 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We didn't get foot birthday today and we got an SBC that we needed about a month ago and EA just kind of randomly dropped that in our laps today, dropped it on the game. And of course, there's gonna be plenty of market movements because people just love these icon upgrade SBCs. And that is what we got today, the middle icon upgrade. And now this has done a number to the market today in terms of fodder. I'm gonna show you some cards that I sold. Literally, SBC fodder is at an all-time high. It's higher than it was when the baby icon came out. It's higher than it was for Player of the Month Messi and it's basically, it's never been this high for some of the higher rated cards. Oblak, isn't Oblak 91? 91 rated Oblak was extinct at 110,000 coins as a 91 rated player. Earlier tonight, this SBC cost you around 600,000 coins according to the foot bin machine, which is exactly what it sells, 600K. Literally, everything has gone up in price today, fodder-wise because EA was very smart when they designed this SBC. They designed it so that it would hit all different areas of the market of fodder. Two 85 rated squads and an 88 rated squad. So you're getting 84s through 86s and maybe some 87s for those 85 rated squads to be completed. And then you're having 87s, 88s, 89s, 90s and even 91s for the 88 rated squad. So they're covering all the fodder basically from 84 and 85 all the way up through 91 and requiring it and making it useful. And you can tell the massive influence that it had on other SBCs today. This Bruno Fernandez SBC, which was like 700K before, 676,000 coins, it was 700K right away. 674K after rewards on Thursday. The man is now over a million coins. So if you did not do any of these SBCs right away, don't panic, like if you wanna do Bruno play the month. And I told people to wait because I thought the fodder could come down, but that was based on us getting the promotion today of for birthday, which we did not end up getting, which was a disappointment. So I'll talk a little bit more about that later, but this SBC is out for like 27 or 25 more days or something like that, you'll have time, right? The fodder will not get as low as it got last week, but there will be opportunities to kind of craft these SBCs. We're gonna be getting upgrade packs. There's a new pack that's in the code. So I'll talk about that a little bit as well. But this SBC that came out today literally changed the entire fodder market. Did it change many things across the market elsewhere? Not a ton. Icon prices weren't really affected by this. There might have been a little bit of panic around the 6 p.m. drop. I wasn't actually on to see it myself, but I did not see too much panic with that. I was able to flip an icon tonight on stream. That was a nice profit. Then, but just look at the prices of some of these cards. I bought Griezmann, 37K. I bought Aguero for 35K. Lewandowski was 33. Buschette's 36. Kielini was 35. I sold, I had probably 25 to 30, 89 rated cards. On my transfer list that I sold last week for 10K profit a card. Of course, today I would have been making 30,000 coins profit per card, which would have been incredible. So if you guys were still had fodder in your transfer list or in your club, these were all the cards that were in my club still from a club stock. And I cleared it out today because if you have not cleared it out yet, I think this is the highest that fodder will get. We're gonna start getting pack supply SBCs. I think the fodder just cannot maintain this high of a price for that long because I think people will start to realize this SBC is not that good of value. Seriously, if we go take a look, this SBC costs 600,000 coins. If we go take a look in FIFA at the price of the mid icons that you can get. And of course, most of this doing is the casuals, right? Some people are doing these mid icons. People just get sucked into these because you have the opportunity to pack and pull it, R9, Eusebio. But you don't, like nobody gets those. Rarely do people get those out of these packs. You get these guys. Look at how many icons are under 600K value. I'm gonna skip ahead to page three. That's where we have to go to find all of the icons that are under a quote unquote break even value for the SBC costs. Kaka 550, like the list that you have to get that is above 600K is literally not even a full page. It's like three quarters of a page you're on footpin. And then the other two pages are under that price. So you have basically a 30% chance, like maybe like a 25% chance if the pack weight was even, which it's definitely not. So you literally have, it's like a 5% chance of packing somebody, maybe 10% chance of packing somebody over 600K. So it's not very good value, in my opinion. If you wanna craft one, if you're foot rich, if you've got a lot of coins and you wanna craft one just to do it. And then be my guest. You know what? It's the time of the game to have fun, right? But just keep in mind that we have Tots coming soon, right? Five or 600,000 coins of a mid icon upgrade. That's a lot of upgrade packs during the season. That's the way that I'm thinking of it right now. But it has just thrown fodder for a loop. 90 rated players, Terstegen's 80K. He was like 45K, 50K. And look at all of these 89s, man. It's crazy how expensive some of these are. 60K minimum for all of these cards. Even some like Informs are getting pushed up at price because they are getting submitted as some of the highest rated cards. Lukaku's wants to watch. This card was like a 20,000 coin, 25, 26,000 coin card. And it was going down because of, you know, the Syria and competitions being halted, 28K. And now this man has boomed to 42, just being one of the cheapest cards as it's rating of 88 rated, which is just crazy. 