 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. the Foot Accountant, and welcome back to the channel. The Foot Centurions promo on FIFA 23 started yesterday as a big L, and it also started with an EA mistake because they had to change or upgrade some of the ratings on the cards they released because they made a mistake in their initial post and in their initial release of the cards. I want to talk about that and how those upgrades actually impacted the market and made prices move, and today's a big day on Saturday, not for content, but for potentially what could happen to the market. I'm not trying to get you guys scared about the team of your market crash, but I'm just saying where we are at right now in this game, getting closer and closer three days away from team of the year voting, we're getting close. So could there be a bit of a market downturn even as soon as today? We'll talk about that and what to expect on a Saturday of this Foot Centurions promo, and I also just want to take a look as what to expect during this promo. EA laid it all out for us on what they're going to do in this next two weeks because this is a two week promo. So let's take a look at that and everything else that's going on in this game. If you're excited for it, hit the thumbs up, subscribe if you're new, all the good stuff there. Let's start from the top, right? So yesterday, and a lot of you guys are probably feeling this way, this Foot Centurions promo just doesn't feel that great, especially when we saw them tweet this graphic yesterday with the cards on it. We saw the stats, we were like, oh my goodness, this promo looks abysmal, right? The stats don't look that good. The player selection is okay. There's some cool cards in here, but we at first saw it and we were like, oh my gosh, this looks absolutely terrible. But of course, what we learned really quick was these stats were not 100% correct because when you go in-game, this footprint still shows Trent Alexander Arnold is having 86 pace, right? As you saw in the opening menus here, it also shows that. But if you click into his card, and this is probably going to be fully upgraded and fixed up today all around everywhere, on the game, he has 90 pace. And if you looked at the in-game stats right away, at the start of the game yesterday, when these cards were first put in packs, he had 90 pace, but his pace stat on the face of the card still showed 86. So that is what a lot of people are referring to as the upgrade, right? EA actually didn't upgrade these cards. They had the correct stats inside the card the whole time. It was just the front of the card showing the pace stat as 86 that was incorrect. But of course, as they said, and they actually tweeted this out a couple hours prior to them fixing this, they said, we have addressed an issue where some of the face attributes were appearing lower than intended. This was visual only and did not impact the in-game performance. So the couple of cards that were messed up, right? Alexander Arnold is going from 86 pace to 90 pace. He gets plus two shooting, plus two dribbling, or plus two, sorry, plus two defense, plus one physical. Kempembe actually has 85 pace. And then Jamie Vardy has 90 pace, 90 shooting. And I think like Milner has a small upgrade, Jordy Alba has 90 pace. It's kind of crazy, right? They messed up like five or six cards and a lot of them they messed up the pace stat. So actually if you go into the menus, it's kind of funny here because you can see the correct stats on these cards, right? Jordy Alba 90 pace, 90 pace and shooting on Jamie Vardy. Footbin has them incorrect right now. So look at the in-game stats, not at the Footbin one. But that was just kind of crazy yesterday because when they upgraded those and when they tweeted that out, you saw cards like Trent and Kempembe actually go up a lot in price because people were like, oh my goodness, these cards got upgraded. They look so much better. But again, like we said, it technically was not an upgrade. It was just an EA visual mistake, but it did move the market a bit and it was pretty crazy. That was one of the, honestly, the most craziest things that happened yesterday. Now in general, like we said, this Centurion's promo, it just, it's okay, right? When you look at the promo team right now, yes, you've got a really cool Ben Yettered. You've got a cool Neymar. You've got a Trent Alexander Arnold that might be a top two, top three, right back in the Premier League. Of course, Kyle Walker is his competition. That's a really, really hyped card. Kempembe with 85 paces, nice. There are some decent cards that are in this promo team, but what people are not super happy about is the rest of the squad, right? The whole rest of the squad is almost fodder, apart from like five players in this team. And we didn't get the cards like the Zlatan, the Marco Royce, or so many of those other players that we were hoping to see inside of this promo that it just seems like this promo is perfect for those cards, right? Again, they didn't even give us detail about what Centurion card is getting an upgrade for like what 100 plus barrier they broke, or what they're getting the card for, basically. So that's kind of a bit of a bummer there, but they also laid out the entire promo week for us. They said there's gonna be the official release, of course, yesterday. The mini release will not be today. It'll be tomorrow on Sunday for team one. Team two is gonna be launching the 13th next Friday with the mini release on Saturday. So this promo is gonna take us right up until team of the year. And again, that's why we think, and we were talking about this on stream yesterday, that's why we believe that this promo is a bit lackluster and it's a bit