 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Photo Count, and welcome back to the channel. Trophy Titans is finally here. We've had the leaks. We kinda know what to expect for today, but will EA show us any surprises? Will there be anything about today's promo with the Trophy Titan heroes and the icons that will come as a surprise? There are some rumors that I wanna talk about that could just do that, but also we're gonna talk a lot about the market today because if this promo is really just heroes and icons, will there be a lot of market impact since so many people won't be packing those cards today just because it's hard to pack them. We know that, and just because those cards are gonna be really expensive. I think there's one SBC today that could have more market impact than the promo cards themselves and all of that related content today. So we're gonna talk about that. If this video helps you out at all today, drop a thumbs up on it, and of course, subscribe to the channel if you are brand new. I wanna show you guys really quickly what EA have just done that is an absolute W. If you missed it, remember they dropped only one token yesterday in Marquis matchups and that was, we needed two, right? We needed two tokens to get to 30 total that EA had dropped in the game. They just did it right here in the moments section. You go into the moments store and you can pick up this token for zero stars. So that is EA giving us that last token that they I guess forgot to put in the moments store during the course of the foot birthday swaps program. So two tokens were added yesterday. Of course, the first one in Marquis matchups and the second one right there. So if you have not done that, go ahead and get your free one. I'm glad that EA made it free and then it requires to actually spend the moments tokens to go ahead and get that. Yesterday was a pretty quiet day, right? We did have Marquis matchups and we had this Nicholas Gonzalez, SBC four star, five star, nothing too crazy there. If you want that for your team, go ahead and get it. But I don't think it's something to go too crazy about. But again, in general, we're ending off a pretty solid foot birthday promo. I know we were really disappointed at the very beginning with the stat upgrades and how these cards looked coming off of there. You know, other previous special versions like Darwin Nunez, Felix getting really small upgrades. But EA did do a bit better in week two with the icons and with the foot birthday cards that are impacts with some bigger upgrades. And let's be honest guys, the SBCs were pretty on par. They did a really good job with the SBCs. A lot of very meta cards were released. So EA GG for a foot birthday, didn't look absolutely insane. It wasn't the best foot birthday ever, but it was solid, especially with tons of objective and SBC content besides the player SBCs. It was a W in my opinion, but we're turning the page today and what I want to do really quickly. We've looked over this stuff already, but I want to just make sure you guys get a right rundown of what we are expecting on this game today. This is the team of players that we are expecting today. A couple more might be added. This might be plus or minus one or two players, right? We know Lucio, we know Yagature. We of course know the players on the loading screen, right? Landed Diamond, Roberto Carlos and Del Piero are the players that are on the loading screen. And the Roberto Carlos and the Del Piero show with five star skills as well. That would mean Del Piero would be five star, five star. So I don't know which players are gonna be in packs today and which ones would be from the mini-release, but a mixture of some of all these icons that we're looking at here should be available in the game today. What it comes down to to me for these cards is number one, the pack weight, which we kinda know was gonna be pretty tough to pack these cards. Anyway, they're icons and they're heroes, right? But will EA juice up the pack weight? Maybe a little bit. More skill move and wake-foot upgrades would be the second thing that I wanna know about. And then the third thing is there have been some rumors and some mentioning about some of these cards potentially having two versions. And I don't exactly know what that's gonna look like. We don't have two different card designs, but we didn't have two different card designs for like the birthday guys, like Genduzzi or Darwin Nunez, right? Who have that dual potential. So somehow some way today there's going to be a dual, I guess, aspect to some of these cards. One rumor that's going around out there is that like maybe Yagatory gets a 90 or 91 rated trophy Titans card, but then there's like a junior or a baby version that would be cheaper on the market. It would have maybe a bit lesser stats that's more affordable. And maybe that's how EA can get the lower budget players interested today on the game because honestly this promo does feel like it's just for people with a ton of coins, which if you're EA, you don't really wanna do that. So I'm so curious to see if any of that comes true today with the two versions things looks like and if there are any other surprises besides that. Now one thing we learned yesterday that is a absolutely incredible dub and this is actually history making on this game is they're gonna be doing an icon player in objectives it sounds like and it's better camp. A decent card, I hope he gets