 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Photo Count, and welcome back to the channel. With no loading screen and no news about an upcoming promo on FIFA 23, could we be looking at the first non-promo Friday tomorrow in this year's FIFA Ultimate Team? We haven't had a promo Friday yet, or a promo less Friday yet, should I say, but it looks like tomorrow might be our first one, and that's what we're going to talk about and look at the market a lot today, because if there is going to be a dead Friday in terms of content, we might have some market moves that we could make, especially with some of these out-of-position cards today on Thursday with rivals rewards and marquee matchups pack supply. I also want to take a look at the latest leaks and take a look at SBC fodder and what could happen if there is no promo this weekend, but also a couple SBCs potentially coming soon that could require some fodder. We're going to take a look at all that and of course everything with the market that has been moving with the new team of the week with a couple really crazy boosts they put out in there and some upgrades and some confirmed upgrades for road to the knockout animal ones to watch cards that either happened yesterday or will be happening on Friday. So if you're excited for all that, hit the thumbs up, subscribe if you're new, let's get right into it and talk about what in the world EA is doing with content because this is the time of the year where we would expect this and I mean it's actually perfect timing because EA could quickly whip up a team of the group stage, honestly it might be too short of notice as the group stage games are literally ending today with the Europa League and the conference in games being played final cards are going to be upgraded from RTTK tomorrow, your upgrades are all going to go live tomorrow, but the final cards that are impacted by games are today. But this would have been like the next promo on our minds that could have happened or maybe one of those World Cup promos, but it really seems like EA is trying to pull off and hold back the World Cup hype until we get like right up into the start of the World Cup. I mean we saw the deep dive yesterday, we talked about that a lot in yesterday's video in the past two videos, we even see now the deep dive and all that stuff is like on the front screen of FIFA's and like EA, we always talk about this right when EA change on their Twitter profile, when they change their profile picture and their pin tweet and the heading like they're trying to hype something up and they've got the whole World Cup update stuff right now, just little things like that we notice and we know make a difference in this game and how content goes, but it just seems like either team of the group stage or maybe a World Cup promo would be next, but it also would make sense if EA was like hey guys, we're not going to release a promo this Friday, first Friday of the year with no promo and in doing that what they would do is actually help themselves build the hype and we've talked about this before but it would help them build the hype for the upcoming World Cup content which they've already done a pretty good job of in my opinion, a lot of people including myself are looking forward to this foot content in the World Cup and are really hyped for how sick it could be and we're excited for that but before that happens they want to make you crave it a lot and I think that's what they're going to do in the next couple of days where we are going to see maybe a promo this Friday so that's kind of how things feel and how things honestly look content-wise too without a loading screen that's kind of it's not a dead giveaway but with the way they've been doing things this year like we've said the Wednesday loading screens are the key things to look out for to for them to tease a new and upcoming promo I mean technically there could be a loading screen today but there's no other leaks right and that's the thing if we're a day away from a promo and there's no leaks about it that would be shocking to me if we had a promo tomorrow with how things look right now so that's just something to keep in mind I'm not saying that a promo is out of the realm of possibility it could happen but I think it's not very likely to happen and since it's not very likely to happen of course depending on the content that we get today I want to talk about a little bit of investment potential because what do we know when content is not good on this game cards go up as people still play week in week even though there may be a little bit less demand this weekend because of course the team of the week is not looking near as good and a lot of people are disappointed in how the team of the week looks compared to how it looked in previous weeks man I almost bought money for 380 and this guy just bounced up to 420 Frick anyways this is the best player in team of the week by far this week benton core got a big upgrade but there's just not a lot to play for in this team of the week in terms of reds and rewards if there's nothing in packs people are going to be saving their packs most likely for that world cup drop of content anyways or for the next promo so yes there's going to be weak in the demand but since there's not going to be as much promo demand I do think there's a really good possibility for some of these out of position promo cards to rise up in price it almost feels like the very same scenario that we had when the rule breakers promo started I'm sure you guys remember what happened when rule breakers dropped we had all the road to the knockout cards albeit they were very hyped because they were live items and of course they were really low heading into the rule breakers promo anyway but these guys exploded in price on the Friday of the rule breakers promo now is that exact same thing going to happen with all of the out of position cards this week I'm not saying that it is all I'm saying is watch how low these cards get today this might be a nice little investment potential if you want to try any of them out for your team the cards that are the most like you know in demand from this promo team I would look at guys like Parasich, Rhys James, Fred, Cancelo, Theo Hernandez, Dumfries, Fofana, Berardi, Lucas Vasquez those guys that are in the most hyped cards out of this promo squad I think have potential to rise even in the next like three days over the