 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. It's a Sunday in FIFA. It's been a quiet weekend, sweating footchamps. We did get some content yesterday on Saturday, but I want to talk about what everybody's going to be focused on this week, because it looks like it could be coming soon. Based off of the dates and what this next Friday is March 19th, that is actually the anniversary of the day when FIFA Ultimate Team was released back 12 years ago, 12 years ago, 2009, is when FIFA Ultimate Team was released. So we are getting ever closer to Foot Birthday, and this Friday would be a perfect time for EA to drop Foot Birthday. So we're going to start talking about that today, because with that promo comes a lot of stuff, and of course, since we don't even have it confirmed or whatever, this is all speculation and stuff, but I think there's going to be some cool cards that come, because EA rarely mess up Foot Birthday. Foot Birthday is always a sick promo, and that's why I want to talk about it, and maybe even help you guys prepare for it a little bit as well. But yesterday on Saturday, we had this content. We had a Lamar and a Rutiger showdown for the Champions League game that is taking place this Wednesday on the 17th. These SBCs are both priced around 200, 210,000 coins. Rutiger's card looks decent, but then you look at the in-game stats and you realize, hey, this isn't that good. 84 sprint speed, but 69 acceleration, 67 agility, 59 balance. So even with a stat boost, this card, I don't even know if it's worth 200,000 coins. If you compare them to Gold Van Dyke, you might as well just go buy a Gold Van Dyke. But the Lamar card looks a bit more interesting. Again, if they draw, it's a plus one boost, which I don't think they can draw. I'm not sure what the aggregate score is, but if the game itself is a draw, plus one boost for each of these players, plus two boost for an outright win for Atlético Madrid or for Chelsea. So that is kind of going on right now. We have a couple of what-if upgrades that are confirmed for this week as well. Sancho and Dortmund got their, they got two goals this weekend. So when that puts Sancho over the six goal threshold for him to get upgraded, and he's actually dropped down a decent amount. There's a lot of stuff going on with the what-if card today. Kante is down a bunch and Sancho is down a bunch post game. As we were watching this, it's kind of crazy to me. These guys have really dropped so much post game. I'm actually a little bit interested in this to see how low this goes for a potential rebound. Because I think people are kind of just selling this because they know the upgrade is kind of guaranteed and it's coming. And this supply on Sancho is looking really, really thin. So I'm going to definitely be keeping a watch on this card because I do think that as the hype builds into Wednesday for that upgrade, he could rise back up in price a little bit. And then also in Golo Kante and Chelsea, this card dropped off a lot and he's back up 100K from where he was. We knew this panic selling was going to get too low and bounce back, but Chelsea have only one game left to play for the potential upgrade for this card to Kante. They had to score three goals and that next game for them is not until April 3rd or something like that. There's like a couple of breaks coming up. So the next Chelsea League game is April 3rd or something like that. So this Kante card won't even have potential to get upgraded until then and they have to score three goals in that game to get this card over that three or the six goal threshold. So this card dropped off from about 2.4 million coins down to about 1.75. Now it's back up to about 1.9. So we'll see if this rebounds back up even higher, but this seems to be kind of where it might've bounced back up after the panic selling on that Kante card, which is very interesting. You had Benzema as well. Benzema scored two goals today for Real Madrid. This guy went to 370,000 coins after he scored the second goal for them. I think it was like in the 90th minute. Right now, Fuppin has him at 315, but that is not correct. He's 330. This might rise a little bit into the team of the week hype, but Benzema already has three informs. So I don't know if a two goal performance is good enough to get him a fourth inform. So I'm not sure if that's gonna be upgraded on Wednesday, but we will see. As for the rest of the market, a lot of stuff got really high on Friday night, especially icon moments. Some of these cards, I bought a Mane today to try to flip. I'm hoping that he gets rare again tonight on Saturday night. We'll see if that works out well for us. I got that in the low 1.8s, but a lot of stuff is fluctuating around. A lot of these cards, you're starting to see open bid listings. You're starting to see prices drop a little bit because people are selling their cards after the weekend. They're getting their games in, they're selling their cards and they're getting their coins. And of course, with this talk of foot birthday coming around, 5.18 for Pogba. If I saw 500, I'd buy that. But with the talk of foot birthday coming, that's got a lot of people getting interested in, do I need to sell the cards that I just bought for my team? We know the market just kind of recovered from a crazy, crazy couple of days last week with foot player days with the icon player pick SBC. But it could be, we could be in for a little bit more selling because I think people are gonna sell cards ahead of foot birthday. And that's why I wanted to make this video to talk about why that might happen and also to maybe help you guys prepare a little bit beforehand. If we do see a lot of price drops start to happen this week