 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It's a Friday at FIFA 21. We're not entirely sure what kind of content that we are gonna get, but I've got some ideas. I'm gonna take us through why I think we might get team of the season voting today alongside of maybe another icon, SBC. Also talk about the potential of team of the knockout stage coming, what that could mean for the game if it does come out, if EA surprise us with that promo. And also just talking about timeframe as we are literally now supposedly one week away from team of the season, which should be released next Friday. And because of that thought, that team of the season should be next Friday, we might be seeing a tweet from EA about the community team of the season vote. And I think this is the most likely thing that we will see today on the game is the vote starting for community team of the season. Now, of course, last year, this came as a huge surprise. We got this loading screen kind of showing the team of the season so far as they called it last year promo and kind of teasing that to us and saying, hey, this promo is gonna be coming soon. Let's vote, right? Last year we did a vote for community team of the season. I expect that to be the same this year. That's how they've been doing it. It's really cool, right? They dropped the links on Foothead and FootWiz and also they kind of show us what team of the season is gonna look like. And I think this is the most likely type of content that we could have. Now, if you check the dates, this was last year on April 17th. So basically one year ago and with the start date of team of the season being quote unquote leaked already for April 24th, I think, or 23rd of this year, 23rd next Friday is the supposed start time for team of the season. It would make sense today for EA to drop this voting and possibly the first team of the season loading screen on FIFA 21. Now, I wanna talk about if this could cause panic because of course last year, it caused a ton of panic but this year it's a little different. So I wanna talk about that but also just go to show why I think it could be coming today. Very reliable source. My man Weaver is inside some of the EA websites looking at the code, you know, the HTML or whatever it is, I guess. He has seen some updates for the team of the season community vote which we would expect to see around this time but I really think it would make sense if they either dropped it today or maybe potentially on Monday but I really feel like today could be that time. Now, of course, last year they dropped this website as well kind of explaining what team of the season was. Now, of course, last year again was different because we had the whole so far thing kind of wrapped around in that because of course football was on pause with COVID but again, what this vote usually is is that there's a short list and then you select 23 different players and then of course it has some criteria, right? There has to be more than two goalkeepers and more than six defenders, more than six midfielders and more than three forwards but also less than five per league in your community team of the season vote. So we had one week to do this on the Foothead and the FootWiz websites and again, I think that's the most likely type of content that we could be seeing today on FIFA. Now, let's say they do drop something like that, right? The timing checks out, it just makes sense if team of the season actually is gonna be next Friday. What's that gonna do to the market? Because a lot of the market is really high right now and you've seen prices, okay, really high, I'll rephrase that. The market is up from where we have been because a lot of prices were very, very, very low and they have kind of gone back up. Now, I bought some Fattis today at 1.22 and 1.24, he's up over 100,000 coins, that's a GG. This Raul was a million coins flat this morning, he's up to 1.1, Fris Mani was like 960, he's up at 1.1 and you've seen a really nice bounce back on this market, icons, special cards, even your guys like Golden Bappe, Gold Neymar, Gold Cristiano Ronaldo are up, right? Neymar was 260, 255 at his lowest, he's back at 300K and Bappe is up about 45,000 coins as well. Oh, and Tolisso just got upgraded. Okay, so that was one other thing I was gonna talk about. Neres and Jekko were both gonna get plus ones because Iax and Roma drew in the game yesterday on Thursday, so that means they're both getting plus ones. It doesn't matter that Roma is going through to the next round, it's all about that specific game. So as you can see, Tolisso got that plus two and that Neres and Jekko are both gonna get plus one. So if this happened yesterday or tonight, then I would probably expect the Neres upgrade to happen on Saturday, maybe late tonight, Friday or Saturday and we'll talk about Saturday just a tiny bit, maybe at the end of the video too, but we should have those plus one upgrades coming soon. But again, regardless, you've seen a lot of the market bounce back. This Puskas was like 1.7 mil, he's back up about 100K, this Bruno was 950, he's back up to 1.1 almost and you're seeing a lot of this market bounce back because it's not looking like we're getting a full-fledged promo this weekend and of course, with a decent team of the week that is out, there's a little bit extra demand to play week in week to get that same maximum, maybe in your extra red picks or to get that pug butt or even the Marusic card that