 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Guys, EA's back on their business. After yesterday's content, they literally just proved to us that one aspect of Ultimate Team is going to be more important than ever this year of EA FC 24. I want to break that down with you guys today and of course look at the market that is exploding as expected as a lot of coins have come in after squad battle rewards and prices are going up like crazy across the board. And then what's going to happen today on Monday with the market, with content, when we get our first upgrade pack, SBCs of the year, I think there's actually possibility for that. If you're excited for the video today, drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's go back to yesterday really quick because we did have content yesterday in the form of SBCs and objectives and multiple objectives. But first of all for SBCs, third day in a row of a player, SBC guys, Kevin De Bruyne, James Madison and now Truba Akpom, squad foundations card. And really all that I see in this SBC is a proof that the James Madison SBC is the best value one that we have gotten in this game so far. This car is three star, three star does have the 90 pace. You might remember him for his 94 rated team of the season card that we annoyingly packed like every other 85 times 10 just about a month ago on FIFA 23, but Akpom is a part of all of the players that were released with era to visit links also, of course, tied to the objectives. I believe it's in the foundations tab or I struggled finding this earlier. There's so many objectives and stuff in here now. I think it's seasonal, right? No, it's in milestones. Yeah, it's in milestones for sure. You go down and you find the foundations for the air to visit. Oh, it's all the way at the bottom. Yeah, sort by priority, sort by expiry. Okay, that's nice. Now it shows at the top. Okay, see, I learned something new about objectives today. Now, here's the thing you need to know about squad foundations, air to visit, if you didn't know already, it's probably not worth doing unless you're a fan of the air to visit. The cards don't look that great. Silicone, okay, a small left back with 80 pace. Okay, and then you do get a dry wedge card for an air to visit. You left mid with 92 pace, which out of all the cards, this one looks the best and it just doesn't even look that amazing. So guys, this foundations for air to visit doesn't look that great to me, but if you want to grind it, you can. And that to me was just kind of made a content. Yes, it was one of the most mid content days that we've had. But of course, we have to have those now. And again, not every day is going to be a 10 out of 10 content day. That's just not the way the EA runs this game. And probably really not how it would work. Anyways, we had some friendly objectives that were dropped as well. The Evo lounge, which I'm going to be completely honest with you guys. I don't think I'm touching this objective for an 83 times two. There's no XP in here. The 75 plus packs for winning seven, playing seven win three and win one. I'm not about it. Really, I would just rather play rivals and get myself leveled up for better rewards, work towards more milestone rewards or season rewards and rivals and get a higher division, right? Get my eight wins in per week at the first three, then the next one so I can get all the rewards I possibly can, especially with this weekend of footchamps coming up. But yes, guys, this weekend, footchamps is going to be live and active. We got to get qualification points up and ready so that we can get into footchamps for the best rewards possible. So I think I'm skipping that friendly mode. Personally, I'm just going to be playing some rivals this week to beginning my leveling up going on there. Now, of course, the real content yesterday was the market rise, right? And we talked about it extensively in yesterday's video. So it's not a real big surprise to see players like Rafael Leao and all these other cards exploding in price. Leao's 170,000 coins. We've been looking at him a lot on the YouTube videos recently. Rolfo is one that absolutely exploded yesterday, right? And a lot of graphs looked like this. You saw prices rising up to squad that rewards. And when those rewards came out, just like expected, we had a massive, massive rise. Now, Rolfo actually went back down to 40K and has just been kind of slowly rising ever since and just had another spike to 60,000 coins. If you take a look at some of the cards that are up the most in the last 24 hours, Rolfo is one of those. You've also got Cascarino, who I have a couple of on my transfer list. Debina, Inform Lewandowski, Pedri, and then some icons and heroes in there as well. Kunde is 170,000 coins right now on this game. What was Kunde yesterday before rewards? 