 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K.A. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. The market is booming and prices are flying, and especially on some of these path or glory cards, those investments are looking and staying as prices just continue to rise on those cards. But what I wanna talk about today on the market is, why is this market going up as much as it is, and when do we need to be looking to sell if we need to be worried about that? In the next couple of days, we have a loading screen to talk about with the next upcoming promo confirmed for Friday. And I wanna talk about content today on Wednesday, and especially as you're watching these path or glory cards, when it might be a decent time to sell some of them, especially as they've had these really big spikes once again, it almost feels like two weeks ago, right? When we had the huge insane spike on PTG cards, but of course, with games coming up every single day and it being crunch time for upgrades on these cards, there's a lot of fine lines of when to sell, when to buy, live trading with them. So we're gonna talk through that a little bit more today because these are the most high cards in the market right now. So if you're excited for the video, hit the thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's get right into it and talk about these PTGs and talk about, again, why prices are going up like crazy. Well, yesterday's content was a bit of a slow day. We had the two SBCs dropped Kova Chich and Throsard as showdowns, right? Not bad content. Kova Chich got a pretty solid upgrade on his card. Of course, you look at this and you think, man, with the plus two if they end up winning this game, this card could be pretty fantastic. And I think I agree with that. I kind of hope that he does get the upgrade because that'll be a really, really nice card in the game. Throsard also with an upgrade would look really good. I know these guys have some downvotes on foot bin, but 65, 70K for these, not bad. 82, 84, 83, 84 for those guys, not bad. But other than that, we had a kid SBC and content yesterday was quiet. So again, what happens to the market? Well, people go out and they buy cards to either try for their teams or especially with these path to glories. People just go out and buy because there's nothing else to do except for buy live cards that can potentially rise up in price, right? Case in point is Thomas Delaney. I mean, this guy yesterday literally went from 22,000 coins all the way up to where he is now at like 30, 31,000 coins. And it's all because people are investing on the hype of the upgrade just because these are live cards that are out of packs. And of course, Denmark plays today, right? Denmark is one of the nations that is playing today. You can see the price rise here, 24K up to 32,000 coins. And that is the story for so many cards that are out of the PTG teams right now. Even the cards that are not expected to do that well and maybe not even win or progress in the tournament or getting invested in just because of the potential that they could, right? Arajo, 170K going up more since yesterday. Zecharia, 257. I mean, even some of the discard guys like we just looked at with the Delaney going up from 22K to 30 plus 1,000 coins. All of these cards are rising. Bufal is up. There's another really like cheap card. Alda Sarri is starting to rise, right? 31,000 coins for him and even your big ticket cards. Like Goretzka was 700K two days ago and now he's 1.1 million coins after a Germany result and of course, Costa Rica beating Japan and then the live card aspect kicking in there. So with the games that are coming in today this is the stuff I want you guys to be very careful with. I know a lot of you guys have invested in all sorts of these cards. I want to talk about the French cards and I want to talk about the Argentinian cards. Specifically, I just showed you the Kutira Meryl card, right? And the Papugolmes. These guys are ones that are up so much and yes, they are expected to win today. They are favorites against Poland and if they do win, will they go higher? Potentially afterwards. But one thing that we have noticed with these cards is the teams that are favorites, the nations that are favorites, their card prices actually tend to drop off after a game. Case in point is Frankie DeYoung. His card was 570,000 coins before the game started yesterday against Qatar, right? They ended up winning 2-0 and his card went from 570K down to 540 and is now back up at 570. They were expected to win so his card price didn't really move that much. I think it might be a little bit of the same with the guy like Kutira Meryl and Alejandro Gomez and also thinking about how many people have invested in specifically the Meryl card, I would be somebody that if I invested in this card on the weekend, which I did buy a couple and I sold them earlier, like 100 and I think I sold it at 150 and