87s are 30K. It's nuts. 86s are 21, 22K for some of them. It's crazy. It is crazy. Now, are these prices gonna stay forever? No, we're gonna be getting pack supply. This pack was added into the code today. It's a guaranteed, if you can't see it, it's kind of behind my face cam. Guarantees a rare gold player rated 84 or higher. It's right here too. 84 plus rare player. I think this is just gonna be just like 83 plus, but it's gonna be 84. What is this gonna require? In my opinion, we're talking 83 rated squad and probably like 50 or 60 chemistry. Depends on what EA wants to do. If they made it anything less than 83 squad requirement, that would be probably cheap in my opinion. And I think more people would go out and do it. If they require like an 82 rated squad, that would be very interesting. But I don't expect this SBC to make a lot of waves because when we get these upgrades, it doesn't affect the fodder prices that much because you're only getting one card and it's 84 plus. You're probably gonna get a lot of 84s and 85s out of this. And that will help you do like the first part of an icon pack, but you're gonna have to pay. If it's a 82 rated or 83 rated squad, you're gonna have to pay 20K to do one of these. 20,000 coins-ish or maybe like 15K to do an 84 rated squad or an 83 rated squad to get an 84 rated plus player that sells for 2,000 coins. The cheapest 84 is like 2K. Like that is really not a good value. So I don't think people will be doing too many of those. People might try, but it's just not a good move by EA. But that is something that I do think we could see today. Speaking of other content that we saw today, EA messed up on some of the objectives. So there's a rare player pack objective, which you basically just have to win games for and they messed up on some of that because supposedly before it was, you got the objective for completing SBCs. It's this one right here, but you get a 50K pack if you win 20 matches in any foot game mode in basically a week. So you have a week to win 20 games and you get a 50K pack. So if you play the game at all, if you're grinding icon swap still, that's a W for you. Or if you have more time on your hands because you're at home maybe because of a lockdown or a quarantine, then that is also a W for you as well. But again, the market this weekend, there's definitely people playing week in week. There's more people on this game. You can just tell, not really because of the prices really, but you can tell based on the number of active transfers. 2.3 million transfers right now and the dead of night is a little bit more. I mean, I've seen this before at like 1.5 mil earlier tonight when I was streaming, when it's usually around this range, it was at like 3 mil. So there's more people playing the game right now. And I think EA missed a huge opportunity today to run a promotion and run for the foot birthday promotion because there was a lot of people in tune with the game today. Friday, again, with people at home being quarantined and stuff. There was a huge opportunity for them and they didn't take advantage of it. They didn't run the promotion today. So I guess it's coming next week. Some people ask me, hey, is foot birthday gonna come today on Saturday? I just don't think that's possible because the only time that EA doesn't run, in my memory, they run promos and they drop them every Friday. That's their drop time. Monday, for starting team of the year, like they always start team of the year on a Monday, that's like the only other time that I know that they don't start a promo on a Friday. So I would not expect foot birthday to start today on Saturday. If it does, well then EA, I would gladly love you to prove me wrong. Prove me wrong on that because I would love a nice little promotion. But I don't think I wouldn't expect too much except for the 84 plus pack SBC. And I would sell your fodder because tomorrow we could very well get a pack supply SBC as well. Something in here that's just like a 25K pack or a 35K pack tradable that would bring some supply on the market and that could drop these high rated card prices as well a little bit. And this is gonna be interesting for fodder. For literally the next, this SBC is out for, it's out for like 20, 26 or 27 days. It's out for four weeks basically. This mid icon SBC. It's gonna be very interesting