 Hey guys, this is Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Team of the group stage is here. What an insane day on the market. There's a lot of things that I wanna look at with you guys today, talking about what we saw in the market and especially the big time SBC that we have been promised. Thanks to EA Sports FIFA and that really is changing everything on this market. Literally is changing everything the way that the player prices are acting. I wanna talk about the team, the group stage cards, as you can see in my transfer targets. That is like all that I've been looking at is these new cards, looking at their prices and possibly some fluctuations into the new day tomorrow. Wow, that's low. That is a big undercut right there. I'm very tempted by that. I'm very, very tempted by that. And you're gonna see that I haven't added a lot of cards to my watch list today. I've been very tempted by a lot of cards, trying to flip them. It is a very popular thing to do to try to flip some of these new cards that come out when they're rare. But these cards are supplied a ton and that is one reason why I'm not a super fan of really looking at these cards and flipping them. I probably should have bought that, De Bruyne. I really should have bought that card. If I see an undercut at like 740, I will because I've already flipped one at night and I wanna talk about that. Some people that list these cards up, man, they're hard to get to because De Bruyne has an Inform and a UCL card so it's really hard to sift through those cards for a lot of people. And that also is kind of hard for some of the people that like sniping. It's kind of hard to set up filters for some of that stuff. And that's why you see so many De Bruyne's on my watch list, just because you can, I'm just trying to figure out his price, man. I'm really just trying to figure out his price and what his price should be. You see, there's a lot of them around like 780, 790. So I'm not gonna buy that one at 750, but I would buy at 730. I bought this card tonight at 730, flipped it for 787 just because it was a low undercut. And that was a nice little flip that I got there and made a little bit of profit on that. But that's besides the point. These cards, this is like the highest pack weight I think I've ever seen for promo cards in the store. Look at this, from an ultimate team, from an ultimate pack, the UEFA Champions League team of the tournament player, 7.1% chance of packing that card. That is off the charts. That is literally off the charts. That is so freaking high. It's weird because EA knows what they're doing with these cards. They're supplying them and putting them into the market for whatever reason that is. And a lot of these cards, man, I mean, this team, by the way, I'll be open and honest with you guys, probably a lot of you lost coins today. I lost coins today. I invested before the drop because I did not think the team was gonna look like this. We got a mental team today. Unreal player selection from EA for this promo. I mean, the starting 11 is insane player, son, Lebedosky. I mean, you see the guys, even the bench. Merton's on the bench. Taliso is a really nice card. Haaland is very deserved. Taglifiko objective is awesome. Lataro is awesome. This Benzman SPC is actually good value as well. But this was an incredible team today and that caused the market to drop. But especially this tweet from EA Sports right here. This is gonna have major, major, major market implications for this next week of FIFA because this SPC is just massive, man. Messy player of the month, SPC. Have we ever had a messy SPC in FIFA to get a messy card? I don't think so. Because some people that play messy, like it is their goal to get messy for the entire year of FIFA. That's what they're trading to. That's what they're trying to do with their ultimate team. And they have a chance to do it this early in the game to get a 96 rated messy card via SPC. It's gonna come out. We know it's gonna come out and it's guaranteed. That's the big thing about this, that we know it's coming. Leo Messy, one player of the month, and he's actually gonna get an SPC. We thought he was gonna win a player of the month. We weren't sure if he was gonna get the SPC and he actually is. The GG is the E on that one for actually giving him the SPC. But this is going to make the market go crazy. It already has today, in my opinion. You saw so much panic selling today. A lot of informs are down. A lot of people lost some coins. And if you're somebody who lost some coins on informs, like how much is this money informed right now? This morning, I was looking at these cards before the drop and I was like, man, Mane has 700K, man. 700K for this inform is ridiculous. 705,000 coins for Mane. Some of these cards are even lower before. But these cards are just going lower and lower and it's gonna keep going that way, man, because so many people are gonna want this messy SPC. The weekend leaks sell off this weekend. I'm really worried about it. It's Saturday night into Sunday. I'm really worried about the weekend leaks sell off and possibly the drop that we could see on some of these prices even going lower as people get coins ready to invest to do Player of the Month messy. And that's gonna be the main point of my video today. We're gonna talk a lot about that SPC and what I think it means for the market. Now, right now when I'm recording this video, high-rated's are up. Well, they're not crazy up. 87-rated players at 22K is not that crazy. 86 is at 14, not that crazy. 