 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Photo Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Today is the big day that a lot of people have been waiting for. It is icon player pick, SBC Day today. We're gonna once again just a little bit talk about what we could expect today on this game with that SBC, the market movements, SBC fodder. Just speak on that once more before the SBC comes out today, as that is a very much anticipated piece of content that so many people have investments, times when they wanna buy their teams, hopefully some panic selling on the market. A lot of people are looking for that. Will it happen today? That's what we're gonna continue to talk through. Speaking of market and panic selling, we haven't seen a ton of panic selling for a team of the year, like a market crash yet, on the whole market. I'll preface that and say on the whole market, I don't feel like we are in a market crash, but on some specific cards like this Golden Bappe, like Ginola, there's a few other cards that are on this market that have really dropped off a lot in the past 24 hours since we talked last, but other cards really haven't moved that much. So it's a kind of a combination of panic selling on some cards, but I wouldn't really call this a market crash, it's more of just a market drop off. As we head into team of the year, I still think there's more prices that are going to drop over the rest of this weekend and maybe into this week, a little bit on this game. And EA Sports dropped some pretty big upgrade packs yesterday, the 81 plus repeatable attacker midfielder and defender upgrade SBCs that I honestly think are pretty good value, but this is, again, just reinforcing what EA wants you to be doing right now. They want you to be putting your coins into these SBCs, draining clubs of gold and of silvers, especially as they're continually releasing these group daily challenges, the warmup challenges to try to drain whatever coins they can right before team of the year. So if you're excited for this icon player pick today, of course, smash a thumbs up on the video and subscribe if you are new. Let's talk about it, right? Today on FIFA, it could be a pretty big day. Sundays have been pretty big content days the past couple of weeks, especially last Sunday and it probably is gonna happen again today, but specifically with the big SBC that everybody is ready to finally see released at FIFA, it's that icon player pick, the base mid. Now, just a last few couple more thoughts. I'm gonna raise my valuation for how much I think this is gonna cost. Yesterday I said 500 to 750K. I'm gonna raise that up, but I think it's gonna be 600 to 850,000 coins because, again, SBC fodder is just so expensive. I mean, yes, you can look at this rise. Sergio Ramos, 27,000 coins right now after being 19K just about a week ago, rising up this much. Yes, you can say this is a lot of investing, but I don't know if it's all investing. I think there's some legit demand in there as they've put out some really decent SBCs in the past week, especially at the beginning of the week with the Darmian, with the Kloss. I know not all those required higher rated squads, but there's demand for SBC players that's gonna make some of these cards go up. We had the mid icon that was released earlier in the week as well. That moved some of this fodder up. So all I'm saying is I know there's a lot of investing and I think today it's gonna be the biggest thing on this market today where we're gonna find out how the impact of this icon SBC is really gonna come down to. Are people going to go out and sell everything to go and do this SBC that it's gonna be so cheap that everybody wants to go out and do it? And are 88s gonna go to 30K? Or is the SBC gonna be in that middle range or maybe a bit overpriced, maybe towards like the 800K range where a lot of people are like, man, I don't have a lot of fodder in my club. I'd have to go pay to do this. And then we would see actual drop in price on the fodder because it was over invested. And the demand for people to go and do that SBC is not meeting the amount of supply that there is from people listing up their higher ratings on the market. So if you've invested in these, again, this is the big question, right? Do I sell on the hype? We always say sell on the hype, but this is the one situation where if it's a big time SBC that is gonna have so much hype like this, I know it's not repeatable, but it's an icon player pick. And we've seen how insane an SBC like this has impacted the market before. You would think that would make SBC fodder go up. So if I had fodder right now, I think that maybe I would split the difference, right? Sell 50% of it in the hype, 27K, especially if you bought like those Ramos or if you bought Lewandowski. Again, like Lewandowski has been a card I've been kind of looking at all week. The dude is 62K. I know you're looking at these prices