 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. the foot account, and welcome back to the channel. The SBC is finally here, guys, and it is time to start crafting. That is, if you're undertaking the massive grind that that Ronaldinho SBC does require, we're going to break down the SBC today in this video to start off a brand new week on a Monday where we're ending the Goazo promo, we're looking ahead into maybe team of the season and all of that fear of team of the season, the anticipation of it rather is starting to crash the market even more. Guys, this market is beyond mudded. There's something that happened yesterday that is honestly like historic for this game in terms of prices not moving when you actually thought that they would have. So we're going to talk a lot about the menus today to start off this week on a Monday. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up and subscribe if you're new. Now, before we talk about Ronaldinho, the big SBC that is sweeping across this game in terms of hype, we got to talk about not one, but two player picks that EA dropped. I asked EA to surprise us. I didn't expect they would put out both the Encore icon and the Encore hero player picks. We have them both. It's nice to have options. We'll say it that way, right? The Encore icon player pick is the exact same one that was expiring yesterday on Sunday. They basically just refreshed the SBC 87, 87, 88 rated squads. Nothing too fancy there. The same icons are packable from it and it's still a one of three. Now, we go to the hero player pick, which is basically also one of three. UCL triple threat and fantasy heroes inside of it. I like the fantasies are included. It's also 88 plus. It's repeatable twice, which maybe kind of answers the question that I have about this SBC. I'm surprised when I go and look at the foot bin upvotes and downvotes that this SBC is 57% upvoted for the hero player pick. I mean, personally speaking, yes, I know that it's cheaper. It's only 85, 86, 87 to get done and the Encore icon is more expensive. But I don't know about you guys, man. I just think that the icon player picks this year are they just give you the chance of hitting something so much better than a hero player pick. So I know the Encore icon is more expensive. I think I'm going to do this one instead of doing the hero player pick. But since the hero player pick is cheaper and, you know, you could pack some of those fantasies in there. I totally understand why you would want to go ahead and send it. But we also have the regular hero Encore upgrade pack that is out that is a decent amount cheaper, but of course has the basis in it. So there is a palethora of upgrade packs right now in this game. And it's going to bring us to a massive point that I think is astonishing about the current state of this game, to be completely honest. It's just wild, all these upgrades that are out right now. But that's kind of it, right? I mean, let's be honest, guys. These we know what's come with these. The Encore hero player pick is the newest one. This is definitely hype. Like it's definitely draining coins from the market. Yesterday is was a massive day of coins being drained. Deeno, the Encore icon and the Encore hero coins were being drained and the market felt it big time. Now, let's talk about the biggest SBC, the one that everybody's talking about, the craft, right? The craft, the grind on this game right now is going after Ronald Deeno. Now, you might be like, Nate, what are you talking about, bro? I'm not doing this SBC. It's too expensive. I agree with you. But guys, if we were kind of shouting this SBC, definitely going to be 2 million coins plus. And I even tweeted out yesterday, I thought the SBC was going to be 2.2 mil and that is actually coming in at the price of what it actually is, 18 squads for Deeno, 490 rated squads inside of the SBC. Wow. Four of them. That's crazy. His car to the market is now 1.6 million coins. So you tell me if people are not doing this SBC because it's too expensive. I mean, guys, his price is down even further because the fact that he has an SBC out and is a player like Ronald Deeno, this is a one where the cost kind of just, especially if you're playing this game for the vibes and playing this game to have the most fun as you possibly can. And if Ronald Deeno is a player that you would have never dreamt to have packed or somebody that you have never dreamt of using, but now you have the opportunity to use, this is the SBC that you just do because it's Ronald Deeno. It's kind of again, comparable to like a player of the month in Bape or something like that where it's a player of such a high caliber and such. I know people use the word aura a lot, right? Such aura that in nostalgia as well, that you just kind of have to get it done. And that is what this SBC is here for. This SBC is not here for good value. This SBC is not here even for the most meta player in the game. I'll say it that way. It's still Ronald Deeno guys, but he only has Trickster Plus, which like, that's the second worst playstyle plus in the game behind Flare in my opinion, but he's got Trevella. He's got technical and it's just Ronald Deeno. He's five star four star. He's Deeno. He's got the Deeno body type in game. He's got the ponytail. He's got whatever you want, whatever you need out of Ronald Deeno. He's got it, right? That's why this SBC has so much hype, even though it is coming in at a mean 600,000 coins above market value. Now, here's the thing. I have news, this Ronald Deeno card is going to get cheaper than ever. So right now, if you're like me and you're like, Nate, there are so many SBCs out, I don't know what to craft, but I got to craft something because I'm running out of fodder, which is how I feel. If I really want to use Deeno with my coin balance, I might just go buy the card because he's going to, you know, take a lot less if you just go buy the