that huge pace boost that this predicted stats card 93 rated with 88 paces showing. This would be incredible, man. EA I believe has never dropped an icon player in objectives. We've had icon packs, we've had icon SBCs, but I don't think we've ever had a technically free icon to be able to go and grind. So this would be kind of massive, especially if they give them a nice boost. I'm sure they wouldn't make it easy, right? I mean, you have to go right now and look inside of objectives and milestones and see that you have to play a good amount of games. Win five, score 10, assist 15 goals. So not too many games for like this Santa Cruz, but you guys know how some of the objectives have worked throughout this year, the foot birthday party. You gotta win 10 squad battles matches to get an 85 plus times five and then that 86 plus from the team won foot birthday party objective. So there's no way they're gonna make a Dennis Bird Camp objective today be really, really easy to do, but that's just cool. That's flat out cool, let's be honest. Hopefully the card today for Bird Camp is boosted. Hopefully has five star skills or probably more likely a five star weak foot like his icon moments card has had in years past. But that's kind of one piece of content I'm really looking forward to today just to see that because we have never seen an icon in objectives before. Now a couple of people that asked me, would this impact some like Dutch players on the market with getting a bird camp in objectives? I mean, technically, yes, I'm sure a lot of people wanna try this card out because it is, you know, quote unquote free besides the time that it takes to go and grind the games through. I really don't think you would see Dutch cards moving that much on the market because it's not like you have to get him chemistry, icons go in your team on three chemistry. Maybe if we're gonna put some other Dutch players in to try them out, maybe they would move a bit later on in the weekend, but of course I'm sure it's not gonna be super easy to get an icon player from objectives. I doubt people will be able to do that in like one day or maybe a half a day's time. So those would take some time to rise. So just be careful with that, not expecting anything crazy in objectives today besides that icon player there, which is pretty crazy in its own right. But SBCs, this is the only Trophy Titans SBC that we still have leaked Roy Keane. If that drops today, hopefully they give him a nice pace boost, but you know what that really reminds me of? It just kind of reminds me of Gattuso. So I feel like that SBC today, if it is gonna be Keane, would really not be that insane because like mentioned, we just got this Gattuso, which is a pretty nice card and a lot of people maybe have just done this. So it's like, if I just did Gattuso, why do I really need to go out and get a Roy Keane that is probably gonna look very similar to this card? So that's kind of the SBC content today for the Trophy Titans promo, but hopefully that like baby or the junior versions of some of these cards does actually happen because I'd be very curious to see how that would impact the game today and I think that would make the game a lot more exciting, especially for those of us that are on lower coin amounts. So how is this all gonna impact the market today? Because you've already seen some foot birthday players. We talked about this in yesterday's video. I wasn't super keen on investing in a lot of these cards, but if you take a look at the prices, looks like a lot of people are investing in foot birthdays because they are going up. Bruno Gimoresh, 800,000 coins. He was like 737.40 yesterday. Hummels is going up. Ganduzia is going up. Timo Werner is a card that's up a lot as well. He was like 230 yesterday and he is up to 260,000 coins at the moment. People are investing in these foot birthdays because I think what they're seeing is the potential of this promo to be only really, really expensive cards and that has got a lot of people interested in buying some of the cheaper ones that people maybe are gonna go out and use in their teams for a week in league starting today. So just be careful with the foot birthdays because yes, some of them I do believe have potential to rise, but on the other hand, if there is really good content today on some way, shape, or form of the game, I do believe that some of these guys could drop and the one thing that I think is really gonna be a big impact to the market today and we've mentioned it in a past couple of days just because it's such a big player pick SBC that is refreshing is the 87 plus World Cup or fantasy hero player pick. Now, when this SBC came out last Sunday, last weekend, it did move the market a bit. It did because this was such a big SBC because it was like, wow, fantasy heroes are packable from this player pick. But again, if you guys remember what we found out is the pack weight on this is woeful. So I don't know if I'm gonna be doing this one today. I don't have a ton of fodder because I'm working on it and cuckoo still and I'm one squad away. So I would probably not do that. But I think a decent amount of people are gonna go after that hero player pick again today. And really, I think if the market's gonna go up today, I don't think it's gonna be in all areas because I do believe there will be a few cards. They will maybe get panic sold today. And I think you would have potential to see some prices