87's at seven to eight, especially for the ones with good links, not that bad. 84-rated's 4K for some of the good-linking ones with like Ozil, not bad. So some of the lower-rated stuff, 83's are not bad as well. 88's and 89's, I would like to see you get a bit lower, but I think those are some of the most obvious investments that a lot of people are going to invest in. Even some of the 90's as well. Terstegen out-of-packs is the cheapest, tied for the cheapest, 90-rated card at the moment. Pretty crazy. But there's gonna be so many people investing in these high-rated's throughout the week this week after week in the rewards for this messy SBC. I don't know what they're gonna require for it. I would imagine that high-rated SBCs would be the most obvious and it would make sense. That would be the requirement that makes sense the most. So I think that's the obvious thing to invest in. Now, I'm probably gonna be buying some of these cards tomorrow during Lightning Rounds. Saturday during Lightning Rounds, I think could be a good shout to get some of these cards in your clubs, in your squads. And you have to think about it this way too. Some of the guys that are the cheapest 89's right now, like Lewandowski, 42K is one of the cheapest 89's. He's inflated a little bit. Same with Cool Bali. Well, look for some of those guys on bids because they're out-of-packs. Like Lewa right now is out-of-packs. His buy now is 42K for his gold card. Let's check that. 42K for Lewandowski. Yes, 40,000 coins. You know what, I'm gonna buy that. See, people know he's out-of-packs, man. He is out-of-packs and people know that. Look at that, 43,000 coins for Lewandowski. But you can get on some of the bids and possibly get some of these cards when people Panic sell them, list them up for open bid for the out-of-packs cards and for the normal cards. Get on the bids, especially if it's nighttime or especially during Lightning Rounds. I think those high-rated golds are gonna continue to drift up this week and there's gonna be some money to be made there, especially on like the 87s and the 86s that aren't really that much up in price yet. So you might see me start to stack a few of those in my club because I think the focus is we, obviously we have a team in the group stage with these cool cards out that are getting packed everywhere and it's actually pretty, not easy to pack them, but 7% chance to pack one of these cards is honestly mental and that's why you see so much supply on them. But the fact that that messy SBC is looming over our heads, I said that a lot on the stream tonight that that SBC is kind of just like it's there. It's looming over our head, we know it's coming and there's so many people I saw on like Twitter and making comments on my videos today about that messy SBC wanting to know how much is it gonna cost, what is it gonna require? Dude, to be honest, I really don't know. We've never had an SBC like this in FIFA. This is a brand new uncharted territory for FIFA, a messy player of the month SBC. We've had icon SBCs and that's like the closest thing that I could compare to messy, what it would be like. This SBC should probably cost somewhere around like 2.5 to 3 mil, which is what some of the icon SBCs costed, they required two icons. But EA specifically stated in the icon patch notes earlier on this year when they talked about icons and the changes for this year, they specifically stated that they were not going to be using icons as a requirement in SBCs. Now, that would make sense for them to require icons for messy. So if you're a real tinfoil hat thinker and you really think that's gonna happen, maybe go pick a couple of them up. Baby icons I think are like 180K maybe. So that really wouldn't even increase the price that much. Although, if they did require these, actually it's less than 180. You would see these cards go up in price a considerable amount if they did require they got 148 for Nzagi. So you would see these icons go up in price if they did require them for sure, which would make the price of messy go up, which could make EA wanna use them, but they did say they weren't going to. So that's my thought on those. That would be a kind of investment where you probably wouldn't lose too much if you bought one, but it has a really low chance of actually coming through. I think they're just gonna require a lot of informs, a lot of high-rateds. I don't think they're gonna require messy's card, man. Messy's card in itself is just too many coins and it's too rare on the market. I mean, his card would probably go to, I mean, this card at 1.4 million, 1.414. It's actually getting, it's getting sold off right now. People are actually probably finishing their week on the games, getting their 14 wins and listing this card up and getting the coins for it. And that's what I get. You're gonna see a lot of that on the market this weekend because of this SBC, but I just think people, there's no way that gets required. I cannot see that happening at all, not in a million years. They're gonna require high-rateds, I think, informs. Maybe they could require UCLs and possibly like a full squad of UCL cards and maybe those would go up too. We'll see what that. I could see them throwing some of those requirements in there but probably a lot of Barcelona players, they're definitely gonna make, they're gonna pinch some requirements. They're gonna have to, right? I mean, he's gonna be on this cool card design. It's gonna be Messy's face. It's probably gonna be a right-wing card. He played most of the month there but we will see on that. That's the biggest