 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. The big day has arrived. The icon swaps two is here. Now it's of course confirmed for today because we have this loading screen telling us that icon swaps is dropping today on Monday. I wanna take a look at how it might actually be a pretty crazy day of Monday content in this game with icon swaps, maybe that flashback Greensbin SBC and upgrade packs. Those are the three big things potentially that could be coming today. Of course, icon swaps and upgrade packs basically just about guaranteed. Upgrade packs aren't guaranteed but we get those just about every single Monday. So we're hoping for something insane in that category and department on this game. And of course everybody's gonna be switching their minds over to grinding objectives and getting either icons or packs. And I wanna talk everything related to icon swaps two and how that's gonna affect the market today on this game. So if you're excited for icon swaps number two and maybe a flashback Greensbin SBC hit the thumbs up on the video and of course subscribe if you are new. Now we know that icon swaps is coming, right? The loading screen tells us and once again we have looked over these choices. These are the confirmed leaked rewards from icon swaps number two. And some things that we know about icon swaps that are basically factual every single time that they drop. Yes, we have like the first nine tokens or what we usually see drop the first day. Now there are some rumors out there that are saying that this time for icon swaps two we'll get all 18 tokens at once. I really don't see that happening. They've never done that before as far as I can remember. So I think just like icon swaps one we'll have nine tokens released then probably a date with those objectives expire and then nine more tokens released after that. Now again, if you're looking at the best value for icon swaps two today in my opinion, especially right now we were talking about this on stream earlier. These times 25 packs there are 18 man of the match cards that are in packs right now and 22 different road to the final items that are all in packs right now at the moment. I feel like if you're gonna be going after icon swaps or whatever you're gonna be going for if you're getting any of these first three packs I would try to grind those first and get those packs this week because again having the potential to pack all 22 promo cards which is a lot of promo items on this game there's a lot of those cards in packs but also having the man of the match cards in packs as well it gives you a few more fodder cards you know and some other decent items you know DiBala, the Romero, the Cliver, the Lukaku, the Jota. So I think that if you're grinding swaps either any of these first three packs if that's any of your goals this week I would focus on getting those first like somebody was talking about hey I want it to do the 82 times 25 the 83 times 25 and Gerard right? Boom that'd be your 18 tokens I would go and get those two packs first because I think it's really good value right now if that's a word right if you can think of it in that way really good value to open packs because there's so much that is out in the game in terms of packs right now at this moment so just wanna throw that out there of course these are the leaked rewards though so we expect to see these dropped into the game today of course people would only be able to attain nine tokens from the objectives that would drop today unless you do something crazy and drop more than nine tokens at one time now again we talk about objectives right these were the objectives that were released with icon swaps one we had silver, Aridavizi and then an icon swaps one as well for the second set of objectives you know they're all pretty similar so we don't have any leaks right now about what the objectives are actually going to be but often times they're kinda similar right you pick some silvers you pick a nation and then you know that's kinda you know first owner that's something that you usually see as well it'll probably be under the milestones tab today just so that you know where it is when you go to search in the game so maybe stock your club with some silvers right they're all really cheap I'm hearing at the moment Brazilian silvers Argentinians, Portuguese you know it's probably a good shout maybe to stock your club with a few of those just to maybe stay ahead of what might be coming in terms of objectives today where people would go out and try to get their icon swap games in and you know that's gonna be the big part of content for today on Monday is icon swaps and we've been talking about it a little bit before how is that gonna impact the market? I'm very curious to see how the market is impacting today and see how many people go out and start grinding the stuff I specifically remember on the first set of icon swaps when it was released Ronaldo who was like 490,000 coins at the moment at that time in the game there was a lot of these meta cards that you know they didn't have a huge drop off but like I think Ronaldo at that time dropped off like 20, 30,000 coins I do think that you will see some of the market drop off today as people sell cards from their teams to go pursue these objectives and the rewards that are inside of those so I think that'll impact the market a little bit today and you know I gotta talk about SPC fodder too as we maybe talk about what's going on in the market right now SPC fodder is dropping a lot at the moment and you can tell not just by looking at this page on footbin with all the cheapest players by rating but if you take a look at the homepage and you see some of these SPCs look at the price