 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Road to the Knockouts, team number two is here today on Friday inside of FIFA 22. Ultimate team, we have ourselves another promo Friday and the second week as expected of the Road to the Knockouts promo. I wanna talk about today the market. What's gonna be happening today? Also content-wise, objectives, SBCs, cards that are in packs. What is gonna go down today on Friday inside of this game? I wanna talk about that loading screen and how we're also gonna get some cards released early, just like we did last week via the Champions League Twitter page. Also talk about just what's going on in the pulse of this game with the market actually rising up a little bit yesterday with the division rivals rewards and the marquee matchups impacting the market the most. So if you're enjoying the videos on the channel, make sure to hit thumbs up and of course, subscribe if you're new around here. But let's take a look at this loading screen. Who are these players that EA might be hinting at on this loading screen? Well, we've done the research, we've done the thinking and to our best knowledge and our best guess, it kinda goes like this. The card on the left is probably going to be Tapsoba or Sengraven. Player in the middle looks like Marco Royce because a lot of people think it might be Timo Werner, but an 81 rated boost to 87 shooting on the Timo Werner would be an incredibly huge upgrade. So it looks like it might be more of a Marco Royce type card. We will see today of course. And then left wing 84 dribbling, that to me is El Shirawi because Roma does not have a card yet and since they are in the conference league, I feel like that would be the perfect item for EA to put in packs today to represent the conference league. Now, I'm gonna start up the video by saying this, there's a lot of stuff going around on Twitter. I know some of you guys have seen it, some of you guys have not. We take these with a grain of salt. All right, these are not true. They're not 100% verified. They could be true, but we do not know. There are some leaks floating around. I'm not a huge fan of leaks. I think that it takes the excitement and the surprise out of a lot of this, but there are a lot of names floating around and I am gonna show some right now so you'll prepare yourselves whether you do or do not wanna see. These are some names that are being thrown around for a potential road to the final players today. Amavi, Tapsoba, Fred, Werner, Diada and a Cruz objective, which kind of sounds dead unless they really give that a big boost. So those are some names that are being thrown around as well as the young, right? Again, these are not confirmed. These are just being talked about. We will see if any of these come today. Those are just some ideas of what cards could be out in packs today. Now, one thing that is 100% confirmed is that just like last week, the UEFA Champions League Twitter page is gonna be posting some of these cards an hour before. And last week, all they posted, I think it was Marquinhos, Vidal and I forget the last one that they posted, but they're gonna show us most likely three cards today that will be as a part of the team. They even use the wrong card design in their Twitter post, which I think is so funny, but we will see these an hour before the content drops. So, 5 p.m. UK, whatever time that is for you and one hour before the content drop in FIFA, they will be posting on this Twitter page at Champions League a couple of the cards that will be in packs today on Friday. So, that is what we're expecting, right? We are expecting, just like last week, new cards in packs today. Now, of course, last Friday we had 11 new ones, all of the road to the knockout, either Europa League, Champions League or the Conference League variety, which is probably what I would expect today, 11 new cards in packs. And as we started talking about how this market's gonna be impacted and how these cards are gonna be moving today, last week and this week, right? Week one and week two promos are very, very, very different in terms of the saved up packs. A lot of people, especially with the way the promos are working, it seems this year, where we have the first week is seven days and the second week is only five days. If you think about wants to watch, the wants to watch team two cards all went out of packs on Wednesday. The day, three days before, we actually got the road to the knockout promo on Friday or two days before. So, I think that's how it's gonna be this week. But then again, between team one and team two, you don't have people saving packs with no promo cards in packs. So today, I don't think the promo cards are gonna act like they did last week. If you guys remember, one week ago, we had this Esot card that took the game by storm, came out onto the market right away in the first 15 minutes. He was 100,000 coins, exploded to 190K within that first hour as people went out and bought this card up to use it in their teams. I really don't think you're gonna see stuff like that happening on the game today. It's probably gonna be more of a slow drop and a kind of progressional drop. Maybe the first hour and second hour, they get kind of low. They might bounce back after the third hour, but a lot of these cards are probably just gonna slow drop into the evening. That's what I would expect. Maybe rise up a little bit Saturday morning and a couple cards will have some fluctuations tonight as well. That always happens. But most of them are probably gonna start a little expensive and then drop it down just because you don't see as many saved up packs. When people save their rewards and they save their marquee matchups packs, you know, there might be a little bit of that, but it's not like we haven't had promo cards out of packs. Like last week, no promo cards were in packs. So people saved their packs because there was nothing to open for. This week, we've still had the team one in packs. So I think less people are saving. That's just my opinion. That's how I expect the promo cards to react on the market today. And for the rest of the market, I think a lot of the market today really just depends on how much panic selling there is this morning on Friday. Now, this is gonna take us into a little bit of a conversation on what happened yesterday on Thursday on this market. A lot of the meta cards went up, right? Gold Compenday was somebody who we talked about in last night's video as an item