dropping on some hero cards and on some just of your meta cards in general today, just because people will see this player pick and they will want to go ahead and do it again just because they have the chance. Remember last Sunday, so many people were packing aloe vera. Like it was crazy how packable this card was in that player pick alone. But then of course, you have the opportunity to pack the fantasy cards, which were very hard to pack. But you give people that opportunity to do that. And if the content today is not that insane, it might just be more of a reason for some people to go out and to try to get that player pick done. So with that being said, I wanna look at fodder because there's a couple reasons actually. I'm gonna take a look at fodder because some of it is low right now. 85's under 9K, that's really low. 86's are pretty low. 88's actually dropped off yesterday. They're around 26 to 27,000 coins, 28K right now for Ruben Diaz. But you can see, right? They were like 28K. They were down to about 26 during marquee matchups and they're going back up a bit. Today, as people complete footchamps early and maybe get some of the rewards, we saw this last week with 90s and 91s. They got really, really low before content. And last week that 88 plus icon player picker refreshed and 91s went right back up, right? They went way high and they're actually really, really high right now with so many of them being out of packs for being in team of the week, right? De Bruyne, Benzema, Lewandowski, they're crazy expensive right now. 90K for the 91 rated cards, crazy high there. Watch your 86, 87s and 88s today because if they drop before content with the refresh of this SBC and inside of it having an 85, six and 87 rated requirement. If you look at the 87 rated squad, I think a lot of people are gonna be buying 88s, right? You look in here, you see one, two, three, four, five, 88s, one, 87 and then the rest of the 84s and a couple of 83s as the cheapest way to fill out an 87 rated squad at the moment. So that's why I would say watch closely the 88 rated cards today. If you can get some bids at like 25K, 26K even, try to shoot for 25K on the 88s because those could be 29 to 30,000 coins later tonight if that SBC refreshes and it has a lot of hype. So I would watch out for those cards there. Now for the other part of the fodder market today, if there is not that much demand for other SBCs, like 85s, yeah, you know, did the 85s go up at all even on Sunday? Let's check this out. Let's go back to Sunday. Did they go up at all? They went from 9.7, oh yeah, that's right. They had a quick hour spike and then they came back down. This could again happen today on a promo Friday. You would expect it to happen a little bit less because there's gonna be more packs open, the lightning rounds for the Trophy Titans promo. I do like 85s though at this price. Anywhere below 9,000 coins I think is fantastic for 85s for more of a longer term hold once we start to get TOTS warm up content because with TOTS warm up comes a bunch of packs that we are gonna have to save and EA are gonna be putting out and telling us to save for a team of the season. Again, I don't believe that's going to be today. If it is, that would cause some market panic for sure. And if you see anything about TOTS warm up series, I would say probably start to get rid of cards that are in your team tradable and do it pretty fast because even if TOTS is still two weeks away, that's just gonna start to get people in the, okay, it's about to get real. Team of the season is really, really close. And every time we see a warm up series, we'll talk about it more in the coming weeks until we see it, but it causes panic. So watch out for that. But during those promos as well, we see a lot of low rated fodder rise. So we'll be looking out for that today. And again, like I said guys, I think that 87 plus is gonna, that player pick is gonna create some panic today, which is why, you know, I'm decently liquid. I do have a couple of cards that I've picked up. Just some cards that I think are on the lower tier, lower budgets that people are maybe buying for teams. A lot of serial links are doing really well right now. I picked up some Raspid to raise yesterday at about 192,000 coins. And he is now, what is he like, 20 something, he kind of gets listed down to like 199. And then it'll go to like 210. And I just think that this card is one that fluctuates really well. Martinelli was a guy that I picked up on Wednesday and I picked him up for like 400,000 coins and he went to like 440. So just watch out for some of your fluctuations today because wow, how high is he right now? 450, crazy. Some of these good cards could be really, really good to trade with. And just if you keep an eye on a couple of cards throughout the day today, I think you'll have a great opportunity to make some coins in some specific areas. The serial links are being hyped a lot right now. But just rare cards in general, I would be trading with, if I'm trading it all today, out of packs, specials that people maybe are buying for links to their teams. Look at Screening R. Screening R is 111 and he was 100,000 coins yesterday. The serial hype is real. So serial special cards could be good with Rabio. And the other SBCs have been released recently. Same thing with Bundesliga. With the Moinir SBC being a very popular one on a low budget. If there are any Bundesliga links that drop today, keep