 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. And as you guys probably know, we do have a new promo that is coming this weekend on FIFA Ultimate Team. There was a loading screen earlier today. I just logged in and there was no loading screen for me. I don't know what's going on with that. I did not have the team of the knockout stage loading screen, so they kinda, it seems like they took that away, which is a little bit interesting. But that promo is coming to FIFA. We saw that loading screen come out earlier today, and there were some graphics in the game as well. But we are getting a promo this weekend, and it is our first promo in a couple weeks. So we're gonna talk through a few things, looking ahead to this promo when it drops at 6 p.m. U.K. on Friday, kinda look at some things as to what kind of market moves we could see, whether there's some panic that's gonna happen before that, which I assume there will be in some areas, and maybe some investments going forward. But I wanna talk about a few things already that happened today, and that was with the category of the UCL Lives. It's always interesting to me to look at these cards after they get Panics Hold after a game, and this Stirling card just absolutely tanked today. He's down at 315,000 coins, 313, 314. That is incredibly low, considering this card has literally halved in price from his highest point. He was over 600,000 coins at one point. And that's crazy to me, because I think his 90 rated left wing card, I think this card has been chilling around like the upper 200s, yeah, 270s you see there. So this card being a right winger in the prem with better stats, a lot better stats than the 90. I guess not that much, I was looking at the 89. But the position in the right wing in the prem, which is kind of a more rare position. This card is, it's gotta rebound a little bit. Now I did see a team in the group stage, or a team in the knockout stage prediction today that had the Stirling card maybe getting his own team in the knockout stage card. So that would create some interesting things that card probably wouldn't rise as much if he got a team in the knockout stage. And Aguero is around a million coins. Wow, what a price drop for this card as well. One million coins flat, let's see what happens with this one, if he was under a million today, I haven't looked at these cards a lot. But he's probably gonna get a team in the season card, but this card is gonna be a very good card to maybe get a possible rebound out of. Because again, what we saw with these cards from teams that lost previously in the year was what they, all their supply came after the panic sell and then after that, they just got a lot more rare as people actually started using those cards in their teams and stuff like that. But the team, again, upcoming this week, it's gonna be probably a team in packs. And that's why I wanna look at some areas on the market where we could have some panic and why it could be a good opportunity to pick up cards in the panic sell. Now, first of all, the market so far after the loading screen has come out, we haven't seen too much panic. Right now it's Wednesday night when I'm recording this. So this is usually the time where I'm buying some stuff for weekend league flipping. And right now I'm not really doing too much of that considering I have a decent amount of stuff on my transfer list right now. And I just don't wanna get myself stuck in too many things. I'll probably buy a few more items to flip just because we know this promo won't be happening until Friday. And I don't think there's not gonna be any extra panic that happens because of the promo coming. I just think that anything, if anything, we'll see less of a rise from weekend league rewards than we usually do. But I'm sure in some areas of the market we will see a rise. We always do on Thursdays. Even though we are promised promos and even though we are supposed to be getting stuff like that, the market still goes up and people build teams with link investments to the team of the week or just buying special cards and cards on the market and general meta cards that people use. I think the market will still go up but I'm not going to buy a ton of stuff just because I don't think it'll be worth it for me to go all in this time around and to spend a lot of time to sell it if I'm not gonna make that many coins. So that's my reasoning for not going in further on some of that stuff tonight. But as you can see, the market really hasn't moved that much. It says that it's down but if we look into it deeper, we know that the index gold is really why these are coming down because the initial hype is wearing off from the new SBC that we got today which was the flashback player SBC which costs about 134,000 coins to do because I think on PS4 actually some of the 85s went extinct today and if we look at the cheapest players by rating a lot of the higher rated cards are back up really high. 86 is at 27, 28K, 87 is over 30. A lot of these cards went flying today. The 85s is 15, 16, 17K as well. Those are just very, very high. So if you're looking at the index 100 and you're thinking, wow, the market's going down, it's going down, it's not really going down that much. It's just the high rated golds are coming down a little bit from how high they got today. And that's why you're seeing a little bit of that market recovery, I guess, or market going down in a sense. But other than that, a lot of stuff still seems to be maintaining a price which I understand I wouldn't expect people to panic sell for this team in the knockout stage promotion. Now I think I mentioned this in my previous video earlier this week but if we would have gotten a team of the, if we would have gotten a team of the season loading screen and they would have started hyping that up then I would have been in a place where I would tell you guys, this is probably gonna cause more panic as the weekend goes on. But for this promo team of the knockout stage, if I think back to team of the group stage, we had a couple SBC cards, we had La Porte, we had Insignay, I'm sure we'll get a few SBC cards during this week. But this doesn't seem to be like a huge, massive promo to me that we really need to be super duper worried about in terms of huge market crashes. So again, in terms of Thursday flips, I think you wanna get out before Friday at 6 p.m. U.K. just because people are gonna be panicking again before Friday at 6 p.m. That's what happens with a lot of these promos and that's what we're going to wanna do if you're on the market at that time is watch the market heading up to the promo drop at 6 p.m. U.K. The first day usually isn't a day full of SBC, it's just a day full of packs being opened and people starting to maybe do the packs or do whatever SBC, it's a little SBC that they put out that day. Most times on the first day, they don't drop a major, major SBC. Obviously that sometimes does change, but it's really hard to really see the market go down big time, especially in the area of some of these meta-weekend lead cards. It's a great time to pick some up in the panic sale before 6 p.m. U.K. and then buy them then and then sell them afterwards. People open packs, they