who would most likely go up after squad battery rewards, or sorry, division rivals rewards. Now my day's mixed up, man. What's going on here? Division rivals rewards. Yes, those are on Thursdays. Anyway, Compenday was 60,000 coins on Thursday right before rewards, and he rose up to about 67,000 coins. I'll just show you the graph so that we can explain this out and it makes sense. So Compenday went from 60K, 59,000 coins, up to 67, 68, dropped down like everything else on the market did on Thursday with the Markey matchup supply. But of course, people need to play their games. They gotta qualify for the weekend league. Even though there's like 30,000 plus people banned for weekend league this weekend, it looks like there's still demand. So you're seeing this card back up right now, 68,000 coins. You'll probably see some of these cards still maintain a higher price into the day-to-day on Friday and you'll probably start to see them drop lower as we get towards the content drop. But people are trying to spam their games early on Fridays to get their rewards as fast as possible. So that is one thing that you do see. So that's why you've got some of the market that is up, right? You've got Marquinhos, 136,000 coins. That is up. De Jong, 114, he's up in price. Durante is up a little bit. Pogba is up still some. Bruno was higher, but he is still a little bit up on the market. I would expect to see, you know, some of the gold cards would drop one to two hours before the promo. But as we, you know, go into this day on Friday, I don't expect to see a huge drop on the golds right away. That's gonna take a little bit. And then of course, when we get the packs open, the promo packs and all that stuff, if you're looking to buy a team for this weekend, there's gonna be potential time to buy in. Just like we saw with the Campembe graph as our example again, just as we saw, like when Marquinhos matchups hit yesterday, this guy went from 67 down to 63, you're gonna see a drop like this, if not greater today on Friday as we always do because of that pack supply. So if you're looking to buy gold cards or anything that is in packs for your team, I think during that first hour of the lighting rounds is gonna be a great shout for some of that, whether it's gold cards, or whether it's maybe a hero item for your squad, maybe it's a team of the week five item, like Indombole, Firmino, Nabri, Ansu Fati, whoever it may be, I would take a look at those in that first hour. Now, don't expect to see insanely crashing team of the week prices like we did last week on Thursday because, or on Friday, because last week, of course, there was the no loss glitch and there is not, as far as we know, a no loss glitch this weekend that has been patched, that has been fixed, the people that use that have been banned, they're not even on the game right now. So I wouldn't expect to see the insane drop offs on team of the week like we did last week because of that insane supply. But just for the rest of the market, if you're looking to buy a team today, if it's anything that is in packs, definitely take a look during that first hour of the packs being opened after the content drop. If you're looking to buy something for your team, it's maybe out of packs. Maybe it's even a road to the knockouts team one card. Maybe it's somebody like Phil Foden, a team of the week who is up 10K from being really low on Thursday, Wednesday night into Thursday yesterday. If it is an out of packs card, maybe an Informed Salah, Kimmich, Venetius, whoever it may be, if it's an out of packs item or a very rare item like a hero card too, you could watch the panic selling this morning on Friday, right? I think there is gonna be a little bit of panic selling on these cards in the morning today on Friday. So if there's any of these that you do want for your team, 100% the best time to pick these up, Barela 120, that's pretty cheap. I mean, this guy's obviously dropped off because of the Vidal and the Tonali, but what will be something to watch is these out of packs cards and if people start to sell them off before the content drop today, you might see them get to low points and then rebound later into tonight or Friday. That's just kind of how it goes with the hype and with the popularity of stuff on this game that is out of packs that is more rare. So keep an eye on those types of cards if you're wanting to trade there. If you're looking to specifically just make coins today, 100% if you're just specifically looking to make coins, sniping golds during those lightning rounds is gonna be a good look. Of course, you have to think about what cards are out in the game. If you think about somebody who gets a special card today, like we mentioned it, it looks like Royce on that loading screen. What would be a card that would link to this Royce that is very popular, that is in the Bundesliga, that a lot of people might wanna use? Well, of course, Erling Haaland. Now, he doesn't have any special cards. He's got a gold card. It's like 16,000 coins, but it is a gold card and he's higher rated. So he's gonna get supplied, but not an incredible amount. Maybe you would think about somebody, let's see, maybe even a Goretzka, right? A Goretzka card, you would probably link Royce to a Goretzka in your team with some Bundesliga links, maybe an Informed Kimmich. That kind of stuff with the strong links to these cards or maybe even like a Hero Coller or a Hero Mario Gomez, not the most meta cards, but just cards that would provide a green link to this Royce card, right? As we get the cards that are dropped into packs at 6 p.m., if you wanna make some buys on cards that are linking to the brand new popular road to the knockouts that do come out, you might see a little extra profit there today. But when it comes to me, I'm really thinking that I'm gonna be looking at heroes, at icons, at some of this out-of-packs market, just to see what there is, and just to see, you know, it's gonna all depend on the panic selling that I see this morning on Friday. If I see some big-time panic selling in a couple of specific areas on some cards that I think could rise, especially stuff that is extra hyped right now, like because of the Fofana card that was released yesterday, this Abedi Pelé and Ginola are both sky-high in price. Now, I don't plan to buy a Ginola, but if this guy would go down 100,000 coins in the panic this morning, then I would 100% take a look at a card like this on this game. So watch