 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Now today I want to talk about some stuff that went on on the market because we got some big-time SBCs today, some new weekly objectives, and there were a lot of market movements today because of what happened inside of the game. And obviously the biggest thing that we got today and the biggest thing that really shook up the game content-wise today was the middle icon upgrade SBC. And really, we're going to go take a look at a couple footbin graphs here in a second, but this SBC is decently priced based off of the value of the cards that you're getting in return. If we go take a look at footbin right now, and we see that the Thierry Henry SBC is about three million coins, that's a bit overpriced. The Robin SBC is 900k, which I think is overpriced, and then they dropped the mid-icon upgrade, which is 343,000 coins. And we haven't even looked at how high the high-rateds are yet. If we go look at the cheapest players by rating, look at some of the high-rated cards. 86s are almost 30,000 coins, 87s are 35, 88s are over 45k, and 89s are almost 60,000 coins. That is ridiculous. Those cards are so expensive right now, and this SBC still manages to be around 350,000 coins. This was the biggest bank for your buck SBC that they dropped today by far. And all those people who invested in high-rated golds, I knew that I said I wasn't going to be doing that. I should have done it when EA dropped the middle icon SBC code into the game. But again, the whole promo had been very lackluster SBC value. I mean, a lot of the stuff you were paying a lot of coins for to get those cards, and that didn't change today except for this SBC. So this is really why the market took off today. You saw some panic selling because of this SBC. A lot of high-rated golds were down. If you look at my transfer list, I didn't have a ton of time to look at stuff and to buy stuff today, but I bought a few high-rated golds. I kind of focused on stuff that was out of packs with the bales and the Pogbas. But I got a couple de Bruyne, got a couple Conte as well just because those are very meta. And they went up a lot this Thursday into Friday for rewards flipping. So I figured they could rebound back tonight. They haven't rebounded too much yet. But if I can sell these cards where I have them listed, I'm making somewhere around 10-15k cards. That is a very nice profit. But EA, releasing these SBCs in the way that they released it was so, so smart. Now, first of all, I want to talk about this Robin, the Flashback Robin SBC. Right now it's valued at 950,000 coins for this card. But this card has been something that everybody in FIFA has been looking forward to this entire year. Everybody in FIFA has been waiting and waiting for a Flashback Robin. Now, it isn't a Flashback. It's like the special SBC version or I forget what the actual name of this card type. Premium Squad Building Challenge. It's right there on the screen for me to see it. Premium Squad Building Challenge version of Robin and the stats on this card are insane. I mean, this is a ridiculous card. But paying this many coins for it, I think it's just way too high. But so many people have been looking forward to this card that I think they're doing this SBC. And if we saw the high rated gold prices, that's what this SBC requires. You need a couple 87 rated squads and 86 and an 85 with some some country and some team requirements in there. But that's just another way that high ratings were required today. So they dropped that SBC, which I actually think people are doing just because of the fact that that card is just so popular. And it's something that everybody has wanted to do. And they dropped that alongside of the the base or the middle icon upgrade, which honestly, I'll probably do one just to try it out. But I wouldn't recommend doing too much more than that because it is very cheap. Now, saying that and looking at prices earlier today, I want to take a look at the icon floor. Now I don't see this as an investment too much anymore, especially after they started to drop some of these big boy icons. They really haven't been the icon moments SBCs, they really haven't been requiring a lot of icons. You see that the icon floor is right now like a 310k with one popped up there at 305. I don't even know if this is a feasible way to invest right now because you had Henri come out today who's valued at 3 million coins per his SBC, which again, you have to think about this price that shows over here on on foot bin is maybe a little bit inflated right now based on what they want it to be. Because this card wants the high rated golds drop down see 3.33 million coins for this SBC. But once the high rated golds drop down, I bet this SBC dips into the 2.9 range. So that makes it a lot easier. I think you still only need one icon for this SBC if I am thinking correctly, but you just need so many high-rated you need 288 rated squads 287s 286s. So I don't think a lot of people are going to actually end up doing this Henri SBC. And it honestly doesn't make me want to invest in higher in icons and like a base in the baby icons the lowest with those cards we just looked at 300k. I don't think I want to invest in those because I don't even know if they could go up. The only reason they would go up is if I saw SBCs requiring 2 or 3 icons. But it looks like right now that everybody that EA is just requiring more and more high rated squads and more informs instead of adding in more icons as the requirement. So this is how they get you and this is why EA is so smart about this. They get you because you think okay I can go drop 350 to 400,000 coins ish on this baby or this middle icon upgrade SBC. So you do the middle icon upgrade SBC. Maybe you get somebody you like maybe you don't. You think okay I'll have that card for an SBC. Well instead of maybe using that as a proper as a not a proper but almost a way of getting a cheaper icon than what is they're going