 Hey guys, this is Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. A lot of stuff happened today in FIFA Ultimate Team, and I want to talk about it with you guys today. Talking about the Bundesliga upgrades, talking about the new LaLiga NOS team in the season, and talking about what is Icon Refresh. There's been stuff being talked about on Twitter, I want to address that today, and basically just cover all the content that came out today because there was a lot of it. There was a lot of stuff in FIFA that came out today, and I want to talk about it, especially starting with these SBCs and how this relates to the market. But this is the first one that I've opened. I'm going to give it a look, and I get an 83-rated Campbell. Okay, so I've not done many of these player picks. I believe Bundesliga rares did not rise much, and this was something I was really watching today because I told you guys the last two days today, I don't feel like a lot of these Bundesliga rares are going to rise up much, and at the moment, it looks like that a lot of them are the same price, or maybe up 100 to 200 coins. So a lot of these guys didn't really rise, which tells me that a lot of people actually invested in these. This guy's right now at 2.1. So you know, some of them have gone up 100 coins, 200 coins, and a lot of them have just stayed the same price because people are trying to sell these and make profit. The people that bought lower are making profit. The people that bought in the last couple days are definitely not making profit. So that's why I told you guys to wait on these. So if you bought early enough, if you bought around 1,000 coins, you're chilling, but the rest of us, if there was any of you out there that bought these at like 1,900, 1,800 coins, I mean, you're really not making anything with these guys going only going up to 2k. At least it wasn't worth your investment basically is what I was saying. So I'm going to do some of these player picks like the Bundesliga ones. Even though I tweeted out today and I really feel like they are not good value, I'm going to be, I'm going to take the hit I guess as you could say, because I need to do upgrade packs during this promo and I watched some people open these today and they're actually pretty decent. I don't know if you guys saw my tweet earlier today, but literally one of my friends sent me this earlier today. Check this out. This is what he sent me, man. He sent me the first upgrade pack that he did, because of course I tweeted out. I was like, yo, these upgrades are not good value. My guy goes, did one upgrade, used a couple 84s and even an 85 Berkey, because that's all I had and he gets 99 Lemondofsky. Crazy. I've seen multiple people pack team of seasons from this SBC pack, which I originally, when I saw this come out today, I was like, yo, we're turning in 11 rare golds for a pick of one, a pick of one. It really does not make any sense. Like from a value standpoint, you're turning in 11 rare golds that go for 2,000 coins a piece. So like 22,000 coins for this pack to get one card in return. It's the biggest scam of an upgrade pack I've ever seen, but they actually give out. So I'm going to try a few of them this week. If they're not that good, I really just want to see the card walk out of the pack, man. I really just want to see that's the second biggest problem I have with this upgrade SBC is that you can't actually watch the card through the pack animation. Like you don't get to see the blue lights, get the, you know, get hype for the nation. All of a sudden you just see the card pop up in front of you. That kills some of the hype in my opinion. But I'm still going to do some things this week. I'm going to probably drop more coins for Thursday when we have the premium Bundesliga upgrades for the 25k pack. I'm really going to save some coins for that because I feel like those are going to be really grindable. And since there's a lot of lower tier cards in the Bundesliga, I feel like I might be able to get some more out of gold upgrades this week than I have in past weeks. So I'm really going to grind on Thursday and try to get a lot of these done since, especially since I don't have rewards. I'm going to try to drop a bunch of coins into these for the Bundesliga Tots cards because I want to get this Tots counter. I'm going to get that sucker above 40, you know, get a chance at Werner, Lewandowski, all those guys. So again, just because this SBC is not good, EA has somehow rigged it or coded it, that it is giving out pretty good players. So I've seen a lot of people tweet out today they're getting good stuff and then it's going to draw people to go and do more of these SBCs for sure. I think you're going to see a lot more people try to go out, get themselves a Halland, a Royce. So I think you're going to see a lot of hype around these even though they seem to be bad value, at least for the first couple of days. I feel like they have enough hype to keep people interested and you're going to see people complete these SBCs throughout the week. The 83 plus, I guess what I would do with the 83 plus is if you're getting some 82s and 83s from the Bundesliga and you're done crafting whatever SBCs you want. I'll say you want to do Coutinho, I'll say you want to do this Luis Diaz that