everybody's going bananas for. You've got the extra week in the plus player picks. So with nothing really to do on this game, except that prime icon, if you're trying to do, make those packs, if you're crafting them somehow, I don't know if you're doing like BPM, the gold upgrade, there's no upgrade packs out right now. So a lot of people are maybe stacking packs for a team of the season, you're doing league SBCs and stuff like that, but other than that, the game is a little bit quieter than it has been, so that's why you see the market bouncing back pretty nicely. So if we do get some sort of loading screen today, do I think we're going to see panic? Now in my opinion, I think there might be a little bit of panic, but still, seeing a community team of the season vote would just kind of lock in what we already know. We already know that team of the season is going to be most likely next Friday, a week from today. So I don't think that's really going to cause that much panic. Now last year, as I was mentioning how things were different, last year it caused tons of panic. Now if you're looking at some of the graphs from last year, you're going to see the huge drop offs on this actual date, and I'm going to take a look at this Vardy right now, because that Vardy is down like 50K, but last year when they released that loading screen and the vote, people sold everything, right? Because that was the first rumors of team of the season and it was really just sprung on us in the moment that we were actually going to get team of the season. All right, that Vardy got bought. 600K fly for this is really cheap. He's usually like 660, 670. Anyways, I don't think you're going to see that sort of crazy panic today. Now do I think you'll see a bit of a drop off? I think there's potential for it. Yes, because some of the casual user base that really has no idea about Twitter accounts, that leak information, they would have no idea that team of the season is really even confirmed, right? So you might see some people more in the casual user base, sell cards a little bit, and basically all that I would feel like a loading screen today and the vote starting would do is maybe drop the market a little bit, but I feel like so many people are already trading with or sorry, playing with untradable squads that it really wouldn't impact the market that much. You would see more of a sell off on the weekend leak sell off, right? The Saturday night into the Sunday, that's when you would see the prices really drop off again, maybe to some of the lows that we saw on Wednesday with that icon pack releasing is just people would make sure to get all their coins ready, they would get liquid, and they would be ready for team of the season coming that next Friday. So that's why in my opinion, I don't know if it'll cause a ton of panic. Now, yes it could, and so if you think that it could cause a little bit of panic and some prices to drop, my recommendation would be, and I'm gonna be doing this, I'm probably gonna be going full liquid in the morning on Friday this morning. Now I've got one more FATI to sell, obviously gonna take my coins here on this one, already up over 100,000 coins, gonna be big money on this. I've got two Vandikes that I bought at 300K, this guy is really not rebounding up, so I'm trying to maybe get this out at tax loss. I think he's like 315K, so maybe we'll break even on that, and I bought this Holland at 440, so all in all, we will have over five million coins when we're full liquid, but I think that it might be smart if you don't wanna risk it today, and if you do go full liquid today, there's gonna be opportunities to trade, so I bought this Holland at 385, he's still about 410,000 coins, so not really up that much, but even if there is a loading screen today or if there's no loading screen, you're still gonna see fluctuations on the market because some people are gonna be expecting something to happen today on Friday as well, and they're gonna be selling a little bit into the content drop. I think that I would not be surprised if you see some prices hit their absolute highest, like right now when I'm recording this video, late night, Thursday night, early Friday morning, so when you're waking up and watching this video, if some stuff that you have is really high, like this What If for Charleston was 360,000 coins earlier today, he is up literally 100,000 coins at 460 right now. Now I'm not sure if that's actually gonna sell, but that's just a testament to kind of what is going around the market right now, so if you're up really high on some cards, if you were trading with some stuff, take the coins would be my 100% recommendation and then see what happens at 6 p.m. with the content drop and go from there. Now speaking of what else could happen at the content drop today, I think that we still are due one more icon upgrade SBC, and if EA dropped an SBC today, it would be a non-repeatable, one-time completable SBC. I should be a rap or something, one-time non-repeated, wait, nevermind, anyways. I think that we are gonna get that prime icon moments upgrade SBC because that is an SBC that has been added into the code and it's been out for a while, right? It's been out for, I think actually a month. They added it when they added the swaps packs, it's still available and it has not been released yet and every single time that we have had a repeatable icon upgrade out this year, there's also been a non-repeatable