 Hey guys, it's Nate aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. EA Sports ruined some of our profits yesterday in FIFA 23 and it's a little disappointing because everything that we expected to happen relating to the World Cup hero SBC pack happened. We had an SBC, it was good value, and it made fodder start to go up, right? This is only like 120,000 coins to do. We'll talk about it. It's great. GG's EA Sports, but then EA did something else that they don't normally do on Mondays that brought some supply to the market. So we're going to take a look at that and talk about SBC fodder for a good bit in this video because it had some very, very interesting market movements yesterday and there's a lot to learn from there. Now for the rest of the market, like these World Cup Phenom cards, they are going up. There was a slight dip yesterday with that hype SBC dropped, but a lot of these cards are rising and have reached new highs on the market because people saw yesterday as a great opportunity to buy. And of course, since rewards are fresh, coins are fresh in people's accounts after a weekend of rewards, there are prices moving up as people have coins. So I want to take a look at everything related to the market and the path to glory upgrades that we finally got late yesterday. GG's to EA, they finally put them out. They were kind of waiting a long time to do so, but they did. I want to take a look at potential content today on Tuesday as well. Could we have another showdown SBC because we've got another game coming tomorrow that could be worthy of a showdown, Morocco vs France. Of course, today we've got Croatia, Argentina. Last call for that showdown that was dropped yesterday with Enzo Fernandez and Pasalac, I think it's how you say his name. So we'll talk about that and more in today's video. If you're excited for it, hit the thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's talk about these profits that EA kind of messed us up on, right? Yesterday, we're going to the store for this one because that's where the issue was. Yesterday we got the Hero Pack, right? All great. All of our investment fodder was looking good. There was some fodder that on live on stream, we were talking about like, hey guys, this looks to be a little bit too inflated. We were talking about the 88 rated cards because they exploded yesterday. Let's just go through fodder prices really quick first and kind of take you through the timeline. 88's yesterday, rising up into content time, exploded, right? They started at about 28, 29,000 coins. Even before the SBC came out, 34K. A lot of your 88's were 33, 34,000 coins. An hour before the SBC dropped and on stream we got on and that was like, guys, that's almost too big of a rise for me. I would take the cash and sell into the hype and that's what we said with 88's because they were up the most and that is exactly the correct decision that looking back, right? hindsight's always 20-20 but that was the right decision because EA did not require 88's or higher in this pack. They only required 87's or higher and so the 87's went up like crazy and the 88's got panic sold back down but not just did they get panic sold, EA had their part in this yesterday by releasing lightning rounds on a Monday. We almost never get lightning rounds on a Monday. We didn't even get lightning rounds, I don't think, or at least that many on Cyber Monday a couple of weeks ago and yesterday EA dropped 100, 125, or no, it was 150K pack tradable lightning rounds yesterday. That's what it was. 150K packs, the big ones, tradable. They also released the untradable pack lightning rounds but in my opinion, of course, since those are all intradable, the star player packs, the 84, 85, 86 plus star player packs, those are all intradable so it doesn't impact the market really that much. It really should make people go out and do more SBCs if they're getting untradable fodder but that's besides the point. EA released tradable packs yesterday as a lightning round and that hurt the supply because those lightning rounds were selling out and that's kind of crazy to have on a Monday. You honestly don't normally see that but EA did that yesterday and I really, really think that that was a part of the reason why the fodder prices on the game yesterday did not do very well and that's why you saw some of your higher rated cards not go up in price. Now also it does, it's a big point that the SBC did not require these cards too. Benzema is now back down to 52K. Your 91 rated cards are low but again it was an 86 rated squad requirement for the World Cup hero upgrade and there was three 87 pluses required in the squad so of course your 87s have gone up big. They're up 24,000 coins here for most of these cards. They were even up a little bit more than that right away. I think most of them spiked to about 26, 27 in that first half an hour to an hour and then they started to get listed down by investors and of course supplied by those lightning rounds at the same time and that pushed these cards. Basically the way to think of it is EA kind of ruined our profits in the way that they limited them because if they did not drop the lightning rounds yesterday I honestly believe that 87 rated cards would probably still be about 26, 27,000 coins because there was a lot of lightning rounds released. Those were big packs with a lot of gold players and they sold out and EA ran those lightning rounds I think multiple times. There was some glitchiness with the store yesterday. We were kind of witnessing it live on stream but multiple hours of lightning rounds is what really stopped the fodder from rising a lot more yesterday. Now your 85s went up a little bit yesterday. They were around like 8,000 coins, 8.2, 8.3k and they kind of peaked right around that same time that 88s did but the lightning rounds again guys there was of course a lot of investing and you can definitely point a finger at these prices not going up much and saying it was over