 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is another promo Friday today. Foot Captains 2 is here, but that's just the start of all that is going on in this game right now at the moment. We have new cards coming in packs today, Foot Captains promo cards, new hero captains cards. We have numbers of upgrades, potential road to the final upgrades. We have a team of the season voting date that is announced. There's a countdown on an official EA website to that vote, which is actually gonna be on Sunday. So I'm gonna talk about that. If EA released some sort of information about that today on the game, could that cause some market panic? We'll talk through all of those things and a lot about the market because there's a lot going on. With yesterday, EA dropping the ball with content, marquee matchups and the Puyol icon moments, SBC. We never even received it. And even I'm checking right now, I have not seen EA tweet anything out about regular marquee matchups. Of course we have UEFA marquee matchups, but regular marquee matchups was never released and they said it was their issue that they forgot to release it. So we're gonna have that content from yesterday, like live today or at some point soon as a recording this it's not live. So there's a lot going on in this game at the moment. But if you're excited for Foot Captains team number two, hit the thumbs up on the video and of course subscribe if you are new. That's what I wanna start off the video by talking about and then we'll move into market and team and season voting and then all the other little things that are going on on this game as well. The biggest part of today of course is the team that is coming in packs. Now finally, all right, finally we're seeing this Marcelo card. We've been talking about this guy now for like a week and a half. Marcelo Bousquets are the top two biggest names for Foot Captains promo cards coming out today. The list here doesn't look as good as we thought it was gonna end up looking. Payet, Pellegrini, Ward Prowse, Trimmel, Boyata, Jose Fante. Now of course this would not be all the cards in packs or probably missing a few and I would assume that the full team will be leaked this morning on Friday. But as of right now, it is not leaked just yet. Now one thing we do know is that we're gonna get a Le Moyne objective French card and that K-Hill SBC is what is expected to drop today as our content. Now it's not confirmed 100% but that's the Tim K-Hill hero card. That's the one that we are expecting today to be our card in the game. And Le Moyne by the way, if you did not know that he has a French center defense in mid and these are his leaked card stats as well. So, you know, content today is looking like it's gonna be decent but I think what people are really, really excited about once again is these guys, the Keen card, right? And evidently, this is some news to me. I saw some people tweeting about this that some of these heroes, I think it's a Betty Pillay, Keen, Cole and then there'll be one more. I'm not sure who that one more is gonna be. Cordova, hopefully I'm really excited to see if there's any Cordova leaks. I have not seen them. I'm very excited to see Cordova's card. I think he's gonna be in either in the mini release or out today on Friday. But some of these cards are already in pack. Somebody tweeted me tonight that they packed a Betty Pillay and I saw somebody else on Twitter that packed the brand new version of Robbie Keen. So EA's got a lot of issues right now at the moment as well. They still have not compensated people from the foot captains' hero cards from last Friday where they were giving out the wrong version of these heroes, right? They were giving out base Dempsey, Milito, Dina Talley and Yuenburg instead of the hero captains' items. So they still haven't fixed that issue yet and it looks like they have another issue going on giving out the promo cards that aren't supposed to be out yet. So this seems to be a very few small or in between like not happening to a lot of people issue but that is something that is going on right now on this game. Now let's stop it here and talk about the market, right? That's kind of the content that we're expecting today on this game. Let's talk market, right? Last week the market went crazy if you guys remember because all the foot captains' cards were so cheap on this game because so many people had saved up packs. Now I have saved up packs still because I'm saving those for a team of the season. But again, as of right now, I don't think there's as many saved up packs on this game. I don't think you're gonna see is insane of a level of supply on FIFA today on the market for the brand new hero's captains' two cards as you did last week. So if you're trying to like buy cards in the first hour today because you think it's gonna be like last week, I really doubt it's gonna be the exact same unless EA would drop preview packs. That would be the only thing in my opinion as a preview pack which they have not done in a long time, still potential for it but that'd be the only thing today that would cause those foot captains' two cards to be incredibly, incredibly cheap in the first hour and then rise up later. They're still gonna