and you're like, mate, this is cheaper than what it was last year. I don't think you can look at last year's fodder prices and expect the cards this year to hit that because this market is completely, completely different. Everything is just so much cheaper this year. So yeah, I just think I would maybe sell some of my cards in the hype and take that guaranteed profit because after 6PM UK, after the content drop today, regardless of whether the icon player pick is expensive or whether it's cheap and everybody is going out and doing it, you're gonna have people selling that fodder, right? Nobody's selling, not many people are selling right now. They're gonna all start selling when that SBC comes out. So it really depends on the price of the SBC and how many people want to go out and do it. But since there's so much hype about this SBC, I just have an inkling of a feeling that it's gonna be a bit overpriced and a bit overhyped, that's just my opinion. But the icon player pick might not be the only SBC that comes out today. Of course, there has been a flashback that's been talked about now and the stats have been leaked. Again, what we've seen recently is when they get the stats for these cards, most often, that means the card is coming really, really soon after they get the stats. So I would imagine, now this is not leaked, this is just me trying to guess and really speculate. We didn't have a player SBC yesterday. I think we might be getting this a Cardi flashback today on Sunday. These are the confirmed stats. Four star, four star is not confirmed, I believe, but 90 pace, 90 dribbling, 92 shooting. And I do believe that some people have said he has 99 attack positioning, 99 jumping, 96 finishing, really good reactions, composure, heading, and his agility balance even got a pretty sizable boost. Again, these are all some of the leaks that are out there. So this card might have a decent amount of hype, maybe even a decent amount more hype than the icon player pick SBC for users on this game. So just kind of thinking about that today as well, it all depends on the cost for a card like this as well, but this would be an item that a lot of people would go out and get because PSG links, that's a really insane looking card. I'm getting like flashback Benzema vibes, but maybe even better with some of these in-game stats as they are leaked to be. So that's pretty crazy. And that's a big player that could, not 100% sure, but could be coming out today. Now also, this actually reverts to just IRL footy for today. Don't forget that this showdown SBC, this game is today, Inter versus Atalanta, huge game today with Darman and Muriel upgrades on the line. All I ask EA Sports is that you upgrade these cards, whoever wins or if they draw today, please upgrade these items really fast, right? We wanna see the upgrades done in at least like less than 48 hours. However long you took with Keita and Kovacic, way, way, way too long, okay? Upgrade it lickety-split, just like you did with Suley and Pique, that's all that I asked for those, but that's a big game that a lot of people are gonna be keeping their eyes on today. And of course, with the iCom player pick coming again, going back to that subject, that's where a lot of people are hoping to see the market drop off today. Now again, like I mentioned, you've already seen Mbappe drop off a lot. Some people are like, yo, Nate, is this Mbappe price dropping because of the Icardi SBC? In my opinion, absolutely not. I don't think there is really any people that would be selling Mbappe for that Icardi. This is the best gold card on the game, 900K. I don't think people are gonna sell a 900,000 coin Killin' Mbappe Coverstar Glitch FIFA 22 card for a flashback Icardi. I don't think so. So I really just think that on the areas of the market right now, where you're seeing some panic, and we're gonna go through and look at some of those right now, this is just people finishing their weekend league, not very many people going out and buying cards for teams or seeing cards drop and want to buy. There's a lot more selling than there is buying right now and there's really no demand to buy teams. That's why some of the stuff is dropping, but I still think there's some cards on this game that have lower to go, right? And Mbappe and Ginola I think are up here on foot, and probably the biggest drops in price yesterday. Cancelo is the one that dropped in price a lot as well. I believe Manchester City, yes, I didn't even see the final score of that game. That's a fraud Premier League fan. Did Manchester City beat Chelsea? They did, one to zero. So that's another game that is on the streak for Cancelo, but I think this card was overinvested and with all the right backs that we have had in this game recently, I think what people saw was I just got to get this card out and people were told to sell with their investments. So Cancelo is down, some of your other headliners