 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Today is a massive day because the web app is finally here for FIFA 23. We get to start our Foot 23 Ultimate Teams today by logging into the web app, opening some welcome backpacks, getting on the market, doing some SBCs. It's gonna be a madness today, but it's gonna be so much fun. And what I wanna do in today's video is just, again, kind of reiterate what to do when you get into the web app today. We're gonna talk about the market, maybe FIFA points being on the web app. There's a little bit of updated information related to that, of course. When is the web app gonna drop? And just what you should do when you get in to the web app today on FIFA 23. So if you're excited for today, which I'm sure a lot of us are, hit the thumbs up and of course subscribe if you are new. Let's start off with the basics, right? When is this thing gonna be dropping today? Of course, we can sit here in F5 and refresh this page all that we want, but in the previous years, it has been 6 p.m. UK time is when this web app has been dropped and made available to people on this game. There's a nice list here by FIFA U team on Twitter. In the last 10 years, it's crazy they have all this data. In the last 10 years, the web app has been dropped between 6 p.m. UK. You see in FIFA 21, it was slightly early. Last year, it was slightly late. So it's again, around that 6 p.m. timeframe. I know people talk about soft launch, soft release. I can tell you right now when I'm recording this, there's nothing open or released on the web app just yet. It will be today, on Wednesday, sometime between 5 p.m. UK and 7 p.m. UK, which is around the content drop time, wherever you are at time zone. It should be around content today. That's the main basis. We just don't know exactly the main time. EA Sports didn't even mention this. Again, I'm gonna link this article down below. This is from the EA Help website and this is actually our only communication from EA about when the web app is coming, which is a little bit weird. I will say we never got an official like Pigeon Notes article or anything telling us any communication officially from EA on when the web app was gonna drop except for that web page right there. So that's the when, right? Should be around 6 p.m. UK today. We talked about the soft release. Now, of course, let's talk about when you get into this web app, right? When you're able to finally log in, I'm just gonna click F5 just in case, you know, right? That's how it's gonna be today. But when you get into the web app today, everybody's gonna be going a million miles an hour. It's gonna be a mad dash to get things done, to get things going, to open your packs, to start looking at the market, to start doing SBCs and all this sort of stuff. But let me tell you, it's not that big of a race. Whether you're getting in right away, opening your packs, or if the servers don't let you on for 30 minutes or to an hour, you're not gonna be behind. Don't feel that you have to rush and get through things super duper fast or you're else gonna be behind. You won't be, right? There's plenty of time. I mean, think about it. We people that are getting on the web app today, we're way ahead of the game anyway, because most people aren't even thinking about getting on FIFA until the 27th, which is like six days from now, and then the 30th, which is even over a week from now. That's when most people are gonna be getting on FIFA. So for today, again, it's not a race. It's not a mad dash. You'll have time, six days of web app, like I mentioned. So of course though, when we get in, we're gonna go straight for those packs, right? We're gonna go to the store, and try to open up those welcome backpacks. And again, this article talks about it a little bit, kind of like what the welcome or returning user rewards is. Again, we kind of expect to see some tradable packs in there. Maybe some like, I don't even know what kind of value the packs are, but usually they contain some players. They will be tradable, and hopefully they have a little bit of like 80 plus, or some sort of like rating guarantee inside them. That would be pretty nice. So from there, we're gonna open those packs. You're gonna sell some of those cards. You're also gonna hold some of those cards, right? As we were looking at in yesterday's stream, a lot of people, and as we've been talking about as well, in the early game, all the hype is around the SBCs, right? And of course, I can't say the foot 23 SBCs because they're not live. So we have to go to FIFA 22. But everything that we're gonna talk about, and we'll talk about this more in terms of market, everybody's gonna go ahead and start doing SBCs, whether it's advanced SBCs or the basics, that's where the first kind of place of hype, and that's really kind of all you can do on the web app is market and SBCs and maybe a couple objectives starting today on the web app. So that's where all of the demand is gonna be, remember that, right? So welcome backpacks, you're ripping those, you're opening stuff, you're getting players. Now again, just a little bit of an overview on what to keep, what to sell from that kind of stuff, because it is very specific. The main point I wanna get across to you is, don't be afraid to quick sell. I mean, especially if we're talking like a guy, let's say foot 23 players, let's go version, you know, gold, non-rare. If you're packing somebody that's from an obscure league, obscure