one that has been released with it. So I think there's a possibility that they could release that today. Now I would expect that to have a price tag of probably somewhere around 700,000 coins. It'd be a bit more expensive because it's the first time that moment SBC has been released. It's a one-time non-repeatable SBC. So that is one thing that I could see happening today. Now what would that do for the market? That might drop some of the market as well and I think that would really start another uptick in SBC fodder because what we've seen with fodder so far is, you know, it's gone up a little bit, right? This is a graph from what happened yesterday. Fodder was rising after rewards. It got to a peak right before a content drop and it dropped off because of Barkey Matchup's tradable supply and now it's rebounding back as people are continuing to do the prime icon repeatable SBC. You've got 83s that are up at about 3K apiece. That's pretty high. 86 rates are up, two, three, 4,000 coins from where they were. So as long as we don't have a lot of tradable pack supply today, which if there's no promo, I don't really see a lot of that happening, then you might see some of this fodder continue to rise up, whether there is content or whether there's not. Even if there's no content today, people are still gonna be going and doing that prime repeatable SBC or if we get some sort of player SBC today, you might see some of this uptick a little bit. So if you're somebody who is holding that fodder, I would expect to see it maybe go a little bit higher today unless EA dropped something crazy on us. So that's kind of what I'm feeling today. I do feel like we're gonna get some sort of other icon SBC and you might see more demand for those high rated fodder cards, especially some of the higher tier, like the 88s, 89s and aboves. Those haven't moved too much, maybe a little bit, but those haven't moved as much because the SBC rankings are only like 86, 85, 83, they're up a little bit, but not up a ton. So that's kind of how I'm feeling about that. Now I'll talk just a second about team and knockout stage and I wanna point this out too. Somebody was saying, hey, we don't have a team and knockout stage card design in the pack code. That means we're not getting a promo. That's not entirely true because they could use the team of the group stage promo design because that promo design is called team of the tournament, I believe. If you technically look at it, it's UEFA Champions League team of the tournament and they could release another team in the tournament today kind of out of nowhere if they really wanted to because they don't have to add a new card design. But I also feel like we would have seen some people tweeting about that, potentially some leaks and all that good stuff. So I'm not expecting this today, especially with the week in league plus player picks. Usually we don't get those and a promo at the same time. So again, I'm not expecting team and knockout stage today. Could it come as a surprise though? Potentially it could. So again, what I'm really expecting today on Friday is for us to get a loading screen with the vote of team of the season. And if that does not come today, then I'm guessing that the leaks that we had are gonna be meaning that vote starts on the 23rd. But I really feel like that the tots is starting on the 23rd and that we are gonna see the vote today. Again, that just keeps us in line with the Euros being the summer and some of the season's ending. I feel like that is gonna be where the dates will kind of fall with this promo and with content dropping this weekend. So that's kind of my opinion on what could be happening this weekend and today specifically in FIFA 21 with kind of not really a guaranteed promo coming and just the market being risen up a little bit from where it was in the mid week and you're seeing some good prices where you can cash out on some stuff. Keep holding on that fodder if you have it. But those are my thoughts of what could be coming today inside of FIFA. Now one quick note about Saturday. You guys maybe are asking about Road to the Finals. If we get no content today or if there is panic selling at all today, look out for Road to the Finals that are going to be upgraded on Saturday. They've been doing this every Saturday. They used to do it late Friday nights but now they're doing it Saturdays at 6 p.m. Gabrielle Hayes-Juice, Ed and Hazard, of course the PSG players like Draxler and Icardi and even the Europa League players, Rashford, Pugba, those types of Road to the Finals that are even down right now in price. Watch out for these ones that are getting upgraded because if there is no content, you might see some people go out and buy these up before the upgrade happens for Saturday and also keep an eye out if there is content for some panic selling on those because that could be a great time to buy them on the dip and then sell them as the hype builds into Saturday. So that's one thing I wanted to mention as well, potentially more and I would think it's pretty certain we would get more Europa League man of the matches and Champions League man of the matches on Saturday as well. So along with the Jekyll and the Nerys upgrade, that could be coming for us on Saturday if we don't have a lot of content today on Friday. So that's my opinion of what's going to be happening on the market today on Friday. If you guys have any questions, drop them down below.