for on the market. Yes you could get a Pele you could get a Yusebio but the chance of that are very low. You're probably getting an icon that is in the 300 to 400,000 coin range but it's doing you no more good than what one of these 300,000 coin icons are because you're going to submit that into an SBC. So basically you're turning in 350,000 coins when you could be spending 300 on an icon like this. But where they also get you is they're only requiring one icon. So you do this SBC you do the middle icon SBC and you're thinking yourself I'm getting this is helping me do an icon for a lot cheaper because I'm getting this this middle tier icon whether it's good or not I'll have him to turn into an SBC right yeah I'll have him to turn into an SBC but when these SBCs only require one icon and 300,000 coins of that SBC value is an icon and three million worth is in high-rated golds and in forms you're not really saving yourself any money because you're still doing 90% of the SBC is in high-rated gold it's that the cost of the SBC isn't really dependent on whether it has an icon in it or not. Now last year when they brought out primer icons like Hullet and like R9 I think R9 required like five icons or something like that that is when these cards went up last year I think Hullet required three two or three and then they dropped Maldini who required a couple and then R9 came out at that same time during foot birthday so there was a lot of icon requirements and that's why I was looking this year to see if those cards would be a good investment but they haven't been and the high-rated golds have been the best investment just because of the fact of how EA are doing these SBCs and that's why SBC requirements and investing for SBCs if you're into that and you like doing that recognizing those trends is very very important now again this is this comes back to the thing where EA is ultimately in control of these SBCs maybe for Hullet they they bring out Hullet they only require an 83, 485, 86, 87 and 88 rated squad but you need three icons now people are gonna think oh there's so little squads there but you're gonna have to get those icons into it I don't think they will I think EA wants to suck as many coins off the market as possible so they're gonna release uh I think we're gonna get a big icon today that's why I'm I want to talk about that here in just a second but I think the high-rated golds are gonna stay high so if you have those cards keep listening them for lazies there's no real hurry to sell just yet obviously you want to sell them in the next day or two but wait and see what kind of icon we get today because I think we're going to get a big boy icon today Saturday on FIFA Ultimate Team I think it's going to be a big boy so just have your coins ready for that I think a lot of people suck their coins into into SBCs today but I think people are also still prepared and ready to go if one if an R10 and R9 you save you a croive or a hullet would come out today onto the market so again if you want to do this middle icon upgrade SBC I don't think it's that terrible to do it just once and I would just say do it just once twice at the most if you're somebody who has well over a million coins and you want to test your luck and you're okay with getting somebody bad that's what you really have to kind of think about you probably not going to get one of those good cards if you're really okay with getting somebody that's just bang average then go for it take a shot at it I'm going to take a shot at it because I have a lot of coins right now I'm feeling pretty good I'm making a decent amount of coins even though my trading hasn't been the best I feel like this market in the next week or so looks like it's going to go up so I can afford to spend 300k I'll be able to make that here the next week or so with the market heading up out of this promo so watch that for sure and then also tomorrow if we get a big time icon SBC watch the panic sell especially later in the day into the evening as the weekend league selling begins to happen I mean we're going to be looking at special cards we're going to be looking at these foot birthday cards as investments as well we really saw the carnival cards kind of take off this week and that was basically what I think that's what the carnival cards have done in the past two weeks I think is what's going to happen with these foot birthday cards so we're going to go to take a look at the carnival squad right now we saw Gabriel Jesus right there 430,000 coins a lot of these cards are up Mertens is at 426, Benucci is at 84, Muller is at 74k on Wednesday he was 60 crazy it's incredible return on that card Neymar is up like 200k, Eurice is high, Bellerin is high all these cards have rebounded very nicely out of packs it's always that second week after they go out of packs is when they really really hit their mark so we'll look at Benucci's graph because he's a fairly affordable card I know he is a little bit more rare on xbox but you see him here at 70k impacts right at the end he was 69, 68k you still see he's about the same price here this week and then boom he really takes off this next week so how's it going to work out with foot birthday I think it's going to work out the same a lot of these cards are not very popular they're just not very good like the van dyke card nobody wants to play van dyke at cdm you want to play van dyke at center back Salah left back I see this card dropping a lot I just don't really feel like it's a great card to be put there unless you have a center mid that you're going to position swap in game and then move Salah up front I don't really see that card as a great investment but some cards that I do see as a very good investment is this Marcello and now he has dropped today but this card is very rare on the market he's under 500k on xbox and he's dropped like 20% 10 not 20% about 10% today alone there were no lightning rounds today this was just people panic selling