came today or Vitzel if you haven't done him yet. If you're crafting any SBCs, do those first and then maybe you throw your 82s and 83s into this 83 plus upgrade and maybe try one or two of those. I know some people, again, it's kind of like on a per account basis it seems. Some people's accounts are like rigged with the 83 pluses and they give out insane cards and then other people's accounts are really rigged with these. So I would say try your luck, a few of these drop. If you don't have a ton of coins, if you got like 500k, maybe just try like one or two of these and then move on from there and maybe say if you can make 20-30k from trading, allow yourself to do one, something like that. But it was kind of a bummer of an upgrade, but now that we're seeing that these do sort of give out, just test the luck yourself. I'm going to be doing some, especially today on stream and we'll be trying that out for sure. But along with that, that was the big info from today, right? There was a lot of stuff that happened in FIFA today on Monday, to be honest. This was the second biggest thing. Ligonos, team of the season, our boy Alex Tellez was extinct at 550k and I tweeted it out and I was like, hey, another extinct left back at 550k. It wasn't actually extinct for long. He's now 488. But again, these guys have literally the only tradable supply that these guys got today were from whatever promo packs are in the store. No lightning rounds and no tradable SBCs have hit yet. So I would expect a lot of these guys to continue dropping. I feel like since Tellez is already 488, this guy is going to probably be somewhere around the 300k range at some point. A lot of these guys are cheap already, but they're probably going to drop a bit more depending on the rating. 91DS for 53k. That's pretty cheap. Taropt looks pretty dope. So this is like one of the better lower leagues. And I feel like there's some cool cards in here, but nothing like super duper insane. But I think that Tellez, the Taropt, maybe the Rafa and Pizzy were guys, were people that a lot of the community was really pumped with. Even Gabriel and Venetius look pretty dope too. So if you want to get any of these for your team, or if you want to try any of them out, definitely wait until this coming weekend when they get hit with lightning rounds. Kind of like what we saw with the Super League cards that went out of packs today at 6pm UK. These guys, Mariano's already up 5k. Nice. Visca's up a little bit. And Cruz is up a little bit as well. GGs man. So we made some of those buys yesterday. They're already starting to go up a little bit in price. Hopefully let's keep rising if you got in on some of those. But that was basically the content for today on like the player side of things. There was a couple, oh there was an objective as well. There was a Jeremy Mateu objective. And again, I tweeted this out today as well. I said, hey, I feel like the most hyped days on FIFA in team this season. It's Monday, it's Thursday and Friday. Those are like the only hyped days on FIFA now during a normal week. Like the weekends, everybody's just playing footchamps. The content is okay. Maybe we get an SBC on one of the other days. But you know, we have the Monday upgrades. Everybody looks for Thursday rewards and upgrades. I guess the guaranteed SBC, which has some hype in there. But then you have Friday with the new Tot squad, man. It's really just other than those things that are happening during the week, there's just not a ton going on. But today was one of those big days. We got a Mateu objective, which is nice. If you need some French links for maybe your Telez left back that you might get. So that's a decent card. You need to throw a chem style on him to get that pace up. He looks pretty good, except for his jumping, which you maybe don't need because he's six foot two. But also his acceleration is pretty low. I think it's 74 acceleration. So if that's an objective that matters to you, go ahead and grind it. But if it doesn't, I would say maybe just stay away from that. And then also foot drafts have been absolutely juiced because whatever EA did today, and I'm not going to start one up, but a lot of you guys maybe have seen this on Twitter, people have been talking about winter icon refresh, not winter refresh. That was a promo a couple of months ago. Icon refresh. People, some of the leakers on Twitter have been talking about and a lot of guys, like I told you guys to wait on buying your abundance. They get out of pack special cards. I said you to wait. Not because I knew this was coming. I don't have leaks. And I don't know anything about icon SBCs. I don't know what this icon refresh is. But all I know is icons on this game are so highly valued to people in the FIFA community just love icons for, you know, for what they are even right now. And it seems like icons have no hype. Like a lot of these guys, the real Ferdinand dude, this, this real Ferdinand card was 2 billion coins for the longest time. And I'm pretty sure this guy's a mill 1.07. And the prime Rio is 900 K, excuse me, not 900 K 600 K. This dude is 600 500,000 coins, 589 for prime Rio. What the heck? So again, a lot of these cards have dropped off because of team of season cards coming out. And, you know, a lot of people have better