nation, like let's say you pack Jordyn Shaqiri, you know, his card's probably not gonna sell for much more than this card. If he's already at minimum price on the market, just quick sell the card, right? Quick sell TIFOs, quick sell contracts even, because you can't play the game for six days, you're gonna get more packs later on. I would quick sell contracts, I would quick sell managers. I would quick sell anything that is basically not of value for an SBC like one of the hybrid leagues or hybrid nations. The only stuff that you maybe wanna hold on from those welcome backpacks would be a card that would be a gold card that maybe you'd use an SBC. Or of course, if you pack somebody big, if you pack maybe, you know, wow, this would be crazy, but if you pack an icon, or if you pack Vinny Jr., if you pack it in Bape today, which I was joking about in my tweet earlier, is a web app trading tip, right? Pack in Bape, sell in two weeks for two million coins. That'd be great if that happened to somebody today, right, or any of us. But if you pack any of those big boys, you don't wanna try to sell it today because even if it's a card like an Anthony or a Militao, I would not sell that because today on the market, people are gonna be starting off with so few coins. These guys are gonna be really, really cheap. And that's why some of the elite top tier traders and people that are trying to get as many coins as possible are doing that so that they can maybe hop on the market and catch a couple of these players when they're really cheap before they start to rise. Most likely later on at the end of the web app period as we get to the 27th later on in this next week. So if you pack somebody big, definitely hold on to them. Again, we've talked about the little quick sell hack, right? If you pack in Bape, I don't even know what his quick sell value is, but whatever he quick sells for, you might as well quick sell the card, you get coins, and then you can recover that card later on in the next four to five to six days with those coins you've been able to use to trade and make more coins, and then buy him back at the same discard value that you quick sold him for and then sell him for the crazy amount of coins that he's gonna be going for. That's the only kind of thing today that we would talk about regarding a little bit of a hack or that's something that probably a lot of people are not gonna do, but of course, just in case it does happen, there we've talked about it and we went through it. But again, don't be afraid to quick sell some cards, don't be afraid to rip those packs open right away, send a few things to the club if you need to, if you're not sure on its value, look it up on the market, right? There's gonna be so much to learn and to see with the market today because this is a brand new market. We have never had a cross-console market like we do today. Now, if you're on PC, it's gonna feel the same because you're used to having a PC-only market, but if you're on Xbox, if you're on PlayStation, the market's gonna be completely different, it's gonna be so, so competitive and we'll go back to that here in a second. But just to kind of keep our train of thought in order, as you open your welcome backpacks and you're thinking about what do I do next, I would take a look really quickly in objectives because there's gonna be some really easy objectives in there, I would imagine that would be like, hey, get these done really fast. I don't even know if there's anything that shows here. I'm flipping for objectives. Yeah, there's not, but get a couple starter objectives done. You might be able to get yourself a couple, maybe some low-tier packs like for a bronze or a silver or maybe two rare gold players pack or maybe you get yourself two, three, 400,000 coins. That can add up and that can be useful very, very quickly. So don't sleep on the objectives. There's some starter ones of those, go through those and get some of that stuff, especially if you don't have any welcome backpacks. Those starter objectives are what I would go to right away to get yourself a few coins off the bat before heading to the market and starting to trade and making some coins. Now, after those objectives and of course, what a lot of people are gonna do after their welcome backpacks is go over to those SBCs and start to do them. Again, these are going to be very good value. They're gonna be a little expensive. Like, let's be honest, right? If we take a look, these SBCs at the beginning of last year were like 20 to 30,000 coins to complete. They show for more right now, like 65K, like that's not how much they are right now. Back at the beginning of FIFA 22, 27,000 coins to complete all of these, which at the beginning seems like a lot. When you have 10K and you're like, Nate, you're telling me to put 20,000 coins into doing a four set of SBCs? Well, you get a rare mega pack, you get a mega pack, premium gold players pack, rare mix, they're all tradable. That's why it's most times, I would say like nine out of 10 times, it's worth the gamble to do these SBCs and to go ahead and kind of sweat your way through these because it's difficult to get League of Nations hybrid, hybrid leagues and hybrid nations done. Maybe what I would recommend is go and try to do one of those right away. Maybe you do hybrid League of Nations, get one of the easier ones done first, if you will. Hybrid nations last year, I guess was stupid expensive early on. That's gotta be a flip and