 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I want to talk about the ShapeShifters promo and talk about the market right now as well, because it looks like we are kind of in a downward trending kind of a crashing market. I just want to talk about like the state of the market and why stuff is going down, just kind of what is going on with some of the stuff in this game right now. Of course, we have new icon moments. We have these new ShapeShifter cards, which people are, you know, pretty pumped about. I mean, I think these cards are really cool. I think a lot of people are enjoying them. It just brings a new aspect to squad building on foot. And yeah, I think a lot of people are like, this Marcelo card just looks pretty nuts and pretty crazy, right? And the rest of the squad, there are some pretty solid updates in this squad. So why is the market going down during this promo though? We kind of saw it last week as well. Like the past week and a half, stuff has started to go down on the market. Why is that? What's going on that's making this market go downward in price? And we're seeing it across all sorts of the market, right? We're seeing it across team of the week cards. We're seeing it across the winner refresh cards. They have rebounded a little bit back up, but like foot future stars, these cards are not as high in price as they were before. A lot of them have dropped. Luis Flipe, under 200K. Tamori still kind of holding steady. Danny Olmo, like he's down a bunch. Martinez is down a lot. A lot of these guys aren't really holding their prices that well. And I just kind of want to talk about why we're seeing a lot of the stuff on this market just kind of decline, right? Looking at the index 100 on the daily graph as well. And this is basically an entire index of the whole market. So we'll look at actually index special probably because a lot of this, a lot of the selling is kind of fluctuated or in more like the special card area than anything else. We have, obviously we have team of the year. We have a big time inflation like the bubble. I guess you could call it after team of the year. We have future stars and then these past, you know, this past like week and a half, we've had a downward trending on the market with a lot of things. What is causing that? I want to talk about that a little bit today because it is important, right? And a lot of prices are going down. But I think it is genuinely EA's issue that we are having, you know, this stuff happening on the game right now. We are having a little bit of a market crash because basically the lack of content that EA is putting out. That's my thinking on it. Yeah, we do have a couple SBCs, right? Make it Tyrion. Nice SBC. That's a GG, right? That's day one SBC. But the rest of the stuff that we've gotten these last two promos has just not been good at all. Like these last, last two weeks of like the future stars promo that we had, the winter refresh promo was just, the winter refresh promo had, we were some bright spots on there, but also just so much was left to be desired with the upgrades, with the upgrades on the special cards. Even the cards that did get plus threes, which got upgraded, their upgrades were not that good. People weren't that happy with them. And that's just kind of started this trend of just people. I think people are getting tired of FIFA to be honest. I really do think that people are getting tired of this game and they just don't want to go and play it. And they just don't, they just don't want to grind it because yes, there's new cards coming out and you know, that gets them on maybe for the weekend, right? Maybe they're interested in looking at these cards for the weekend and checking them out and looking at the new ones that we get. And maybe if they fit their squad or whatever, they go and they give them a try, right? But for a lot of people, they're just, I think they're kind of starting to get to that point where the year, where they're leaving the game and EA is doing their best, best efforts to try to keep people on the game by throwing new promotions out there, by throwing new cards and packs. But at the moment, it's just not enough. It's really just not enough in my mind and that's why we're seeing some of this stuff drop. I want you to come with me over to a tweet that I tweeted out today. I want to reference this for a moment. I tweeted this out lightning rounds, right? Because lightning rounds are supposed to be fast. I was kind of making a joke at EA here. I said lightning rounds still 35,000 of the 125K packs remaining after 45 minutes of this lightning round being opened. Just a testament to how much hype FIFA 20 has right now, which is not a lot, which is not a lot of people that are playing this game at the moment and that's why you're seeing these prices go down just because people are selling things. They're getting their coins. They're just kind of stepping away or they're just not, there's not as many people buying either so that drives cards down when there's less demand on the market. So that's the main