stats that are in team of season than these icons do. But I think if they do something this week with icons is going to be game breaking is going to be panic selling across the market. If there is some type of big content, whether it's an SBC, or they put something in packs or whatever they're going to do. If it is icon related, and it's something SBC related, I think you're going to see big time drops on the market because people just love getting icons in their club on this game. You see how many people are willing to do the mid icon SBC just on a whim. People love these icon upgrades. Maybe what's going to come out on this Wednesday is just like a prime icon upgrade mid and a base. I don't know what they're going to do with it. But something supposedly is coming Wednesday with the icons. And that's really all that I know because that's what the people are saying on Twitter. And I feel like I need to talk to you guys about that because that is a big, big thing for this market. Again, icons are very important to this market. And I want you to be careful with your investing. So some of these out of packs Bundesliga cards have gone up already. I told you guys to wait on these. And I think we want to continue waiting until Wednesday because Wednesday, even if these prices are inflated a little bit like Kingsley Coleman, I bought one last night. I did a very small amount of investing. I bought this guy for 109. This guy was 130 at one point earlier today. Right now he's about 120. But people already started buying up these Bundesliga special cards. If there is something that comes out of Wednesday that is big for this game, you're going to see a lot of people panic sell these and go do whatever it is with the icon refresh coming on Wednesday. So what I would say or that is if you're going to wait, if you're going to invest in Bundesliga special cards, I would wait. The only thing I think you might be able to do maybe to prepare for something that is icon SBC related, if that's the way they're going to go with this. Again, I really do not have any idea. The only thing that I would do is maybe do a club stock of the 86, 87, 88, 89, which we talked about on the weekend. These guys are still pretty cheap. But if they do release some big time SBCs, if they bring back icon player SBCs, which they said they weren't going to do, but who knows, maybe just go through and club stock these if you've got a lot of coins, I would say go ahead and do that. If you don't, I would say just chill, just chill, try to make some coins this week. A lot of these cards are fluctuating. These team of the seasons are actually fluctuating a ton every single day. So I'm going to be watching these tonight to see if I can possibly make a flip on any of them. Because even what's from Sunday night squad battles into Monday, a lot of these guys, I'll show you the graph, check this out. Alfonso Davies went from 394 back up to 430. And that's not a crazy amount of profit. Other cards moved more. But that's still a profitable movement, right? So he was up to 430 right now. He's 410. I mean, these guys are going to continue to fluctuate. If you find a guy that drops 15%, maybe 10 to 15%, that's something that you can look at because people are trying out these bundles cards and they're using them. These team over earner fluctuates a ton. This might be a guy you could trade with, right? He's 1.4 mil right now. What did he do in price yesterday? He went from 13 up to 1425. So he went up 100K from his lowest point during squad battles. And he's kind of just chilling right now. So he hasn't really gone down, at least on the, actually on both consoles. He was 125 on Xbox and he's still 12. So just kind of watch these cards, man. I just feel like there's a potential for a big amount of panic selling later on this week. And that's what I wanted to emphasize to you guys the most in this video today is the fact that later this week, if they do bring out some sort of icon SBC where you're trading in your coins for a untradable icon, people are going to do it. Supposedly right now in foot draft, again, I mentioned this a little bit earlier, but foot drafts are juiced with icon weight. And if you remember, back to earlier this year, it was right before icon moments came out in FIFA. When they first came out, it was like February 13th or February 14th. I was going back and looking at some old YouTube videos and tweets about this one at a random time in the evening, the day before the icon moments came out. The amount of icons that were in foot drafts were absolutely ridiculous. I don't know if you remember this. I mean, it was in February. I saw people on Twitter like, yo, I just did a draft and I got like 11 icons in my entire squad. And I went into the draft and I posted a picture on Twitter. I don't have the time to go find that right now, but that's kind of what's happening right now. They also put like SBC players into foot draft, which is interesting and cool. But foot draft got some love today as well with the daily SBC, the Bundesliga challenge. Where's it at? This SBC right here giving out a draft token pack, which is giving you a draft token. So EA is trying to push you to play draft. So for some reason, they want you to get into draft and they want you to play with icons is