glitch, but you know, 22, 23,000 coins for that hybrid leagues, I think might be the easiest one out of the three. What was this one? Actually, this one's the most expensive, 40, 30, 40,000 coins. I don't think it's gonna require loyalty this year, which is nice because of course, loyalty is gone with the new chemistry system. So maybe you get one of these done and then you head on to the market, but take your time with these advanced SBCs. You don't have to get them done right away. They're probably gonna maintain their price. It's not like they're gonna get stupid expensive over the week that the web app or the six days that the web app is out. So take your time doing those when you're on the web app today. You don't have to get all those packs open right away. You'll be able to open them throughout the first couple of days of the web app. Now, let's talk about the market because this is also where people are gonna be trying to make coins today. They're gonna be sweating it out. Again, as I said, it's gonna be very, very competitive. And the number one thing that we're not sure about related to the market today is FIFA points. We're really not sure about FIFA points because it's never been mentioned anywhere. There was an updated question, I guess, you could say on the EA Help website right here. It says, can I transfer my FIFA points? This was literally updated on Tuesday, September 20th. So yesterday, it says in here that you can transfer your FIFA points on console or PC. So there will not be able to be FIFA points today. You're 4,600 or if you bought on 22, they won't transfer over to 23. This is kind of not new information. We knew that those FIFA points will not be able to be attained until you log on to the console or until the early access or the 10 hour trial, whatever comes first for you. That's when you'll be able to access those FIFA points. But again, it just leaves us in a really weird scenario where we don't know where the FIFA points on the web app we're gonna stand today, right? We talked about it in this little plus symbol here. You can see it, it's really, really small. I'll zoom in again. We did this in a couple of videos ago. Like that little plus symbol right there, that means that you can add FIFA points on the web app. That was added in FIFA 22. We expect it to be in FIFA 23. But again, for that to work and I've been looking in this, I've been searching, I go in here and I search the PlayStation Store for FIFA 23 points. And as of right now, all I see are the pre-orders and Madden and FIFA 21 and 22. I don't see any FIFA 23 Ultimate Team FIFA points in the store. And that's what that link would take you to. That zoomed in link that we just looked at, that plus button. So as of right now, it looks like there may not be FIFA points on the web app today. That could change. And again, if there are gonna be FIFA points on the web app, that's gonna change the entire market today and it's gonna be crazy and ridiculous supply like everywhere. These people learn they can open FIFA points. They are gonna go take advantage of that and it's gonna be a madness. So we'll kind of just take that as a situation that if it happens, we'll adjust on the fly. But that would be crazy. So I'm not, I don't know, I'm on the fence. It's 50-50. I thought it was gonna be possible right now. It looks like it might not be possible. And that would be consistent with previous years. But also, the web app being six days from the release, it just would maybe make sense that EA was trying to scrape a little bit of extra money out of this and kind of, you know, be able to sell some FIFA points in the hype. That would be an EA thing. That would make sense. So we'll just have to see. Again, that one is up in the air. Another thing I wanna talk about is preview packs, man. And again, this would be so nice if EA were very nice enough to drop some pitch notes, but we have nothing. No communication, no official word from EA Sports about preview packs as well. There might be preview packs in the web app today. I don't remember if there were last year on FIFA 22 or not, but also last year was our first full year with the preview packs. And if there are, that could bring some more supply to your middle to high tier cards. Cause think about it. If you open a preview pack and you pack somebody like Luis Diaz, who might be a 40, 30,000 coin card, you're gonna try to get as fast as possible. Get your 7.5K to buy that preview pack and then list that card up on the market because it'll be profit for you. I really think what preview packs would do to the market today, it would bring in some more supply, but especially on the higher tier cards that go for more than obviously 10,000 coins because that's kind of the threshold you need to be at to make profit on a preview pack. And if you can't add in FIFA points, then people would be buying that pack with coins, right? So I think that would make the top tier cards get a little bit cheaper and it would create a good investment opportunity for those trading and building coins on the web app today. Now, as I said, competition's gonna be crazy. Prices are gonna be all over the place. It's gonna be a madness, right? Things you wanna do on the web app today on the market. Number one, again, remember that everybody is going to be in the SBC sections. That's where everybody's gonna be at, doing those advanced SBCs, doing the basic SBCs. Those are the cards you're gonna wanna trade with, the bronzes, the