of Ben Yetter 280,000 coins so much cheaper than he was it's like 60,000, 70,000 coins cheaper than what he was the Eric Baye showdown SPC is down like 30K in value so all of these SPCs that are out right now are down in value and everything's looking kind of cheap just because SPC fodder is down now if you want to invest in fodder because you're like man Nate this stuff Kingsley Coman is 16,000 coins he was over 20K last week on Thursday with all of the hype content that was out I understand why you want to invest in fodder but in my opinion I feel like we're headed for a little bit of a fodder downturn I don't know what they're gonna do with all the SPCs that are upcoming I feel like we just don't have a ton of hype SPCs that are you know upcoming you know last week we had not one but two icon upgrade packs with the mid icon player pick being so popular that is now gone away unless it comes back today and we get more leaks of crazy SPCs whether it's players whether it's more of those like reunion player picks or stuff like that we need that sort of content in this game like multiple times per week to keep fodder at these high prices that it's at right 16K for an 86 rated card that's kind of actually inflated right usually what we call low for 86 is is like under 15, 14,000 coins for both consoles so fodder has been up a lot recently and I just want to kind of put that into perspective as well fodder is usually more expensive in this time of the year because there's a lot of SPC content as EA is trying to keep people engaged with the game but I think we might just be headed for a couple days where it actually drops further down and just through the little research I look back at last year in FIFA 21 icon swap set two dropped on the 19th of February or 18th of February last year take a look at 87 theme Maria who went from 41,000 coins down to 34K 88 Tony Cruz went from 48,000 coins down to 43K so I think that there's a possibility that we would see some fodder drop off now you may be like Nate people are going to be opening these fat packs with times 25, 83, 82 and 81 pluses and then they're going to go out and do SPCs and I'm like yeah, you know what that is a very fair point and every single year is different in terms of what content is out at the time when they drop icon swaps but I just feel like right now there's a lot of player SPCs but the stuff that really gets people going are these types of SPCs and especially that player pick so if the mid icon player pick comes back if they keep releasing those gamble like the year in review or the party bag type SPCs those if those are released and repeatable then I guess I could see fodder continue to go up but all I'm saying is just be careful with it so if you want to buy some fodder right now all that I would do is really just go and do a club stock I wouldn't do too much else more than that and also people are going to be getting fodder from upgrade packs I really think today it's a Monday right and we have all these insane cards that are in packs I would be very surprised if EA sports did not drop upgrade packs today of course the 80 plus player pick which was released during the first week of the Future Stars promo was a huge, huge hit and that SPC was incredibly OP I really hope they bring that one back with all the special cards that are in packs right now a player pick upgrade pack would actually bang it would be so good it'd be really, really OP so I really hope that they bring that back now of course they're probably gonna drop like 81 plus double packs today instead or something like that but we can hope for something insane now also you'll notice that our Gareth Bale rode to the final card right now again we're on the topic of Monday content the content we could see today this card has dropped like 20,000 coins in the last couple hours I think there's some leaks going around that the flashback Antoine Griezmann is going to be today because the last time that we saw the first leak about an Antoine Griezmann flashback this Gareth Bale dropped in price some he's dropping more right now I've seen a couple people tweet about it not really credible sources so again believe that with a pinch of salt per usual but it sounds like that Griezmann might be today on Monday and I think that would be why this Bale card is down a little bit in price right now so just be a little bit careful with that and speaking of these rode to the final cards of course we've got weakening rewards that are coming out today and people will be opening those if they haven't already there's a lot of these cards that people are trying to invest in you know Deneir is a very very popular one right this is giving me if you guys remember from team one of Future Stars from Sunday night into Monday Elmas rose a ton as a very high player Deneir is giving me Elmas vibes the only thing I'm gonna tell you a lot of people are investing right now and it makes sense right normal you know mindset would be okay it's a great time to invest in some of these cards rode to the finals some of them have games this week where they could potentially get upgraded a lot of the pack supply happens on the weekends we get packs on you know the foot champions rewards being pushed out to everybody on early Monday mornings a lot of people are investing in these cards I think we could see some of them go up right Tellez is already up a little bit again I already mentioned that Deneir he has already risen in price a little bit from where he was there's a couple other cards in here Kai Havertz keeps slowly inching higher in price because people know that those are some of the items that have games this week and they're hoping that with those teams potentially