kind of, you know, it's just kind of an L, right? Because that's what EA like to do. We talk about this all the time, time and time. And again, is that EA has to kind of rock with the ebbs and the flows in this game, right? They have to make you really excited sometimes, and they also have to make you feel like you're missing out, because if they make you really excited all the time, then you're always gonna have your expectations lifted higher and higher. And right now, EA wants to disappoint us a little bit, even though it sucks, right? EA wants to disappoint us so that we can get excited again for team of the year coming in a couple of weeks, and then they can put out good content, and then it can be like, oh wow, team of the year is sick, right? That sort of thing. So that's kind of why this promo, this is honestly, it's a filler promo is what it is. And it sucks because this is such a good promo idea that could have incredible, incredible cards, and it feels like this is a wasted opportunity. But a lot of people are not happy with this promo and I completely understand, but there is redemption, technically, there's a second week, and there's still some cool cards out, right? I mean, nonetheless, not that these cards are absolutely insane, but they are pretty cheap, and that's the next thing I wanna talk about is, this promo team is supplied a lot. I think EA got a lot of people to open packs yesterday. We were talking about this in the stream as well. I think they got a lot of people to open packs because they threw a Neymar, a Benyeter, a Kempembe, and a Trent Alexander Arnold. Guys that have not had special cards this year, or really usable ones, getting some pretty sizable boosts, putting them in this promo team with some nice cards, and then they supplied a lot of lightning rounds, and I think they got a lot of people to open packs. They also, again, are dropping these store packs. So we saw two of the extra store packs yesterday, the Team of the Week reboot pack, which is untradable, and then the Centurions essentials pack. This one actually impacted the market a lot. In the middle of that kind of stat upgrade, whole fiasco thing, Trent Alexander Arnold was like 260, 250,000 coins. As people were buying his card out, I think it was like the second or third hour after the promo, his price was like 250, 260, and that pack got released, and I'm not even kidding you, within 20 or 30 minutes, Trent went from 250 down to 205,000 coins, 210k, then EA fixed the stats, it showed his 90 pace in game, and his card went back up to about 260, 250, kind of 240 range where he is now. So there was a huge market impact, and just a lot of supply in general. When we were looking at these cards yesterday on the market, they were just supplied so much. With Winter Wild Cards, like if this Neymar would have been released as a Winter Wild Card item, I would kid you not, like remember how rare Benzema was last week? I mean, this Neymar would be so much more rare and so much more expensive if this was Winter Wild Cards, I feel, because the pack weight last week was just a lot worse, and they were just so rare. And these cards seem to be the opposite. They seem to be very supplied, and a lot of them on the market, which makes me not want to trade with them that much, and also makes me believe that they will probably have some pretty sizable drop-offs in price today. Now, of course, they're gonna fluctuate around, right? Neymar was just down to 2.5 mil or 2.5 flat. He's looking like he's rebounding back up right now. You know, if I was somebody that had this card, I would want to sell it, right? Because I think that even though Neymar is, it's a nice boost over his inform, this card's 700K, this one has a couple more positions, a different dynamic image, and a slight boost, and his 2.6 mil. I just feel like this card, and a lot of these other centurions are gonna dip down in price today. Now, some of them, you're like, Nate, how far can they go, right? Kim Pembe is on the Varan level of stats, and he's already a lot cheaper than him. I think this promo team has the opportunity, since it is gonna be a bit cheaper, and since these cards are pretty cheap, I think it has the opportunity to kind of take the rest of the market down with it, especially if this promo is an L that's going to decrease demand for teams and for gameplay. After this week in league is over, and after people finish their games, that's why I really believe, guys, that today could be a pretty sizable day for drop offs and price drops on the market as people start to think about team of the year. Now, again, I'm not trying to incite panic and it's always tricky around these times of the year because you always think about the market crashes and you expect them and you know they're coming, but what it comes down to with these market crashes, like every single time, is it comes down to what people feel like they should do and in preparation, what people are told to do on when to sell cards and all that sort of thing. And I just feel like we are getting closer and closer to hitting the tipping point, to hitting the edge where that switch kind of flips. We've had a really nice market the past two to three weeks, right? With Winter Wild Cards, there's a lot going on, a lot of gameplay demand. We've had a really, really nice market. All it takes is one or two days for that switch to flip and a promo Friday like we had yesterday to have a lot of cards start to drop in value. So just be very careful. I'm not telling you to sell. Again, we talked about selling earlier on in the week. The market on most areas is still up a little bit, but some stuff has started to drop just a tiny bit. Again, it just depends on the specific cards you're looking