120K. Guys, the market on the top tier meta is absolutely exploding. Now, of course, as we also mentioned in yesterday's video, there was definitely going to be some players that didn't move that much because they were just going to get packed more. And that means they're going to get supplied more. Maybe people were upgrading from a player like the Alex Balde type or I mean, even Leroy Sane, who I potentially thought about investing in because he did a really, really good earlier, like on Friday, I think even on on Saturday, he had really good fluctuations. Yesterday on Sunday, he did go from 11K to 14, but you can just tell that this is maybe a card people don't have to spend coins for as much now because they've gotten their coins upgraded, their teams are getting better. And a lot more people, even Chamele, didn't move at all yesterday on the market. A lot of people are going out and buying cards like this, like Diaby 71K last night. I remember tweeting about him, right? And he was like 56, 57,000 coins and he had a big time spike up yesterday. That's how a lot of the graphs look right now. Guys, even SBC fodder is going up a lot. There's a couple reasons for that. We'll talk about that a bit more later. But look at 88 rated Bernardo Silva. He's not going up really because people are using him that much. He's going up because people are doing SBCs, aka the KDBSBC really is what a lot of people are doing right now. So as of course expected, the market is flying. Prices are going up everywhere and we're going to talk a little bit more about the market into today on Monday as we get towards that portion of the video. Because I do have some thoughts about when is the sell time? Like we've seen prices go up. The project is going to keep going up for the next couple of days. When do we need to think about selling? Is it now? I really don't think so, but we'll talk about that a little bit later in the video. Now, also with yesterday's content and the main point that I want to make to you guys in the video today is EA really showed their true colors once again yesterday, of course, on Friday, we were all surprised when we went here into the store and we saw not just promo packs, but we saw a one hundred and seventy five thousand coin essential starter pack and EA up their anti yesterday with an even bigger pack. Guys, there are four hundred and fifty thousand coins worth of store packs for the first weekend on the game right now on EFC twenty four. And we only have a partial portion of the entire player base on this game. Think about it. The full release is this coming Friday, five days away. We don't even have the full user base on this game yet. And EA is selling out with packs this much already. I mean, these are crazy packs that we usually in past FIFA's like FIFA twenty two and even FIFA twenty three. I mean, we had the crazy five hundred K pack during Black Friday, which was like absolutely massive. But how many packs like this did we have last year at the beginning of FIFA twenty three like this often at this early stage of the game? We didn't have them in. These were kind of a thing of the second half of the game where the store packs were really crazy and EA is starting it very early this year. Guys, they're going after the bag. We know that he chased the bag and we also know that EA ups the level of the content year over year on this game. So it just seems to get crazier and crazier every year. I mean, think about it. We've got eighty three times tens in the first season rewards of the year. Like that's honestly kind of crazy in its own right to have that good of packs this early on in the game. Right. Remember when we had those preseason rewards that we're going to be getting here in the next couple of weeks from pre from preseason in FIFA twenty three over into FC twenty four. Now, who am I packing right now? Eighty four rated. OK, just making sure. You know, eighty two times ten seemed really crazy for that. But but is it really is it actually that crazy? I mean, when we look at all the packs that we have right now in this game, it doesn't really seem like it is that crazy. But I cannot believe they dropped this two hundred seventy five K pack. Guys, don't spend your coins on this, man. This is the biggest message that I learned from this. Number one, EA is going all out. They're chasing the bag. Number two, coins are going to be more precious than ever before at the rate that we are going right now, because maybe not as much right now, because people know that coins are precious and they don't want to go spend a hundred and seventy five or two hundred seventy five thousand coins on one of these store packs. I think a lot of people that are opening these packs right now are probably using FC points, so it's money out of the pocket, which is not bad. That's what you want to do. But spending coins on these packs is like really detrimental to your success throughout at least if you're planning on playing Ultimate Team for a couple months down the line and you're not going to put a lot of money in and you're running an RTG and you're wanting to be careful with your coins in that manner. These are not really good to open with your coins, because I mean, you have to trade really hard to get those coins back, especially at the stage of the year where how many people can afford these right now, even with the number of coins that we have. So guys, coins are going to be more precious than ever this year based off of the packs that I see in the store, because EA is going to drain so many coins through those because a lot of people don't understand. Yeah, it's fun to open a pack like that. But then when you don't have coins to do other SBCs, which also seems to be three player SBCs on three days of content in FC 24 already, they're up in the ante of SBCs and the packs in the store. Train coins are going to be drained so often and so fast through those different areas on this game. We just have to be careful guys, right? And I know we say this every year and it's something that we talk about