these he's like in the low 270s I'm like okay or he was just in the low 270s and look where he is right Fred is back to 285. Fluctuations happen like this all the time. I might wanna take a look at some cards on the market today on a Sunday especially if we get one of those packs like we're talking about like that big icon pack if we get the icon upgrade pack SBC today I think you would find a great opportunity to get on the market on out of packs cards if there is panic selling if we get that 88 plus icon today look at the market especially in like the 100 to 500K range because that will be the range of cards people might have to sell to go and do that icon pack to get coins to go buy fodder. So watch out for meta cards in there that maybe have sizable drop offs like Ben Yetter 350 Ben Yetter was like 380 yesterday right that sort of thing if you have pretty big drop offs in the market in some panic selling yeah 389 and he's down to 350 like I am literally gonna go buy Ben Yetter right now if I can get an undercut here at like 340,000 coins or something like that that will be a card I'm absolutely interested in buying let me check the supply to 380 you have one page if this is it this is actual supply it might be a little bit glitched but there's not very many there's some at 370 overnight so yeah for sure if I see a 340 or an undercut here the 350s are kind of sitting so I'm definitely gonna look for like a 340 and that's how I would be trading right now with this market but if there is a little sell off today that might mean some panic selling and since the market is still so healthy you might find a great opportunity today to buy cards in the panic and then sell either later today into tonight or honestly you could wait to sell until tomorrow on Monday because you probably will see a nice market rise as people get their weekly rewards and prices will probably rebound upwards across the market on Monday as well as they usually do in this game so that's kind of what I'm looking at with the market it seems kind of quiet and everything is just up, up, up but that's honestly where it is we'll see if it gets shaken up at all today with any sort of icon pack or anything like that really quick at the end of this video right now I wanna take a look at the objectives we dropped yesterday as well because to be honest, I think this is a big W I know some people are like man, Nate this is so grindable it takes so much time to grind it's very grindable it does take a little bit of time you can combine a few of these as well I think it's like 21 matches or something like that I haven't done the math but you have to score in 15 separate ones of the French player you get a lone Benzema which is cool but honestly guys, the three rewards here Doan, Onahi and the Emmy Martinez these are pretty cool especially the Emmy Martinez it's kind of nice to see EA doing this it's a year in review objective and you have to do just some fun challenges to get this done I know it's in either rivals or squad battles which probably a lot of people will play this in squad battles which we do have squad battle rewards today on Sunday morning early so this could mean a little bit of extra supply hitting the market there maybe a good time to get in on some fodder or some informs or just watch the market in general but I think that's a W to be completely honest I think that's a GG from EA and then like we already mentioned in the beginning of the video the 83 plus attackers upgrade it repeats again in 15 hours which your 83s could potentially go up higher and higher throughout the rest of this week this goes away in a couple of days from now but if this, which it looks like it might overlap with the 83 plus midfielder there could be a lot of demand for those 83s and you know, this is still a nice upgrade pack SBC to try to pack team of the years from I have seen people packing them from this and it's not that expensive to do but just like a lot of SBCs are right now it's just a constant coin drain just slowly, slowly, slowly everybody's opening packs EA's gotta find a way to drain our clubs and drain our coins after giving out so many packs so that's gonna be the video for today it's a high day cause new team of the year cards are in packs I'm excited to see how EA juice up these cards and hopefully they give them some really good stat boost upgrades so if you guys are excited again for today hit the thumbs up on the video comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new it has been Nathan for the count and I'll catch you guys later peace, out.
