 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. It is Friday, and we are hyped for another team of the season. Oh, team of the season is over, boys, for the first time in literally like a month and a half. There's nothing coming out on a Friday. We have no league to look forward to, no team of the season cards, no Jue stats, SBCs, objectives that we have become used to looking forward to. Every Friday for the past like month and a half, like since seriously, like what was it, late April, early May, when we had that Premier League team of the season drop with the whole, you know, the card guessing game or whatever was going on with EA Sports's FIFA channel. And team of the season is basically over. It is done. This entire last week has been filled with a lack of content, nothing to do SBC wise and upgrade SBC wise and just not a lot of people happy with the game the past few days. We have gameplay patches coming out. We have new servers added. I just want to talk about what happens next in the next, you know, this weekend in the short term, what happens this weekend with the market, what could happen today for content and then also talk about some of the EA communication stuff that we've had recently and just again, kind of just go over the lack of good content during ultimate thoughts. I mean, you think about ultimate thoughts and you think of the word ultimate ultimate means like one of the best or like the best it is of the highest tier ultimate, right? That was, I think ultimate thoughts was the worst week of team of the season yet even worse than Syria Syria was not very hype, right? But this week with the upgrades, we had some decent SBCs to start things off, right? We had the Dries Mertens. I even forget who he had before that. But the Mertens SBC was a W like the Friday and the Friday, Saturday and Sunday SBCs were a W or at least they were okay. But the everything since then has been absolutely abysmal. The deluxe upgrades are a sham. No ultimate thoughts guaranteed, no grindable league upgrades, just a big, big L for team of the season, which all of those cards go out of packs today at 6pm UK. And then we are literally left with nothing. And it just seems so weird to have this whole past month and a half of all this content, all this stuff, there's stuffing packs at all times. And we're just going to cut it cold turkeys. That's what it seems. That's what kind of happens after a promo. But it just really hard after team of the season, one of the biggest promos of the year, if not the second biggest, I would say, or biggest even this year with just so many people being engaged with this game at this time during team of the season this year with everything that's going on in the world with quarantine and stuff, I think. So it's just going to be a big change. And it's going to be back into earlier parts of FIFA when we were somewhat motivated to grind the trades, somewhat motivated to be on top of prices and be accessing the market and trading because there was still a bigger goal that we were kind of working towards. And now that bigger goal has basically it's done. This is June. We are literally in the final third, the final quarter of the year of the game cycle of FIFA, what is the most, quote unquote, dead. At least we have football going on this summer. So that could give us some potential for some sort of promotion that EA would want to run. And we still have footies to look forward to. But other than those things, there's just not really a lot to look forward to right now in FIFA. So again, these are the cards that are going out of packs today. Some people have mentioned to me, is there a possibility of like the same scenario that happened with full birthday is they just throw an audible and they put these cards back in packs again for another week. If they did that, it would be again, such a money grab, putting the ultimate tots back into packs would be, you know, these are the most unpackable tots cards. And you saw what everybody got in reds today, right? Oblox, Kimmich, Alexander-Arnold Henderson, Carvajal and Summer like in Mobile as well. And Luis Alberto, those were what like everybody almost everybody got in reds and gotten rewards today because you know, the pack way on these guys is abysmal. It's ridiculously hard to pack them. Could EA do something like that and re-release tots cards into packs? I see it highly unlikely with the amount of content that's done this week. I don't know if they're trying to like set a low standard and then try to make us happy again. That would be kind of dumb in my opinion. Hopefully what they're doing is just working on FIFA 21 because you know what, fine, go work on FIFA 21 at this stage and let us ride out FIFA 20 for the next couple of months with a little bit of content if you can make FIFA 21 better. That's the way that I see it. Don't know if you guys agree, but that's kind of the way that I see it at the moment. So could we see these guys re-release today? I think it's highly