card, if you have those coins. Now, if you don't have the coins, but you have time and you have the desire to grind, there's really, there's not very many times better than right now to go and craft a Deeno with all the upgrade packs that route with all the packs and objectives that are out as well. And I hate to mention it, but the store packs as well, all the fodder that is available there, even if you're opening with coins, which I don't recommend doing because that drains your club a lot of coins, like there is fodder everywhere in this game. And once again, that is why the DMSBC is priced where it is right 2.2 million coins. It's only 14% upvoted. But I think a lot more people are doing it than the 14% would suggest because people see Ronaldinho and they complete. So I think that lays it out perfectly. And we kind of started talking about the DMSBC if before it was dropped, it was officially again leaked yesterday before content finally, but we kind of knew that it was coming beforehand. So and the position that I'm in right now, as I mentioned is guys, I don't know what to craft like I just did an SBC here, we're going to open a player pick here in a second, because I had the first squad completed. It's the 88 plus campaign player pick. I've got so many high ratings in my club because I have not been kind of chasing, crafting, like making an SBC recently. And I feel like I want something to kind of grind and craft towards, but I don't know where to set my sights. I don't know where to basically commit is where I'm being honest. You've got ribbery, you've got me a ham, you've got Carlos Socrates, even Yashin is still decent and now especially with the Ronaldinho card, you've got so many opportunities to sink your fodder into something. Now the thing for me is if I'm doing Ronaldinho, then if I'm doing a squad or an SBC with 18 squads, I'm going to feel like I have to use this guy in my team for a long time, if I'm putting that much work into the card, right? The last big SBC of like a ton of amount of squads that I did was probably Player The Month in Bopay. And it just felt like it was a long grind. Yes, he was in my team for hundreds and hundreds of games, so it made it worth it. Now for me, I'm not sure where to go with this because I packed Ronaldinho Prime last year and he was so fun to use. Like when I mean so fun, like he was insane. He's he plays better than his stats, as people always say, like he was starting above some of the cards that I got in like footies. And at the end of the season, I packed this Dinho and he was making it into my team. Now this year with playstyle pluses, I think I really value those playstyle pluses. So maybe he doesn't get into the team, but it's still a card that I have not used this year and I would only dreamt of using, but same thing for Mia Ham. So being from the USA, I have a tough choice to make. I really do want to do Mia Ham because I hear her card is absolutely freaking nuts and I used Dinho last year. So I might go for Mia Ham this year just because she's brand new, haven't used her card at all. And I hear she's insane and maybe a little bit cheaper than Dinho would help myself out in that category as well. So I feel like a lot of you guys might be in the same situation though. And the other thing I would tell you is be careful with how much you craft and be careful with your fodder right now. Because EA's whole goal of dropping all of these SBCs right now at this moment is to, yes, number one, put a bunch of SBCs out that can be crafted during teamings using the upcoming promo, but that's just the thing. Don't spend too many coins specifically. You can spend all the fodder you want because fodder is like limitless and endless on this game, especially, you know, through objectives and everything, right? 80 plus player picks, 81 plus player picks, all that, 84 sevens, it's endless. You can spend the fodder, but just be careful with your coins because this is a place where you could get in trouble before one of the biggest promos of the year. If you're submitting too many coins and buying too many cards and lowering your club's worth by buying players off the market to put into SBCs, which give you untratable cards out of it, you're going to devalue your club before a time of the year where you're going to want to have fodder, which is a team of the season, you're going to want to have fodder guys. I know that's two weeks away or something like that, but it is worth saying because being a little bit more stingy, if you will, and careful right now will help you loads during team of the season when cards maybe are going to be coming out with not one, not two, but three play style pluses and that's going to change the game all over once again. So that is one thing I have to mention. And I want to open this 88 plus campaign player pick as well right now because I had one squad done of this. Oh, Oh, Orin James or Geese. Oh, OK, what's the skill move week foot here for five. This card looks insane after its latest boost power shot dead ball plus whipped past technical 91 rated Lauren James has got the skills. Oh, I never used Lauren James when she was out during the beginning of the Future Stars promo. I think I'm going to go with Geese here. They both look like really good cards, but Geese is definitely clear in terms of market value. She is 450 K. Wow. All right. I'm going to go with Geese. I don't even know if she's still live or not, but I'm going to go with that card because that card looks cracked Lauren James looks good as well. You know what? While we're here, let's open 84 times seven. This is one of my eighty four sevens from Saturday. I never even opened it. I left it there. This level member when level was like and everybody's packs because of foot birthday. I wish this was a foot birthday level. They would be higher rated, but unfortunately it is not. It is eighty seven only one walk out and the