reason why I do think you're seeing a lot of people losing interest and seeing things go down on the market. I also think that part of it is due to so many people, I myself included, we thought that mid icon SBC was going to be coming and it has not come yet. And I think that's something for a lot of people that they still think it's coming. I don't know if it is or not. I thought strongly that it was before with everybody else. I'm really not sure now. And I think that mid icon SBC and this Neymar Player of the Month affected the market a little bit as well because so many people went out and they bought SBC fodder. But if we take a look at these SBC fodder cards now, they are cheaper than they have been since like pre-Black Friday prices. Check out Muller. 86s are 13, 12,000 coins. They haven't been 13, 12,000 coins since back here. Since basically Black Friday when we had all these SBCs come out, they have not been above or below 14K since then. And now they're 12, they were 12,000 coins. Some of these guys were even lower than that during lightning rounds today. Look at this, 12K. 12K for Thomas Muller. Why is this happening? Why are the SBC fodders cards so low? 84s are 2.5K, even for the good ones, right? Kepa's 3K. Moutinho's 2.8K is ridiculous. Lukaku with Cardi under 7K is nuts. 87s at like 70. What? Hummel's is 18K. Like this is crazy, crazy prices for these cards. Why are these cards down? Well, this is my thinking. Again, we're not getting good SBC content. Holland is very overpriced. He has a man of the match card in game. Neymar has a left wing. Most people probably wanted him to be a center attacking mid. And a lot of people invested for this SBC. It came out. It's a bit more expensive than what people thought it was going to be and what they wanted. Not as many people are doing that SBC. Other SBCs we have in the game aren't requiring the 87s, the 88s, the 89 rated cards. Even there's just not as much demand for SBCs in general. We get this Lucas Olazac card today. Forgive me if you're a, you're a Gwiant or a Celtavigo fan. I do not know who this guy is. You know what? It's a solid card. It's okay. But why are we requiring an 84 and an 85 rated squad for this? When this is the type of SBC that during that first week of headliners, when we had the Tammy Abraham and when we had the Chris Smalling, this type of SBC would have required an 84 rated squad and that's it. We're in 83 with an inform. This would be like a 40, 50,000 coin SBC that people would go out and do and be like, yo, that's actually kind of a dope card. Let me go do it. You know, you get a lot more interaction, EA, you get a lot more interaction on stuff in the game when it's affordable for the masses, right? This is the type of SBC that probably nobody's going to do unless it's cheap, right? You made it however many coins it is. What does this SBC cost you? 112,000 coins, even with how cheap 84s and 85s are right now. Still, people aren't going to do that SBC because it doesn't fit this stage of the game in my opinion. Now, of course, we do have a couple of decent objectives. Icon swaps. I mean, I think people have basically forgotten about icon swaps. Who's doing that right now? Please tell me that you're not because this has been icon swap set two has been absolutely awful. That doesn't help. At least we got this Acunia. But now people are saying, yo, why are you re-releasing? Acunia already has other special cards in this game. Why couldn't you pick someone else? Well, they're trying to pick people that they think are going to be useful and used in the game and they want to try to make you, you know, they want you to be on their game more, right? So if you wanted an Acunia card, if you're a die hard Argentine or like a sporting fan or, you know, Central America, South America, like Guru, right? Those are the cards that you want to get on FIFA. If you want to get yourself the Acunia, right? You've got the one from the League SBC, from the League of Nose, the SBC, you've got that Acunia. And now you have this doctor. They just, they're trying to get people that want those cards to, you know, forget about the other one and have to go get the new one, right? That's why we see all these promo cards. And I talk about this all the time. That's why we see all these new promo cards that come out in the game is because they want people constantly upgrading and constantly changing their focus on this game to different cards, to the new and like in style content that they keep releasing. Why do they do that? Because that makes people lose coins and also spend more time on their game because they're having to go grind an objective. They're on the game. They're staying involved with the game, doing stuff. And that earns EA money in the long run because they become more attached and they open FIFA points, right? That's the whole end goal is they can open FIFA points on this game and then EA gets more money from it. So that's why you see that. And a lot of people also ask, why are they reusing promo players? Well, again, they're using hype