what it seems to me is what they're trying to do. And that's what they did lap it in February when I said, Hey, all these cards, you know, are in draft and the weight on them is really, really high. Like the icon weight on the cards you get in draft was really high. So that makes me feel like there definitely is something coming related with icons. Since we saw that last February or this February with the icon weight being increased in, in the drafts, and now it's being increased again. So that's something I find it very interesting. Also, this end of an era De Rossi card was, I think now in concepts or something is for some reason, this card showed up on foot been today. I don't know where this is in the game. My guess is that it is in foot draft. And that's why it's in the game. I really don't know. But my guess is this is in foot draft. If you guys know, let me know down in the comments. But this is another card that showed up today. And then Luis Diaz, I didn't even talk about him yet, Luis Diaz and SBC we got today, 90 rated left mid. If you're a Porto guy, or a Colombian, you like putting together a Colombian team, this dude looks pretty solid four star four star. He's Pacey, he's got high agility, high, high balance, actually not high balance, just high agility, good composure. It just looks like a nice Colombian left wing. And I think all it requires is an 84 rated squad. So very craftable for a 90 rated card at the very least, if you're doing upgrade SBCs at some point this week. So I'm a fan of that one. I'm a fan of this SBC in here, two days remaining. So, you know, not a ton of time to craft, but decent value in my opinion. So again, if you're waiting to do some investing later on this week, I think that's the move out of packs Bundesliga cards, we're still going to look at them. But if there's going to be a lot of panic on Wednesday with the guaranteed Bundesliga tots SBC, and with whatever icon refresh is going to be, I would not be spending a lot of your coins right now because I would expect a really, really big crash in the market. If it's something SBC related, if it's just draft, and they're just upping the weight in draft and they put out like a kid SBC or what I don't know if they just make a whole mess of it and it's just a big a lot. Honestly, then I wouldn't see any hype and I would feel like maybe there's a bit of a sell off headed into the promo. Then once we see that nothing happened, then stuff would rebound. But if there is something that drops on a Wednesday that is big time icon related with a decent amount of hype, especially if it's some sort of SBC, I do feel like you'll see a lot of the market, even team of the seasons will fall in price. A lot of these out of pack specials will fall in price. So I'm kind of waiting until Wednesday to see what happens. And of course, the guaranteed SBC is that day anyway. So I would expect maybe see these cards not really rise up too much until then. And especially as the word spreads around about this, whatever icon refresh is going to be. I would steer clear of a boy's I honestly would steer clear just kind of sit back look do a couple upgrade SBCs you can still trade. Honestly, you can still trade because these guys fluctuate every day this Coleman card was so you saw you saw use me you saw this guy right here sold for 132,000 coins at one point earlier today. This is a really rare card. And it's probably going to get listed on open bid boom there's an open bid right there if I can win this on open bid, like 110 115,000 coins or even catch a snipe like around 114, you know what I'm going to I'm going to pick that up right now because I know I can probably sell that at 130 at some point, especially with the left forward position change. So you can do this quick flipping literally still on the market because people are still buying cards, you know, 16,000 coins here, I would make like 67 K on this card right here after tax. So that's a nice little bit of a trade. You can still do that kind of stuff all the time on the market right now you don't have to be afraid of that. Just have to be afraid of a lot of prices dropping on Wednesday with whatever sort of information we start to get with whatever icon refresh is. But in the meantime, if you guys are doing these upgrades, let me know. All right. This is my team. Sorry, I didn't mean to click on that. I want to get untradable tell us team the season, by the way, I'm going to be doing some of the 83 pluses, I think just to see if I can pack myself that tell us. I was really hoping for the 81 plus from last week, because I wanted to do packs for tell us, but I think the only way I'll be able to get him is maybe from the 83 plus upgrade, though I will do some of those and then maybe from a gold upgrade as well. But if you're doing these bundles like upgrades, let me know down in the comments what you get if you get anything sick. Of course, tweet me if you're getting anything sick as well, because I love seeing you guys get good pack polls. I'll be opening some of these on stream this week as well. That link is down in the description as well. If you enjoyed this video, smash a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you're new. It's been Nate, the Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace.
