 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. EA hit us with a nice surprise just a couple hours ago by upgrading the path to glory and some of the ones to watch cards a little earlier than we expected to see. So those live upgrades are in the game. I want to take a look at those cards, how they're moving on the market, and how the rest of the market is absolutely flying, to be completely honest. A lot of card prices are just going up and up with path to glories, with the cards that are impacts, the current promo cards, and just most cards in general are up in price with the content yesterday being a little bit lackluster and the end of the craziness of Black Friday kind of ending, right? We're headed out of the weekend into the week that really wasn't too much for Cyber Monday yesterday. So the market is very healthy once again and we're seeing some prices rise, which is nice, especially in the fodder area as well. With that year in review player pick that we had yesterday, you're seeing a lot of that fodder moving in the store. And again, with the packs that are in the store kind of going away. We have those big packs that are going away. You know, we've got the season one review pack is still here, but a lot of this stuff is expiring today. If you take a look at the timer, a lot of this is going away today. So it's kind of the end of the Black Friday madness. So that's what's going on in the game. Let's talk about it. If you're enjoying the videos on the channel, hit the thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's talk about this tweet, which then told us about the upgrades that we got with the PTGs and the ones to watch nation win upgrades to those cards. EA tweeted this, I believe that is midnight UK time, which is again, something that we need to know because that might mean that all of our upgrades are going to take place at midnight UK. And technically for the path to glory cards that got upgraded, this was the first like legit potential day that they could have been upgraded and EA was very fast with this. So hats off to EA, claps all around because I mean the fact that Portugal literally won like what, six to seven hour, not even that much like four hours before this tweet went live with the upgrades. That's a big dub. So fair play to EA for the fast upgrades. The teams that are through to the knockout rounds got the PTG upgrades, Bernardo Silva. Again, you see that it's a plus one overall. You get a couple plus twos on individual stats with each plus one rating overall. So Bernardo Silva got plus two defense, plus two physical, not the biggest upgrade there. And Kunku got plus two defense, plus two physical, plus ones all the way else around the card. Vinny got plus two passing and plus two physical, nice upgrade there, almost getting him to 80 passing. That would have been very nice to get him there. Griezmann got plus, what did he get? Plus three physical, really big upgrade for Griezmann's physical, plus two defense and then plus one all the way around. Paulinha with the pace and the shooting getting plus two, nice upgrade there. So check your clubs. Oh, Bruno Gamerich getting a plus two pace on his card, making him look a lot more usable. And you can tell, right? This was the instant reaction to a lot of these cards getting upgraded was a price rise. Now prices were already starting to rise into the nighttime, but these card prices have spiked since then. You can see Bruno Gamerich was about 290K, spiked up right now where he has that 324,000 coins as people are seeing these upgrades. And it's again, a bit, it's catching us off guard because it's a bit earlier than what we honestly expected to see, specifically for these Path to Glories. Now for the ones to watch cards that got upgraded, these cards, I mean, we were expecting to see those, right? Some of these guys had won games and had gotten kind of a clinch their upgrade for a while. Mane goes to a 92, no upgrade for Rudiger, but a plus one for Dibala, plus one for Delict. Sterling gets that another extra upgrade. Their card looking even spicy as ever with that 70 physical. DeMaria with another upgrade. Richarlison looks very spicy with a plus two, 87 pace, 85 shooting now. So plus two is all around for him, plus three defense. And then Gabriel Jesus looks nice. I wish they would have given him more than one pace though. I mean, plus two pace would have been nice, but he didn't get that, but he looks still pretty good. Antony is one of the biggest cards that got such a massive upgrade, plus one pace, plus three shooting, three passing, three physical, two defense, and one dribbling on this Antony card. That makes his card look a lot better from a face value, getting the 80 shooting and the passing there. Same thing with Chamani, plus two pace, plus three shooting, two physical, basically two all the way around, but with plus three shooting for him. So very nice upgrade there. A couple of other ones like Bergwain, Renato Sanchez, getting a pretty nice upgrade as well. They gave him plus four shooting. He is almost toilet gang. They gave him plus three defense. He didn't get plus four though. So again, if you take a look at football and you see these guys' prices, the reaction to this is that they're all going up, right? All of these cards have legit gone up in price. And it's even pretty honest to say they've flown up in price since the upgrades have happened, right? Antony, I remember yesterday when Brazil was playing was at around 250,000 coins. Right now this card is 274K, 266, right there, sitting on the market at the moment. So, yes, these cards are gonna be very, they're gonna be moving a lot today, right? And with the way the market is right now, it