rest eighty fours. OK, that's it for the packs for right now. Let's get back to business because there's a lot more to discuss. Guys, yesterday with Ronaldinho and all of the hero and the icon player picks that were dropped, you would have thought, oh, wow, that's a lot of SBC demand, right? I'm sure prices are crashing on the market and I'm sure fodder is going up, right? You'd only be halfway correct in that statement. That's how it normally works. Prices crash. People are going and buying cards to buy fodder to do these SBCs, which brings fodder prices up and the rest of the market down. Fodder has barely even moved. This market is so cooked that fodder on a day where a Ronaldinho and icon and a hero player pick all release fodder literally didn't move. I know they're running the lighting rounds, but that's not it. Like that is not it. Everybody just has this stuff. And I say it doesn't it didn't move. And then I look at Luca Marges graph and he went from nine K to 10 K, but he's back down at ninety five hundred. To me, like fodder moving is like, remember when eighty eights earlier earlier on in the year went from like, you know, a couple times and went from seventeen K up to about twenty. We had a couple of crazy spikes at different points of the year. Even for like the higher rated cards, like eighty nine's. Everyone eighty nine's went from like thirty K and they used to be like thirty thousand coins. Then they go up to like thirty eight K thirty thousand to thirty eight K. That's what I call a swing or a fluctuation in terms of a fodder price from nine K to ten K on eighty seven. That's not really fodder moving. That's a very small movement for all the demand that we had via the SBCs yesterday. I even look at nineties. There's still twenty five thousand coins. I look at ninety ones. I bought some KDBs for thirty three thousand coins and the bro is only thirty five thousand coins after a deal got released with four ninety rated squads. It is crazy how little fodder goes up on this game anymore because of how supplied it is and how many in terms of the quantity of those higher rated cards that we have. If you take a look at some of the cheapest eighty eight and above rated cards in the game. It's all promo cards. Little bro Harry Kuehl. Little bro Robbie Keane. They are some of the cheapest cards on this game right now for their rating because they're just so supplied. It has to do with the promos that we're in right now for sure. But it also just has to do with how many packs have been released and at the astonishing rate that they continue to be released and how accessible fodder is to us untradable. All of those things combined and put together just makes fodder on this market kind of like uninvestable like I know that I invested and I told you guys right. I showed you my transfer list on Friday night. I think it was. I bought some Kevin De Bruyne's and like 33 K. But I'm glad that I didn't buy too many. I will lazy list these KTVs up for maybe like thirty eight thirty nine thousand coins. And I'll hope that he rises a little bit as people get the DMSBC done and maybe crafting over the next couple of days. But guys just taking a step back and looking at how many freaking SBCs are here in this game with upgrade packs and player picks and then of course all the icons you would expect fodder to be to the moon right now. But you have found a magical concoction with supplying fodder so much that it doesn't go up on this game when all this demand is also there to seemingly offset the supply. There is still so much supply that it is giving out all the time. It just doesn't move. So I had to point that out because it's just honestly insane. Like investing in fodder really has not been a good play except for team of the weeks. That's the only caveat. Team of the weeks have been really good to invest in multiple points this year. But besides those fodder has not been very good to invest in post team of the year to be completely honest free team of the year. We're going to have to remember all this stuff for next year in FC twenty five. I can't imagine the game being a whole lot different fodder will be great first half of the year. Second half of the year. Absolute cheeks. So that's something to kind of just remember and maybe even during the team of the season. I bet during team of the season fodder does do better. I will say that I bet fodder does better during tots because during the big promos this year think back to the Thunderstruck promo think to team of the year like fodder did go up team of the year fodder was the highest that it had been like all year. Remember eighty nine's like 40 something thousand coins. It's going to happen again during team of the season. Some of this fodder is probably going to go up because there's going to be a lot of hype on the game. A lot of people on the game and a lot of SBCs to be crafting. So that's something to watch in the next couple of weeks. But for right now fodder is mudded. It's low and it's probably going to stay low especially because they keep running all the big store packs. Now the other part of the market is being impacted is people are still selling cards to go either try the new stuff that is out a.k.a. the Galazos or selling cards to go afford to buy that fodder that they need to complete the SBCs. And we talked about the market crashing in yesterday's video as well. It's down even more. I mean who's surprised though with all the content that we had yesterday. I still cannot believe that this car is three hundred thousand coins. It amazes me. He's just supplied so much on the market. Right. It's crazy. Park G song four hundred. I just bought him for four hundred and fifty K. This jersey no cards three point five mill Carlos six hundred and six K. And with these prices being as cheap as they are. And also with the kind of rumors and the tweets like this tweet right here talking about team of the season