realize, all right, I didn't get anything too sweet. I gotta go build my team again so that I can play Weekend League. And that's kind of the whole main thing about this panic that we could see and I want you guys to be wary of on the market is watch these cards, watch the past informs, watch these special cards on the market heading into the promo when we get closer to 6 p.m. U.K., especially maybe look at some that could link to possible players that we could see get a team in the group stage or a team in the knockout stage card. Think about guys that have played really well sure you're gonna see some predictions start to roll out on Twitter if you're following a lot of FIFA guys on Twitter, you're gonna see some predictions of people that are starting to think about what players played really well in these last few games of the knockout stages and they're probably gonna get cards. Now, a few people have already started to invest because of this because a couple cards like if Jungman's son, he's been playing phenomenal for Spurs. If he gets a team in the knockout stage card, his headliner card will also get an upgrade and that's why you see this card crazy inflated up right now over 800,000 coins because this card would become an 89 rated most likely. If he did get another card that would replace this 88. So maybe even some could get an 89 and then this card could go to a 90. It just depends on how they do the upgrade. So that's why this card that you're seeing right now is really inflated because I think he's one of the top front runners to get a possible card. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, a lot of people are buying his wants to watch card because they feel like he has a shot at getting a team of the knockout stage card even though Uve did not go through. Cristiano Ronaldo scored almost all of their goals or a lot of their goals he played really well in the knockout stages in these past couple of weeks of Champions League play. So he is still viable to get a card, guys like Messi, there's definitely gonna be some of the Ajax guys getting in there, maybe a delict, maybe a de Jong, Tadic, Zeeh, David Neres, guys like that that have really stuck out. Those are the types of guys that you're really gonna see get these team of the knockout stage cards. So maybe we could invest accordingly to some of those that could get in, somebody like a, obviously we're gonna get road to the final upgrades for Taglia Fico, for the Spurs guys, Davenson and Alvier. So maybe if we get a Lloris, another Lloris special card, maybe like a carnival Alderweil, it would be a decent investment if he drops a little bit more in the panic because you might have a couple of guys from Spurs that get into this team. You already see he is down, 204,000 coins, he's spending 220. That's a pretty good deal actually. I might actually go and see if that is on the market and check it out, but just cards like that, you might take an extra look at as the panic selling, if there is panic selling happening before the 6 p.m. UK drop of this new promo on Friday. That's one thing that I wanted to kind of express to you guys and talk to you guys about that we could see happen. It's a pattern that we see a lot during these promos that's there's panic leading up to 6 p.m. UK that comes out, people open their packs, maybe do one or two SBCs. It's not like a groundbreaking SBC usually drops on the first day and then people go and they buy their week-end league teams back and the price is kind of, it's kind of like a quick dip and then they go right back up and if you can buy in that dip, find the cards that really drop the most in that dip. That is a really, really good way to make some profit and make some coins off of a promo like this. Now I like these carnival players because they're still pretty relevant. They were two promos ago, so a lot of people still like these cards. And if City like Raheem Sterling gets a card, you might look at this Gabriel Jesus as a possible investment to him because this Jesus card is kind of low. If you see him drop even more, it could be a decent investment. Stuff like that and a lot of these cards are very rare. As we look through a lot of the old team of the weeks and other special cards, those cards are very rare, but obviously the regular informs are good investments as well in this category. Not this current team of the week and that's something that we have to now realize is this team of the week is gonna have some extra supply because they will probably run lightning rounds this weekend. They probably will have some sort of special packs out for people to pack the team and knock out stage cards. So we gotta watch some of these cards and their prices because they could kind of dip low and it could be an opportunity to maybe throw one in your club and invest like a Funes Mori right now at 19K. That's pretty cheap. The Striker version, we have two Funes Mori in this team the week, which is interesting, but we're looking at the Striker 84 rated version for that. But yeah, again, we're just gonna have to keep watch on this market and that's really what I wanted to talk to you guys about today was that dip and the rise that could happen on Friday. I know I'm kind of looking ahead here, but Friday it could be that dip and the recovery that we see that is a very common thing that happens with these promos that come out because people panic and then they realize there was really no reason to panic and they go and buy their teams back for the weekend league. And there's a Guero 950,000 coins dipping under. These road to the final cards I'm probably not gonna touch just because I don't wanna really mess with them rebounding since we have like a really short window before team of the season. Now obviously if the Sterling card goes under 300K, that's gonna be something that I'm gonna have to really watch and see and possibly get in on because that would be a very, very cheap card for that price range. But again, I don't think there's too much to be panicking about. I don't think it's anything crazy to go panicking about if you're worried. You can sell your team after awards if you just wanna get liquid that would be the time to do it I think today. Sometime during the day, they could release more info about team of the knockout stage today. We could see more tweets, more information. That would be something to keep in mind. But other than that, I think it's just gonna be another typical kind of pack promo and people are used to these by now. So they know how to react. Even though there could be a Messi, there could be a Ronaldo in this team. That's why I think we could see some panic leading up to the promo. You know, a lot of people are not going to be affected by some of those cards that come out into packs. So it's gonna be kind of like another pack-based promo. Maybe a few SBCs on the side. But other than that, should be a decent time to pick up on some flips. I mean, it always is whenever we get a pack supply like this, we have some panic selling leading up to the promo. Always a good time to flip some cards. If you have any questions, ask them down below. I'll be there. Like the video if you enjoyed it and subscribe to the channel.