actually I think is, it bodes well for these cards to maintain a bit of a higher price, even though there's a ton of people that have invested in these cards, right? If you take a look at some of these cards, like this one right here on this Chamani, 12 owners and the current club, zero games played. That is a sure sign and basically it tells you that somebody has invested in that card, they have not played any games with it and they are listing that card on the market to sell it and to make profit. So, that is what you look for with kind of reading the market for a lot of people that have invested and a lot of the people that are listing these up, not everybody, but a lot of people that are listing these ones to watch cards up are people that are investing and they're taking their cash. So, that's gonna be the very interesting thing in terms of the market today that we're gonna have to watch out for and keep an eye on is, how many people are selling these cards as investments? Like look at this Bruno Gimmerich, they're like all people that are selling this card as an investment, it's crazy as I cycle through these cards here. So, there's gonna be fluctuation with these cards today. I do think there is opportunity to make some coins on them though, even after the upgrades, right? Some of these guys are down a little bit from where they were when they first got the upgrades and seeing where these prices are at now. So, definitely keeping an eye on that and seeing where they go today. But again, like I said, with the whole rest of the market going up in price, that bodes well for those cards because if the market's feeling pretty healthy, there's not a lot of crashing that's going on and prices are starting to rise, people are gonna feel more free probably to go and try out these brand new and upgraded cards. So, I would definitely, definitely watch these guys today. Think about the ones that have the biggest upgrades, right? You're gonna wanna watch Anthony, Chalamet, Renato Sanchez, Gabriel Jesus, right? Gabriel Jesus, this is a weird one. He's 170K, that's what he was before the upgrade, right? Jesus was 189 last night between 170 and 180 and he's back down to 170, right? And if you take a look at the sales history, you can even see that he was selling at like 199 right after the upgrade happened. So, kind of interesting to see some of these cards have like dipped back down after they shot back up. Could that mean a more potential rise today? We'll have to see, just keep an eye on the market of these brand new upgraded players. But in all honesty, this is good to know, especially, especially for the path to glory cards because I wonder if it means that EA are gonna start upgrading these cards at the end of every like possible game week, like of every match day, if you know what I mean? Because yesterday was the last day that teams played their second game in the group stages, right? So today begins the third game for everybody else. So we might be looking towards the end of this week, again, for a potential time for upgrades on path to glory cards from everybody that clinches their spot. Like, hopefully the US can do today, Christian Pulisic, hopefully getting an upgrade if US can win against Iran. England, of course, I have a Kyle Walker path to glory card on my transfer list that I bought for 700K. I think the way we're seeing it right now is it would make sense if EA were gonna upgrade these cards the next set of upgrades at the end of this week, at the last day that a team is playing to get into the knockouts and when the groups are basically settled at that point. So that's what I'd watch out for with those upgrades, but guys, it feels so nice to finally get the live upgrades for these cards that we've been waiting on and just getting hyped for and seeing their prices go up a ton is nice too, especially if you invested like, you know, if you bought a Bernardo Silva, even yesterday, Bernardo Silva was like 580K, Bernardo was now 650. I mean, we could take a look at countless cards that were upgraded that have exploded in price and if you're happy with a profit on some of these, then feel free to take them. I think that this movement on the market is gonna continue to push the other path to glory cards up because people are like, oh my goodness, these upgrades, they're coming, right? They're on the doorstep. So a lot of these PTGs have gone up a lot. Romero's 151, Goretzka's almost back to a million coins. So if I were you and if you have some coins liquid and you're looking around and saying, hey, where can I potentially get involved? You know, even the young and cool Bali have gone up 20K in the past couple of hours from where they were, just keep an eye on these cards and say, if any of these are like guaranteed to get an upgrade or basically guaranteed to get an upgrade, keep a close eye on them because I think there's still some potential market rise and a few of these that have some room to go up that are still maybe way down from where they were last week when everything crashed, right? Gomez was 600K, went down to 350. Yeah, now he's back to 415, but could he end up going to the high 400s again? Potentially, you know, that's the sort of thing that we're looking at with these live cards in this market and I feel like we have a bit more of a liberty to mess around and be a little more speculative with some of that stuff, just because the fact that, you know, the market is very healthy at the moment and we're gonna talk about this market rise in a second but that's the big news for today on Tuesday is these big upgrades, the quick upgrades that EA are in with these cards and I'm a big fan. So shout out to EA Sports for the fast upgrades