players that people want to use. And again, that's kind of the whole replacing that car that you have here with the next, that better one. And then you have to go grind to get that one because you want to have the best ultimate team, right? That's the whole goal. You want to have the best ultimate team that you can have with your favorite players or players that you want to use. So that's the whole point of them re-releasing cards with new people, with the same people and not doing new cards and new faces that they could easily do in this game of FIFA. So that's kind of my thoughts on that. But again, a lot of this market is going down because people are also losing coins right now at the very same time. People are also losing a lot of coins. All the people that invested in fodder, right? All of you guys that bought Tiago Silvas. Now, for my guys that bought this stuff and they have it stored in their club, you don't need to panic, right? When you do a club stock, Tiago Silvas 20K, I was fine with buying him at like 21 to 22K before this kind of drop in the SBC market happened because we're not getting any SBCs. For the guys that did a club stock like I did, I still have all of my 89s through 85s basically in my club. I'm just not worried about losing coins on them because I just club stocked them, right? They were low. They're even lowering out, but that's fine. I club stocked. They're going to return back to a higher price at some point because of SBCs. Even though I bought these 86s at 14,000 coins, I bought a Mobile at 14,000 coins and now they're definitely cheaper than that. That is okay because it's a club stock and it's more like a, you know, like, if you guys know what bonds are, like a bond, that's kind of an investment that's more long term with less risk, right? We used to think of discard inform investing in FIFA as like a bond or like a longer term investment, right? Because you put one in the club, you wait for it to go up. SBCs over the course of a couple of weeks, make it rise, right? That's the same thing that we're doing here with these club stocks. So if you did a club stock, GGs, if you're unassigned, that's where the issue is and that's again why you're seeing some of these cards drop in prices because people went unassigned on these and they want to play the game and actually do things and in order to do that, they can't be unassigned. If they want to go buy a card to try it, they can't be unassigned with 1,084 rated cards. So what do they have to do? They have to go filter through those cards and sell them all. That's also increasing the supply of these cards in the game and making their prices lower. 87 Tiago is 18K, this is nuts. These cards are so cheap, it's crazy. If you haven't done a club stock, please do. If you do not have any cards that are 83 to 89 rated in your club, please take a moment, go through, fill up your club. If you have the necessary funds, I'm talking, you can do this with like 100K, 200K, 300K. That's all the coins that you need to do a club stock. 83 is under 1,000 coins for some of the good ones too. Kramerich 1K, Rodrigo 1K, Banega 1K, Ilaramendi 1K, 82, 84 is all this stuff is just really, really cheap. So if you don't have a club stock, I highly recommend getting on that. Cavani is at 24K, again, look at some of the cheapest for their rating and some of these PSG guys like Cavani and Tiago Silva that people bought and they invested in for Neymar's SBC and that SBC came out and it's just too much. So that's why I think a lot of this market is down. How is EA gonna revive the market? I mean, they're gonna have to put out more content to bring people on this game, but that's gonna only inflate like the SBC content that they're putting out probably. At least, you know what? A couple things that EA has done really well in this last couple of days, in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of this ShapeShifter's loan player. Can I do this right now, actually? I'm a huge fan of this SBC. This is cool, right? We need eight gold players, 73 rating and 60 chemistry. Interesting, all right? I'm gonna do this right now with like, let's say, can I do players from like Serial or something? Do I have any like low rates from the Serial that I can throw into this? Because this is a GGSBC that we can just go out and do and have some fun with and you get to try a card out in this game. And that's why I think that it's fun and that's why I think that this is a good move by EA Sports here, is that we just get a cool SBC where we can go try cards out and you don't have to do much for it, right? I'm turning in the 73 rated twi. I'm just gonna turn in some of these golds. I will gladly turn in some of these gold cards to go try out some new players, all right? Not an issue, not a problem. Let me go turn in Des Mali. Yo, Rente, former Spurs man. And let me just go fill up with Bundesliga as well. I fill up the squad with some of the Bundesliga golds and we'll call it good there. Right wing, center back. Let's go with a goalkeeper. Yes, and yes, that should be good. But