now he's 170. I would be in the camp where I would take the safe profits. If you're in an investment, especially if you have a lot of cards, especially on a lower tier like this Meryl card, I mean, think about all the other Prem center backs that are in the game that are a little bit better than this card. You think about Ben White, that's in the current promo team. The hype with this Meryl card is with the upgrade potential, right? And the potential for it to continue to get upgraded. How do I search for white on the market? There it is, Benjamin, gotta go full name. But this card is 90,000 coins, which is basically half the price, almost half the price, not quite, and definitely better than the Meryl card. It's just not live, right? That's why the Meryl card is so expensive and we have more Prem center backs coming in the next promo as well. So for those cards, selling into the hype is your best, best choice and your best option, especially for the guys that are playing today. I know that Denmark are favored against Australia to go through. I completely understand that. Could Thomas Delaney go up to like 50K? Absolutely, he could. If they, I mean, imagine this card with a plus one upgrade, right? You would probably rise up in price even further if they were to win the game today against Australia. But even with some of the other ones, like the Polish Milik, right? They're big underdogs. So you might wanna sell that card in the hype today. That's just the safe route. You guys know this, we've talked about it a lot. But when the market like this is super duper invested in, I really think it's extra crucial to sell in the hype on kind of those super duper gamble cards, right? Now, if you bought somebody like Griezmann from the beginning, yeah, Griezmann and France, they're expected to win, right? They're expected to win on the early slate today against Tunisia, they're already through, right? There's no more upgrade coming for him. That's already locked in. He actually already has got the upgrade, right? So a card like that, if you bought it like 450K early on, you're not looking to sell that card today. It's more of the gamble type cards that you are wanting to get out and be safe with just in case their cards drop off like crazy and after a team loses or does not make it on in the next round today, then that's gonna be a problem for a lot of these cards. So that's one thing I'd be very, very careful with on this market. Now, I wanna take a look at Kula Bali because this is something that we saw yesterday and for these teams that are on the line, we're gonna use Delaney as an example again here in just a second. This Kula Bali, path of glory card is right now 415,000 coins. He was 320K at the beginning of the day yesterday. When Senegal scored their first goal to go up 1-0, 1-0, I'm pretty sure Kula Bali went from 340K to 400K plus and then when Ecuador equalized, he went back to 350K for a quick second and then of course, he scored the second goal to put Senegal ahead and then he went back to 420K where he is now. Watch out for these cards live in game. Since the upgrades for a lot of these teams where their fate of moving on in the tournament rests in the balance of a game or a result in these next couple of days, watch these sorts of cards. So like Delaney, I'd be watching that card today in the later stages. I'd definitely be watching Alda Sari. I'd definitely be watching Chucky Lozano because these are types of cards where their result and whatever happens in the game today and even in the next couple of days, if you look at some of these other cards is make or break for the live aspect of this card, whether it upgrades or whether it doesn't. Trading with these cards live is gonna be absolutely nuts. All I will say is this, sell a couple of minutes after that goal is scored when you see the price rise up, that is like the peak sell time, 95% of the time with these cards. And it's the safest sell time too when everybody's rushing to the market to buy the card. Let's say like, let's say Saudi Arabia go up 1-0 today on Mexico. This Alda Sari might shoot up to like 40K, you know, you might wanna sell, right? Just to be safe. Yes, could it go up maybe higher as if they move out on into the knockouts and keep progressing, yes. But we like to save profits, right? And that's gonna get you more profit in the long term, nine times out of 10, then gambling on it and waiting for a certain result to happen inside of a game. So it's just risky, right? So taking the safe profits is there, but watch out for those cards and trading with those in a live aspect. Now, we've talked a lot about PTGs. I know they're the most hyped cards in the game right now, even more hyped than the promo cards that are in packs, to be completely honest. But I wanna talk about Best of Team of the Week as well, because I don't know how I completely missed this and I didn't even mention it in yesterday's video, but