on these. That's a big GG and I think we're gonna see more cards rising in price because of the upgrades coming later on this week unless EA throws something crazy at us on the market which may not be the case of what's gonna happen today but we'll just have to see. Let's talk about the rest of the market. Like we said, a lot of prices are going up. A lot of your road to the World Cup cards that are in packs from the promo team, those cards are going up as well and you saw a lot of the losses that happened and a lot of the price drops that happened from the past basically from Sunday were kind of, you know, reverse, right? Marquinhos went from the 800K range down to 500Ks. Right now Marquinhos is back at 680, 700. So a nice rise there. Shunmin's son was, you know, 700K. He is now, he went all the way down to like 590. He's back up to 640, 660. So a nice rise there. And some of your other cards, like I bought wine aldems at, what was it? Like 62K or 63K. This guy is all the way back up to 79,000 coins. A really, really nice market rise all around. So GGs, if you bought some stuff like we talked about a couple of nights ago at Sunday night timeframe into yesterday on Monday was a perfect time to get involved with the market. And I just think we're gonna continue to see prices slowly rise up because I don't know what's gonna make prices really drop today. What is there to be panicked about right now on this game? We do have a couple of leaks for the next upcoming promo. We'll talk about that. But really my question for today is, is EA gonna drop any sort of SBC that would make us panic? And to that I really don't know if they are. The only thing is there's a lot of upgrade packs that are expiring today. A lot of our big Black Friday SBCs that we saw on the weekend, like the 85 plus double, the 81 plus specific league specific and nation specific upgrade packs. The regular 81 plus doubles, they are going away today. And a lot of those other like 84 plus upgrade, the 83 plus player pick, those are all going away today around content. So I just wondered if EA would refresh any of these. I really hope they re-release the 85 double because this upgrade pack is actually really nuts. I did one of those yesterday and I packed Inform Cancelo in the first one that I did. Two days ago I packed YNAL them. So I'm a fan of these 85 doubles. I hope EA re-released them. But especially if you wanted to stack any upgrade packs for, I know some people are looking at these and saying, hey, I could hold those for team of the year or maybe for the next promo as we have a Rashford and a Van Dyke that are leaked already. You know, I think today is your last chance to get in on those because I doubt EA would re-release the 81 plus doubles today. We still have the player picks that are going to be available though. I do believe the 78 plus player pick and the 75 plus World Cup winners player pick are going to still be available until the weekend. So there's still potential to craft those if you want to. And then also today, the mixed campaign player pick is going to be refreshing. So if that's a gamble SBC that you were interested in, that's going to be some more demand for fodder today. So definitely watch out for that. I also think we might get a team of the week upgrade refresh today as well. EA has been doing this every single week. So that might be a part of our Tuesday content but I'm not expecting a ton of content today. So just like we saw yesterday, if there is any drops in price before the 6 p.m. content drop, maybe it's on like a World Cup hero card. Some of those were down a little bit yesterday or they weren't up that much, right? I think the next move over the couple of days, if you're just trying to make a quick buck and quick trade on the market would be, watch some of your more rare cards heading into 6 p.m. content. And if there's any prices that are down, buy them before content. Take that little bit of extra risk because people are always like, oh my goodness, what's content going to be today? What panic is going to happen today? I would just say take that little extra risk this week unless it looks like we have a crazy leak or a crazy pack that's been added to the code. Yes, EA could surprise us at any time and drop like that max 89 hero upgrade again and that would make this game go bananas and there would definitely be some panic selling for that. But if there's no leaks or no talk about anything like that, then I would feel pretty safe about buying before content on the days where you see price drops and then selling afterwards when we see the market kind of rebound a little bit. So be ready to trade with some fluctuations this week. There's really not any great places to invest on the market right now because fodder is sky high. 84s are over 5K, 85s are 10, 86s are 16. Fodder is booming and even 88s and the higher tier fodder is back up a little bit again because I think people just went back out and started doing SBCs once again. Yesterday, of course, with rewards, Monday morning, late Sunday night, these 91s were down in the low 50s. They are back up now to about 63K. Your 88s were like 27, they're now at 32, 33. So fodder is sky high. Really no opportunity to invest in these cards right now. What we really need is some supply. Like supply would be the only thing that would make these card prices go down. But again, they could even go a little higher today. And that's what I've been telling people is, hey, if you have fodder that you're still waiting to sell, listed for Lazy's, I think it could go higher today before content, maybe even after content, depending on what packs, what SBCs they refresh, like we talked about that 85 plus upgrade. If