content starting next week. Like that is getting people thinking about team of the season more and more. Which isn't in the flip side of things making people want to buy cards off the market less and less and less which means you have less demand less cards going to these sorts of coins less coins going to these sorts of cards. I said that backwards and people just saying yo I'm going to stick with my intradable side for now I'm not going to buy so prices continue to tank. Here's an example of people panic selling for a team of the season BVD twelve point four mill down four million coins in one day. Hate to be the guy that had him here and sold him here. That's a tough look right. He's down to eight million coins guys and this guy was extinct at 16 or sorry 15 mill for basically half the entire time that he has been out in packs. It's not even just team of the years. Look at this Phil Foden 750 K. Phil Foden yesterday was nine hundred and seventy seven thousand coins. It is a total complete market reset and it's still going on. This Salah card was one point or sorry he was three point five mill just a couple of days ago. He's down horrendous this young was a million. I mean right now on this game guys I would be very very careful buying any cards. I'd be very very careful buying anything especially if it's more of an expensive more of a top tier card. You're still going to be able to make quick flips you're still going to be able to trade with some of these cards that are down bad. But for the most part the middle the top tier of the market is just going to continue to be cooked and you'll be able to get sales but it'll be tougher because more and more people are looking in different areas. Now as I say this I'm literally bidding on a Darwin Nunez wrote to the final card because this is a live item right and live items still potential to upgrade. They're still hyped there. Now I'm going to try to not lose this bid here while we're on the video because this Darwin Nunez is usually around one point three million coins. I bet he dropped off some yesterday. How low did he go one point two six. Okay we're going to slap a bid on here. Hopefully it works out one two one one seven seven but I'm not going to send this whole video and bid I'll just a bid up to like one point one nine. Okay this is actually you know what one point two I'm comfortable paying one two that's a live card. I mean yeah the United game yesterday they didn't get three points but you know there's Europa League there's conference league and of course Champions League this week. So that's something to watch out with there's cards there that could have some positive movements. I think I can sell this for like one point three five which is why I'm paying all the way up to one point two am I going to win that. All right this is my final offer here one point 207 no frills attached. That's my final offer take it or leave it on the market. All right so be careful with what you're trading with. Here's a good tip. I got out bid I love that. Here's a good tip guys trade with the lower budget stuff this Robbie King card thirty nine. I don't know why this guy's thirty nine thousand coins this might be one of the best most high budget strikers first card for him on the entire year and is this incredible statistically boosted Premier League linking Robbie King and he's only forty thousand coins. It's crazy I'm going to try to trade with the lower tier of stuff in the next couple of days just until I get a feel or more so of a feel for the market this guy's forty thousand man I picked up a couple of him on snipe for thirty nine because I was like yeah that's too cheap like can I get this one here for like thirty thirty eight seven fifty I would drop the bid walk away hopefully win the card thirty six K thirty seven K like that's the type of stuff that I'll be trading with a little bit more is the lower tier lower budget because I think you'll have the more opportunity for sales there and you'll have less coin losses because obviously the cards are just a lot cheaper you're not going to lose as much on tax even with the cards probably like they will drop a little bit you're not going to lose as much because it's only a forty K card versus somebody who is you know millions and millions of coins so I don't win that Darwin Nunez but that is okay. We will live to see another day and we will live to flip another Darwin Nunez. I did buy some Harry Kuhls and we're talking about go lasso cards man these cards dropped off so much yesterday I think they dropped off a bit too much. This Desai card I almost promised myself that I would buy Desai and he's now three hundred thousand coins like basically flat. Park Ji Sung is four sixty I bought one at four fifty so like you know last Monday these go lasso icons from team one did very very good. I'm hoping that team two can do decent today too I'm not expecting it though like this Desai seems way too cheap. I'm probably only going to buy one or two though. I have a bunch of Harry Kuhls that I bought under two hundred thousand coins and he's like two hundred twenty K. So I'm probably just going to maybe snag one or two of these if I can for like three oh five and then we'll just risk it there. Some of the rest of this team could bounce back up a bit today Park Ji Sung Biddich Roberto Carlos DDA Drogba Cordoba there are there's a lot of people that want to try out these cards and especially because they're really cheap. So that's something to kind of keep an eye on as we head into Monday today as well but let's stop talking market for a second. Let's talk content content today on Monday. How is he going to let us start off the week. Well the world today is starting us off with a total solar eclipse. So that's going to be fun. I'm in like the path of totality or something like that. So yeah the stream might end a little bit early today so I can go outside and look up at