the icons, watch the heroes, watch the out-of-packs cards if you're specifically looking to make profit, and even watch some of the road to the knockouts cards from team one, right? We know that like this, some of these cards are, you know, they're pretty decently rare, and if we don't have any cards today that drop, like let's say, like Rodrigo right now is pretty cheap. He's 224,000 coins according to footpin, and this is down. I think it was like even 219. Like a couple minutes ago. If there's a right wing from the La Liga that would be dropped today, that would probably hurt this card's price right away. That's your only risk on buying an out-of-packs card before content every single day on Friday, right? Your only risk is that a card comes into the game that day that is in the same, basically a substitute item for the card that you bought, which would impact its price. So that's like the only risk with buying some of these cards before the content dropped today, and that's not that big of a risk in my opinion. So talking about what could be coming today, we should be getting another objective player. Since, of course, Andre is out for five more days. Now, this timer actually runs out on Wednesday, and I think the objective player that we see today on Wednesday is going to have a timer that runs out the same time as Andre. That's exactly what happens once to watch, and that'll tell us if they're gonna do a full second week on this promo, or just until Wednesday. I think it's gonna be the latter. I only expect these cards to be in packs until Wednesday, so I would expect another objective player. Of course, Cruz is the one that is being talked about, and then in SBC 100%, I would expect an SBC player as well. I do believe Ronaldo is expiring today, which is kind of interesting. Ronaldo and Benzema are both expiring today on Friday. Ronaldo's expiring in five hours, Benzema in nine hours. This does not mean that we're getting brand new player of the month already, but I'm just very, this is interesting. These Player of the Month SBCs, Ronaldo specifically, was just put out for a lot fewer days than I expected him to be. Delict is expiring as well, of course, so that means I 100% think we're getting another Champions League, most likely a Champions League road to the knockouts player inside of the SBC section today on this game. Maybe if we don't see a Manchester City player in the team, we might get a Manchester City SBC. Maybe if we don't see a Chelsea player in the team, we get a Chelsea SBC. That sort of thing could happen today. So one SBC player, one objective player, I would 100% expect, and then of course the cards that are in packs. And yeah, that's kind of the promo Friday for today. I'm being completely honest. There's not, it's not like a crazy promo Friday where we are expecting anything big to happen on the market or on the game. I mean, there is this code that was dropped by Foot Watch earlier this evening, and some people are talking about this and they're worried about it. I don't worry about, I'm not worried about this at all. It's basically just a player group. He says this was added to the code, not always, but usually these player groups are used as SBC requirements. I remember this happening last year in the second half of the year, later down in the line. I think it was for, like, I forget what promo it was, but maybe summer stars where they added a code for this and we almost thought that they might require, I think it was either summer stars or whatever the other promo was at the end of last summer for FIFA 21. So, and they were never required. So I'm not really sure what this means. I wouldn't be worried about this. I wouldn't be super speculative about this, but that is there, right? I guess that that is there and that that is known. So to be completely honest, what I'd be watching out for today on Friday is a little bit of panic selling and it all just depends on the cards that are dropped today, right? People are gonna be very hyped about the brand new cards that do come out in this game. They are gonna be fun to trade with and they're gonna fluctuate. I mean, these team one cards going out of packs, of course, you guys remember the crazy price drop that we've seen in this Hyunmin Sun in the past day because of Tottenham and losing to Vitesse. You can see that I'm searching for a Hyunmin Sun at like 870,000 coins and there's only one page of this card on the market. It's pretty crazy. So, you know, these wrote to the finals, wrote to the knockouts rather. They are pretty rare cards. So you're just gonna have to, if you're trying to make coins today, you're just gonna have to follow the hype, right? You're gonna have to go where the hype is, buy the cards that are hype and find the cards that people want to use in their team this weekend. And of course, also take into account and remember again that we do have a lot of people that are banned from this weekend league because of no lost glitches this past weekend. So we were thinking that would impact the amount of demand that there might be on this game today for a buyback. I think that that won't, I would judge the amount of buyback we have today if there's a lot of panic selling heading into the promo today, then there would be definitely a lot of buyback. If there's not a lot of panic selling, maybe not as strong of a buyback on this market today. I'm just curious to see what the objective is, what they release should be a fun Friday as always, right? Fridays are usually full of content, SBC's objectives, cards and packs. There's a lot to do. If you've got saved up packs, good luck. If you save 75 plus packs, I don't have any at the moment. I might do marquee matchups, we'll see. I just have some 83 rated fodder. I'm hoping that whoever they drop today as an SBC would be a banger of a live card. I mean, we're still kind of hoping for like the Kunde type player, right? Last year as road to the final, we had a Kunde objective that people absolutely loved. Now we had Fakir, he's kind of like our SBC card that was really hype, but we haven't technically had an objective card yet. So I really hope that the objective player today is better because Andre was just really not that hype. And I think we can do a lot better from an objective standpoint, EA sports. So I hope that they deliver on that point today in this game. But that's kind of the day. That's kind of what I'm expecting for today on content on Friday inside of FIFA 22.