from team two dropped a bit, Sala went down, I flipped the Vinny, bought it at 1.45 and sold it actually at 1.56, sold it too early. Teate was down at 60K, he went back up a little bit. Barela has not dropped in price, Kimmich is down a lot. So like some of the cards that were maybe overinvested and especially Cancelo and Kimmich, those cards have really dropped off as I think people who are fearing more market crashing are selling some of these cards. But some of the cards that haven't dropped a lot in price, Alessandrini, 100,000 coins for Alessandrini, he's literally not moved. If you take a look at his price from yesterday, he was 98K, went up to 106, he's literally just chilling. I would not call this a market crash at all. His price has literally not dropped. It's in its normal range. You look through some other cards, Barela is still 370, right? He is still up in price right now. As we continue to look through some of the market, right? You see some of these players like Kessie, very inflated because of the Serie A links still, 110,000 coins. Don Aruma is still up, 180K. Now, there's some more cards that are down. Kingsling Colman 550. That's a pretty nice drop off from where he has been. The Marquinhos wrote to the knockouts card is going down. This current week's team of the week, this 89 Marquinhos is so cheap. 338 because people are packing this from their Weekend League rewards and nobody's buying, right? People are finishing Weekend League, nobody's buying. So, Theo Hernandez and Marquinhos are so cheap compared to what their cards normally are. I mean, Group Stage Marquinhos, who is also 89 rated, 370K. Like all of these cards are dropping, especially because of that inform, for this 89 Marquinhos pushing the other specials lower. You've got Gold Ronaldo now under 300K. You've got Gold Neymar down about 20,000 coins. So, I still think there's more dropping to come. As you look through more of the special cards on this game, more of this market, with that icon player pick today, I think a lot of people are hoping that that will initiate another round of panic selling, right? But it's got to be a well priced SBC for that to happen. And I think you're just gonna see it more panic selling in general because people are gonna be reminded that team of the year is coming and that a lot of time prices drop during team of the year. And I think that over the next two to three days, you'll continue to see prices drop a little bit more. Maybe some of these out of pack specials kick back just a little bit. But right now, everybody's focused on preparing for team of the year. And for a lot of people, that means continually selling a few of those cards. Now, a very interesting thing, this is the last, I believe today is the last full day for the team of the year vote because the voting ends on Monday. So, probably after that, we're gonna start to hear some rumors, maybe some leaks about some of this stuff. And that could impact the market a little bit in its own sense. Right now that's not impacting the market because we don't have any leaks because of course the voting is still going on. But, I mean, across the market in general, I still think you're gonna see a decent amount of dropage. I mean, we're not till Sanchez down 50K. Take a look at some of these icons, right? Zadhan is 3.2. These are just a few of these cards with the icon player pick coming today. I think that some of these icons are gonna drop a little bit more. Maybe your base, maybe your mid versions. Icons just, they don't have as much hype as they used to have, especially with the power curve and where it's at and where other special cards, how high their stats are in FIFA 22 as of right now. People are opting for those and SBC cards that they've crafted over icons just because these icons don't have as much hype as they have in years past. So, I think across this whole entire market, even if the icon player pick is a little overpriced today, more people have just team of the year in their headlights, in their thoughts. So, they are not gonna be buying a lot of teams today. I would watch the out of pack special cards and if you see some really, really insane drops, maybe you can pull the trigger, maybe some cards are gonna near their cheaper points on the out of pack special range on this weekend. Definitely in the next three to four days, you're gonna see kind of the cheapest points, in my opinion, for a lot of those out of pack special cards as people look to buy those for some of their teams. So, we're gonna look through that of course tomorrow into this week for when should you buy some of that if you're looking to just purely buy a team during team of the year as the market has dropped off a decent amount. So, that's kind of how I feel about the market. Again, we saw a big drop off yesterday. I still think there's more coming, not like Mbappe going to 800K but I think like cards like Genduzzi, who