this is the type of stuff that I like, right? Loan stuff. We don't get a lot of loan cards from EA saying, hey, here's an opportunity to try out some of the new cards that just came out in this game. Go for it. This is not really stuff that we get that often. So this, this is awesome. I think this is cool. It's a step in the right direction. We should get these like every promo, please, EA. That'd be kind of cool. And who am I gonna get as a loan shapeshift player? I'm gonna get to try, ooh. You know what? I'm gonna try Lucas Mora because that's somebody that wanna try for my team, right? I'm interested in this card. Now I get a chance to use him as a loan player. So again, I rate that from EA there. But again, this market has been dropping this whole week. If you've been watching icon moments prices, these cards are very, very good to trade with. They fluctuate a ton in price, which makes them very good to play with, to trade with. And they're still new, right? They're still pretty new on this game. They have a decent amount of hype because people are trying them out. Again, they have new and upgraded stats. So that's why you see me looking at these cards so often. Like this Ian Wright has been 1.15 mil all day. Now he's not selling for 1.056. Ronaldinho went for 1.1 there. Some of these cards still contain some hype and some demand. That's a very, very cheap price for Carlos Alberto. 1.02 mil. This guy was like 1.6, 1.7 until Prime Icon moments came out. That is cheap, man. So again, a lot of this stuff is dropping on the market. If you're packing any of these new shape shifter players, I do think these are gonna drop down in the coming days. Again, because I just don't see a lot of content coming this week, it's gonna revive or rejuvenate the market anyway. I just see things going down a little bit more and continuing going down. So one last tip with these. If you want to trade with these from Saturday night into Sunday, we can talk a little bit more trading things now. We've talked about how EA has been a disappointment enough, right? We talk about that all day or every day anyway. So I'm really interested in this Mara's card. I just shouted this on the Twitch livestream that I was just live on, twitch.tv backslash of foot account. Check that down below if you want to catch me live streaming. This guy was like over 400,000 coins all day, right? He was 413 last night. He went up to 437 during the morning, during the day, dropped back down after lighting rounds, 389. So he was 400k for most of the day, right? And he's dropped down in the past couple hours. He was actually just 350 for a moment. Some of these cards have dropped a decent amount in the last few hours, which is making me interested and possibly flipping them into the morning. Now, yesterday, there was only like one or two cards that actually moved overnight. A tall went from 500k to about, I think he went up to like 540,000 coins. So there was some flip opportunity and flip potential with that. I do think this card will rise back up again, but I want to see like 475 for this because then if he goes back to 500k, you'll be at least breaking even. And I do think he does that. Definitely has the possibility to go back over 500k. You can check his supply at 520k. He's got how much? He's got two pages at 470. That's a nice little undercut right there. So let's see if this stays up on the market for a little bit. That kind of card right there, I would be, if I could buy that card, I would. I would buy that for 470 outright right now. I do think he'll be back over 500k in the morning because this is one of the most hyped up cards out of this new set. Any other ones that could be good flips, I think Mahrez, Atal, maybe Mertens if he gets low enough and Warren Babu. These cards, they didn't fluctuate that much yesterday so I wouldn't expect them to fluctuate that much into the morning today for a big ball's flip if you guys are into those. But again, the icon moments, I have been trading a ton with these. This Linnaker I got at 1.3 mil. This Akocha I got at 1.1 mil. I made 500,000 coins between these two cards alone today. Mental flips there. I made like 10k on this, 10k on this, 50k on that, and then another like 10k on this. So some of the flips don't pan out like you really think they will. I thought I was going to be able to sell this for like a 1.5 mil. He's been under 1.5 all day so I took the coins at 1.48. But I've made a really solid amount of coins today with these. If I get this sale at 1.6 and if I get this sale at 1.3 then I will be closing in on quite frankly like 750,000 coins. Maybe even 800k inching towards a mil if I can get one or two more flips tonight with IKON moments literally in one day. And it doesn't help that they reset the transfer profit on Saturdays so I can't technically show you that I flipped these cards on one day. But 482,000 TP literally on the day. It's a really, really good day of IKON trading. I made a lot of coins today. The monthly as well is looking pretty solid, 4.8. So we're doing well in the month. We are feeling pretty well on the month. I'm happy for how we're doing with trading. And again, if you guys are trading on a lower budget I know not a lot of you guys have a ton of ton of coins. This is something I want you to look at. And I did this with the earlier promo teams. I did this with Future Stars and it was very, very, very profitable. Look at the new promo team cards like Ronaldo Sanchez is 60,000 coins right now, right? Is he 60k? I'm going to make sure you do the left back position because that way I can sort through his card. Left back position on Ronaldo Sanchez. He is basically 60,000 coins a bit under right now in the market, right? 