 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I know a lot of you guys are wanting to know right now with the current state of the market, with players that you pack or players that are in your team, should you hold or should you sell those cards? And today, I wanna enter that conversation yet again. I know there's a lot of questions. I'm gonna try to tackle it today to the best of my abilities because this market is so different. The entirety of this market is so different from what we were expecting with the preview packs, with the pack weight being so high. Again, I didn't even mention it in yesterday's video, but it's like 7.6% right now. Pack weight on an 84 plus card out of a 7.5K pack, which is incredible, incredible pack weight compared to what it is, which is just really, really, really increasing the supply on this game. So I wanna talk about some holder sell scenarios and also, big news just from a couple hours ago, price range updates have been released to all of the extinct players that were extinct. It was just a handful of them, of course, you guys know who they were. Renato Sanchez, Martial, Lecquois, Klosterman, Kunde, and Upamakano. Now, some of those players are already starting to go back extinct again. Renato Sanchez was upgraded from a 15,000 coins price range up to 27,500 coins. He is going extinct again, which I think is good reason because this card looks insane and honestly, this card's probably gonna be around high 30s, mid 30s to 40,000 coins, in my opinion, after another price range update because people have not been able to get their hands on this card. And of course, it's Renato Sanchez and how overpowered is he in the last FIFA. Everybody knows that Renato was insane and they wanna use him. So that Renato card is basically gonna go extinct again, but all of the others, and again, this is what I'm gonna base, again, a lot of my points around is that this market and the supply is just incredibly insane. Martial was extinct at 16,000 coins. He got a price range update to, what is it, like 27,500 coins and he's back down to 16K. Right now what you're seeing is a lot of people who bought these cards when they were extinct who were sniping them and stuff like that, they're basically listing these cards back up on the market trying to get whatever little bit of profit they can and it's driving the price downwards, right? It's driving the price downwards with a lot of this supply. Now how do I know that it's people doing that? Well, you can tell by the number of listings, number of owners that a card has had. A lot of these cards here that are being listed up are second owner and that tells me that somebody sniped this card off the market and now they're listing it up. Now some of them are first owner which probably means they're either recently packed or somebody packed them and held onto them for the price range update, but a lot of these cards that are second owner really just tells you that somebody bought the card and now they're listing it up and try to get profit and try to get their coins back which this right now is kind of looking like a failed investment, right? With the price range update and the cards not going as high as they want to. So, it's a very tricky situation messing with price ranges and again with the supply, the amount of supply that we have seen on the market so far with preview packs and with the insane pack weight, it's just again made things really, really, really interesting. Now I do think that some of these cards could bounce back because Uppamakana was one to me that I think is the most intriguing out of all of these cards that it has price range updates today because if you think about it, there are three more Bundesliga center backs that look really, really meta that are now back on the market that were extinct before. Uppamakana, Klosterman and Lecquah. So, that means a couple things. Number one, there's three brand new meta center backs that are attainable to everybody on the game now that were not available before. That's gonna drop some center back prices and also it's gonna maybe make some people buy some other Bundesliga links to these cards that they wanted to try out, these cards that they weren't able to do so before. So, I do think that Uppamakana and Kunde and Renato Sanchez are my couple favorites from this set, from the price range updates but again, just with all the supply that we're seeing on this game, prices aren't really moving, right? Prices, the prices that are moving the most are on SBC fodder cards. People are going and paying big dollars, big coins for players that they are using to go and do the advanced SBCs because packs are so insane. Now, actually what you're seeing tonight is since these price ranges updated, I'm gonna refresh this page. You're seeing some prices drop. Erling Holland was 120,000 coins, 115K. He's now under 100,000 coins. Gomez was 52,000 coins right when these price ranges dropped, he's now 46. I have a screener that I quickly sold and I saw the price ranges update because Screener was up in price at about 25K. Mine had a shadow on it so I sold it for 27 and I got out because I'm worried for center backs on this game. Take a look at St. Jude's Day. This was a card that was very hyped up but of course with the three new Bundesliga center backs that have come on the market, this guy's gone from 26,000 coins to 19K in just about one or two hours because of the brand new center backs that are on the market, right? It's a substitute item that was kind of put on the market because it's no longer extinct that is now here. Foden was like 23K, he's now 21. So it's really impacting the market a lot. Right now these price