is still 280, I feel like Genduzzi can drop back down to like 250, maybe 240 and still drop down a little bit more. That's the kind of example that I'm thinking of with some more prices dropping in the next day on this game. Now, speaking of prices dropping, another thing that is pulling people away from building teams and buying cards for their club right now is EA dropping this content yesterday on FIFA, the 81 plus, defender midfielder and attacker packs, repeatable. And this is draining coins off the market and draining people's clubs of cards because this is a way where, you know, we haven't had this in years past where if you're somebody who is trying to save packs for team of the year and stack some stuff beforehand, you would have to save your weakening rewards, you would do upgrade packs from previous promos and save those. I don't think they released anything like this from last year, I could be mistaken but literally here, EA Sports is saying, here you go, here's some SBCs you can do right now to prepare packs for team of the year, right? They're really just trying to get people to spend more coins on packs like this and get a shot at packing a team of the year which a lot of people are going to do especially as they sell their teams this weekend. Now, this being said, these SBCs are great value. These are incredible value SBCs in my opinion. This is the way that I'm looking at it. I mean, 83% upvoted for the attacker upgrade, 85% upvote for the defender and 80% upvote for the midfielder, right? These are pretty cheap. They're literally 4,000 coins apiece. If you have to buy them and buy all the cards from scratch, 4,000 coins apiece is gonna be cheaper than your average upgrade SBC that will get released. Like an 81 plus double is probably gonna cost about eight to 10K especially for the upgrade packs that require rares that are released during team of the year. Those are gonna cost you about maybe even 10 to 12,000 coins, maybe 15K depending on the price of rares. So I know you're only getting one player and I know it's 81 plus which might seem a little bit low but if you think about it this way, there's always the gold upgrade pack that is available, right? This gold upgrade pack is always here and you get two rare gold players from this and that requires just a gold squad, right? These packs require six players, five or six depending on what SBC you're doing and they require golds just non-rares, no rares. So I like this because you have that 81 plus guaranteed. Regardless if you're somebody like me who's gonna spend a lot of coins on upgrade packs during this promo, then I'm gonna be stacking some of these. I know it's what EA wants me to do but I'm already beating EA system because having eight million coins, nine million coins without spending a fee per point on this game, you're beating the system, right? I know a lot of you guys have millions of coins as well and some of you guys maybe only have a couple 100,000 coins and that's fine too. You can still build two, three, four, maybe even 10 of these, right? 10 of these is gonna cost you 40,000 coins and if you sit down and trade on the market for maybe an hour or two hours in the next couple of days, if you really go at it hard and trade with silvers or trade with even some of these non-rares and rares for league SBCs that people are just building packs right now and saving up and just waiting. Those, all those packs are marinating in people's clubs waiting for team of the year. Like you can go and convince yourself I'm gonna spend 40K on this, trade it back in the next couple of days to get back to where I was before and say that I didn't spend those coins, right? That kind of thing you can do with these packs. And yeah, again, obviously eSports is getting us to think about saving packs. The one thing that I do like about these since they're position specific is a lot of people don't end up building or opening their saved up packs until we get the full team of the year 11 or 12 with a 12 man available in packs. So what you have to wait like for the first five days of team of the year you're waiting to opening your packs. Now with those specific upgrades, depending on how many packs that you have saved you're gonna be able to go into your pack stash and open like if you build attacker upgrade packs, right? Let's say you build like 30 of them, you're gonna be able to go in as long as you can find them because if after like 30 packs or whatever it is and you can find all your packs on companion app or on the web app, but I think I have on a sign on them right now so I can't even show you this right at the moment unless I go in the crazy way to the store but you can kind of open these upgrade packs dependent upon what cards are in packs if they drop attackers first, you could open your attacker packs if they drop midfielders, you could open your midfielders, right? So that is a thing that's kind of