 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Winter Wild Cards is coming this Friday, but of course, first, we've got the SWAPS program that is now live in FIFA 23. We had the drop yesterday of two different tokens, one for free and one in an SBC, and the rewards are already live. I wanna take you guys through this brand new SWAPS program, talk about the best possible value from the token grind, how many tokens there's gonna be, and what this might look like and how people are already redeeming tokens for SWAPS because there was a very, very cheap and kind of decent value option presented to us a part of this SWAPS reward. So I wanna take a look at that and of course, what to expect going forward from the SWAPS program because it's always kind of different when we have a big SWAPS program like this going on. Now of course, it's different right now because we still have the World Cup SWAPS that is ongoing as well for another 15 days. So that whole SWAP situation is very interesting at the moment. I wanna talk about the market as well because guess what? Yesterday's content did not deliver as it maybe was leaked to be. We didn't get that mid-season two review pack with like the crazy upgrade pack. We had an upgrade pack, but it wasn't that great. There was a lot of panic selling and because the content was not insane, prices rebounded, right? A lot of people went out and bought cards from their lows that they were yesterday before content and on Sunday night. So a lot of prices went up including on the team of the week side of the market. I wanna take you guys through that because there's a potential to maybe check your club and clear out on some of those investments that we've been making all year long. Finally those prices are going up. So I wanna take a look at that and of course one last piece of information that has got people speculating a lot about league SBCs because EA added a pack or a card and it's not here in the game right now but they added a card to the code that maybe looks like a league SBC player. We'll see, right? Don't get your hopes up too big. We're gonna talk about it in today's video. So if you're excited for today, hit the thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's talk about this winter wild cards swaps program. Guys this program is gonna be fast. It's gonna be lightning fast compared to the World Cup swaps. 25 tokens is what EA have told us. These are all the possible rewards but EA's website says 25 winter wild cards swaps in game, right? Now they also say that there might be some bonus tokens in the store, right? It's the same thing that they said during the World Cup swaps. They said, hey, we're gonna give you this many tokens and some bonus ones might be in the store. So again, 25 is the baseline number. Could we go above that? Yes, now actually right now if you look at the newest added players into the game there are 30 winter wild card swap tokens that have been added into concepts into the game. Now just like we learned with the World Cup swaps that is still live as well, they might not use all of the cards. So don't plan your best value option here off of getting 30 tokens. I would stick to 25 and then anything bonus off of that. You know, maybe you can change it up a little bit or add something in at the end depending on how many tokens we do get. But 25 tokens is what's guaranteed. We've got an 83 times 75 pack as the biggest option inside of here. An 85 plus winter wild cards player pick, the 85 times 10 and then some other good packs and tonali and trippier. And we can actually view these guys in the game because EA dropped the cards yesterday in the game and they also dropped the card design about a couple of minutes after content was dropped and people are already claiming this trippier card because it's two tokens for this trippier which is even better statistically than what EA posted on their graphic. They posted 86 pace, he's got 88, they posted 84 defense, he's got 85 and they posted 78 physical, but he has 82. Some people think it's a glitch. I just think EA put the wrong stats on their graphic. I don't know if there's gonna be any sort of compensation around this. If it was a worst card in game than it was on the graphic, then it might be a situation. But the fact that the card in game is better, I really don't feel like there's gonna be any sort of compensation or give back here. If there is, then that's great. But I know a lot of people are doing this trippier right now because he looks like a solid prem right back and with the two leaks that we have of new castle players, we've seen the Allentay maximum but there's also a leak for a Nick Pope as a part of a showdown. We'll look at that in today's video. I think people are going out and getting this trippier card for only two tokens, right? Very easy to do and it's not a terrible looking card kind of decent, but a lot of people also just have their tokens ready to go for what they might be grinding towards. Now, we talk about the best value with these swaps programs all of the time. What is the best value from Winter Wildcard swaps? If we're talking 25 tokens, I still believe that the 83 times 75 just gets you so many players for 20 tokens, 75 players. Of course, you're going to get a lot of 83s, 84s and 85s in there. Yes, you have the opportunity to pack a big promo card but with SBCs dropping constantly on this game, the 83 times 75 or 83 times 25 times three for 20 tokens, I think might be a part of your best value scenario. Now, if you really want Tonali or if you really want trippier, those are both solid cards. I think Tonali's card actually is really, really good and AC Milan links are always needed so that's not a bad option for 10 tokens. The 85 times 10 is 15 tokens. I also think it might not be a terrible option if you wanted to go the 85 times 10 routes to get those higher rated players because we all know this pack can be very, very