unlikely, but the potential is I guess technically there. One thing I also wanted to talk about was the mid icon SBC. The mid icon SBC. I want to talk about this really fast and I want to actually show you the SBC on foot bin. Mid icon upgrade. I think it is this one. I think it's the mid icon upgrade that came out. When did this come out? April 29th. So April 29th, the mid icon upgrade came out into packs. That was April 29th and that SBC came out on a weird, weird day. It came out on the 29th. Okay, that was actually during the season. So I thought that SBC originally came out in between foot birthday and in between tots, but it actually didn't. It came out during team of the season because it came out on 04.29. But one thing that I have done a couple points in the past, and I think they did it once this year at some point. I'm not exactly sure when that was though, is they released that icon upgrade on a Friday where we have no hype. We really did not have any hype for content that was coming out on foot. And they released that icon upgrade into packs. Some people thinking that they're going to somehow try to revive the foot content today with a prime icon SBC. I would think this is like a last ditch effort to try to do something with their game if that is something they would try to do. I don't see that happening today. The mid icon upgrade. But I guess if there's anything EA would do to try to keep people on their game, that would be something that they could do. Although the thing is, EA Sports, if you're making a prime icon upgrade SBC, if you're making a prime icon upgrade SBC, what are we going to make that SBC cost? Because let's take a look at the prime icons on the market. And let's take a look at the cost of them. Icons are so cheap at this stage of the game because of what team of the season prices have done to the market. Look at some of these prices. How many prime icons over a mill? Not very many. Look at some of these prices, though, right? Drugba, 400k, Balak, 460,000 coins for this Michael Balak prime card that was at one point this year, 1.2 to 1.4 million coins. He's now a million coins less than what he was in January after the team of the year, little inflationary stage, right? Team of the year into early February, 1.4 mill. He's literally a million coins less, right? If you look at a lot of these icon graphs, they're down like a mill. Emmanuel Petit, 400k. He was 1.2 mill at some point, right? Stoichkopf. I was amazed by this price today. This guy used to be one of the most beloved icons as a prime. He was 1.7 mill. He was 1.7 mill during team of the year, just after team of the year. And my guy is 300,000 coins. So if EA is going to drop a prime icon, SBC, that is a repeatable upgrade, there is going to be some hype for that because prime icons are pretty hype, right? But if they're going to do it, they got to make this SBC literally 300k or below. Actually, they're probably going to make it like 400 or 500k, but 400k or below to me would be where they have to make it because the first full page of icons are all at 400k. Then you have two pages of prime icons under 400,000 coins, which is ridiculous. Look at these primes. Look how many primes are 100k. 100k. You can't even get excited for some of these. Some of these icons are usually really good. Maca Lele, 300k. Del Piero, 330. Who else? Rijkaard, 249. He's actually up a bit. He was 175k early this weekend. Nedved, 230k. Who else? Some of these guys aren't the most hype, but again, these cards have dropped so much in price. Eusebio is 55k, Ronaldo is still 95k. Then you have the top three cards that are still ridiculously expensive, but Zidane, prime Zidane's 3 mil. What was he early this year? He was 7 mil, right? So he's halved in price. If EA would drop that SBC today, that's the most likely thing that I see happening. What would happen to the market? Of course, you would see SBC fodder would fly to the roof because if there's nothing else to do in this game and team of the season is over with, done and gone. The only things to do this weekend are going to be play weekend league for the ultimate team of the season cards, right? Ultimate team of the season cards are in packs for next week's rewards if you are not aware. So the weekend league this weekend, you will get ultimate tots cards from Reds and from the elite player packs for next week. But that's like the only motivation this weekend, let's EA does something different. It's just weird going back to that state of the game where there's nothing going on and nobody really wants to grind this game. But if that prime icon upgrade did come today and so many people are just thinking that this is going to come, I don't know, I don't have leaks and the way that EA has been releasing content recently, I don't think it's going to be coming. But that is something that I guess we possibly could see today. If EA was trying to add some hype and some value to this game, I think that they would probably make it somewhere on