silvers, the golds. I often look to the golds right away, but don't sleep on those bronzes, guys. I'm telling you, like right now, we don't even have very many bronze cards in the database. We don't even have any all-silver cards. We have, like, how many? Two pages of silver cards. There's going to be gobs more silver cards that we see today, because the full database, of course, will be live after a few hours, probably after the game comes out, because all those cards will be added into the game and all these websites like foot.gg, footwiz, and footbin will add that stuff in. And there will be so many other silver cards to trade with and to look up and check their prices on footbin and those websites today. Watch the bronzes and the silvers. Again, focus on, and this goes for golds, too, but focus on your top nine nations. Focus on your top five leagues and really focus on those guys with position changes. We were talking about it in the stream yesterday, but I really feel like some of these gold cards, even, then have the weird position changes that can be moved in so many different areas. Let's go to a random card here. Maybe, like, four pages in. You know, we find, like, Afans of Davies, Jack Realers, those really not SBC fodder cards. Tottage can be moved. Left wing, center forward, cam, left mid. Still probably a little bit too high-rated to be fodder, but, you know, even a guy like Hoiberg can go center mid or CDM. Rahul can go from center back to right back. There's gonna be so many cards today that we'll have to just figure out how the market, you know, reacts to this whole new position change and a chemistry system. And that's even another thing to watch out for today on the market would be, watch out for your position change cards, how much those are gonna be, because people are gonna start doing SBCs, they're gonna need position change cards. Those might be on, actually, those will be an incredible place to trade today. We'll have to see how much they're supplied, but definitely watch your position change cards, you know, watch your chem styles, technically you could watch out for it, but I wouldn't mess with those because, again, this is one of the biggest tips I can give you today as well if you think about it. And as we've said, there are six days we're about to embark on today, a six day web app journey, right to embark on. Sounds like the beginning of a novel, but there's no gameplay. Nobody can play a game, and if there's just gonna be packs being opened and supply throughout this first six days before we can get on the game and actually play, there's no gameplay demand. So I think there's literally zero reason to build a starter team. I know we just spent the past couple of days whipping up these teams, you know, 30, 40K, 75K cheap budget squads that include some really good players like Daniel Malin or Goncalo Guedes, or Denjumo or Delufeyu or Jelson Martins. I wouldn't buy any of those players because I think people are going to be buying those players and they're gonna start to fill out some of their teams. But what was the example that we used in yesterday's video, right, it was Pepe, right? This Pepe center back card was so hyped at the beginning of the year last year. And, you know, all that hype just dies after literally like three days. He goes from 7,000 coins to 2K even before the full game is released, right? If you build a team with starter players, you are gonna lose coins. And that's why I really think you guys should not be building any teams let those prices even out, let them go to where they're gonna go before we get to Monday or Tuesday of next week before we can actually get on the game. Then we'll start talking about building a team, buying players once we have a few more coins and once we have that gameplay demand right around the corner. That's one of the biggest pieces of advice that I can give you guys today on this game. But there will be people that are building teams though. So even though we should not be doing that, there will be others that are. So that could be a place you trade on the market today. Watch some of these starter team cheap beasts, right? You know, Esauk, St. Tuesday, Sergei Dardere with his massive pace boost. Kim Min Jae would be a great card to watch. Oseman, Malaysia, I keep thinking about the Timber card. I see, I tweeted about that, right? I see Timber and Tese in like everybody's starter teams. So watch those types of cards today cause they are gonna fluctuate in price as some people are out there building teams. Although I think it's not a very good idea to do so. And then let's talk about trading and market once again. SBC solutions, right now, as I looked, right? When I click on the SBC button on Footbin, Footbin's gonna be a mad place today too, by the way. We talk about the servers going down maybe on the web app, maybe them doing a soft launch, you know, to maybe just ease in that process a little bit. Footbin servers could be struggling today. Watch on FootWiz, watch Footbin, watch Foot.gg, watch all those websites for maybe some server outages and also watch for squad building challenge solution trading because right away, you guys have to believe me when I tell you this, there are guys right now sitting and waiting with SBC solutions from the top 1,000 players that have been released already made and prepared to be loaded into Footbin so that they can start to trade and make coins off of those solutions. So there's gonna be solutions on