be supplied a decent amount, right? I mean, the pack weight on these cards, all their pack probabilities are unavailable due to maintenance. Bro, maintenance was yesterday EA. Honestly, I think that the maintenance is what caused the issues with the content dropping as well. It's kind of messed up a lot of stuff. So GGs to EA Sports, they kind of screwed up their own game by running six hours of maintenance yesterday. Anyways, I think it was like seven and a half percent or something like that from 100K pack for foot captains' cards. I think that the percentage will probably be around the same today for the foot captains team number two. You're gonna have cards that are really cheap today from the squad just like we've had cheap cards from team one like Dubois has been really, really cheap. You know, some of these guys on the lower tier, they're, you know, 20, 30,000 coins. You're gonna have plenty of cards like that in captains' team two today but you're gonna have your more expensive items too like the Marcelo, like the Busquets, stuff like that. I just don't expect them to have that first hour really, really low price then rebound up later. They'll probably kind of have more of an even price and then drop off through the weekend unlike how some of the captains did from last week. So that's just one thing to kind of look at today. Now, one thing I'll say about the foot captains' team one that are going out of packs, there's actually a lot to talk about in regards to this. We have to be very, very careful with these cards today because there's two things that will continue to supply these cards on the market, even today and Friday before they go out of packs. If you guys were looking to invest, we don't have marquee matchups yet. Again, right? This is the tweet from EA saying, we are aware of issue that is preventing marquee matchups and icon SBCs, the Puyol icon moments SBC is the one they're referring to here. His loan and his regular version. I think that's why this is plural. From appearing in game, please stay tuned for updates. No updates, this was eight, nine hours ago from when they posted this message and we have no news just yet. But I would imagine that they would drop the marquee matchups, at least you would think that it might be before 6 p.m. today. It might not be, but just be careful with these foot captains' cards before they go out of packs. They didn't get extra supply yesterday because of those marquee matchups and EA did not run lightning rounds. But if marquee matchups drops early today on Friday, that's gonna drop these cards prices on the market even lower. And also people are gonna open their weekend league rewards that they get. People finish weekend league really, really early on Fridays nowadays to get their games done and out of the way and get packs. And they're gonna open them up. So there is gonna be a bit of supply on these cards today. Just be very careful with those if you're still trying to make a last minute investment. You know, some of these cards went up a bit because that lack of supply yesterday that we didn't end up seeing. So just be careful with these. And specifically, again, Milito Dempsey, Dean Attala, Yunberg, there's going to be more supply for those whenever EA do compensation. And I'm surprised they have not done it yet because that was tweeted out, again, a week ago was the issue last Friday and Saturday. So you would hope that it would be resolved pretty soon. But EA is kind of in the mud right now with the stuff that happened yesterday, the compensation that they're deserving to pay out from last week. And then again, people packing the brand new hero moments cards already, or hero captain's cards right, which is kind of wild. So that's kind of what's going on with the market. Now, just to speak really quickly about, you know, some out of packs cards, I know that some of these have rebounded back up a little bit on the market. Some, you know, we had some really, really great content this week, which drove prices down at decent amount. You know, Drew Dbellingham right now is 1.45, right? Let's say there's some panic selling on a card that's out of packs today. As long as there's not going to be a new card coming on the game today for foot captains team two or something like that, there would be a like replacement or a substitute item where somebody would say, oh my goodness, I'm going to sell this Jude Dbellingham because there is a center mid that looks cracked from the Bundesliga that's going to be released, right? That's not something that we have today. Or like you wouldn't expect Ward Prouse who's getting a card today to drop this Dbellingham price. Just using that as an example, of course. You know, if you see some panic selling on out of packs cards today, then you might have a potential to buy and flip some of those from a rebound. If the content's not that great, I've been selling some of the Lucas Hernandez that I have because I bought those under 220K. So I'm making some profits and we are getting another center back today from the Bundesliga Boyata. And this guy looks kind of cracked. He's medium high, he's a six foot two. He has decent agility balance for his overall dribbling and great defensive