nice. The 85 times 10 could be combined with the 85 times 25 standalone or 83 times 25 standalone pack that is 10 tokens on its own. So maybe the 10 token, 83, 25 and the 85 10 is a shout as well to get you to your 25. Those two together could be very good. And then other than that, like the 85 plus Winter Wild Cards player pick guys, like 85 plus every single card in the Winter Wild Cards promo should be 85 plus. I don't know why that ratings is set that low. That to me is a big gamble. You're only getting one card. Could it turn out great? Yes, of course, but that's very, very risky. I feel like this swaps program is about the packs and you guys might be looking at this and saying the same thing. Unless you really want Tonali or Trippier. I mean, you can even get Tonali or Trippier and still get a really good pack at the same time. So, but again, this really feels like it's a pack based, you know, 83, 25. There's the player pick option here for the 84 plus times three for five tokens. You know, if I was gonna spend five tokens, I'd rather get a Trippier and the 81 times 11 instead of an 84 plus player pick and even three of them at that rate. So really feels like the 85 times 10 and the 83 times 25 are the highlights of this Winter Wildcard Swaps Program. Now, we might even see today another token because if you think about it, right now it says in game that these rewards are expiring in 24, 25 days. And if we're gonna be getting around 25 tokens, right? That means they have to drop these tokens at one token per day kind of average. Right now they might drop clumps of tokens, you know, every couple of days and do it that way. But EA even told us what objectives we're gonna see it in. And one of the objectives they mentioned is the first owner fiesta, which if we take a look in objectives, this is where I think we might see our next token available today. The first owner fiesta friendly and this objective is expiring today at content on Tuesday. So I would imagine that today's token is gonna be available in first owner fiesta, which using the live food friendly at home going 11, get your first owner's squads ready if you're opening upgrade packs, you know, do whatever you need to do in your club to get your best first owned squad. It's not golden goal, but you get 12 matches a day, no lone players. I just think that reading into the way that EA put things on there, they listed the first owner fiesta as the first opportunity for an objective. I just feel like with this going away today on Tuesday, I feel like that's where we're gonna see our next token. So we had an SBC yesterday that was available for a few days, right? Of course, this was a really cheap SBC. It was a great way to get things started. You all you need is like a silver squad. You get an untradable pack and a token along with the rewards. So again, watch out for that first owner fiesta today. I think that might be where we get our token, silver stars, and they also said some winter wildcard objectives. Then they also even said SBCs like the puzzle challenges like we had yesterday and marquee matchups. So very descriptive from EA on where they're gonna be putting these tokens, but it's SBCs and objectives once again as it was expected. But watch out for that fiesta, first owner fiesta today. So get your first owner squads ready. If you're like me, you already have your first owner squad ready because that's your main team, right? So we'll be ready to go getting into that objective today probably gonna end up being a bit sweaty, but it'll be something to grind to keep that token kind of grind going. Now, speaking of more content today on Tuesday, what are we looking at, right? I think, yeah, we do have a showdown leak that we need to talk about because as mentioned, there is another new castle cart in the mix. And if you were considering doing the Cure and Trippier, which we're gonna take a look at the market here related to that card in a second, a goalkeeper showdown, Newcastle versus Leicester, Nick Pope, and Dan, I think his name is Danny Ward, Dan Ward. Two goalkeepers in a showdown, very interesting. The key here is this SBC has to be cheap because whoever wins this game is gonna go to an 88 rated card. And if they don't boost the reactions on goalkeepers, then this SBC will probably be an L if it's anywhere over 30,000 coins because a fodder 88 rated card is what? Like 25 to 30K. So that's the way that I'm looking at this, but it also is kind of nice to get some special goalkeepers. We haven't had very many of them this year. I think a lot of people are gonna be going for Newcastle and Pope for the links that he provides and of course being kind of a more well-known keeper in FIFA terms or in FIFA sense. So that's maybe part of content that we could get today. Other than that, I'm not really expecting that much. Today might be kind of a quieter day. Another day where the market stays decently high. And if you see any panic selling, you might be able to get in and out of that to make some potential coins. Maybe there's a small chance of another gamble pack as we like to call them. Like yesterday, of course, we had the 85 plus semi-finals nation upgrade, which this did make it, it was a very interesting impression to the market with this SBC dropping, right? We need to take a look at the market because of this. It was an 83 rated and a team of the week requirement for that SBC. Team of the week cards yesterday exploded. And this was something that we saw that was very, very nice. If you have Inforums in your club, they are selling for right around 17 to 18,000 coins on the market. Now literally all Inforums, 78 rated, 76 rated, 82s, 83s. I sold a bunch of Inforums yesterday in my club for right around 18,000 coins because that's kind of their going rate. Now, if you didn't sell your Inforums in your club, I mean, you don't have to get them out right away because the good thing about this SBC