Footbin today as soon as Footbin allows it and puts those SBCs up. People are gonna be importing those squads and that's gonna begin that whole cycle of the solution trading, which is very profitable. But honestly, what you wanna do today on the market is just learn, go through, soak it all up, look at a lot of prices, look at a lot of cards and start to see where the cards are selling, right? Because if you notice cards that are selling, you're noticing demand and those are gonna be the cards that you want to trade with. As I mentioned again, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Top 9 Nation, Top 5 League, that's a great place to be and we've talked in other videos about some more specifics about that sort of stuff and we're gonna be doing it on stream as well. Now the last thing I'll say is, if you're fortunate enough somehow to either be an incredible trader to get a lot of coins today or pack somebody big or big enough that you can sell the card and have a decent amount of coins. One thing you could start to look at would be some potential investments. Just, it's gonna depend on specific cards on the market though. We don't know if we're getting a team of the week today. That was other communication we would have loved to see from EA Sports. If we get a team of the week today, be on the lookout for cheap team of the week cards as I talked about in previous videos as well. The 83 rated Vinny Jr. inform was like 90K in the first four to five hours on the market, even probably less than that, like three to four hours on the market last year and Footbind didn't even start registering his price until he was 150K. That's like, his price almost doubled in two days, right? And then it of course went up to 300,000 coins as the market got more coins. So your overpowered good looking informs today from team of the week one, if that is released will be a great place to sink some coins in. Again, just be careful with how much you're investing because if you're trading and a lot of us are gonna be trying to make coins today, repetition and the flips and the quick flips and that quick return of coins after you sell a card, that's gonna be key, right? That's why we're talking about trading where there's demand because you could go out and put all your coins. Let's say you have like 30,000 coins and let's say that like, I don't even know a good example of a card that maybe is super cheap and is 30K to start the day off. Let's say Cancelo is like 30K to start the day. Of course he's gonna rise later on but if you put all your coins to buy one Cancelo then you're just gonna sit there and then maybe he goes up to 50K in like three or four days. Yeah, you made some coins but you would have been able to make a lot more if you're out there grinding the flips. The one, honestly like the two to 500 coin flips are gonna be the bread and butter for the next six days, those slight margins, those small margins. That's gonna be where you make your most coins. It's gonna be the repetition that makes your coin total go up the most. So again, it's gonna be a crazy day. I know we just talked about a lot of stuff and it seems like you're gonna get worked up and try to remember all these things and get worried about am I doing this correctly? Honestly, as long as you don't get your coin balance from something to zero, you're doing it right. You're gonna have fun, you're gonna open packs and you can't really mess it up too much, you know? Just be careful, don't take your coin balance to zero. As I said, don't build a team and have fun today man and just be aware. You can learn so many things about a brand new market but just looking around. And I'm gonna be doing a lot of that today on stream. So if you wanna come join us, we'll be starting my web app journey and starting all of our web app journeys together live on Twitch, that link is down below in the description. Now the last thing I wanna talk about is actually not a very happy note but I wanna mention it just really quick because is there like this much of a chance, like a 1% chance that EA might not drop the web app today? Could this website, cause EA help sometimes is fraudulent. This was very thought out, this is very well worded but is there like this much chance today that it could be fraudulent and EA has not given us any legit information and pitch notes or anything like that that the web app is not dropping today? I feel like that's such a small percentage chance of a delayed web app but I wanted to mention it because it just is weird that we haven't had that much communication but this seems pretty sincere to me. This is from the EA help, you know? And there was even like a, what is it, a community manager that even posted another article saying that the 21st was the web app day and the 22nd being the companion app day after that. So I'm gonna leave the link to this article down below in the description, it's straight from EA Sports so it is legit and I do believe the web app is gonna come out today but again, it's still a little bit weird how they're doing things this year. Maybe we'll get pitch notes today, I don't know. I'm gonna say that every day until we actually get them. So guys, that's been the video for today. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up, comment down below and of course subscribe if you're new. I'm excited for the web app. Let's have some fun today on FIFA. It's been Nathan from The Count and I'll catch you guys later, peace, out.