and physical stats and a pretty solid pay split. So this could be another really cheap Bundesliga center back that would come out today that might hurt Lucas Hernandez's price a little bit. So I'm just taking the safe route and taking some cash on that card right now. But I think if you see panic selling today on really rare cards like we always look for on Fridays, you're gonna be able to make some quick flips on the market and make some coins because I don't think people are scared of buying and I really don't think that because you saw some peak panic selling during the week kind of take place. Guys, remember like Sancho was 630K. I believe right now, yeah, he's almost back to 700, he's 700,000 coins, right? Now there might be some panic selling on this today because of a Joe Cole item that is rumored to come out. So just watch the parts of the market today that are out of packs. There will be potentials for flips with panic selling that you see as always on promo Fridays, that's a mainstay, right? So just kind of keep an eye on that sort of stuff. The more rare, the more hype, the more meta it is, the better if you're trying to make coins. Now you're like, Nate, you mentioned that you don't think the market's gonna crash today but you also talked about team of the season. Yes, I did combine those two things in the same sentence. Lads, this is the website. I'll put a link to this down below in the description if you wanna go click it and look at it for yourself. This is the website that shows a countdown. It's an official EA website, by the way. It's EA.com, backslashgames, backslashp.22. There's nothing shady about this. They're counting down to community team of the season voting, which starts on Sunday, April 17th. And that's gonna be the beginning of our legit team of the season hype, which is really cool, right? It's nice to know that we know when voting is gonna be out. And I believe this is almost the same timeframe that they use for team of the year. So a lot of people are like, oh my goodness, voting starts April 17th. That means team of the season is gonna be on the 22nd of Friday, which would be a week from today. This, in my opinion, that would be too short of a timeframe, right? If they're gonna release voting on the 17th, then they have to let it be out for at least a week. That's gonna take us to next Sunday. Then they have to figure out who were the highest voted cards. They have to get those cards, figure out the stats, send it all out, get their graphics, and all everything sorted. This pretty much for me staples and pencils it in that team of the season, community tots is gonna start on April 29th. Now, if there's anything different in there, then we'll see. That's just my guess. It's my estimate at this point. But it's nice to know that we're having official communication about when team of the season is gonna start. This is only the website. And I'm pretty sure today, when I saw this tweeted out, it wasn't actually tweeted out by all the different EA accounts, like EA Sports FIFA on Twitter. When I went down and looked through here, there's literally nothing. So I think it was only posted on a couple of different, like different languages, like EA Sports FIFA, like EA Sports, I think it was maybe the German account that posted this website. I don't even know where this link kind of came up from, or if it was just discovered in that way. But if there's official stuff released today on Friday about the team of the season, vote an account down for that or a loading screen, that could cause a little bit of selling on the market because people know what team of the season means. But I really feel like that this would not impact the market that much until most likely Sunday, right? Sunday, when this is actually out, when there's a vote and people start to see the cards and who they can put in for their team of the season. That's when you're gonna start to see people maybe start to sell some more cards. And this weekend, like we talked about this weekend and into next week, are going to be the prime times for watching more panic selling, especially if EA dropped really good content, really good SBCs, then we could see some more prices dropping on the market. So also, you have an Mbappe that is in team of the week this week. So there's weak and weak demand, right? And people are trying to get as many packs as they can to stave up for either team of the season or they're trying to get packs just to open up during this current promo. So there's a gameplay demand. Absolutely, there's a gameplay demand right now. So don't let that think you that just because a team of the season thing is gonna be posted or it's starting to be talked about, that there's gonna be a ton of panic selling. I don't think that's gonna happen just yet. It's gonna take some more official in-game announcements, loading screens and the actual vote to be released to start to speed up the rest of that panic selling on this game, kind of what we've been looking for for our buy time before team of the season. So that's kind of my thoughts right there everything related to the team of the season aspect that we learned from yesterday. Now let's talk about more content from actually coming