the 400 to 500,000 coin range. SBC fodder is still kind of low. I think they would probably require like an 80, maybe an 89 and an 86 SBC or like an 86 and an 88. I don't know, maybe 87 88. Not sure what they would do with that depends on what they want to do and what kind of, you know, part of SBC fodder they want to get rid of. But, you know, that would kind of make sense if EA wanted to drop that prime icon upgrade SBC, think about what people have right now. They have a lot of untradable team and season cards in their club. They probably want to use for SBCs or they're never going to really touch, right? Objective cards or Tots cards that you've packed from the guarantees, right? Because everybody does the guarantee. People have Tots cards in their clubs right now that they're not going to use or that they're just fodder to them. So if EA released a prime icon upgrade, that would be something they could do to rinse clubs of SBC fodder before footies comes, which footies is a basically almost entirely SBC based promo for the new cards. The footies cards are all SBC attainable. So that would be one way where EA could clear out clubs before footies and then, you know, possibly make people, you know, even lose more money and try to spend FIFA points during footies. Now, that's, you know, that's the EA way. That's how they think. So that is something I could see happening in the next few weeks as we wait until footies starts. Now, last year, footies was in July, I believe late June, early July, I think. I just don't know what's going to happen this year with football games still being played. I think we have La Liga is going on now. We've got La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A is about to start up. I don't know about Lee Gunn and the Prem starts next week. So we are in almost full swing for football games being back on. And, you know, of course, stuff, if live cards are going to get upgraded from team of the weeks or from man of the matches, I mean, you're going to see some of that stuff move on the market. If you really want to trade on this market, though, I think you want to take a look at team of the season cards because these, these cards have been really, really supplied up until now. They're going to get really, really rare because people are going to start, start quitting the game and you're going to see these prices fluctuate a lot. We can make sell-offs are going to be massive, massive times. And whenever EA drops content, you're going to see people are going to have to sell cards to get coins, but it's people are going to be off the game. So it's going to be have to be good content. People come back, sell cards, then in order to do the content, whatever it may be, that's when you might see a rise. So that's when you could see a rise, but yeah, at this time, man, you're probably, if you want to trade and you want to watch this market this weekend, right? I talked about focusing on this weekend for the market. The market is decently high. A lot of this stuff went up today with rewards, icons, like I mentioned that prime right card. Some stuff did go down a lot of the right backs that I was even looking at. They went down a lot today because what I did not factor into the right back situation was we had two right backs and ultimate thoughts, and they were very, very packable because nobody else, you know, you weren't packing any of the other cards. A lot of people got Carvajal and Trent Alexander Arnold from rewards yesterday, which made La La, which made Hakimi and Wombusaka all drop, unfortunately. So I should have seen that one coming. But if you did not invest there and if you invested in other areas, you did make sure, you did have a decent sized profit margin because a lot of stuff really did rise up. This Blancard was 400K, 385 is where I got one at. He's now 500,000 coins. I sold mine even a little too early at like 480. So stuff is probably going to keep rising unless we get content today into the day, Friday and Saturday. Reach a peak point there and then drop off from the week and they sell off, which you will probably see a decent amount of weekendly sell off still. Some people will probably keep their teams, but I still think you'll see a sell off because people are just now in tune and they're used to buying their teams on Wednesdays and Thursdays and selling them on Sundays because we get all this content during the week for most of the year. People are just used to selling their cards for a weekend league to get coins to do whatever during the week. So that's kind of what I would expect. If you want to buy stuff this weekend, if you need to sell stuff, if you're looking to buy a card, maybe for your end game team and you think it's going to drop lower this weekend, by all means, there will be some cards that drop really low this weekend. But if you want to buy any cards, I think Sunday nights probably going to be a good time for you unless we get some sort of content dropped today in FIFA Ultimate Team