invested. There's a little bit of that aspect in there too but I also really really think there was a lot of demand for this SBC. I mean you take a look 75% thumbs up for the hero upgrade pack. This is only 114,000 coins to do for all of the World Cup heroes that are out. This is an incredible SBC and again give a thumbs up to EA for the price of this. It's very craftable. It's only one squad. People love that and I think a ton of people are doing this SBC and they did do it yesterday but again I think it was a combination of a little bit of over investing and the fact that EA put lightning rounds in the store that didn't make fodder go up that much. Now if you have these cards what would I do? To be completely honest I don't see a ton of supply coming throughout the rest of this week so if you invested in 84s, 85s, 86s I don't really see these cards dropping that much unless EA surprises with some sort of like one of those nation challenge packs with a really good tradable pack in the SBCs either today or tomorrow. I still think there's going to be people logging on to the game and doing that World Cup hero upgrade so there still should be some demand for fodder. We have a showdown SBC out. If we get another showdown today maybe there's a little bit more demand there. I just I don't think fodder is going to go up that much but I also don't think it's going to drop that much either so I would just say right now it's kind of a wash right. If you bought 85s at like seven and a half thousand coins you're kind of like well I can either sell these guys right now for like break even around 8k or maybe a little bit less or I can just hold on and try to get maybe eight and a half or nine thousand coins later this week I would maybe take a chance at least for today it's Tuesday right I don't think you have to be worried about this fodder stuff until later on in the week we don't have more lightning rounds most likely unless EA do something crazy again until we get to Friday with the new promo so honestly I would just hold this stuff even with the 87s right the 87s are in very high demand still I think these guys could maybe go back up to like 26,000 coins by the time the week is over this SBC is not repeatable it's only a one-time and done and it expires on Thursday like we said that's the foot hero world cup upgrade so I just think if I had fodder right now I would probably be trying to lazy listed 2,000 coins or so over the cheapest by now price or at least a thousand coins over try to catch some lazy sales help you get some extra profits in there and then not really worry about having to sell it right away unless you really really want your coins until you know towards the end of the week so hold your fingers cross your fingers not hold your fingers hold your hopes that maybe EA has something else planned for today right something else they could drop today be another showed on SBC right some more SBC demand I mean people are doing upgrade packs also 78 plus player picks with all these great phenoms that are impacts even though I think the 78 plus player pick is not a good SBC in terms of the value for how much you have to turn in for a one of two player pick of 78 plus give me the 80 plus double upgrade back please that was a great pack last week again and I really think that now seeing this 78 plus it was even better value but people are going to be doing upgrade packs they'll be crafting there's plenty of SBCs to craft storage Cod the dynamic duos the Ramos the from Pong the showdowns that are going away maybe another one today like we mentioned so I think you can hold your fodder for now keep lazy listing it and just get out of it by the end of the week it just might be one of those weeks where EA kind of messed it up for us and it's a bit of a bummer so that's the kind of way that I see the fodder market right now but regardless GGs to EA for dropping that World Cup hero SBC yesterday the hero cards there was a little bit of panic yesterday not a ton but just enough that if you bought a right couple few of cards I guess you could say there was a few cards that did end up rising back nicely like Smolarec was 480k he's now 520 another one that I think of off the top of my head was Brolin Brolin was like 460,000 coins yesterday before the content drop and now he is approaching 500,000 coins almost 500k so these guys are starting to rebound back up and they're starting to get a bit rare honestly the way the market is going right now I like a lot of these prices continuing to rise up into the rest this week and we're going to talk about that in a second with the market but also as a part of yesterday's content if you guys have any of the path to glories that we're deserving and needing to be rewarded their five star week foot upgrades they finally have them Griezmann five star week foot four star skills for that card another one that I think looks really saucy after a five star upgrade I know it's only a plus one but Alejandro Gomez of course in action today this is a card that if you have it don't take any chances guys sell these guys into the hype 1.1 mil for this Gomez card right now five star week foot four star skill moves of course if they win this game today he'll become five star five star as they head to the final and he'll be playing for a chance for another plus one upgrade and three additional traits on his card if they would end up winning the whole world cup but if you have any of these Gomez Romero right Romero is a card that I know a lot of people have invested in he has just hit an all-time high 320k I believe 330 is he really 330? 