today and we'll go back to yesterday here in a second. Road to the final upgrades should be dropping very soon because this is also something that's been happening on some Fridays. Now sometimes they don't do these until Saturdays. I don't understand how Gareth Bale is 322K. He's getting a plus one. I understand that these road to the finals after they've achieved an upgrade status a lot of them actually go down in price. I know it seems counterintuitive but it's just because people, it's all about the upgrades for these and once they get the upgrades, then people are like, oh, okay, well, sweet. So this Gareth Bale card is kind of down but he's getting a plus one today. The really big question that we have and I don't know what EA is gonna do with this especially for some of these cards like Kyle Walker, Tiago and cards like this who were not live in the game when EA released the first set of road to the final card. So like this Walker and I was 448. We don't know if this card is getting a plus one today or a plus two. That's the biggest question for like Walker and Tiago. If EA is gonna count that win that they just had in the first leg or the second leg depending on which team it was, if that's gonna count for their first knockout wins since these cards were not in packs earlier on or what they're gonna do with this. So I'm very intrigued to see if we get plus twos. I hope that we do. A Tiago with a plus two would be cracked, a Walker with a plus two would be cracked and then maybe even as we've talked about in the past couple of weeks as well, technically Liverpool did not win a game. They won their first game before the champions league road to the final cards were first released. So like team one of road to the final with this Mane he's only gotten plus one so far. I didn't get that first initial win upgrade. He was released as a 91, I believe. So I don't know what's gonna happen, man. I really don't, EA can do whatever they wanna do as they always do. But based on what their website says, I think there should be some plus twos today. So we'll see, again, I'm just trying to leave it an open door because EA sports is just crazy with being inconsistent this year, more crazy than ever. So there's that. Now also we have the Adidas numbers up upgrades out of nowhere yesterday, the 14th of April. I'm pretty sure that EA said it was gonna be the end of April is when they upgraded these cars. So I guess the 14th and the first half of the month to them is the end of April for whatever reason. But they upgraded the Adidas numbers up cards yesterday to their final stats of 99. So plus one in every single stat and then in their featured stat, depending on what boot the player wears once again, they go up to 99. So all these cards are up in price. Like Felix is up like 150,000 coins. Militow is up like almost 200K. I think 470, 480K for Militow. He was like 300K yesterday. Crazy rises on all of these cards. If you have any of them, take the money. Honestly, take the money while they're hyped up right now while they're very up in price. Take the cash because yes, 99s are cool stats, but a lot of these cards are still behind the curve. Militow with the 89 dribbling is still a pretty meta card. Felix and Jota, those are probably the top three. But a lot of the other items, like a Regulon who was like 100,000 coins right now. Like the fact, I mean, I'm a Spurs guy, right? And I love Regulon because he's on the Spurs team, right? And he's one of my boys. But the fact this guy's like 100,000 coins right now with the stats that he has, there's so many better cards in this game than Regulon that still have a lot of pace and way better defense physical in every stats all around. So I understand why these cards are expensive because of the type. You know, they just got the upgrades. But as long as you're just trying to make coins in one of these cards or you wanna sell at the right time, I think that like, you know, right now is the sell time. 100%, no questions asked. Where's DeMaria right now? Oh my goodness, 330. This guy was 200K yesterday. Look at that crazy, crazy rise in these cards. Selling the hype 100% on these cards is my opinion for those cards in the game. Now I haven't spoken about fodder yet. And you know, who's surprised? Usually TFA leaves fodder conversation for the end of the video. These cards are still up. Once again, we didn't have any supply yesterday. So you had rewards. You had people getting in tradeable cards, doing player picks, going out and finishing SBCs, myself included. I'm working on another icon moments pack. And so you have fodder that is still up. Now I think that changes today. I think that changes today. And if you have any of these cards, still last chance in my opinion to cash them out. Again, you're gonna have lightning rounds, marquee matchups, whatever it does end up dropping. And you know, that's gonna supply this stuff and probably drop some of the prices on the game today. Fodder has been lowest on the weekends in general. And usually EA don't drop insane SBCs on Fridays. Sometimes they do. I can think of two insane SBCs on Fridays that we've had this year. Flashback Benzema and Winter Wildcard Zaha that made fodder go up on that actual