a lot in the early to middle stages of the Ultimate Team cycle is being careful of your coins and just thinking through where you're going to spend, what SBCs you're going to do, what's smart to do, what's not smart to do and stuff like that. And it's going to be really, really important this year, guys, based off of all the insane opportunities that EA are going to give us to waste our coins on something that is fun. But if you're doing that all the time and you're not replacing those coins back in, you are going to run out of coins so fast. And when you run out of coins, there's not a lot of fun. So that's the biggest point I wanted to make to you guys today is just look at the store content, look at the SBC content, look at your coins and say, I need to be careful because coins are king like always. Now, speaking of SBC content, I want to talk about today on Monday because, you know, we love upgrade packs, right? We like to upgrade packs that are cheap, that are repeatable, that give us an opportunity to A, craft and B, maybe pack something that is in packs during a normal bigger promo. Now, of course, right now we've only got five different players that are in packs. So if we get upgrade packs today, which I actually think there's a decent opportunity that we would, guys, we've had what, 80 plus doubles and 78 plus doubles inside of the objective rewards. I'm pretty sure last year, the first upgrade packs, yeah, 80 plus double right here and the 78 plus double was, I don't even know where it was somewhere inside of here in objectives. But we had our first upgrade packs for ones to watch and Mondays are upgrade pack days. I would not be surprised if we had something today, whether it's in 78 plus times two, that seems probably the most likely thing that they would drop, maybe even like a 78 plus player pick is a potential SBC they could put out as well. They know that people like upgrade packs. I think there's a potential of that today. And I'll be honest, if the upgrade packs are halfway decent value, the SBC is right now. I mean, if you want to do KDB or if you want to do James Madison, which I would recommend Madison first, but I'm hearing a lot of good things about KDB and obviously a lot of people are doing KDB at the moment. I think the reason people are doing KDB is because the fodder packs and objectives are great. If you're playing the game, which today I'm going to be opening my 83 times 10 on stream because I'm 200 XP away. I'll get that XP, open it on stream. But it's that pack is the 80 times 10. It's all the rewards that you get from the mad ready, right? You get the 85 double and 80 times two and 81 times two. Some player picks and other packs along the way. There's a lot of good fodder that you can just get from grinding the game right now. Not to mention squad that are rewards that were tradeable. Yesterday, as we mentioned, fodder prices are going up, but just look how much they're going up. Guys, this is the graph of pop yesterday. Once again, 14,000 coins all the way to 18 K that we are now 87s are 12,000 coins. This is how much 88s were on Friday. They went from 9 K all the way to 12 K. A lot of people have actually started to invest in 84s because the content has been so good. A lot of people have started to buy 84s on bid at 1100. That is the lowest you can get 84s at on the market is 1100 coins. And I'll be the first to say, guys, I don't hate that investment. It's just going to come down to are you trying to make coins right now? Or are you OK saying, all right, yes, I'm buying a Lukaku for 1100 coins that I'll maybe be able to put on my transfer list. People are even bidding them up to 1.3 K. It looks like people are probably like trying to go unassigned and buy a bunch of 84s as a fodder investment just to hold on to. But it's kind of like maybe there's an SBC that EA would drop today or tomorrow to make the 84s go up. It had to be probably a player, SBC. I wouldn't expect like an icon or a hero upgrade pack this early on in the game. But if EA were to drop another SBC, maybe 84s go up. But also it could be like a week before those go up with, you know, an SBC for like the road to the knockouts promo that is coming. Yes, this Friday, no ones to watch this year, guys. Once again, it is road to the knockouts. That is the next promo that is upcoming. And we'll talk about that later on this week for sure. So that's an investment you could make if you wanted to right now. But let's talk about the market a bit more because you can see my coins are very down with the market being the way that it is. It's been really good to trade in. I made some investments last night. I bought some guru retens and I also picked up some some cascarinos, right? I bought some guru retens at about twenty seven twenty six and twenty seven K and cascarinos were about thirteen thousand coins. Cascarinos like twenty one K now and guru retens like thirty seven or thirty five. So rising nicely, maybe not as crazy as some of the other cars that are on the market at the moment. But for a lot of those guys, I think I'm just holding like, I mean, you guys know a lot of these prices have just continued to rise. And I don't see a reason for them to drop today on this game. And if we talk about the market today on Monday, normally, Mondays are a really good day for the market. But usually on Mondays, we also get weak and the rewards paid out. We don't have that today. So it's kind of like