their investments that they may had or panic selling the card in their team to go do these sbc so tonight what we're seeing on the market might be one of the lowest times we see with these cards I'm going to hold out until tomorrow I'm still expecting a big sbc and I do think we'll have a little bit more of a panic sell on these cards if you guys do want to invest in them or get one for your team coming out of this promo now I want to take a look at a few cards that I think could rebound the best and wow as I look at these cards these some of these prices are ridiculous pavard I think is still kind of high right now if you see that card at 80 000 coins that's a big time buy a french right back lala lala has been the best french right back this entire year pavard kind of gives him some competition vitzel at 119k I think it's very cheap this walker card is going to rise back up in the height because we have alexander arnold who you can play over walker you get a nice link there people will try that card this morning our card it's interesting to me he's got great stats I don't know how he plays a game I want to kind of get some information on that if you've used any of these cards that have really stood out to you let me know down below because I like to hear about how cards perform in game promo promes is very good and he's a very cheap and affordable option on the right wing in the in la liga and he's very popular five star skills links to ben yetter that's nice martial is very good as well I find that card to be one that I think will rise out of packs and then basically all these guys up here in the starting 11 I think will rise at least somewhat out of packs any like in bop a I don't think will rise too much maybe a little bit just because he's rare uh coutinho is down a lot this greaseman card I think will I want this card for my team I honestly want the bail and the greaseman for my team because they would fit perfectly perfectly in there now I am not going to spend a lot of money on this bail card I would love to pack him of course but who wouldn't I would love to pack him untradable but he's sitting right now 1.9 million coins this would be a card that if I really wanted to get in my team wait until team this season he will drop as a lot of other cards with incredible stats like he has will be coming onto the game but if you want to get invested on any of these foot birthday birthday cards keep a watch on the panic this weekend there's going to be some opportunities for flipping again I really like the UCL live cards as well we'll head back to footband to check this out for the end of the video I really like these UCL live cards you can tell today this was a massive time a massive panic sell right after 1900 hours boom we get down here so about an hour and a half after the 6 p.m. drop we're down here 124 points and it rebounds back to 130 a lot of these cards have been on a roller coaster ride today so keep your watch on these cards because some of them have games coming up here in the next in the next actually like week and a half so Lingard Alexis Sanchez quadrado Fabinho with some of those teams at one that are still in the competition if we see some more panic tomorrow that could definitely be an opportunity to invest on some of those cards again focus on the ones that are in games I know I talked about this but even the ones that are not currently live cards anymore like the ones that have been knocked out of Champions League play those cards are going to become very good investments for Thursday flipping as I saw this week and I think it's going to happen in the coming weeks as well those cards are going to be very good as we consider them because they're still very good cards like the Campembe even the Fakir the Nacho Fernandez that card was on a roller coaster ride this weekend I sold one for 70 thousand coins he's back down here now as you saw at 44k so a lot of these cards do like to fluctuate a lot and I don't think a lot of people are talking about these which makes them very good to trade with and honestly we'll take a look at the couple of these cards at one more time they're very rare man they are so rare I don't know if you guys remember the type of panic selling that there was on the market when these cards like when Nacho Fernandez and Real Madrid lost there were pages upon pages upon pages of this card and now you go and you look okay I got the 59th minute in five pages that is not a lot of supply so I don't know if a lot of people are using these cards or if EA was putting cards on the market whatever during that time period but those cards are actually pretty rare now kind of to how they were before so we'll watch those cards for investments and watch what happens with this SBC section I'm not going to be buying much of anything tomorrow before 6 p.m. UK time just because I do think we're going to get a big icon either today Saturday or tomorrow Sunday for the end of the promo maybe both days we'll get big ones because these last couple days we've gotten big ones with with Maldini and with Henri I do think we will get a top five icon here in the next day or two it's just kind of the way that I'm feeling but again high-rated golds are up a lot of stuff is up it's all SBC coin suck oriented right now and then we should see a rise after this weekend in the market almost everywhere as people get their coins investors get their coins from selling these high-rated golds a lot of people were invested in them and of course people will be looking to buy teams around the new cards that they packed or from the SBCs they did this week coming out of the promo into what should be a no promo week of FIFA market rebounding and lots of good stuff like that should be a lot of coins to be made as well in this next week if you enjoyed the video smash a thumbs up on it comment down below and hopefully we get a sick icon SBC today it's been Nate the photo accountant catch you guys later peace out