is, it refreshes on Wednesday. If you take a look at the SBC section, this SBC is repeatable. I actually doesn't even say here on foot then, but in the game it said one day 23 hours. So on Wednesday, I believe is the day. The 85 plus semi-finals nation upgrade will refresh again. Since it's so cheap, people are gonna go out and do it and watch out for Inforums because I will believe that they will go up in price once again and this would be the optimal time to sell Inforums from your club if you have tradable ones in there that you invested in or maybe you just held from team of the week packs for a time like this. The team of the week is gonna be returning to FIFA pretty soon because the World Cup is over and EA is gonna start dropping team of the week cards on a Wednesdays every week here. I think in the next two weeks or so. So I think this is a perfect opportunity with Inforums being so supplied this year, having this opportunity to sell them, you know, at 17, 18, 19,000 coins, it is incredible to have this opportunity. Like I just went into my club and sold a bunch of these guys for like 17, 18K, right? That's what I would be doing right now. Or if you wanna wait till Wednesday till we have some more demand hitting the market, that is a great, great time to do that, right? This is something that we always talk about discard Inforum investing, especially for some like the 82, the 83 added cards, now is when it starts to pay out. I know so many people that were making thousands of hundreds of thousands of coins just from selling cards that were in their club that they had held on to. So that's a big thing to check your club for and to watch out for with that 85 plus pack coming again. Now yesterday, of course, we did have the, we did also have the 81 plus double upgrade, which this is actually good value. The only problem here is, it seems like the pack weight's not that good. Of course, all you need is a few non-rares. You turn in five non-rares and six rares. I'll turn an extra rare here because I'm, you know, a short of non-rare. But, you know, this is actually pretty good. It's an 81 plus double. So if you compare it to a regular gold upgrade, you're getting the rating guarantee and you're turning in, you know, only five rares. So it's not bad. Five rares and six commons, that's the equation that you need to get that done. But these are nice, right? With all the great special cards that we have in packs, this makes it a little bit more craftable, especially when you get two players that are 81 plus. A lot of board drops from these, as you see, I get one right here. Portugal, right back, Paedita, right? All right, I'll take an 83, not bad. That's kind of what you want as a minimum for just about every single one. That's a pretty average pack, right? So try your luck with a few of those. Try to get some promo cards. You know, that's a nice upgrade pack that is there and available. It's craftable, right? You got the icon pack right now that is out. So to have an upgrade pack like this is very nice and craftable. It's also available for the whole week. So that is very, very nice as well. And then, you know, just maybe stack those for the next promo as well. Winter Wild Cards is upcoming. These 81 plus doubles might come into play again later on in the week, as we talk about Winter Wild Cards and getting closer to that promo and what cards we could see in packs then. So that's kind of all of the content yesterday for what we saw on the game. Now also, with the content, like we said, being a little bit less desirable than we thought it was going to be, a lot of cards actually have moved upwards in price. And I want to take a look at that. Now, a lot of stuff is still down overall, right? But take Golden Bopay, for example. Yesterday, heading into the content drop, there was a lot of panic, right? And Bopay went from 9.50 all the way to 8.50 right before content, content drop, the panic selling ended and he rebounded back up because we didn't get one of those insane packs into the store, right? Everybody was panic selling yesterday because of, well, part of it was people were changing their teams up as well. People were going with DeMaria, they're going with the Argentina Lynx. So Aluar Yan went from like 6.70 down to 600K flat. He's gone back up to about 6.4650 where he is now. But yesterday just created an absolutely incredible opportunity to just straight up trade, right? To flip some of these cards, if you made any buy and sell calls yesterday, there was a lot of profit to be made. I made a lot of coins yesterday because the market rebounded very well from the crazy little prices that we saw around the content drop. Now, that was very nice for like the meta side of the market. I mean, you take a look at this Ravi. Oh, even for a card that is very in demand right now with the Sierra Lynx that are out there, 96K yesterday morning rose up to 109K after a week in the rewards getting paid out and just continues to go, 133,000 coins. Some of these Sierra cards, I really do feel that they are reaching a potential peak in price, right? For a Rabio like that that was 70K just a couple of days ago or maybe for a Lautaro Martinez that was 65,000 coins. I know we had the DeMaria and stuff, but guys really be careful with some of these Sierra cards that have exploded in price because once that hype kind of ends, which I think it will be ending here in the next two to three days with winter wildcards upcoming, people's focus is gonna be away from the DeMaria and the Messi and all of these Argentinian and Sierra cards that people are wanting to use right now. And the focus is gonna go back to the new promo cards in packs this weekend. So I would be a bit careful with some of these Sierra cards that have ballooned in price like the Dumfries card from 35K to 58,000 coins. That cards up a lot. Just be careful with your Sierra and your Argentina links because if those guys are