range updates is impacting the market a lot because people are selling some stuff to go out and try these cards and as well as we're getting closer and closer to this Monday date when a lot of people are worried about the market crashing and with prices not going up very much again because of the supply, that's maybe turning my opinion to more of like maybe you're gonna sell some of these cards. A lot of these lower tier cards, I'm honestly looking at potential sales now instead of more of a holding process. Now, of course some cards still do seem very cheap and we have to keep in mind that a lot of people on this game right now are only on the web app. So how does that affect things? Well, it affects things in the fact that they can't play games. They're only on the web app trying to trade, trying to make coins and do packs and do investments, right? And that's gonna impact the market a little bit because you're gonna have some more people trading and there's less gameplay demand, right? There's less gameplay demand because those people on the web app that don't have EA play 10 hour trial or they've used up their 10 hours, they don't have any gameplay demand left, if you will. It's only menu. They can only interact with the menus. They can't do any games or gameplay. So that to me means that there is obviously more demand for some of these high tier cards still yet to come, which is why I'm still saying, guys like Timo Werner, guys like even Joe Gomez or Bruno Fernandez, especially the upper tier, upper echelon cards like Bruno Fernandez, Erling Holland, Hyunmin Sun, Veran, Ronaldo, and Bap-A-Messy, Abame Yang, those types of De Bruyne, those types of cards, I'm still holding those. I really am holding those. Now they could go down a little bit, like I think Bruno Fernandez like 160 or something thousand coins, 140,000 coins. I think these cards could go down a little bit in the next couple of days, but ultimately after that, I do think they're just gonna continue to rise because people are getting more and more coins, they're going out, building these better teams, upgrading their teams, and as they get on the game, there's just more gameplay demand. So I do think that lower tier cards, again, are gonna continue to drop off big time, and my biggest advice to you is with all this supply that's on the market, your best bet is to stay as liquid as possible. And I know a lot of you guys like to try out these brand new cards. You like to try out these guys that are hyped, and it costs coins to buy players, and you're putting yourself, I guess, a little bit at risk when you're buying a player at any time because its value could change. And if you don't mind losing a few coins because you wanna try out a card, I rate that, right? I think that's great, because ultimately do what makes you have the most fun. But with a lot of these cards, I really just think with the volatility that this market has, there's never been a better year to run a full and tradable squad. I know it's kinda hard right now, but if you just run with a really cheap starter squad for the first couple of weeks, and then as we have SBCs and objective players that are released, you can start to form a team together around those untradable cards, or cards that you pack from untradable rewards. That's really what I would start to base your team around. Again, I run up my ultimate team like this almost every single year. I'm obviously not a competitive player, but I don't look to have the most meta overpowered and usable players in my team all the time because I know that those cards move around a lot on the market and when another one comes on the market, a lot of the other ones drop, right? Again, look at St. Jude's Day, LaCroix, Klosterman, and Ube McConnell came on the market, and St. Jude's Day absolutely dies. Right, he's down 7,000 coins in an hour, and the rest of the market is even dipping a bit because of these cards that have come onto the game. So that's just my, again, little, I guess, plea, or not plea, but my recommendation for, use as many untradable players as you can because that protects you from losing some coins. Now, again, do whatever makes you have the most fun, but when you're thinking about that conversation of, should I sell or should I hold? Again, think about are you okay maybe losing a little bit of coins on this card if it brings you some gameplay enjoyment? Even though we expect some of these cards to still go up, I don't think you're gonna see the massive price boost and price increases that a lot of people are expecting to see on some of these lower rated cards just because of the amount of supply that is on this game. So higher tier cards, again, Sterling. A lot of people are asking me about Sterling. I think Sterling is still one of the best prem left mids in the game or the best. I know there's Rashford and Sun that are out there. I hear Sun is really, really good, but Sterling for 62,000 coins with 90 plus pace. I know he's only got a three star weak foot, but this is a really, really good card, and I think it's gonna be one that is maintaining the popular. So you can see he was 57K, he was up to 67K, just a bit ago, and now he's dropped down to 62. Again, what I'm honestly thinking we're gonna continue to see is fluctuations like this. Stuff gets low in the middle of the day, it rises up into the evening, and then probably drops back down into the morning for the next day. I think that's what we're gonna continue to see over the next couple of days, and as we get into Saturday and Sunday and especially Monday when all those pre-order bonuses are gonna be coming out, I think a lot of stuff is gonna get panic sold. I really think