at. Some of the Winter Wild Cards from yesterday are going up in price, right? Andrew Robertson, of course with Milner and the Trent being dropped yesterday. This guy is up, right? He was 290, he was all the way up to about 330. Right now, he's 330 still. So, you know, a guy like that is up in price, Veran was up a little bit. You know, there was some other cards that dropped down that then bounced back up. All I'm saying is just be careful. I'm gonna be pretty liquid today. I have a couple of cards and I'm still trying to quick flip and get out of and make a couple little bits of profit on. I picked up a Marquinhos at a stupid low price. This guy was selling at 630K yesterday and I got one for 520. So if I can get this out for 600K, I will be happy. But I'm gonna be sitting on my coins today and probably be pretty liquid. So I'm gonna take it easy and not try to do too much on this market today as you see a nice Neymar bounce from 255 to 275. I thought about flipping this Neymar card. But again, the supply there I didn't like and I just feel like there wasn't gonna be enough profit in it for me to spend 2.7 million coins to try and make 30 or 40,000 coins, you know? So I wasn't in it for that one. But I do expect those centurions to drop off a bit today. They always drop on Saturdays. That's almost always a thing that you see. Now, let's talk about just the content that we saw really quick yesterday because we did have an SBC that moved the market yesterday a lot and that was this Ried Márez. It was basically exactly as leaked. Five star skills, four star weak foot, right wing, the same stats that they were posted. He does have the center attack in mid position, which is nice. And I haven't seen any reviews. I haven't watched the inception review in this card yet. But it looks good. It looks very craftable. Márez is always pretty FIFA meta. It's coming in at about 270,000 coins, which fodder is another aspect that we gotta talk about really quick. 280, 270k, it's not that bad. A lot of upboats you can see. And of course, a lot of your Manchester City links are flying, especially the rare ones. This Cancelo yesterday, you can see on the graph. Take a look at this, from 380, boom. All the way to 450, absolutely exploded. Some of your other rare ones, Laporte, his World Cup Stories card was over 400k. He went from 380, 360, boom. All the way to 439. Kevin De Bruyne special cards, the other Cancelo informed. So a lot of stuff is up in price because of Márez. That stuff, just like we saw with the Serie A cards that went up on Thursday for the SBC Poletano, some of that stuff has come down in price, right? Sell into the hype of all these cards exploding, right? Cause this Kim and Jay was like 140, even 150. Now he's back down to 120 because the Márez hype and all of these new promo cards are here. So if you have those city cards, I would wanna sell those into the hype as well. But that Márez and the base icon player pick yesterday, the base icon player pick actually impacted the market a lot. I mean, I would say that based on what we were thinking in yesterday's video, a lot of it went according to plan, but there was a little bit of extra panic in there in the first, I don't know, let's say the first hour, the first 30 minutes after the content drop. I think so many people went out and did the base icon that actually caused a bit of a market crash because that SBC refreshed. You had Márez, you had the base icon and you had people opening packs for the new promo. They were going and doing the base icon to maybe having to sell a couple of cards to do that or to buy players to get Márez and their team. There was like a solid 30 minutes of just like pure panic, right? And the graph that I can show you because I had one of these myself that kind of summarizes it all was this brutal game Márez. He was 220. I bought one like right here at 200K. He went all the way down to 199 and was even lower than where I bought him at for a little bit. And then he absolutely skyrocketed and exploded. This is a really good picture of what happened to most of meta cards on the market. Yesterday, there was like a little bit of panic in the first hour after content with the new promo cards getting released and I think that base icon player pick because again, if you take a look at the popular page on footbin, what do you see? You see a lot of these base icon players and that tells me especially yesterday right after content all of these like Hulet, Maldini, Lam, Kaka like all of these base icons were on the front page of footbin most popular which means that people are doing the icon SBC and they're going and looking at the card A they either packed to know how much it is or B they want to know what baby icons they can get. So that use those tips. We talk about the popular page all the time. Use those tips to kind of figure out what people are doing on the game but that kind of created a whole madness yesterday. So of course when people are going and doing that SBC like we talked about in yesterday's video too I was expecting a slight like spike on fodder for an hour or two and then a drop and that is honestly kind of what happened. You saw 86 is the index go from 213 points all the way to 240. So like 86's yesterday were up at like 13K I think look at the graph of Parejo from 11,000 coins all the way to 13,000 coins now he's back down to like 11 and 12. Your 87's went up a good amount because I think there's a higher rated squad in the base icon. I think it's 80, 45 right? Actually Robbo, well Robbo's a bad example because he was out of packs as a gold card. Let's look at Verati. I thought these guys went up yesterday did they? Yeah a little bit from like 16K up to about 17, 18 but I think it was like