Best of Team of the Week is now out of packs and these cards just keep rising. Tamori is 260, along with the rest of the market, these informs, as they got super low in price over the past couple of days, being in packs over the weekend, they are now out of packs and with the market rising, these guys are following suit. So if you bought any of these cards early in the week, just like we did with the rest of the market, saying it was a really, really solid time to buy on like Sunday night, Monday morning timeframe, these guys are exploding. But I wanted to kind of give you guys some backdrop and some information on why they're going up so much. It's because they're out of packs and these guys are still some really, really popular cards that are in the game. So that's kind of the reasoning that's happening there. You know, there are a lot of people that are invested in these and it's gonna take some sort of like SBC panic or a pack code or maybe a loading screen with something crazy about this upcoming promo to make this type of card drop on the market. Like I really feel like the market's gonna be in a pretty safe place for the next couple of days. So I don't think there's really a reason to panic too much or to feel like you have to sell seeing that your investments are up so much. Kind of sell when you're happy with the profit type of thing over the next couple of days on a lot of different cards. Just because I feel like we're in a really, really steady market at the moment. I mean, you take a look at even a World Cup hero, Captavia, who got a price range update because he was going extinct at 400K. He was above 450 I think for a quick moment yesterday, now above 400,000 coins and holding. You look at some of these icons, butcheregrenio is 1.1. Forlan is back up, Donovan is up. Morientes is priced, and you look at the messy SBC cost, 500K to do messy. That tells you about fodder right now, right? Literally just everything is up, right? 84's, 5K, 85's are above 10, 86's are 17. Everything just keeps trickling upwards because like we said at the beginning, the content is just a little bit average but there's still a lot to do with people crafting SBCs, getting their swaps done, changing up the whole golden goals scenario again. Only 60 games every 24 hours, which I think for most people actually is better than 10 games every hour and then resetting it. So Gigi's the EA for that. I opened some of my 84 times 20s yesterday. I packed Suarez, I packed Ronaldo, and I got a lot of good fodder and I'm working on messy right now and actually gonna submit messy here in a little bit and finish off that SBC. But that's what I just did yesterday and tonight in this game, grinding for the 84 times 20 times three and then doing SBCs with that fodder is what a lot of people are doing. So when you have to go buy an extra 85 or 86 or 87 to finish the team, that's gonna keep fodder going up. So until we get supply, right? Until we get supply, I do expect to see the market continue to go up on the fodder side of things. Although it might start to reach a peak probably today or tomorrow. It even went up further yesterday on Tuesday and into today. But I think that before we get to Friday, we'll probably see a peak and then a bit of a drop off on the weekend. Let's talk today on Wednesday, right? What kind of content can we get today? Could anything be released to shake it up? I mean, we do have a possibility, I think, for another one of these like pack challenges and we had Tunisia, I don't know what nation we next, but I think we could get something there. And then I do believe there is a leaked SBC that I think is gonna drop today. It's nothing super insane for most people, but I do believe the Walker Zimmerman Road to the World Cup card is going to be dropped in the game today. Just makes sense. The flashback down, but Silva is ending. So EA removing one SBC and then another one coming in. Just makes sense. So watch out for that SBC today if you're a USNNT fan. And then of course, we have this loading screen and a part of today's content as well, I would expect to see a loading screen update for the World Cup Stories promo. Now, we knew this was coming because of EA schedule and it was funny. Yesterday when EA dropped this loading screen, it said starts in nine days. They did time it wrong, but that is now confirmed to be our promo. I don't know why EA is starting off with these loading screens like three days ahead of time now. They're giving us plenty of time to know what promo is next. Now we already had the leaks coming out and we do have a couple more leaked players to look at. The leaks are kind of like slowly trickling out, right? We have a player or two a day. We got two more yesterday. Leroy Zane, stats expected. Another pretty big card, right? We have Rashford. We have Van Dyke. We have Zane and now we actually have Laporte as well. So Zane and Laporte were the added cards that