because I think you're gonna see people start to sell stuff. I really do think you will because foot birthday is never a miss of a promo. It's always a hit, right? And the big thing with foot birthday that everybody gets hyped about is the skill moves and the week foot upgrades. Five star skill move upgrades, five star week foot upgrades. I showed you guys the team from last year. You remember this team from last year. They don't miss, right? Foot birthday does not miss. And Boppe, Hazard, Griezmann, Rashford, position changes through here. Right wing, St. Maximon. Of course, this card was crazy, right? Five star skills, five star week foot upgrades for a lot of these cards. And the players that are in these teams are big name players, right? Sasoko, right? We looked through this team number one. Two week promo from last year too. So we had Pogba, Lacazette, DeMaria, Bale, Waka Yoko, Van Dyke, Theo Hernandez. So a lot of big names get into foot birthday and a lot of big boosts happen. Now, I think this is the way the EA will go about it again. Hopefully they do the five star skill move boost and the five star skill move and five star week foot boost because that's what people look forward to the most alongside of position changes. And since this Friday is the 19th, that is legit the day that FIFA Ultimate Team was first released and announced March 19th, 2009, 12 years ago. So it seems like we'll probably see some loading screens this week. We're gonna be talking about it throughout the week. And if your stuff is up, if you bought a team or if you bought some cards, especially some of these gold items, right? Like we're talking about Mbappe who I think is like 680,000 coins up from where he was when he was down to like lower 600K range with all the panic on last week. If you have some of these cards in your team, I would recommend getting them out early because as we get closer and closer to foot birthday, I'm not saying this Friday is going to be foot birthday, but if you can rock with an untradable team for a couple of days, that might be a decent shout. Also, League One Player of the Month is coming this week too. We'll talk about that a little bit later in the market outlook video. But all I'm saying is that when you're watching the week and the sell off this weekend or if you're seeing prices still being kind of high on some stuff that is out of packs. You know, some of these what if cards, a lot of people bought these. You know, if you bought some what ifs, you know, obviously we're seeing what happens post game. We're trial since down to 1.05. He was 1.2 earlier today. Dalvin scored a couple goals. He's even down a little bit from where he was. We talked about the Sancho and the Conte. If you bought some cards that have went up a lot since they dropped a lot earlier last week, it might be a decent time to cash those out. It might be decent. If you bought 11, he's 430, man. Levin Doss, he was 300,000 coins on Tuesday. Now he's 430. The young was 210. He's now 310. So I think at the moment, now is not a terrible time to take the coins on stuff that you might have in your team that is bounced back, right? This Mastoni card was like 170. He's back up a little bit. Some of these in forms, Raheem Sterling, 427. Veran, 730. He was like 650 at one point. Some of these, even team of the year cards, I would expect to drop. If full birthday drops a huge batch of brand new hype cards in the game. So I'm not telling you to sell. I guess I'm just saying look at your card. And if it's an investment, I would probably take the cash on an investment. But if you have a card in your team that you're gonna use for the rest of the year and you don't mind a little bit of a, a little bit of a drop in price on that card and you don't plan on selling it, that by all means just hold on to it. But I just see potential with throughout the week this week especially if loading screens come and even as the weekend kind of tails off, word is getting around that this Friday, March 19th is the actual date of FIFA Ultimate Team's birthday, quote unquote. So full birthday, it seems to be just set in the stars that it would be this Friday. So I know I'm making this video early and of course we don't know what's guaranteed yet. But all I'm saying is the stars are aligning and it looks like this could be happening and that this could be possible. So that's why I'm talking about this today. Now let's talk about other areas of the market, right? Icon moments. That is one area where I would probably start to see some of these cards that have rebounded up from where they were earlier in the week. These cards are probably gonna start to dip again and because people know that brand new items are gonna come to the game. Icon moments have been the types of cards people have been trying out recently. But with new cards coming to the game, people's focus are gonna shift to those. And these cards are obviously still in packs. Their prices on these cards always continually drop for most of the year because they just keep getting packed. There's more cards that come out. People have less coins till team of the season. It's just all about the supply keeps on coming for these cards. So a lot of these guys have really gone up in price this weekend since the Tuesday lightning round since they were very supplied and there's a lot of panic. You've seen a lot of these guys bounce back up. This McAlele is like 1.8 mil, 1.9. He was 1.6 and even a couple in the 1.5s earlier this week. So he's up a decent amount. You had guys like this petite who was down at like 1.4. He's back up at 1.7. So some of these cards, El Matador is like 1.25. This guy was a million coins flat on Friday, right? Just a couple of days ago. So if I'm you and I have one of these in my team, I'm saying, okay, I might want to look to take the coins on some of these cards that maybe I played the weekend league with. They were good for me and my team. But these icon moments would be cards that I would expect to drop off a decent amount. Now let's talk about SPC fodder for a second too because SPC fodder as a whole is kind of back to normal. EA have regulated that market back to almost normal. Now it's still up a little bit from where it was. 86s are at 29K. They were at 25, 84 rated cards are at 9,000 coins. They were at about seven and a half. The 83s and 84s have gone up the most percentage wise because of that party bag SPC that came out earlier. But you still have 91 rated players at 94,000 coins. 