your 85's went up a lot as well. Serge Nabri is 6.9 at the moment. Serge Nabri went from 7K, boom, spiked all the way to eight and is now back down. So if you sold or he traded with this spike at all you made some good coins there. And now I would expect to see fodder getting low throughout the day today on Saturday as well because like we said we've got this essentials pack that is here that a lot of people are opening it's only available for, is it available for one day? All right it's available for the whole weekend so this is here but we still have that big 100 players pack, right? We still have the Centurions 100 pack which is tradable by the way. Again, this right here does not say untradable so I'm imagining that it's gonna be a tradable pack today. If this drops today which it very well could that's gonna bring more supply to the market, more supply to your foot Centurions players and more supply to your fodder including a silver card. So watch for fodder to get lower even than it is right now later today because some fodder prices still like the 89s and the 90s and the 91s are still a bit inflated right? 91 rated cards are still 68k which is very high so I think those will hopefully drop off a bit and people are gonna do these packs man look 26% chance of a Centurions in this 1500 FIFA point pack which if you look at the other packs right 80 plus five, 85 plus star player pack 19% as well but that's untradable so why not open this for 1500 FIFA points for almost the same price FIFA point wise it's tradable and you have a very high percentage of packing a team in the week or a Centurions card. Yeah it's gonna be crazy if that 100 pack drops today because a lot of people are gonna do that one as well and that's gonna keep continuing to impact the market. Couple other things from yesterday the Ledley King loan moments card there it's free you can go get it for zero moment stars so you don't have to have any stars to get in. I believe this price range is mixed up it's like at 67,000 coins for this card obviously with his stats he is worth a little bit more than that I don't think he's worth too much more than like 100,150K even though he is brand new but if you go in here and you can see his stats in the store I'm gonna go claim the loan cause I have not done that yet but you can just go in here and claim it he's got 80 pace 89 defense and 80 physical so it's not a terrible card it's not amazing but seven game loan you get it for free that's nice right we knew that was gonna be coming today so that card is now available and there's some more moments in there based around him so that's kind of cool we had two objectives yesterday just to run through this stuff really fast too we had the Gulaski which honestly does not look that fantastic but you know it's not terrible I mean you just score some goals and rivals or squad battles for a Bundesliga team that is not a terrible card just going craft and then of course are not craft but complete and then you have a century of goals which is basically if you score 100 goals in any game mode you get some packs it's not anything super crazy but like 84 plus and then at the end of premium goal players pack so you got 91 days to do this as well so they're giving you a lot of time to get that done but again I think we just have to be careful on the market today I think there will be opportunities to trade and to make some coins but I'm gonna be very very careful with the guys I'm not gonna be spending a lot of coins today on cards that I think could drop off a lot and honestly I think a good amount of the market could drop off today but there's still weak in league demand so it's gonna be really really tough to see where the market goes but we're just gonna have to watch out for it right we're gonna have to keep an eye out and see what the pulse of the market is today because that will in turn give us kind of an idea of where the market is going to head later on now last thing I wanna say and talk about really quick is the World Cup icons have been updated so EA said that they might take a long time to fix this like it only took six weeks right shout out Clovenetti you know these cards took a while to update so your Drogba is no longer gonna look like Maldini and your players are no longer gonna have the incorrect in-game player faces so watch out with that stuff there if you have one of those in your team don't think that makes them any more or less desirable for say but they are now corrected in games so good luck with your weekend leagues good luck if you're grinding this weekend and I know that this promo kind of takes a bit of hype away from the game I completely understand that but let me know what your guys thoughts are down below because there are some really cool cards a part of this promo as well and don't get your hopes up for a player as we see today unless we have a leak because I really feel like it might be a quiet Saturday of content because we just came out of Winter Wildcars promo that's got daily player SBCs I don't believe that's a part of this Centurions promo so it's gonna seem in total like EA is pulling it back and the content is just not gonna be as amazing for the next couple of weeks but we're gonna start talking about Team of the Year soon and that's gonna build the hype as well in its own way so it's just kind of the calm before the storm I guess you could say so we're gonna weather that storm and get right through it and at least there's still a decent amount to do this weekend on this game so again, if you did enjoy the video smash thumbs up on a comment level if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new have a good weekend it's been Nathan with a count and I'll catch you guys later, peace out.