to watch fodder over those next couple of weeks because now fodder has some consistent demand. We saw these 86 rated cards at 12,000 coins last week because of the two for one packs. That's not gonna happen again for the next 27 days because if these cards would ever get that low again, people would realize, okay, there's still a icon SBC upgrade that you can do right now. And these icon upgrade SBCs are one of the most popular ones that you can do. People are gonna be saving their, they're gonna be taking division rivals rewards for the next couple of weeks on foot to in order to try to craft these SBCs. Like these icon upgrade SBCs are like addicting to people on foot. I don't know what it is. If you would just would look into the actual quality of stuff that you're gonna get out of it. It's not worth it at all but people still grind them and people still do them. So this is gonna cause some demand for these cards. These 86 rated, they're right now 22K for Thomas Muller. How much are they gonna drop later this week? Or if we do get a promo, that's gonna be something that we have to watch. Like if we ever get a chance to do a club stock on these cards again, if they get down to 14,000 coins, it's going to require some big time panic or pack supply from a promotion that would happen on a weekend for that to happen. But when they get down there again, we're gonna probably have to stock up on them because if you look at these cards from when the baby icon SBC came out earlier in the year, so the baby came out right here, 10,000 coins with no SBCs before the baby icon, baby icon comes out, booms up to 20,000 and then he chills like, right, boom, 16, 17K. We get a promo or something, he dips to 14, right back up to 16. Get a promo or something, drops to 14, 15, boom, right back up to 16, 17. So whenever we see these cards and this baby icon SBC was literally out from here until here, then it went away, then it came back again or we had foot miss basically or no, team of the year, post team of the year, SBCs, headliners, a lot of stuff that happened in there, but this whole timeframe right here that you're looking at where they stayed like 16, 17, 18K most of the time, that's what it's gonna be like for the next couple of weeks, for the next three weeks or so, that's what you're gonna see not only with 86 rates but it would 87 and 88 rated cards as well. Debalas, 44,000 coins right now. This is not a good example because he was just overpriced as a usable card. Let's look at Cavani, he was SBC fighter, boom. Goes up to 35,000 coins and like I said before these cards right now are higher than they ever were for a baby icon SBC. They went to 35, 37, maybe even 40K here. He's 46, 47,000 coins right now and he stayed high, he went to 27 and then bounced right back to 32 and then stayed around the 30K mark for the next couple of weeks while that SBC was out. So it's gonna be interesting to trade with these cards. I don't trade with high rated golds a lot. I like to do a club stock, sell them when they go high but these cards we're gonna have to watch the fluctuations on a lot during rewards periods, during promo Fridays and promo Saturdays during lightning rounds because these cards are going to be very, very good to trade with on a fluctuation level in the next coming weeks because they're gonna have that consistent demand but also they're gonna be good to trade with on the daily and you're like, yo, how are they gonna be good to trade with on the daily? What happens is, how much is Allison? It says Allison is 57K right now on footpin. What happens is the cards that show as the cheapest on footpin, you actually go into foot and a lot of times as long as that price has not been upgraded right away they're actually not the cheapest card on foot because what happens is they get into the cheapest solution and all of a sudden that makes their price go up because people do not like to do the work themselves they like to follow an easy solution. Allison is 63,000 coins at the moment on footpin he shows at 57. So, how do you trade with this stuff? I do this all the time with players during foot mis that got into the solutions and that got in there the most often. You're gonna see this guy like Allison get into the solutions a lot. Brazilian, Liverpool, easy links. I know he's a goalkeeper but he's gonna get into them a lot. Basically what you do on footpin is you look at the cards that are not at the very lowest stage, right? I like to do this with 87s during foot mis. So, Insignia is 32K, Mertens is 32K. Arangiz is, this is a man of the match card. Anytime you find a card that's out of packs that makes it on this list that is like one of the lowest ones those can fluctuate some of the most as well. Just a note, let's say Casamiro, 33,000 coins for Casamiro. It says he's not one of the cheapest. But you know he's two or three K above what the cheapest 87 is on footpin. Is Casamiro out here? All right, Casamiro is actually 33K. But that's what you can do. You can kind of look through this list. Let's look at Mertens too. Mertens was kind of there, kind of like not. Okay, Mertens is high because he's actually kind of low on there. Like Laporte. How much is Laporte? 