the sun and see something that is only going to happen in the next four hundred years one more time or something like that. So yeah that's pretty cool. That's not any sort of content. That's just something I thought of and I'm wearing glasses at the moment and my mind is all over the place because I'm tired and it's time to go to bed. Anyways let's talk about Monday contents coming today. We really don't have any leaks and I'm still completely fine with that. I'm fine for a little bit of a surprise situation. There's only one player that has been talked about and mentioned that hasn't been dropped and that is Nakata and we have no Nakata yet here in this game. So I don't know where he's going to drop. I'm a guessing it would be an SBC and I'm also guessing that it could be today or tomorrow. If I had to guess that's when it would be. So I'll be watching out for that. We still haven't seen him yet. It wasn't the mini release. So that's a question mark that I have. But Mondays haven't been that crazy recently. I don't think there's any SBC is expiring today except for our beloved 81 plus player pick. Now EA there's been some surprises recently. OK. Don't surprise us with this one. Please release the 80 plus player pick. Right. We had the 80 and 81 plus. They've been overlapping. They've been flip flopping basically every single week. Hit us with that 80 plus. Get us back with the only six golds required. All right. We have the 81 plus double upgrade that is out but still that is not 100 percent good enough. We need yes it is a need not a want it is a need the 80 plus player pick to continue the crafting as good as it is on this game. If they don't bring back an 80 or 81 plus player pick today guys it's actually going to be painful. It's going to hurt the menu crafting a lot. So we need that 100 percent to keep the crafting up on this game. The crafting upgrade. I just don't think it's it for me man. I'm not going to be able to get 150 of those done in a couple of days anyway. And the 81 double just requires too many players for it to be worth it compared to the player pick. So that's just my take there. But I hope the 80 plus is released today kind of has they've been doing every single Monday. And then other than that it's just going to be a refresh day right. The refresh of the eighty four times seven. I don't know if there's anything else that's refreshing today. The campaign pick maybe refreshes that I just saw there it goes away tomorrow. But I would expect potentially a player SPC today and then the 80 plus player picks returning maybe an evil. I don't know if there's any evils that are expiring today but since we've already had a couple of evils we had the atomic ace of course. Let's see are there any evils that are expiring that I need to get done four days four days. OK so we have a couple more days left on some of these ultimate birthday evils which I really need to start working on Alessandrini here to get that done. So maybe it's a good day today to finish off your champs work on some evils and of course craft through the menus. I forgot to mention the store guys there was even more crazy store packs that were dropped yesterday since I opened the three hundred and fifty K pack. I don't think I'm going to spend any more coins in the store man just to be completely honest I got it again as I said before we got to be careful it's kind of that balance got to find the balance between how many coins do you want to spend right now and have fun right now with this promo that is definitely fun but at the same time also think about what is upcoming with team of the season to be like OK I need to reserve some of my coins for what is upcoming. So find that balance with whatever you're trying to craft right now. If you're doing Ronaldinho and if you like deciding to do that or can't know or any other SPC's that route that's fine and Danny go ahead and do it. I know that's giving some people some motivation that they have not had in a while to play this game and to grind the menus like they found some motivation with these SPC's being out and that's amazing and that's great. But again just kind of try to also put things in a perspective about what is upcoming and with team of the season and hopefully we get some more news. There's already been some packs that are added to the code. We're going to start talking about team this season a lot more in the coming days on the videos and stuff like that as we get closer and closer to it. The hype is going to start building up. It's already stirring. That's one way to say it. The hype is already starting to stir on this game for sure. So we will be there for sure for team this season. But for right now it's a good time to craft good time to try to pack icons and heroes in this colossal team to I'm not saving any packs. If you want to start saving go ahead be my guest. But for me right now I am not going to say it because I do think that right now I will probably start getting started on the Mia Ham SPC. I think I've talked myself into that just for the vibes. So we're going to go ahead and start doing that. I need those 80 plus player picks to return today and I got to hit my 84 times sevens. But I will see you guys on the Twitch stream today. Technical difficulty solved. I was having an issue with the camera. I actually put my standing desk up in one of the streams earlier last week and I bent a USB stick that was in the back of my computer. But that has now been replaced and it is fixed. So we are good to go firing all cylinders crispy camera quality. As always. So anyways guys I'm yapping now. Have a great Monday. I will see you guys in the Twitch stream today. That link is down below in the description. I will catch you guys there. If you like the video thumbs up subscribe comment down below if you have any questions as always. I'll see you guys in stream today. It's native account. Catch you guys there. Peace.