59,000 coins. Ronaldo Sanchez, right? No chem style right here. 55k. GG's. Maybe I should buy that one. But the shadow and the hunter chemistry style trading with these new promo cards is very profitable as well. Somebody who's trying out Ronaldo Sanchez might throw a shadow on him and they might list them up for, you know, 65k because they think, okay, he's got a shadow on him so he'll sell for a little bit more than his buy now price. When actually I can confirm that Ronaldo Sanchez sold at 74,000 coins today with a shadow. So right now he's at 75, I would expect that to sell. And that's definitely some opportunity for some profit. Condogbia as well. You want to focus on the lower level players when you're doing this because it gives you more of an opportunity to pack or to see that card pop up, right? Condogbia with a shadow right now is 155,160. There's a bid on this one at 150. I flipped one today. Earlier today, it's on my transfer list though. I flipped one from 163 to 173 I think. So it wasn't much profit but I was just kind of doing it to show the stream that it worked and he's actually, he's down a decent amount. So this might be as the cards drop in price a little bit. You can see that Condogbia is down to 145k is his lowest buy now. 155 with the shadow chemistry style. That's something that you can look out for. Ooh, 140, 139. Okay, he's dropped a decent amount. So just watch these cards and trade with the chemistry styles on them. The ones that you're going to want to trade with are going to be the most hyped up ones, of course. And you can still do this with some of the other cards. I used Max Aarons was the man that I did this with a ton back during Future Stars. How much is Max Aarons right now? Max Aarons is 102,000 coins. What is he with a shadow? Again, this is an English special right back card. He's 115 with a shadow. So all you need is somebody to be done with their week and leak. They list up a Max Aarons at 105,000 coins or 103,000 coins as one of the cheapest on the market. And then boom, you know, they can sell like 110 and 115. It works with hunters as well, right? Musa Dembele, the French striker that got a Future Star. I did this with him a bunch during the Future Star promo. Catch him with a hunter. How much do you go for with a hunter? He goes for 103,000 with a hunter. What does he go for without the hunter chem style? I think it's like 90. So he goes for basically 10,000 coins more with the hunter. Right? Never mind. What the heck? He's 95,000. So like 8,000 more with the hunter chem style. Somebody done with their week and leak. Boom. They list Dembele at 95,000 with a hunter. Boom. You snatch him. You can sell him for just over 100,000. You make a couple thousand coins a card and you can repeat that over and over and over to make some profit on cards like that. So I do have these Clivert and the Vanessa Roy. All right. There's a listing. There's an undercard right there, 1578. So I bought this card. I bought my card at 1.45. So I'm still looking pretty good for this flip. I'm going to drop it down to 1570 and see if I can get a sale there. If it doesn't sell now, I'll get a sale overnight. So I'm going to try flipping this one Mars as well, unless I get another icon to sell. I'm going to try to flip this Mars at 400K in the morning. I know some of you guys are joining me with that. If you are GGs, GLs as well. Hopefully we can all flip those cards up into the morning. So yeah, I just want to talk about the market today, kind of where it's trending, what's been going on, why you're seeing prices go down. I just think it's people disconnecting from FIFA, honestly because the content has been so promo every Friday, promo every Friday, promo every Friday with lighting rounds with lighting rounds with lighting rounds and just not enough supplementary content to just like keep people involved in the game with SBCs, with objectives. No, they've been okay. We've got some content, but just hasn't been great. It hasn't been what people are looking for, right? So it doesn't bring people onto the game. So that's my thought and that kind of stuff. Have a happy Sunday. You guys are out there trading, finishing your week and week GLs. We have a possibility of a messy inform this week. Messy should be in team of the week and he possibly could be getting another play of the month. So that'll be stuff that we talk about in the future as well as the month ends.