playing and winning games that those cards would rise with the hype of an upgrade coming soon so that's why they're getting invested in now again it's the only thing that's counteracting that in my mind why I'm being a little bit careful with some of the stuff is icon swaps is again today and I just want to be a little bit careful with that I know these are live cards I know they're decently rare and a lot of people want to get their hands on them but I feel like that of course you know you got to be careful with this sort of situation yes we could see some cards rise up after week and league rewards into the day today on Monday and then maybe after 6pm UK when the content drops and icon swaps is released in this game then maybe you see some of the prices drop down a little bit all I'm gonna say is with a lot of people investing and maybe having that kind of thought process in mind just be careful right just be careful because when there's a lot of people investing that can mean some very interesting things and you know that can cause a lot of panic and undercutting if there is really insane content today on Monday not saying that there is but I don't know I just have something in my gut that tells me to be careful so I'm kind of being careful with these cards I have bought a few but not very many and you know I'm just picking my spots very carefully and hoping to see some stuff that will maybe rise up a little bit I was watching Quadrado I'm kind of watching Kempembe kind of watching Renato Sanchez just because these cards are high tier very popular and they're also really rare so might try a couple flips on some of these cards but again with all the hype being on the icon swaps today I'm just gonna be careful with it right and I'm gonna play a little bit cautious it's been a really really great week of making coins the past two weeks so I don't wanna jeopardize that at all and I wanna stay in the winning margin and I wanna stay in the positive so that's why I'm playing it a little cautious right now especially with you know upgrade packs maybe a Griezmann today fodder is pretty cheap and if people are gonna go out and grind objectives you know that's again gonna be more things that will turn people away from really going out and grinding upgrading their team and opening you know not opening but going and buying players off of the market to be upgrading their side so that's gonna be one of the most interesting things to keep an eye on today and to watch out for but you know these cards right here the Mahrez that was dropped yesterday it is a pretty dope card it almost feels like the second week or even the first week of Future Stars with the mini release I mean these cards are expensive like Ried Mahrez being he's over a million coins he was extinct yesterday over a million coins right now he's 1.03 I see no reason in the world that this card should be 1.1 million coins I feel like this card should be 600 to 700,000 coins yes he does have five star skills he's medium medium yes it is Ried Mahrez and yes of course he's 91 rated so what really is being built into the price of this card right now is the fact that he is hopefully gonna keep winning as city keep winning and that's gonna press his card up higher and higher and higher in value and that's what's gonna keep his price high right and that's why he's kind of inflated because of that right so I don't like this card's price right now of course I know city are up and they're gonna get upgraded right and they have to win the second leg and he's gonna get a plus two and he's gonna go to a 93 rated card and that seems basically confirmed it's the same situation with Sadio Mane right Sadio Mane got a price range update yesterday till he was 1.6 mil and he was extinct man these cards are so so expensive and I mean I understand a little bit why they're expensive but the other thing to consider with especially Mane and the Ried Mahrez card is that we don't have Champions League games for the second leg of the knockout rounds for those teams that have already played that second week is like not until the first week of March I'm pretty sure round of 16 second leg is let's see Tuesday March 8th, Wednesday March 9th and then March 16th, 15th we're like a month away for the second leg almost on a couple of these cards three weeks away for some of these so again a guy like Mane yes he might be getting a plus two but that's also a long time from now so I think that the time between now and then there's a whole lot of potential for EA Sports to release some crazy content that would make a card like Mane or make a card like the Mahrez drop off in price a little bit so that's why if you're looking to maybe flip any of these cards that are still alive like that's why I'm keeping an eye on Renato Sanchez because yes they are playing and they're playing Chelsea right so they're definitely not favored but they play tomorrow on Tuesday so we're gonna have more price movements on the cards that are active in these four games and the cards from Europa League and Conference League that are active in the next two to three days later on this week so that's something to kind of keep an eye on as well those are the cards that I would really hone in on and focus on because those are the ones that are gonna have movements based on their actual upgrade potential and we could have some of these items depending on who wins on these knockout games we could have upgrades by the end of this week on some of these cards right that's where some of the hype here is built in that's why you see Havertz rising up as people think okay they're going to win against Lille so Havertz has gone from like 214K on Saturday he's been continually