weekend before any of the World Cup hype and stuff might be happening next week I really do think that these cards have some bounce potential out of packs but again like I said I want to see them drop a little bit more first Rhys James right now is actually kind of low 149,000 coins you take a look at his graph over the past few days you know he's been as low as 155 as high as in the 160s yesterday on Wednesday 148 bounced back to the 150 so some of these guys are at a low ish but what I would want to see today is another like 5% drop or more with supply from rewards or maybe a little bit of panic selling before marquee matchups and the supply from that SBC today because we of course expect marquee matchups every single Thursday and that to me would be a great opportunity to buy in on some of these cards honestly I'm thinking about making the investment myself um and getting involved in some of these because if there's no new promo that comes out what are people going to do they're going to go back out and try some of these cards that are on the market and on the game that they haven't tried out yet so even a guy like Ivan Perisic who of course was 100,000 coins at his absolute lowest point and is now up 30k from that point he's 139,000 coins if Perisic drops down to like 120 today I'm in because this guy was 140 yesterday he's got all the hype in the world the five star week for the four star skills everybody's using this card right now because it's got the hype and it's really really good in game that's the kind of stuff you want to be interested in don't sleep on a guy like doon freeze either with all the Syria hype that we have at the moment um doon freeze card is like one of the best Syria center backs in the game he's been like in the low to mid 80s if this guy would dip below 80k today that's a 5 drop a 6 drop I would be in on a card like this for a potential rise where he could go maybe to 100,000 coins even by like Saturday that's the kind of thing I'm looking for because when we have slow content time on FIFA the cards that go out of packs just rise because people want to try them out they want to use them and there's nothing new there for them to go and do even if there's hype of a world cup promo and stuff like that looming this weekend is too far ahead of time for there to be some true panic at least for the next two days like Friday and into Saturday I think the market will still do decently well unless EA drop a really big SBC tomorrow on a Friday and use that as like a promo content type thing that'd be the only thing that I could really see impacting the market in a negative way over the next couple of days um at this moment with the information that we have released and what I don't expect anything else information wise to be like crazy leaked in the next couple of days either we've got like all the information for the world cup mode just the only thing we don't know is like what will be the first promo of the world cup which of those promo cards that's been released um is going to be the one that's used so that's kind of where I'm at with the market I'm seriously eyeing a lot of these out of position cards as an investment and I think it also would be a great time if you go out and just check the rest of the market maybe if there's rule breakers that are low or RTTKs are a bit of an interesting one of course because we got upgrades for these cards coming on Friday tomorrow but I'm just going to say that if there's low cards on the market I'd be a little a little careful with heroes right because you've got the hero pack that is coming wow yeah Torrey is down I've one two four is that a real price or is that an undercut that's a real price interesting so I did mention this in yesterday's video people of course know that that world cup hype really brings uh wow there's like a bunch of panic selling and rebounding on this yaya right now this is actually kind of crazy so I think this is just the beginning of again what we talked about in yesterday's video where people are maybe starting to sell some of these cards off because they're worried about that hero pack marquicio 700k like yeah he's down a lot too he was in this high heaven 700s for a bit so I would say if these rare hero cards are fluctuating a lot like it looks like they are that could be a great opportunity to trade with them as well you're more expensive you're more rare ones Rudy Volair how much we're looking 594 for him what was he he was okay he hasn't dropped down that much but that's the kind of stuff you could be looking for right now on the market trading with the rare cards they're going to fluctuate and maybe investing in some of these cards that are about to go out of packs with the out of position promo that's where I'd be looking on the market the moment we talked about that enough though let's look at sbc fodder because also we don't have a ton of fodder demand right now but in the next two days a player the month 11 doski and a brand new flashback Higuain have been leaked um and I think one of these two is going to drop the next two days Higuain might be maybe a friday content sbc maybe a today content sbc who knows but I would expect it to be in the next couple of days that if those are the stats it says a prediction but if he's anywhere near this kind of cracked I really hope they give Higuain a dope card to send him off in his FIFA legacy because Higuain has been a pretty nice FIFA card not the most meta but a really nice card that usually gets a couple of specials every year that is just like fun to try out and fun to use and used to have some pretty insane links now he's in the mls so it maybe is not as good but I think in a cardy or sorry not a card that's we had yesterday but the Higuain love could be shown very nicely from ea sports with the w end of an air sbc I kind of hope that's today um two back-to-back days of player sbc's doesn't happen that often in the week but hey who knows so either this today and levadoski tomorrow and friday or maybe that could be swapped who knows but I think 11 doski of course as we talked about in yesterday's video is going to be coming pretty soon as well and uh you know that's a player the month so I think there would be tweets from the La Liga official uh twitter account you'd see some information there like we usually do but is that enough sbc content to make fodder move unless Higuain is dirt cheap and insanely upgraded skill move