in your squad, I think they're gonna end up being peaking in price today or tomorrow should be kind of a peak for those. But like I said again, yesterday was such a big day. I sold all of my Canes for a good profit. I made like 115, 120,000 coins and all of those. Some really good quick flips, right? I mean, I got a lot of like 30 to 40K profits on these quick flips and it was just really, really good. Lazy listed and Lazy sold some fodder still. Fodder prices are just kind of chilling. Some of them are trickling down a bit. If we get another game, let's be seated here of course that would pull them up but I'm not thinking that that is super likely for the game today. What I would be watching out for for the game or for the market today would be just fluctuations, right? Like I'm looking at some of these more rare cards, just trying to find an opportunity where I could maybe buy one on a bid or a sniper and undercut and just fluctuation trade because the market feels a lot more healthy after the last day or two than it did. Ooh, Marquinhos down to 650. Show me like 630 and I'm in. But the market feels a lot more healthy right now than it did just a couple of days ago but I think we're gonna get to a point again this weekend with Winter Wild Cards upcoming as the leagues start to come out for that and more information about the promo drops. I think there might become some panic might set in again for this very, very hyped Winter Wild Cards promo as we get a little bit later on in the week. Now let's talk about fodder really quick and then let's talk about the league SBC situation. Fodder of course, as we mentioned, the low tier is what's going up the most, right? 83s are now 1,000 coins, 84s are three and a half K. It's the DeMaria. It is that 85 plus semi-finals pack that is kind of demanding all that lower tier fodder and that's the stuff that is going up, right? We saw that the highest price is probably for a higher rated fodder on Sunday when the icon pack dropped. 91s are still about 57K, 90s are 48, 49. So yes, these guys are still up a little bit but it's a bit unfortunate because EA did not drop any more content yesterday. It was like really, really good. So I guess a slight chance for more of something like that later this week but that's kind of what's going on with fodder at the moment and I would say in general for these cards as well, a lot of them were low yesterday and they've rebounded back up. Like Kane is 130 now, Foden's 290. I think these guys just like the Phenoms did will get lower later on in the week as we get closer to Winter Wild Cards. So be careful with any of these cards. I know a lot of them are cheap but just be careful with those guys as we get towards the end of the week on those cards as well. Now let's talk about League SBCs because this is a very, very tricky subject because so many people are very excited and they want League SBCs so badly for this game. They wanna grind the packs and grind the menus. Now this card design was added yesterday and Foot Scoreboard said, before you all scream League SBC release, please note this is a FIFA 22 card design, which it is, right? I went back and looked. They didn't even use this card design last year, I believe. And it kind of reminds you of what they used to do back in the day or maybe they used it a couple of times like with these guys. Is that even the same design? No, that's even a different design, right? I think they didn't use it last year in 22 but they used it in 21 and in a couple of years earlier than that. Back in the day when League SBCs actually gave out a player as a reward. So this is EA just messing with us and using this card as like a placeholder for something or there's actually something upcoming related to League SBCs, right? This card is called Squad Building Challenge. Very generic, right? So I would just say be very careful if you're reading into this and thinking that it might be related to League SBCs, be very careful getting excited about it because it's really a big unknown. And the fact that this is also a card design that was exact same as last year in FIFA 22 is very interesting. Like you would assume that they would at least update it a little bit if they were gonna use it again in FIFA 23 or use it at all in FIFA 23. So does this make me believe that League SBCs are coming 100%? No, does it mean that there's maybe a possibility and a little higher of a chance than there was yesterday? Yeah, I guess maybe. So that would be something that would turn this game upside down for a lot of the menu grinders is the ability to grind the packs via the League SBCs. And especially if there's player rewards for it as well, there will be so much hype for that. So I'd be very careful, again, getting super duper excited about it. But just kind of keep an eye out there for what is going on in the League SBC realm because that would be, again, massive for the market, depending on if they make the packs tradable or untradable, that can impact the market a lot as well. So guys, it seems like we're in the waiting period now for the Winter Wild Cards promo, which is dropping Friday, of course, as the loading screen said. But EA is gonna keep us busy in the meantime with this swaps program. And again, like we said, it's one of those fast-paced swaps programs where we're gonna have to be checking the content but where the token is every single day because they're gonna have to drop one just about every single day. That's the pace that they're gonna have to keep up since this program is pretty short. So watch for the first-owner Fiesta tokens today. I just kind of saw that as I started to record the video and I'm pretty, I don't know, pretty confident that that's gonna be the place where we get our tokens today. But that is gonna be the video for today. If you did enjoy 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 Foot account, and I'll catch you guys later. Peace, out.