325,000 coins for this Romero card this is one that I would 1000% sell in the hype I think that a 300k price tag of course with all the other Prem Centerbacks that we have is a good price to sell now also you can tell me Nate if Argentina are gonna win today I know those cards going higher and that's also the case because if Argentina win today this guy gets another upgrade his price continues to go up a little bit more but with the risk that there is now we have all good teams in this final four you just want to take the cash especially with how expensive these guys are that would be my advice to you guys so take the cash take the safe cash on those in my opinion but those upgrades did go live we also got the showdown Taram upgrade I think he looks pretty decent nothing super duper insane now speaking of showdowns we had one yesterday where's the Taram right here 92 pace 88 dribble 89 shooting not bad gonna be a super sub for me finally a showdown I did they got upgraded I guess Kovacic did as well but that's besides the point so more showdowns potentially today I mean a part of Tuesday content I'm guessing is another showdown there's no leaks for it right now but it would just be nice if EA dropped the Morocco French showdown that'd be perfect they could pick some other players if they haven't just put in yet and then the showdown that we have for today's game I think it's ending like right before content Pasalik and Enzo Fernandez a lot of people are doing this Fernandez card because they believe that Argentina can go through and three star skills four star weak foot hold it gang high high work rates tough links but again you imagine this car with a plus two if they're able to win it looks pretty saucy so that's the hype around this Fernandez card I'm hoping if they can go through I might crap that SBC it's only about 50k not a tremendous W but it's decent so that's kind of what I'm expecting today and then an outside shot at you know some other sort of pack some other sort of upgrade SBC today a campaign bag a year in review that sort of thing I guess there's a slight bit of potential for that we'll just have to see it'll be one of those things that it's either leaked or it'll be a surprise at 6 p.m so another reason to maybe hold your fodder just for something along those lines now let's spend some time talking about the market because as we mentioned in yesterday's video as well the phenoms we're going to be a very popular point of movement on the market and these guys are just they're just flat rising man because I think people know that the past few weeks the weekend like Sunday to Monday has been some of the lowest times on the market for these cards and especially with this promo team being as hyped as it is if you bought some of these yesterday you are probably in the big money even some of the brand new cards look at Lissandro Martinez from 140k yesterday at the content drop 143 he's won 86 right now and a lot of this market looks like until we get some more better content something crazy something surprising on the weekend these guys are just going to continue to slide up what supply are we going to have between now and at least Thursday it probably would not be enough to make these cards go down that much so Hakimi one of the biggest risers from yesterday kunday is up like 20 30 000 coins um Hakimi is almost up 100k he was 500k for a quick second yesterday yeah 488 you could see there he was as low as 400k on sunday night early monday morning so uh really really big rises on some of these world cup phenoms i picked up a couple of Lattara Martinez yesterday at 75k look at this man rise from 75k he's now 90 000 coins uh so that's a big rise there just w's all around if you're able to buy any of these cards if you feel like you missed out what i'd say to try to look for with some of these is if we do get any sort of pack supply sbc like um you know we've been getting these world cup challenges i think today would be a day where we might get another one of these there's a Croatia challenge that's going away today so i would not be surprised if we had another one dropped in the game if we get a tradable pack right that's a little bit of an opportunity for some tradable supply so that could be another opportunity to pick up some of these phenoms cards if you want to other than that you might just have to kind of hold your horses and wait for some insane promo leaks or this next promo team and then watch these guys heading into the end of the week um where we get marquee matchups and if there are some insane leaks that could cause a little bit of panic as well so another thing i have to say about the content today before we talk about the market a little bit more is watch out for a loading screen today i mean it's really early for you to drop loading screens on tuesdays and i think they've been doing it the past couple of promos because they also drop loading screens for the world cup icons and after this week the world cup icons i believe we've got them all they've all been released so i don't think there's going to be a loading screen for those so maybe loading screen today but it might not be until tomorrow on wednesday for our next promo i know it's looking ahead a little bit but you know tuesday loading screens have been something that we've seen recently over the past couple of weeks because they're dropping icons and a new promo every single week but that might not be the same but it's worth mentioning because we have seen that recently now let's talk about if you're trying to trade on this market right now you can actually i'll show you my transfer since kind of talk about what i did yesterday if you're trying to trade and we were talking about this on stream as well it's a incredible time to trade right now in this game a couple things that i would tell you to look out for try to trade with cards as you can see a lot of the things here on my transfer list are cards that are like less than a hundred and fifty two hundred dollars in coins uh besides the gretzka that i finally flipped and besides this marquinhos here that i was using in my team and trying to make a quick buck on you know martinez grillish caught of a haul right i bought caught of a haul is at ninety seven ninety eight k he's like 120 almost already i should probably rise these up a little bit to 137 