they were to re-release that SBC again today, then I would absolutely think that some of your 85s would continue to go up. People have already done a lot of these 85 plus upgrades, even though it's repeatable five times, I think people would be very willing to do it again with all the cards that are in packs. So some of that fodder could even go up further today, just keep an eye out for that. So it all seems nice, fun and dandy right now in this game because of the way the market is going. It's a big change from like two days ago, right? When everything was just dumping, prices were down like crazy. And it's nice to have those signs of life that we talked about in last night's video. And it's nice to see that happen. Now the only part that we are complaining about, and this is pretty big, right? We can't gloss over this, this is pretty legit. This is a problem. EA released eight more swap tokens, right? So we are now up to 40. There are 40 total swap tokens. If you've done every store pack, if you've done every objective, there are 40 total tokens that could have been claimed on this game. The problem is, and I'm sure you guys are aware of this, EA decided to try to fix their issue in the World Cup Swaps mode by limiting us to making only 10 matches per hour. You're only able to play 10 matches per hour of World Cup Swaps. It refreshes every hour, which is still okay. But what I think EA is trying to do here is to combat the gameplay ban that people were getting because of the Golden Goal mode. Somehow EA's game registers this first two Golden Goal mode as like a rage quit loss every time you lose. So if you lose more than a couple of games, or if it's more than a handful of games every hour, every couple of hours, you'll get a gameplay soft ban. A lot of people have had this issue, right? I don't really know how to get rid of it. You just kind of have to wait until it goes away. This is EA's attempt at stopping this. And really what the problem with this is, is it makes this mode more sweaty because people feel like, not everybody can go on FIFA every single hour and play their 10 games to get their swap tokens and swaps worked for. So that's the problem with this, right? EA's trying to fix something that is broken on their end without fixing the actual problem. They're just trying to put a bandaid over top of it and say, hey, this might work, right? Well, it's still a problem because it makes this mode more sweaty. People feel like they have to try hard. They get their games in on the limited amount of time that they have to play. And yeah, now just people don't like being limited, right? Especially when we have to play a lot of games to get these cards. Like right here, like six matches. Let's say it takes you 10 matches for every single. One of these, that's 80 matches right here for each of these swap tokens and upgrades. Now I know we're at all different skill levels in the game and stuff. So that's besides the point because it's gonna take people way more or less depending on where you're at. But that's a big complaint right now in this game and that does hurt a lot that we have to put that extra time in and have to rave about it a bit more and it just makes the mode more sweaty. But with 40 tokens being available, the Patrick Vera and the biggest reward out of this group is finally claimable. And same thing with the FIFA World Cup icon player pick. I've seen people opening these. Some W's, some L's. So now every single swap's reward is available. There's still more tokens to drop, of course, as we expect to at least see 50, maybe 60. The since they're 60 in concepts, we still don't know what's going on with that. But I'm getting ever so close to attaining the 84x60 which personally, I know we have a couple leaked cards and I wanna take a look at this right now and show you the two leaked cards. This one was posted yesterday. Marcus Rashford World Cup stories player. That's expected. So those are the legit stats that we should see on this card. Very nice upgrade there for him, for that Rashford card. Hopefully, of course, left wing, left mid striker positions like his base gold. And then we do have the VVD that was leaked on the weekend. So that's interesting. We maybe will see some more leaks for these players today, but it's got people thinking, hey, should I save my fodder packs if I'm gonna open those for the next promo? Now personally, I'm gonna open them because A, I need to do Messi. Messi's expiring soon. And B, there's a best up team of the week. There's icons and packs. There's a rather large promo team in packs right now. I'm going for it. So that's why I'm looking at all what's in packs right now. I'd rather take the risk and even seeing how mid some of these 84 times 20s have been. I'm still gonna go for it because of the potential that is there. And also because the SBC that I need that fodder from to craft only has three days remaining. So that's why I'm gonna open the fodder packs ASAP. So I'm working on those games as fast as I can. But that's kind of what's going on in this game right now. Again, the upgrades today are very nice. Shout out to EA for putting out those upgrades as fast as they did. We're gonna have to keep a close eye on these cards on the game today and how their prices fluctuate and keep a close eye on the PTGs because it looks like those cards are just gonna keep sliding upwards with how this market is headed at the moment. Now, if there's any surprises, of course, we'll be covering it live on street today. Twitch.tv slash foot account, check that link below. But if you enjoyed today's video, have a great Tuesday, smash the thumbs up, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate for The Count.