bought up he's now 250 as this card continues to go higher same thing with Alex Tellez right he's not up as much but he's 265K coins he was 240 those are the best two examples right there of cards that have continued to rise of course heading into their games later on this week because they are a clear advantage there's a clear advantage to those teams to potentially advance so that's the one thing that I would be careful with and just a word of caution for these road to the finals but also on the flip side you look at these cards and you're like man these are road to the finals that are alive that are upgrading and you think about a card like Renato as well maybe his price right now is dropping off a little bit extra because people expect them to lose and that's why he's down 400K from where he goes on the weekend while other cards have gone up in price so it's a whole situation and something that we're keeping an eye on with some of these cards yes they're very rare yes they're very hyped but the ones that really have games this week those are the ones that I'm going to be focusing on and I hope that EA upgrades cards soon I hope that they don't push it off and wait until they all of the first round knockout legs are played you know the second legs as well hopefully they upgrade after the first leg and not wait for the second leg that's what I'm trying to say so hopefully they upgrade these cards sooner rather than later that would be a huge, huge thing for these items so just keeping out on these today of course we mentioned the bail that is dropping in price if a Griezmann was not to come today I know this bail is not getting an upgrade anytime soon because their second leg isn't for a while and they have to win that game to get the upgrade and if they do win the game then technically they would be going on to the next round as well because they're down 1-0 so if they win then you know they're winning on extra time or something and then actually I don't know how it works with penalties I don't forget how it works with showdown cards and road to the finals but an outright win if I believe that if in the second leg of the PSG Real Madrid in the second leg of that knockout round if they were to actually like draw and PSG would go through then Campembe would get a plus 1 and Gareth Bale would not get upgraded at all so you really want a team to win you don't want any draws for any of these matches you know again I don't know how it comes down to when you know I don't know if it goes to penalties first I don't know if they go extra time then it's probably got to be extra time plus penalties but I don't know if EA will upgrade these road to the finals if it's a draw at 90 minutes time but then let's say a team goes on to win in extra time or in penalties if that counts as a win I know for like some of the showdown cards in years past a draw at extra time or at 90 minutes would actually be a you know a plus 1 instead of a plus 2 so that's something that I guess will probably we'll run into that issue when we get there but again the main premise is we might have upgrades on some of these road to the final cards by the end of this week and also you know keep an eye out for these main of the match items just keep an eye out on them I mean some of them look really really cheap and I feel like they're undervalued I think this Christian Emerald card is undervalued this is an 86 rated Christian Emerald card Kutir Emerald 22k it's actually it's on par and it's cheaper than his 84 rated in form that has of course way to a plus 4 pace like what a boost that EA gave to this card so I think that this card is pretty cheap as well maybe he gets really low tonight during that squad not squad battles during the weakening rewards time frame so I might pick a few of these up because yes man of the matches are really good cards to trade with yes they are gonna be a lot more supply than they ever have been this year that's just the way of the market right I don't expect these cards to be super duper insane in terms of like rising out of packs it's gonna depend on the item but these cards are definitely not gonna be as rare as they were in years past but again that's kind of what we're looking at today on the market we're looking at all the cards in packs seeing how the market reacts after rewards but then of course after 6pm today and with icon swaps number two dropping I think that you will see some cards slide down a bit in value so again reinforcing that narrative that we talked about earlier this weekend a lot of stuff is still kind of like chilling some cards are down a little bit like Golden Bop is now under 800,000 coins and I think you could see these cards slide a little bit more I don't think it's gonna be a drastic sell-off or a drastic panic sell just probably a few cards sliding down a little bit more in price as the demand shifts if you will and people playing games where they're playing those games not with their main team and objectives as that demand shifts so that's the video for today it's a big day of content on Monday I hope for Griezmann I hope for the 80 plus player pick maybe some other sort of content maybe E is just gonna drop a banger day of Monday content since yesterday on Sunday was literally just the road to the final mini-release and then this Milestones Bundesliga league player Tommy which is not very well received I think with icon swaps on the way a lot of people are probably not gonna wanna spend time grinding that so that is the video for today boys again if you're excited leave a thumbs up for icon swaps comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new it's been Nathan Ford Account and I'll catch you guys later peace