a quiet day compared to the last couple that we have had. We're definitely not going to see, in my opinion, as crazy as a spike on all cards like we did yesterday with squad that rewards the expected coin influx and also the packs that were open, making those prices go up as people went out and bought stuff with the new found coins. I don't expect anything crazy like this today, but maybe it's something just kind of like a slow rise throughout the day for a lot of these top tier meta cards that I think people are still being able to get coins and afford and they're buying and that's why you're seeing these prices go up. And a lot of these cards now are like, OK, now we're seeing cards get to the prices that they maybe should be, but still some of them I think are undervalued in the grand scheme of things. Like in cuckoo at 98000 coins being 10k more than Antoine Griezmann with the Chelsea Lynx, the five star skills, yes, I know he was 70,000 coins, but I still believe that in the next couple weeks, this card's probably going to hit like 150k or at least 125 or 130,000 coins, right? I think that's the true worth of a card like that. I think Griezmann should be over 100k. So I still think there is room for this market to grow. It all just depends if people are going to be fearful of what's coming later on this week, which I think as of right now, there shouldn't be a lot of fear around that. And unless we get some crazy content again today, which would be tradeable supply hitting the market in which even with tradeable supply hitting the market in the past couple of days, guys, with the packs refreshing in the store and even tradable SBC packs dropped in the SBC section, prices maybe just dip for a little bit, but then just continue to go back up. So right now I see no worries for the market. The only real worry you have is that people deciding, OK, prices are too high and then they start to sell, right? So for me, I'm probably going to continue to hold on to just about everything that I have, still make really good quick flips out there and try to trade some cards. I wouldn't be worried about selling a card, especially if you got something that's really cheap, right? Like if you bought a Diaby for your team at like 50,000 coins and of course now Diaby is 75k, it's like, all right, is Diaby going to be 75k for forever? No, but is he still way up in price and he's in my team and I'm using him? Yes, then just hold on to him. That sort of thing. So I still think prices are going to go up today. I'm not worried about that at all, but as we head throughout the rest of the week this week, we'll have to see if anything changes along those lines. And if people start to panic for whatever reason, we will be watching that very, very closely, but be careful at content drop today. There could be some more dips and maybe that's just an opportunity to buy like we saw with Rolfo yesterday, I believe, and this is on other cards as well. But at content time, she went from 42k back down to 40 and then zoop right back up. So, you know, stuff like that could happen today. Actually it happened with Sam Kerr as well. I was watching her gold card and the Nike item. I flipped the Nike item yesterday on her card. She went down at content to like 290 and then boom, right back up to 320 and she's now even 340,000 coins. The gold Sam Kerr was down here at like 274. Now the 303 just got undercut right there. That'd be actually be a really good buy. I think if I had enough coins to buy a Sam Kerr, I would probably pick this one up because 290, I can probably sell that at like 330 in the coming hours. Yeah, there's actually three of them there. But look, I'm searching at 330,000 coins. It's these three cards on the market at 330 and yeah, that's pretty crazy. These cards just keep going up in value, which is not really a surprise. It is just kind of fun and crazy to see them go up that much in value on the market right now. So that's the video for today, guys. We will be having another video coming out today on some trading methods. I know a lot of you guys want to grind. You're like, Nate, what is what are these cards you're selling for like a thousand coins? How are you selling them for this? I mean, would you buy them for a hint about all these non rares for 350? It's the SBC solution trading method. It's slowing down a bit, but I want to make a video talking about some of the best ways you can grind and trade on the market right now. There's a lot of methods. There's a lot of places where you can invest and move coins around this game. And yeah, the coin total keeps rising and keeps going up. And hopefully that is the case throughout the week this week. We'll be on top of the market. And hopefully today EA give us a couple upgrade packs because I'd be down for some 78 pluses, at least not just to pack the mad ready cards, maybe to pack a team of the week or maybe to pack like an 84 rated, you know, what's what the Rafael Verrón we were just looking at. What is Verrón's rating? Isn't he like 84, 85? Okay. But you know the potential of packing something like that or an Alfonso Davies, just in one of those 78 plus upgrade packs. You never know what could happen. So that's the video for today, guys. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up on a comment below if you have any questions. And of course, subscribe if you are new. It's been Nate for the count and see you guys in the stream today. Peace.