are leaked. So very interesting to see. It doesn't really feel like this promo has anything special to it and we'll deep dive into it. As we learn more, hopefully today and Wednesday we get a loading screen with a bit more detail. I mean, this is a cool card because it makes a usually unusable center back really usable with a nice pace boost. So I'm a fan of that Laporte. That's a cool card there. And you know, Zane looks cool too. Hopefully a weak foot upgrade, but I'm just interested to see what the promo aspect is or is it just gonna be another promo? Kind of like the road to the World Cup cards are right now. We're the ones that we have in packs. These purple ones where it just seems like it's cool, right? Yeah, it's a promo and we have live or not live, but we have special cards in the game that are nice upgrades and stuff, but it doesn't seem as hype honestly as even the path the glory cards are because these guys don't upgrade or anything like that. So we'll have to see what the premise of the next upcoming promo is. And hopefully we learn about that a little bit today with a loading screen. So I'd watch out for that today as well. And then the last thing I'd maybe watch out for is that 81 plus team of the week returning. There's not a lot of SBCs that are expiring today, but I just feel like EA wants to make those 81 plus team of the week packs a mainstay this year on the game because they can continuously supply that team of the week fodder into people's account. And right now we don't have team of the week dropping every single Wednesday because during the World Cup those are paused. So yeah, I just, we're gonna have to see how that ends up playing out and how that ends up happening. So again, I'm not trying to take too much of your time today with the video because I know that there's not a ton going on in this game. It's just a good time to grind, right? Catch up on objectives, catch up on getting some gameplay in, qualifying for a week in league, getting your rivals win, stuff like that. And if you're trying to trade once again, just look for the flips, look for the rare cards I bought in a Bomb Yang in the low 320 flat, I believe, I didn't make too much there, right? It's kind of like slim margins right now in this market but you can absolutely make trades and buy and sell cards. I bought this Rune at 403, so I made a couple K there. I bought this Senaldo at 616. Just watch the fluctuations. Icons are really good to trade with. You're out of pack special cards that fluctuate a decent amount are really good to trade with as well. Just learn some prices. These brand new World Cup icons are good to trade with as people are trying out new cards and having fun, right? That's why I'm watching the Busquets. I know they're in packs, so they could be impacted by supply, specifically these road to the World Cup cards, but I would really keep an eye on these, like Mane at 529. If I see Mane at like 515, I'm probably gonna snag that. If I see this Senaldo go at like 620, I'm gonna snag that because I know that I could flip it for a little bit higher leader on. So just kind of like trend trading and doing that sort of trading methods right now while the market is high, people aren't scared to buy. So it is very, very nice to have that opportunity there. Now, I wanna say this really quick as well. I have picked up a couple Christian Pulisic because I do think that there's potential for his price to rise up. I don't like his movement too much post game because he went down post game and he really hasn't moved. He's been around around the mid 80s. I picked them up at like 84K. Looks like he's starting to get a little bit more rare now, but I don't think these cards are getting upgraded every single day for the performances that happened the day before. I think that EA is updating them at the end of the match day. So I don't believe that the next upgrade for these is gonna happen until Friday night or early Saturday morning after all of the third group stage games are played by every single team. I think that might be our next round of the ones to watch and PTG upgrades. So a little bit of a wait time from now until then, but it's only a couple of days and there's a lot of action to come in the next couple of days with the World Cup games that are going on as well. So that's gonna be the video for me today, guys. To be completely honest, keep trading out there, keep grinding, have fun. There is a lot to do. So I'm actually, I'm semi-happy that EA are giving us kind of a little bit of a time to breathe, a bit of the time for the market to breathe at the moment to work on objectives, to work on SBCs and to continue to get things done. Before we have a promo Friday that gets kind of focused on packs and new cards and all the craziness once again. So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. This has been Nathan Ford Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