Friday. But that's two Fridays out like the whole entire year so far. Doesn't happen that much. If we do get a K-Hill SBC today, if it is incredibly priced, I mean, the card upgrade that we've seen looks pretty solid. But if they were to upgrade and give him forced, he should be hopefully four star, four star, at the very least. But if they were to do something crazy with this card today and make it really, really cheap, that might make fodder go up just for a Prem Striker fun card to use that people would get excited about. Kind of like the Quagmirella from last week. May not be as meta as a Quagmirella, but I'm just kind of saying that if the K-Hill SBC is really insane, then that could make fodder go up a little bit. But I would say err on the side of caution and sell those cards in my opinion, take the easy cash on them. And then also speaking of a couple other things from yesterday, road to the finals that dropped off horrendous in price. Ansu Fati with Barcelona, no more upgrades for the Barcelona boys. You know, these cards had the upgrades priced into them so much. Ansu Fati 300,000 coins now. He was 700K yesterday. He's down over 50% in price. But you know, De Pye and Fati were both grossly overpriced on this market just because they had so, they were so big of favorites to do well in the Europa League and their loss yesterday, which I know is saddening to a lot of fans out there, myself included, you know, has these cards in the mud. Now what's gonna happen with them, right? Ansu Fati was down all the way at like 270 and 280, I think was his absolute lowest. Now I bought a couple of these in the 280s. I was really hoping that he would go to like 310, 320. He's not quite there, he's right around 305. I think that we saw this with Lucas Hernandez and Tolisso earlier in the week. Today what you're gonna see on Friday is people wake up, they'll sell their Fati's and they'll sell their De Pye's once again and those guys will drop back down. And then they might have a slight rise back up. So like right now I'm not really making that much on these Fati's. I bought them a little bit too late. That's why I only bought a couple of them because of that. But then people are gonna be like, oh my goodness, Fati is so cheap and you know, he'll get low and then he'll probably rise back up later on in the day today. So watch out for these cards if you wanna try them out or give them a go because those should be, those should get kind of cheap again today on Friday at some point. And then, I know, I bought a Quagmirelli yesterday for 68K, except that was too cheap for a 92 rated fodder card. And then Ilhas said you lost yesterday as well and his price was down. Denier is down horrendous as well. 100, watch this card. This is a great example of a card to watch today. One of the most hyped up center backs in the league one. Now he's 150K, you look at this card, like yes, it's not gonna upgrade anymore but look at those stats. You know, if this card drops back down to like 120s or 130s, then I would definitely say that's a watch in my opinion. So just a couple of shouts for those cards that are going to not be upgraded anymore but still have value on the game because they're now so much cheaper. People can try them out that weren't able to before and they still have really, really good stats. Last thing I wanna talk about is, if you didn't see this and Kunku 91 player of the month SBC, there's actually two and Kunku player of the month that are out right now in this game, the 90 rated and the 91. It's crazy, he got back to back player of the months but this one, the brand new one with higher rated stats, he's holding gang with two 90 rated stats overall. This one is 200,000 coins to craft and complete and the lower rated card is 330k. So kind of funny to see how the market has dropped off and how EA value these SBCs, of course, one month between them in total. So it is what it is but this one is a great value in my opinion. If you are looking for somewhere for your last minute player picks that you might be saving up today, I'm gonna do a few of these, craft them up and save them for the new promo team today myself. But if you're doing that and you got some extra cards to craft and maybe you're opening a few packs, I think that in Kuku is a really good shout. He might get an insane team in the season card but I think that is probably one of the best values for price and at the time of the game that in Kuku card I think is pretty good value. So that was our player of the month SBC from EA that a lot of people were talking about on this game. So again, second week of footcaps we'll see if EA surprises with anything. We're supposed to be getting daily icon moment SBCs as well. Would we get a Zadon or Maldini today is a big question mark as well. If they did one of those big boy SBCs that could potentially impact the market a little bit in terms of fodder. But again, it's just a lot of we'll see with the content potentially coming today. So that's gonna be the video for today. If you did enjoy smashing them to the bottom, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you are new. It has been Nate, the foot account and I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