that a lot of stuff is gonna get sold off because if these prices don't start to boom, which I really don't see any reason why they would start to take off, then you're gonna have people that will start getting scared and they're gonna start listing their cards up and that's gonna drive some of the stuff even lower in price. So I know that does sound scary for a lot of you guys. If you don't wanna risk it, I think you can take your coins on basically every single card in this game except some of the top tier cards. If you've packed a Ronaldo, if you've packed a Messi, of course both of these cards are gonna be involved in the ones to watch promo, it's guaranteed already, and they're just so rare and so in demand that these cards, if they're gonna be dropping, it's gonna be short-lived and they're gonna rebound back after that. I would really not sell any of those because those I think will go higher, but some of your mid-tier echelon players, even cards like a Kessie, right? Always 84 rated, which is higher rated than some of this other stuff, especially stuff that is lower than 84. Like I'm talking the 82s and below, it just seems like there's so much supply that the prices haven't really started to rebound or to boom at all yet. I really think that a lot of that stuff is gonna continue to drop. It's not gonna be a crazy drop off until we get maybe towards Sunday or Monday. Then after Monday, it's a different story. A lot of stuff is probably gonna get panic sold and it's gonna go crazy high after that, but until we get there, it's just a lot of uncertainty and it's a lot of, okay, this is a lot of supply. Is there enough demand to meet this supply to make these cards go up in price? And I honestly don't think that there is all the way across this entire game right now at the moment. So I'm leaning towards sell on a decent amount of cards, but definitely there's a few of the upper echelon, the most meta cards in this game that I would still hold on to or think about it this way too. Let's say you have Timo Werner. We'll use him as our example again. Let's say you have Timo Werner in your team. Let's say right now, he's 47,000 coins. He's dropped a little bit in price. Let's say he goes to 40,000. Let's say he drops to 40,000 coins over the next couple of days with some supply, with some FIFA points, but then into next week, he goes back to 60K, 70K, which I think is very, very possible or even more than that, right? I think that is very possible for a Timo Werner card. Think about it in this way. If you bought him for 45K, you might as well just hold onto him, ride it out, ride through the storm, and then boom, on the other side, you're gonna end up selling him for a profit. So it might be one of those things where we do see a dip in the next couple of days over the weekend as people get scared and sell some of these off. But then again, people are gonna buy this stuff back after they open their FIFA points after that whole Monday timeframe with the pre-order benefits and a lot of people getting onto the full game for the first time. And we have a lot more, again, game play demand for people that have not been on the game yet, only on the web app, you're gonna have some more demand. I do think a lot of these prices will rebound. So that's why the hold or the sell question is kind of hard to answer for your specific account because it kind of matters. Like what do you value most? Do you value having the card in your team and being able to play games with it at a high level? Or do you value your coins more than that and say, I would rather sell Timo right now for 45, try to buy him back on the weekend for 40, and then ride with him for the next week or two? That's the kind of question you might be asking yourself. And it's hard, right? Because this market has so many variables than ever before. And it's hard, right? It's really hard to see this stuff and to time it and to figure it out. Now, the best thing you can be doing right now to make coins is just fluctuation trading, right? You saw that I have a lot of non-rares. A lot of the stuff that I've been trading with has been chemistry style, position change, and with just some fluctuations with some of these cards, right? I bought all of these Markows, which I sold them for a vastly crazy array of price. I sold some of them for like 3,000 coins, 2,500. I bought all of these for 700 coins on bid, 700 to 800 coins on bid. I bought all these Kiko Forminas for about 650 coins on bid. It's just small flips like this as people are doing SBCs. Their prices move on but down that are very, very good. Now I bought some Spinazolas for 12K, trying to sell them at about 15 to 17. Looks like with the center backs again, he is down a little bit. Have some other non-rares that are in here. Again, the number one tip I can give you is when you're trading right now on this game, always be listing your cards. I need to re-list mine right now, but when your cards are on the market, you can get lazy sales, right? I picked up this Romero for 7.5K. It had a shadow on it. His cheapest card with a shadow was going for like, you know, seven, it was like 9,000 coins. I listed it for a couple hundred coins higher, got a couple of extra hundred coins on a lazy sale as it's called. So always keep your cards listed up on the market because that means they have a chance to sell. So that's my opinion on that. Also speaking of non-rares, this is a big, actually big, big market change. Non-rares were maxed at 600 coins for their low, their minimum, the minimum has been changed now and all non-rares have a low of 300 or 350 coins per card. So that's not impacting a lot of the SBC, you know, like some of those