cool about these upgrade SBCs is that you can open them before waiting for the whole team to be in packs. So that part of it, I like it as well if you're trying to craft SBCs during that timeframe and if you're gonna open a lot of packs during team of the year, I'm a fan of that. So I like the SBCs, I really do. I thought I had a draft available. Do drafts expire? I don't even know. I thought I built a draft and never played the game. I guess that was a single player draft. I built an online draft, nevermind me. I don't know what I'm saying. But yeah, so I think those upgrade packs are a W. I'm really not keeping up with the warmup challenges but those are again also a pretty decent, get a few packs from those. I need to do these 83 plus midfielder and attacker and defender upgrades. I need to do these before they expire today. So I'm gonna get those done and dusted. I know that even these cost like 15 or 13,000 coins a piece or whatever it is, but I'm gonna get it done and I'm gonna spend the coins to do it because I wanna have a chance to pack in a team of the year. So I am gonna do those and I'm gonna start stacking some of these because I wanna build these up this week because right now I think non-rares, they're up. Since you need non-rare golds basically or the cheapest gold you can find on the market. I believe these are like 650 to 700 coins. Yeah, 700 expiring and I believe if you go to 600 or 650, those are sitting there too. These might get a little bit cheaper this morning on Sunday with squad battle rewards being pushed out. So just kind of keep an eye out for that if you're trying to craft some of these packs. Sunday morning might be a decent time to do that. Same thing with tomorrow with Monday morning with some rewards from foot champions being pushed out as well. So I know it's a crazy day today, right? Everybody's looking forward to this player pick SBC. It's gonna be chaotic. It's gonna be a big 6 p.m. content drop today on Sunday. We're really gonna have to see, A, the price of this SBC and then from there we'll be able to see if things continue to fall to place. Will it cause more panic selling or will people be like, man, I'm not touching that SBC. I'm just gonna go back to playing my week in league to building packs for team of the year or doing some other SBCs. I feel like it's gonna be one of those two options today. Maybe they release a Cardi that could be an SBC that people would want to go out and do and we'll have to continue to watch the market as well. And again, like I mentioned with this Vinny, I bought this Vinny at 1.45 and even sold it a bit too early because he's back up to 1.6 flat now. Keep an eye for some of these really meta and popular cards that are out of packs. If they have panic selling hours, you know, sometimes they just drop too low because not very many people are buying and all it takes is a couple hours of panic selling for some of these cards to reach prices that are just too cheap and then they rebound back just off of rarity, right? So this Renato went down to like 590, maybe 580. He bounced back to just over 600 but there's no profit in that, right? You have 30K of tax, that's not very profitable. So watch your out of packs items. Again, very popular cards. You know, a couple of cards that are still down. I wanna look through a few more of these just at the end of this video. Anthony Marchial is another one who has dropped off in price a really significant amount. His Winter Wildcard's item is like 600K. I believe at the moment, yeah, 609. That's continuing to drop. Slotton is 2.4 million coins. That's the lowest that he's been. I think he might even be dipping below 2.4 potentially. Yeah, 239. So Slotton is dipping down. You're seeing panic selling on this game across the whole market but it's just hitting some areas a bit harder than others and I think you're gonna see the rest of those areas get hit a little bit harder today into tonight and into tomorrow and Monday. So that's what I would watch for on this market especially if you're eyeing some out of packs cards for your team and you're really wanting to buy a team through this promo period. Add those to your transfer targets. Set up some footbin notifications if you have footbin premium and watch these cards drop in price. If they drop off like 30%, 30% is kind of a basis for I'm like, okay, that's a bit ridiculous. Maybe even like 20% for some of these cards that are already down so much already. Then of course, you know, that might just be a point where it's like, that's way too cheap. I buy those cards and you're happy with that price whatever you see. So again, big day of content today on Sunday. We'll see if EA puts out everything that we think they might but that icon player pick is what's gonna get the kids all hyped today for sure. If you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate the Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