33K for Laporte. Nope, probably because you need chemistry. He's a bit inflated 34,000 coins, 35K. Maybe something like that. Cause he's a little inflated because you need chemistry. But Mertens was, there were no Mertens that were popping up at 33, 34K. Laporte is actually 33K. He's probably not popping up in that many solutions because he's not showing as one of the cheapest cards on footpin. But again, this is a very popular and you know, actually not popular but just kind of an overlooked trading method that you can fluctuation trade with these high-rateds and you can actually fluctuation trade with high-rated informs as well using the same method, just kind of looking at which ones get into the solutions then they rise up because everybody uses them for the SBC. Then they go back down because they don't get into the cheapest SBC solutions. It's all about who's in the cheapest SBC and how that price fluctuates up and down as people go doing the SBC rise of the card price. Then another solution becomes the cheapest. People go and use that one and then this one falls back down. It's just the story of these two cards going up and down. So you're gonna see some of these like 87s and 86s might fluctuate, you know, in like the off hours of the nighttime and even during the daytime when people are on doing these packs. You might see a racket-titch go from like 19K to 23, 24K. Not a lot of big profit there but you can also just list these cards for lazies and get sales in that price range as well because people are doing this SBC and may be crazy to you guys but it is what it is. People love these upgrades for some reason. Please don't do this SBC if I could tell you anything and it's the casuals that are doing this again. It's the casuals and the people that, you know, don't really pay attention to is something really a good value. People just see the opportunity here to pack a middle Hullet or a middle Cruyff or a middle Ronaldinho but how often does that happen? It does not happen that often. One of my friends actually packed a middle Ronaldinho today so I feel kind of, you know, weird saying that it doesn't happen that often but I watched it happen today. He just got lucky, right? So if you're gonna do any one of these try to do it with as many untradable players as you can is what I would say because you're probably gonna end up getting somebody like Layman, Gattuso, Litman in or somebody just not the tier of card that you actually want to get. But again, some people think we're getting full birthday today. I doubt that we get that on a Saturday. It would not seem likely to me but I guess it is possible and I wanna make one mention about team of the week moments. Team of the week moments number one these cards were at their lowest. Like bail was 310K at rewards. If we get some sort of pack supply and you see this guy get back down to like 320 or 330 these cards, the meta ones, a lot of the like the SBC ones have risen out of packs but the meta ones that are not used as SBC. So maybe a Lengard, a Walker, a Alaba and a possibly Polinio but also Gareth Bale. These cards are gonna be great investments out of packs in my opinion because at the moment these are not getting supplied a lot on the market this week and whenever we have team of the weeks that don't undergo lighting rounds or a ton of pack supply SBCs they rise really well out of packs because they're so rare. So we might have missed the actual best buy time on some of those. We'll have to watch that today, tomorrow, whatever happens with content for the rest of this week but I like team of the week moments rising out of packs. We did get some more objectives today as I pointed out that 50K pack SBC. Not bad value, not terrible. Thank you EA. But it just seems like it was a missed opportunity by EA sports this weekend with the possibility of running a promo and just not ending up and going and doing it. So it's unfortunate but it is what it is. If you're doing these mid icons I'm opening a lot of them on stream. I would love to open them for you guys. They're fun, right? I think that's part of the addictiveness of them. They're fun because you're getting a very top tier player and you could get something amazing. So that's the pull to these players like getting an icon in a pack. People wanna pack icons and I think that's just the biggest draw to these and why people wanna do them so bad. If you enjoy this guys, if you enjoyed this video guys, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions or trading things around this video and of course, subscribe to the channel if you are new. I'll probably have a video coming out soon of me opening these just to show you that they are not worth it and will confirm your suspicions that these are definitely not worth it once you see the pulls that come out of them. But it's been your boy Nate, The Foot Accountant. I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