cards like I was trading with Lala, right? I was buying Lala's for about 700 coins and I'm hoping that he goes back up to around 2K where he was earlier today. It's not affecting these cards really that much. So if you bought some of these cards, like don't be too worried that they're this low at this price at the moment or I got Lodiero's for 600, he's a rare, but you know, a lot of the cards right now that are non-rares, if you're trading with them, I wouldn't be super scared because all that it's gonna mean is that you're gonna potentially make more profit when you get super, duper low bids. Before with this Kiko for Mina couldn't go below 650 coins. Now you might be able to snag bids at 300 and then when he goes 300 to 350 and then he goes to 1,000, you're basically making more profit. So unless it was a card that was, you know, at its absolute low of 650 and it was basically minimum price, now it's gonna be able to go lower, which will, you know, lose some people some coins. There will be people that lose some coins on the market because of this. But for most of the cards that we've been trading with, it's been these non-rares that sell for over 1,000 to 2,000 coins. They're gonna maintain their demand because again, people are still doing those advanced SBCs that require these cards. So that is kind of the pulse of the market right now. I know that it's crazy, I know there's a lot of stuff going on and it seems like these cards just won't go up in price, whether it's the meta cards or whether it's cards that you maybe have invested in in terms of some of these big name players and especially with these price ranges coming through with the upgrades, the price range upgrade points and their bigger ranges, it's kind of like, man, where are the coins on this market? I don't think the question is where are the coins? The question is, the supply is so much. When are people gonna stop believing in this market and the coins and really start believing, hey, these cards are really not gonna go up and start selling. So that's kind of my worry, I guess, at the moment. I'm very curious again to watch out for some of these cards, like Upp McConnell, really curious about this one, man. I really am, because I think there's a decent amount of demand still for this card. He was at 18K for a quick second. If he went back down to 18K, I might get interested, but playing around with this supply is, yeah, he's even dropping a little bit more now as people keep relisting these cards. It's really gonna be a telltale sign as we wake up today into Friday, what people's motivations are. Do they wanna try these cards out or are they gonna let them fall back down to where they were? Now, as I'm speaking of Friday, just one really quick note, couple SBCs, we could have our first player SBC today. People are talking about Player of the Month, maybe Antonio, maybe Holland, maybe Mbappe, because all three of those players have been confirmed to be Player of the Month for their respective leagues. I don't know if we're gonna get a player of the month SBC today. I feel like it might be a bit soon, so if you're investing for some of that, just be careful, be careful with that, because I do think it still might be a little bit early with not very many people on the game. We had Markey matchups yesterday, which does give out some decent packs. It's not that expensive to do, so if you haven't given that a shot yet, I'll probably do that here in the next couple of days, but I'm not really expecting a big day of content. We had a couple new objectives yesterday, so if you wanna spend your 10-hour time on the early access or new beginnings, foot-friendly, the new beginnings one, you get some untradable packs, a nice prime Electrum Players pack for four wins, four games, if you can win all four for a shot. So, I mean, the content right now isn't flowing like we're used to. At the end of FIFA 21, of course, we had SBCs all the time. Right now, EA's just kinda given people some, I guess, time to get involved with the game, play the game a little bit, and in reality, again, we have to remember that there's only a small percentage point of the population that is actually on this game right now, and a lot of people haven't even been able to log on yet. So, again, today's gonna be a very interesting day. More preview packs, it's gonna move the market around a little bit more, you're gonna see more supply, more prices moving, and keep trading, right, keep grinding. I know it sometimes is very easy to lose, lose your grinding, your motivation, but a couple trades later, and you might be going from feeling like you're down and can't make coins to feeling really, really good. 450,000 coins, literally, I woke up yesterday with 100,000 coins transfer profit. Today alone, we've made 350,000 coins. Again, no FIFA points, no money spent. I feel pretty good, right? Those SBC cards and trading with those players with chemistry styles and those meta cards and doing the quick flips has granted me a decent amount of coins. So, I'm feeling really, really good about that. I know I've got a lot of coins and a lot of cards right now so it looks like I don't have it that much, but we're rolling, man. It's one of my best starts to FIFA in the past couple of years, being able to put much more time into it than I ever have before, but I will stop rambling. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this video today. Hopefully it helped you out a little bit. Just kinda get a pulse again of where this market is at and how it feels at the moment. If you enjoyed it, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Fodercow and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