thing. We're gonna be talking about that SBC all through this next week of videos and talking about that because it's huge, it's massive. And it's gonna be bigger than this team of the group stage promo. That SBC is gonna be bigger than this promo. But I wanna get back to talking to the promo for just a little bit because there were some crazy market movements on the promo today as well. We got two SBCs, pack SBCs for a 25K pack and a rare player pack. UCL rare player pack. This one's not really worth it in my opinion. This one you can do for decently easy. And then Karen Benzema. Four star, four star. I mean, it's not the most insane card ever but this is actually a pretty solid SBC. If you're a Madrid fan, if you're a card collector this one's not gonna really like take a lot of coins from you. 70,000 coins I think this SBC is. It's like an 83 and an 84 rated squad. And 83s and 84s are pretty cheap. That's why you see those low. There's not a lot of demand for this SBC just because of the card. But it's a solid card. So I do kind of like this SBC if you're a Madrid fan or a Benzema fan. That SBC could be for you. Now I wanna talk about more stuff related to the market and these cards this weekend. Now first of all, I want people to understand. And I want you to comment down below if you did not know this, don't be ashamed. It's gonna be okay, right? Own up to it if you have to. These cards, a lot of people think that they are live. They are not live items. These cards are not live items. They will not get upgraded in this game, okay? Salah will always be a 91 for the rest of FIFA. This is not a live item. But I'm telling you guys right now, there are still a lot of people that don't watch my videos and a lot of people that don't understand this. And EA doesn't make it easy for them, right? They included two cards in this team. Bruno Fernandez, who is, what is his rating? Is he 86 rated? Let me look this up really quick. Bruno Fernandez, the center attack mid from Portugal, who got a Europa League team of the group stage card. And I talked about this in my video yesterday. This card design that they gave Bruno Fernandez, this is the live item design from last year. It's the same card design that was used for live items ribs of the finals last year. So this is going to confuse people, okay? This is going to confuse people. You are going to see these cards rise up in price after games, before games, not after games. They're going to go down after games, but or maybe after games, if they win, these people are in this game are going to think that these cards are basically road to the finals. You're going to see it happen. It's going to be a thing, okay? I'm telling you right now, these cards are probably going to rise up into Tuesday and Wednesday, a little bit, not a ton, but a little bit. I'm not saying that's an investment point because I'm not sure what the prices are going to look like after today and after Sunday, but I'm saying it's going to happen, okay? It's really going to happen. So don't get caught up on that if you want to try and trade with it, that is a possibility. I'm just letting you guys know that, that these are not live items, okay? But some people in this game are still going to treat them like they are, just because they're uninformed, and that's the way that it is. We can't really do too much about that because EA doesn't go out and clarify things like that, because EA realizes that could sink some coins out of people's clubs if they don't tell people that they're live. So it's kind of sick, but it is what it is. And for these cards to have a 7% pack ratio right now, 7% chance out of a 125K pack. Now I know that's like the top pack that we see in FIFA, but 7.1% chance is insane. Literally unbelievable. Mega pack 1.4%. We haven't seen these odds in like, I don't see it so far at least. It's honestly just crazy how high those odds are. If you're wanting to buy any of these team of the group stage cards, for like a long-term buy for your team or you wanna put it in your team, you wanna get that Kool-A-Bali card to link to Allen, you want this Ramos, you want this Tristagan, I would wait this entire week. Basically until Thursday at rewards, I think could be the buy time for these cards because I do believe, it says on the home screen, these are out, yes. So these team of the group stage cards are gonna be out until Friday at 6 p.m. UK. These cards are probably gonna get hit with a lot of supply on Thursday unless they change the pack weight. And at that same time for rewards, they're probably gonna be dipping down as the messy SBC is coming out and everybody is anticipating that. That could be a major buy time for these cards because after the messy SBC, the whole market is basically that messy SBC hanging over us, all the speculation, all the investments, it's all gonna bust out from there. Either people are gonna sell cards and make coins and do the SBC or people are gonna say, this is BS, it's way too expensive and they're gonna go buy their stuff back and these cards are gonna go up, road to the finals, are gonna get upgraded on Wednesday night or Thursday. That's another thing we have to talk about this week. But if you want any of these for your teams, I'm thinking Thursday at rewards or just after rewards is gonna be your buy time on some of these because their pack weight is so high. We might get a pack supply SBC during the week that makes these cards drop 10% like that because one mega pack or one prime electron players pack in an SBC as a pack supply would really change the prices of some of those cards. Road to the final this week as well, boys. If you see panic selling on these cards this weekend, I bought Amarez tonight on a panic listing for 250. 