an eye on those as well. I just think that 87 plus hero player pick could actually hurt a bit of the rise on the markets. So just be careful with that. But I think there'll be opportunities to trade today for sure. And then with the trophy Titans guys, I mean, anytime we get icon cards in a promo, you guys maybe have noticed this with like the foot birthday icons that we saw in the past couple of weeks or the heroes that we had during like fantasy foot. Day one is always a day where it's like this for all cards. But these new icons that drop today and the new heroes are probably gonna be pretty expensive to start things off. Last week, Death's Eye was really cheap and then he went down for like an hour or two and then kind of rebounded. But since it's day one and these are already rare cards to begin with, these guys are gonna have great fluctuations. Like Rooney, if we go back, like you can see he went down like 1.5 and then boom, went to 1.7 overnight. But then cards do definitely go down the next day into Saturday. So anything that you maybe buy today, just be careful with it because there's a lot of fluctuation opportunity. But also there is a lot of, look at this for Death's Eye, he was like low. He was under 900,000 coins. He got kind of rare spiked back up and then got super duper rare, went to 1.1 mil but then dropped off a bunch on Saturday. So I expect similar movements to happen, not starting super duper low but just big drop offs on Saturday per usual. We'll talk about that a bit more tomorrow as we see these cards on the market but still keeping on full birthday cards, team one and team two because that is the most recent promo and those are the cards that people are most hyped about right now on this game and you can tell, right? Their prices are going up from the low points that we saw earlier this week on most of these full birthday icons and for some of these full birthday cards. So watch to see how the market does today in that range. Other than that, it's kind of just like a okay EA surprises today. Surprises with something cool, something that we are not expecting. The last thing I wanna talk about is actually a little bit of news. I'm sure you guys saw this and we're gonna talk about it a lot, okay? Heading into later on this year, into the summer as the FIFA 23 winds down, EA Sports yesterday revealed the logo for EA FC 24 and with it, they said, hey, we can't talk about it a lot but coming in July, you're gonna learn a lot more about EA Sports FC and there's been a lot of people leaking stuff about EA FC and I just wanna talk about this because it was posted yesterday and there's a lot of news and a lot of stuff being talked about it. For those of you guys that are excited for EA FC, join me, right? I think this is gonna be even better than what we have known from FIFA's of past because now EA is not going to be withheld by any sort of other, like FIFA is not there to tell EA maybe what they should do. There's no agreements that EA are tied into with FIFA anymore. EA can run the show however they want to and I think that kind of gives them the freedom to potentially do more and better things with this next game. A lot of people ask the question, Nate, does this mean that they are going to be losing licenses and losing player names? Not at all guys. Look at all the licenses that they have down here and I think what, I think EA know that's a big worry for a lot of people because if you take a look at their Twitter yesterday, they've just been retweeting all the other, like these big clubs and big Twitter accounts, MLS, UVA, PlayStation, right? Like they're trying to get everybody on board and spread the word that EA Sports FC is literally just the FIFA that we have known but probably even better for this next upcoming year. So we don't know all about the big time changes. There's a lot of leaks out there. We'll cover them as time allows but I wanted to spend a couple of minutes talking about that because there's no really reason to fear that game because it's gonna be basically the same as what we've known FIFA as always, getting better just about every year especially with content and I just think they're gonna have more freedom to do what they want in this next year of EA Sports FC. So we'll talk more about that of course during the summer but I just wanted to kind of get that out there for you guys because that was some pretty big news that was dropped yesterday about the future of this game but I'm gonna try to get some sales tonight and picked up some Hollins. Be very careful with man of the match cards today. They're gonna get supplied. There's gonna be some panic selling on those because they are still in packs. These cards do not go out of packs. That's why I'm trying to get these sales here late tonight so that before content today I can get these coins and be safe with them and not have to worry about it because I do not wanna hold onto this guy specifically or any of the other cards and maybe like Kimmich or whatever into tomorrow because they will get supplied with lightning rounds and stuff like that. Also gonna try to flip this messy. Hopefully we can get a little bit of a rarity fluctuation and a messy fan will buy that card and we will make some profit there but it should be a good promo Friday. It's a promo Friday, right? It's always exciting. Hopefully there's some surprises today from EA Sports and some W content released with Trophy Titans.