because he just keeps going up in price so a really good way to trade right now on this game is to just fluctuation trade it's one of the basics that we talk about all the time uh but these cards that move in and out of fluctuations are so so good to trade with i bought a betty pillow this is a great example right i looked at a betty pillow's graph on flip in and i knew that i can buy this card uh and i can sell him i know that i can sell him at like 270 200 and almost 280 000 coins and he was pretty low over the weekend right a betty right now is 270 270 flat right 265 264 so i know i bought that a betty at 255 i know that i can sell it at 277 k so if i'm able to find this betty per probably like anything less than 260 because again you have to make sure you calculated for tax but knowing that i can sell at 277 if i can snag this card on a bid on a snipe you know it's kind of grindy to trade when the market is up like this but it's also nice because these cards kind of trend tend to get a bit rare as less people are watching them and they just have a lot of fluctuations so footbin is going to be your best friend when you're looking through some of these cards now you know you can mostly do it with the cheaper cards it's best to do it with the cheaper cards because you have less tax on every purchase and in every flip but you can do it with some of these more expensive guys too like if you want to trade with some of the world cup heroes and if they move enough on a daily basis or an icon like i bought butre gueno yesterday at 900 k flat sold them at 980 that sort of thing you can absolutely trade with the expensive cards too but this fluctuation trading i would say works the best with some of the cheaper cards so what what i would look for is like going through like like jerud right 62 k for jerud what did he do yesterday yesterday when the market rose he went from 60 k peaked at 67 went back down to 60 and he's kind of been around 60 k since then so maybe jerud is a card that i'm like okay he had 67 k yesterday if i can get this jerud for like maybe 59 k on bid or 60 000 coins on a snipe this is a player that people might be going to try out because again you know you've had france that have been pretty successful lately jerud himself has been performing very well so maybe you get this jerud card with a good chem style you buy it for 60 k on a snipe we're on a bid and you list it for like 67 68 you can get a lazy sale the market is just continually trending upward as well if we don't get any insane content that could be a really great way to trade on this market in the next couple of days so if you're looking for other players to do this with look through these most recent promo teams the stories cards even some of the world cup icons i mean these guys are they're so cheap like chef shanko is 60 k louis hernandez is 205 210 isn't usually 220 let's see yesterday he was 224 was down at 204 at content back to 218 like this card to me right now i think you can go back to 220 k he's not in packs anymore i know he's not the most meta card ever but boom here's a perfect example how many cards do we have to 220 we got one page okay so there's a there's an okay amount of them if i see this card at like 200 flat so footpins got him at 205 right now if i can snag one at 200 000 coins flat i will absolutely buy this card because i believe i'll be able to sell it at 220 in the next day if the market continues to rise up just a little bit more so that's kind of the stuff that i would go through look at the most recent promo teams don't sleep on informs guys you want me to shout one card right now that's been a really really good card to trade recently because of the bundesliga links being where they are right now with frimpong this informane is a card that fluctuates a lot some of your biggest and best names in the bundesliga are really really good to trade with which is why i started trading with that gretzka card as well on a higher tier now he's up a lot of course but you know keep an eye out for those bundesliga cards because they just move in price because that's where the hype is right now on this game also watch your argentina links because those cards are moving up very nicely with the akunya showdown that we have had uh the enzo Fernandez that we of course have in the game right now that's a bit of the reason why la taro martinez is going up so much and the new la sandro martinez is going up so much as well so that's a little bit of insight onto what is going on in the market right now and what is going on in this game hopefully ea dropped us a little surprise today on a tuesday that would be fantastic ea sports drop us a little gamble pack a little campaign player picker something along those lines um because that would be a lot of fun to have on the game today but hopefully we get some content on a tuesday and if you guys didn't draw this video smash the thumbs up on a comment below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new i'm not going to sign off yet because if you've made it this far you got to see the promo card that i packed yesterday i know a lot of you guys have seen it yesterday was a game changing day for tfa i opened in 84 times 20 i packed rafael leow the sandro martinez um and uh dirt kai was in my hero pack but it was an absolutely mental 84 times 20 so now i got to figure out a new team with the strike force of leow and rudy voler and mesi slash um neymar might have to take a seat but uh that was that was incredible the reaction to this by the way is on the clips channel if you missed it so i'll link that video up right here but absolutely crazy crazy pack pull uh that we had this rafael leow yesterday so if you're saving your 84 times 20 maybe give it a shot because yesterday it was very very nice to me but it's a game packs always are anyways that's going to be the end for the video i'll see you guys today in the stream it's been nathan vote account i'll catch you guys later peace