week foot upgrade that sort of thing I don't think it's going to make fodder move you guys know what makes the sbc fodder move the most and that is those icon hero 85 plus team of the week to upgrade packs right the hype ones that's what makes the fodder move and right now I wouldn't be expecting another one of those most likely until next monday again um for another coin drain opportunity before the world cup mode so if you bought fodder when it was low keep holding because why not these cards are really really low anyways if you bought fodder and you need the coins back then maybe if one of those sbcs come out fodder could go up a little bit and you could sell um I just don't expect fodder to move that much because what demand are we going to have to make it go up so if you bought some keep holding again your time will come that's how it is with fodder you buy you wait it goes up you sell that's the whole point so keep holding on this stuff for sure just again it's unknown how long it might take until we see these cards rise a lot another thing I wanted to talk about really quick in the video is I saw some tweets um earlier this evening uh and it was on companion app I didn't screenshot it myself and I should have but it's actually on the EA like Trello board as well where they post all their issues and they tweet it out from the uh FIFA direct account pretty often uh the players unable to list the 30 items or more on the transfer market has been fixed uh so check your web apps check your companion apps because now you should be able to list the more than 30 items on the transfer market that is nice it took them a long time to fix that um and evidently it was a mistake so it wasn't on purpose a lot of people just thought that hey this was on purpose because uh you know it hasn't been fixed yet and it's something that kind of limits trading and limits the market market a little bit I think people were you know very um I don't know speculative of that but evidently that is not the case and it was a bug and that bug has been patched so there's that uh so if you're a fodder trader slash investor you are loving that for sure now what I want to look at on the market are a couple of upgrades I of course had the retrylison once to watch upgraded that was up yesterday Mané was up because he was in team of the week he got a plus one he's now 91 rated so the retrylison card looks nice of course in my squad w coys and also Anthony I sold my antennas in the hype he went up like 5000 coins or he's 308 right now um which is an 8000 coin rise after his upgrade but the upgrade for this card just looks okay and again it's right now this guy oh is he getting rare at the moment oh he just bounced up a bit kind of getting rare overnight 320 or antennas so he went up a little bit um I think he got like plus two or three pace plus three shooting three passing it was a decent upgrade nothing super crazy though uh and honestly just kind of average and I think that's why he is not exploding that much in price he still needs one more upgrade for this guy let's be honest this guy going to an 86 97 pace maybe 80 shooting and 80 passing would make him look a lot better from a face card stat uh wise than what he is right now so no complaints they're just kind of okay of course as I mentioned we have the acardi SBC and the objectives guys don't sleep on these really I know I'm going to mention this like every single week when they get dropped but do not sleep on these um SBCs and objectives the SBCs maybe you can skip out on if you don't want to turn in the fodder but they're out for like 80 days anyway so you might as well but this stuff is going to be very very helpful when we get icon swaps and maybe even for world cup swaps with some of the requirements that they could potentially have in there of course you think about normal icon swaps you think about some of those off leagues that have requirements for squad battles or for friendlies getting these objectives done if it's a slower week on FIFA in the next couple of days work on these spend the extra time to get the games in play some squad battles I know it's kind of annoying but you'll be glad you did in a month's time or maybe even less when Super League or EFL or air debussy or mls is required for icon swaps and you've got better players and what most people do in your club so I'm saying this and I'm probably going to end up not doing these myself because I just don't like grinding this stuff but if you have the time and you want to do it I think it's a very very good use of your time to get that stuff going so also I believe that the upgrade packs expire today I did my 82 plus player pick on the phone didn't have any good luck with that the 80 plus upgrade basically your last day to try to pack out of position cards if you want to do that and other than that I think it's going to be a day where it might be kind of an L Wednesday unless we get the Higuain card or a Levandoski it's probably just going to be tradable packs applied today with marquee matchups and then potentially a decent amount of people looking in to make an investment for the out of position promo cards so again I would say if there's a lot of people that are looking to invest in out of position promo cards you're going to have to be a bit quick today because people are going to see these cards go down a little bit that's what happens on these kind of non-ten Fridays is people see that the prices are getting kind of low and they drop a little bit and then just people start to buy so if perisic perisic might not even go below that target price I said at like 120k that's something that you wanted to buy like he he seriously might not even go that low 130 might be as low we'll just have to see but this is something we'll just monitor on the market today and keep an eye on because it just seems like a lot of people want these cards for their teams and if there's nothing else to do in feet in the next couple days this will be the types of cards that end up rising in price on the market because of what's going on the game so that's kind of video for your Thursday today if EA surprises with the loading screen they will have a lot to talk about tomorrow but as of right now not looking that likely for a promo Friday on fever 23 the first non-ten Friday of the year might be upon us we'll check in on that tomorrow of course but if you enjoyed today's video smash a thumbs up on