90 rated players are at 82K. So some of this stuff is up a little bit. They could drop more. We could see something like today on a Sunday where EA maybe tries to suck more coins out the game, putting out an icon upgrade SPC before foot birthday comes so they can again try to entice people to spend some FIFA points on this game. So if you are somebody who has invested in SPC fodder, you could take this chance like, hey, maybe I'm gonna hold on to that a little bit. See what happens this week with content. See if EA drops another icon moments, maybe not a player pick, but like a prime icon pack. See if EA dropped something like that into the game. That is something that I could see happening this week as well for EA maybe trying to, and this is who care might be a deal. Maybe it's not, maybe it is, nah, it's not. Anyways, it was, he was selling it like 115, but that's just weak and they sell off happening right there. So again, if you have fodder, maybe hold on to that a little bit. I'm not really sure what's gonna make fodder drop this week unless we get like no content. We're getting a league one player the month, maybe another icon SPC coming out of course as well as people gear up for another promo. So if you have fodder that you bought and you haven't sold yet, I would consider just holding onto it because I would think that the likelihood of that going up is pretty high, pretty high. I think that likelihood of that is going up or could happen with SPCs that could come out this week. Again, with player the month, we don't have an icon upgrade, SPCR right now that could push things up as well. And of course, EA keep dropping these random flashbacks for players that were just added to the code. Now we got a Cavani and who do we have earlier before? Joe Hart that was added to the game. So you know other guys like Goodsah or Balotelli or Quaresma or other cards that could be getting flashback SPCs pretty soon. Now I wanna talk about one thing that I just saw on Twitter a little bit ago and a lot of you guys are asking about winter upgrades still. I'm just gonna speak about this for a little bit because this is, this was going around on Twitter, right? And if you're seeing Klosterman right now on like the top of the, you know, up here in the most popular players on foot bin, this is why. So there's been some tweets about Lucas Klosterman getting a plus three sprint speed update, putting him at a 91 and that as for his base card in the head to head mode, right? So this does not really mean to me that we're getting winter refresh or winter upgrades. I know a lot of you guys want to know, is that gonna happen? But this to me is just saying that EA put a live squad update out in the head to head mode. I don't know if EA is gonna include winter refresh as a part of foot birthday. I don't know if we're doing any upgrades at all this year. A lot of you guys still want those, right? And obviously it's not really winter anymore. So that kind of stuff we're not sure about. But I wanted to kind of mention that because I know some of you guys are gonna be like, yo man, did you see these comments on Twitter? Like, yes, I see them unless we start seeing more. If we start seeing more comments like that, if we start seeing more people say, hey, these upgrades are happening and noticing stuff like that, then that's when I would start to say, all right, maybe we have something here. Maybe there's something going on. But as of right now, if it's just Klosterman, then I'm not too sure about it. I'm gonna keep looking at some of these what if cards though. Ray Charleston is down. Sancho is down 1.149. I'm gonna be keeping an eye on these cards because this is getting pretty cheap, especially for the ones that are guaranteed to get this upgrade like Sancho. I mean, he was literally 1.2 million coins almost all day today. And he's kind of dropping right now post game. I think people are just maybe taking their coins and just selling this card post game. It really does not make sense to me why this card is down so much. So maybe I'll try to win this one here on bid for a low price if I can. But that's kind of the video for today, boys. I wanted to make an early video just kind of talking about why this week could be a big week with the content that is coming, but also looking ahead to Friday. And once people figure out the Friday is coming, then they're gonna start to sell stuff because I think for birthday is a promo, a lot of people are pumped for big SBCs, big packs. Imagine upgrade packs and player picks during full birthday if we get a team like we had last year, everybody's gonna go bananas for it. So that's why I made this video for today, not trying to cause panic, right? Let's get that clear. Just kind of assessing the situation and trying to get that information to you. So if you liked this video, hit a thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot Accountant. Catch you later, peace.