like in SBC, if they continue team this season, which I don't think is going to happen. Honestly, boys, we are just in that part of the year where stuff slows down a lot and it's unfortunate. It's just the pattern of the game. It's just what goes on and it's just what you can expect to see on foot. Stuff is going to be slowing down a lot, a lot less content. We've been looking at every single day at 6 p.m. U.K. We've been, boom, in the SBC section looking to see what SBCs come out. Probably for the next couple weeks, there's not going to be much if anything unless EA runs a new promo or something that you're really going to see come out. So, footage is the next thing that we're really waiting on and tats is over, boys. Tats is really over. So, it's been a fun ride. It's been fun. We've done a lot of upgrades specifically on this channel, specifically on this channel. I have spent in total. I have about 4 million coins right now, a little over 4 mil. I started team this season with about 17 million coins. So, I'm down to 4, but I also made about 2 to 3 million coins just from flipping in that 6-week period from doing Thursday flips, especially during the prem. I made like a mil during prem, and then after that, I made smaller amounts each week as I had less coins, but I made about like 3 million coins during tats. So, 20 million coins in total, and we're down to about 4. So, I spent about 16 million coins on upgrade packs, and of course, we have one of the craziest untradable clubs to show for it with an untradable squad here except for TELAS, and then just a crazy amount of SBCs that we were able to craft as well. So, again, this is why, and if you guys watched me and you're like, man, this guy did so many upgrades, yes, I had ridiculously crazy pack luck, but this is why I grinded my coins for the entire year, and I traded specifically really hard in the second half of the year, was to get a chance at doing upgrade packs, and it paid off massively. You know, it paid off massively way better than I would have ever imagined. It was a crazy tats for me. I hope it was good for you with your pack weight, your red picks, all that sort of stuff. But yeah, team of season was a crazy one. It was a freaking crazy one, but it's over. So, team of season is over. It's really, really, really going to slow down. I'll still be covering the content on the market and on the game, but it's probably going to be maybe a little bit of a lesser rate just because if there's not new stuff coming out every day that we have to talk about, you might not see a video from me every day because if there's nothing to talk about, then I mean, you know, what am I going to talk about here on the channel? We'll might be doing some other things. There's some talk of like pro clubs, like career mode, and maybe some other trading challenges that we'll be doing over the summer, the summer, over the summer, this summer, on the channel. But until Foody's rules around, it's going to be kind of quiet on FIFA, I think, unless EA changes something up. So, we will see what they do. But regardless, for this weekend, good luck with your champ's games. Again, ultimate thoughts are in rewards. So, you have a chance of packing the big boys again next week. If you got a Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, any of those big boys this week, GGs, all right, we want to be like you next week. I know a lot of people are starting to leave the game and I totally understand if you are, if you're not going to be tuning into the channel, I understand that because this game is definitely in the downturn, the lower stages, some would call it almost dead. I wouldn't call it dead yet. I wouldn't call it dead yet because ultimate thoughts are still out. People are still home playing this game and Team of the Season really hyped up people to play foot. So, a lot of people like made new clubs, made new squads for this promo during Team of the Season and they're still kind of on like the new team, the new game, the new club, they're just kind of motivated to play still. So, I don't think this game is not going to die. There's still going to be plenty of opportunities to trade, but there's going to be a lot less action in terms of content that EA is putting out. So, we'll see what they do today. Again, it's all dependent on what happens today. If nothing happens, it's just again, a normal week and week prices go up and they're going to start trickling down and we will see what happens in the next few weeks with Ultimate Team and with the content that happens. But, handshakes all around for a fun Team of the Season. It was okay for the most part. I might do a specific Team of the Season rate the promo video in the future, maybe the next few days over the weekend. That might be something you see. So, we'll talk about doing one of those. But, yeah, there was a lot of stuff that happened during TOTS. Again, hope it went well for you. It did go well for me. And again, good luck for this weekend league.