250, he was 320 yesterday, bought him for 250. These cards are getting upgraded on Thursday. The guys that are moving on, the teams that are moving on are getting upgraded on Thursday. Remember, some cards are gonna be getting knocked down to your Rope League if they finish third. So there's a lot of hyper on these cards this week. We'll talk a little bit more about that as the week goes on. I'll highlight some of the guys that are in really interesting positions like Wendell. It's in a really interesting position with his team Juan Jesus as well and Blas. Those guys are all in really interesting positions for where their team is ranked right now in the standings. So watch panic selling on those cards. Watch panic selling on all the special cards this week. I don't know if I'm gonna really be recommending that you guys invest in anything other than SBC fodder and if you're getting in on the SBC fodder, get in sooner rather than later because so many people are gonna start buying that up this week as we get closer to the messy SBC. As people sell off their week in league teams, they're gonna wanna go invest and you guys can definitely get in before that and maybe get in before some of them. Rest of the stuff on the market, we're talking informants, we're talking scream cards, we're talking stuff like that. How much of you guys scream? We'll use him as an example right now, right? If this is something that you see panic sold us, oh my gosh, yeah, this is something that definitely got panic sold today. I don't think I've looked at these cards all day. 269 for Hamas, 263. That is down a lot for a card like this. I would honestly not buy it and try to flip. The only type of flipping that I would do right now would be chem style trading with hunters and with shadows. That's the only type of trading that I would do. Yeah, looking at all the scream cards across the board, they're down. But that's just because of the promo panic today, man. That's just because of the messy SBC and the promo panic and how some of these team of the group stage cards actually come in and are better than some of the scream cards. Take the position of some of the scream cards and stuff like that. So again, be very careful with these group stage cards. A lot of people lost coins today on informs that they had bought before the team was released and even on these cards as well. There's a lot of people that were sniping these today, trying to flip them. Some people made a lot. Some people made a big loss on some of these. So just be again, very, very careful with these. I think their supply is gonna keep, they're gonna keep getting supplied this week through lightning rounds today on Saturday and stuff like that. But again, if you guys wanna get prepared for that messy SBC, take my advice and get on some of the bids for some of those special cards, the 85s, 86s, the 87s, and try to get some lower bids in the 88s, 89s, and look at some of the 86 rated informs from LaLiga as well. Obviously people are investing in like canales and other informs. Just be careful with that, okay? Try to get on the bids. Try to get on the open bids and if you really wanna invest in informs, maybe look at some older team of the weeks as well. Maybe it got like Lecompt. I know he's not really LaLiga or whatever, but he's French. He's gonna be able to be linked in a lot of SBCs and he has an 84 rated inform. So he might not be the best example depending on what his price is, but just go and flip in and look for some of the cheapest informs for their rating and make sure they have good nationalities and stuff. And that could be some good investments for this week. All right, crazy, crazy market today. A lot of people lost coins. That is the gist of the market today. We'll look at the index 100 really quick to end the video. A lot of people lost coins. Just look at this markets going down, down and down. And that just continues with the panic selling of gold cards, the panic selling of informs and specials. Icons are down as well on the lower tier, but some of the upper tier, more meta and like big time icons have rebounded a little bit. Yeah, so this went up a little bit, but still some of these guys are really low. And if you're trying to trade or flip with these icons, I'll be very, very careful coming out of the weekend league, especially for right wing icons, like a Garencia or for a George Best, because some people might be swapping a Garencia out of their team to try to get this messy, all right? Similar positions where there's gonna be a very valuable player to come in and SBC. A lot of people could get that messy, put them in for a Garencia, you know, stuff like that. So I'd be very, very careful with some of the right wing icons, right mid icons, stuff like that this week. You could see some panic selling on that. If you have any questions, drop them down below. I'm sure you guys do have some crazy day on the market. A lot of, do I buy, do I sell? It's just really hard, man. This is just one of those days. The market sells a lot of coins. Even though we lost coins today, pack of weight was good. That means people packed these cards and there was lightning rounds open. That means coins came onto the market. So people do have coins still, but this messy SBC is where a lot of coins are gonna go towards this week. And we're gonna talk about that literally all for this next week.
