 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We're making a video today about the best investments for the upcoming promotion of Black Friday with a lot of panic happening on the market already. I wanna sit down and take an early look at what some of the best buys could be this year in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team as we head into the Black Friday promo. Now, whether you're looking to buy a team or just invest in cards to make profit after Black Friday when the market goes up, we're gonna talk through some things today with gold cards, icons, out-of-pack specials, and SBC fodder that will help you make some more informed decisions and especially maybe help you formulate a game plan as we head into that time period and how you can make some coins during this time. We also know, or we obviously know that the market is down a lot already. We have a lot of gold cards that are down in price, a lot of very meta items, a lot of out-of-packs cards are down in price, and I'm gonna talk about some of these cards today as well as just cover some general investments of things that always go up after Black Friday because one, the biggest thing about Black Friday is so many coins are put onto the game. They're put onto the market from the lightning rounds, from the pack supply, and all that sort of stuff. That's one of the biggest things that we do see from the Black Friday time period. So, let's head over to football and look at some prices from last year, from last year. I'm gonna start with actually out-of-packs cards because this is my favorite investment during the Black Friday timeframe. This is out-of-packs cards, whether it be specials or informs. I just wanna show you some of the movements that happened last year with some of the cards and how to find cards that you'll be able to make a lot of coins off of this year and why some of these cards went up last year. Now, the Scream team last year was very rare. There was not a lot of them that came out of the packs. They became very rare after they went out of packs, very similar to the Rule Breaker cards of this year. Big fan of Rule Breakers this year, rising after Black Friday, especially the really meta ones, and we'll talk about some of those cards here in a second. But, here's an example of a card that went up after Black Friday, and you can see. You might ask, when's my buy time for some of this stuff, right? The out-of-packs informs, what you're gonna see is a common trend, especially every week this year, on Sunday nights, Saturday nights, and Sunday nights for out-of-packs informed cards, that is like the best time to buy any of those. So, depending on what happens this weekend with the content, we'll have to kinda make that decision then, but as you can see here, Odomenny goes from 2.19 for the weekend, up to 2.50, back down to 2.20 on that Sunday, and then it rises a little bit up to 2.40 throughout the week, and then boom. The Black Friday promotion comes, all the coins get onto the market, and a week later, he's all the way up at 300,000 coins on that next weekend league. So, if you bought this card at 2.20 the week before, Black Friday, you're chilling, right? You made a lot of coins in that card, you could hold that as an investment, or even you could have sold them right here at 2.70, and made a solid bit of profit, and not had to hold as well. So, that's what I wanna show you is some of these out-of-packs cards. Now, which of these out-of-packs cards do the best? Let's take a look at Insignia here. Insignia went for them 835,000 coins the weekend before Black Friday, all the way up to 985, so we went up to almost a million coins. Now, why did Insignia and Odomenny go up the most? These two cards were very, very good, and they were also rare for their position. Insignia was very meta, 520, remember we had all the bannetter, high agility, high balance with the pace, that was the meta last year, also part of the meta this year. And this guy was a rare card out-of-packs, kind of on the more expensive range that people could upgrade to in their teams as they got more coins from Black Friday, and then Odomenny, there were not very many special cards, they were Premier League center backs last year, and that's why this guy went up so much. That's a huge rise for a 200k card, going from 220 to all the way up to 300k. That's a really, really massive rise on a 200,000 coin card. So, we'll talk about in a minute how many, what cards I could see similar to this this year, but just kind of think along those lines, right? A rare card in its position, hyped, meta, and just a card that you commonly see as one of the most popular cards in this game. Those are the cards that get bought up, right? But those are also the cards that get panicked hold for some reason. So, these two cards were great last year, a lot of the Scream cards went up last year, a lot of out-of-packs, Informs went up as well. I looked at Antoine Griezmann's left-wing 90-rated Inform last year. That was one that went up a lot out-of-packs, but I do wanna talk about some cards that do not go up out-of-packs, and those are Informs and out-of-packs specials that get into the best-of team of the week, and those are cards that they put in packs last year. They've done it for the past two years. Could they do it this year? Yes. Could they also include rule-breakers in this? It's a possibility. Instead of best-of team of the week, they could do something that's just like best-of FIFA 21, and not only put team of the weeks in packs, but they could also put rule-breakers and other special cards back in packs, maybe even wrote to the finals. That would be a bit scary, but for now, we're assuming that it's just going to be best-of team of the week. But take a look at this. If you have any cards that are considered, that could be possibly getting in best-of team of the week, this is the kind of drop-off that you can see. Kevin De Bruyne from 640,000 coins in early November drops all the way down. On the date of Black Friday, he drops down to 400K, and after that, he continues to landslide from all the supply that happened. This happened till Ben Yetter's informed last year as well, and just taken a quick screen through some of the team of the weeks. What cards would I expect to get in best-of team of the week this year? Ben Yetter could get it again, possibly Lewandowski. You know, maybe a guy like Sergio Ramos gets in, they could put in a Kyle Walker, if I'm being completely honest. A Marcus Rashford, if they wanted to throw in rule-breakers, maybe Kane, Costa, other informs that could get in, possibly Benzema. Of course, Messi, and this 89-rated Bruno Fernandez could get in the best-of team of the week. Now, this team of the week, we have Mane, Kante, Insigne. So there's a lot more higher tier informs that have now been released the past two weeks, honestly, with Messi, Bruno, Mane, Kante, Insigne. Those are all cards that could get in best-of team of the week if EA decided to do that again. So what I would expect is those card prices are probably dropping until Black Friday, until we figure out if those cards do get in best-of-team of the week or not. But again, out-of-pack special cards are my number one favorite investment during the Black Friday time period, just because of the lack of supply that they have, and people get more coins, so they go out, and maybe somebody who was rocking like Gold, Benjamin, Mendy before, or like Gold, Rusillian, now packs somebody during Black Friday with their, you know, putting on FIFA points with lightning rounds, and now they can afford a guy like Kamara. So guys that I would look to buy into would be the guys that are the most hyped, right? Think about these rule breakers' cards that are very rare. Think about cards that are very, very hyped up at price. This Llorente, right? Has been a FIFA favorite since the beginning of the year. He was 356,000 coins. Now I know he had an Inform that came out that dropped his price. He went down to 260 after that came out. Now he's down to 210, right? If this guy is like under 200,000 coins or even close to 200K again this weekend, that is like a screaming buy for me. Honestly, all these rule breakers should be good buys. If you want to get yourself a Harry Kane, I am contributing and kind of comparing this card a lot to this Insignia card from last year is what I would say. They're very similar in terms of rating and just a high tier striker. Insignia went down a little bit right before Black Friday and then boomed up. And this Harry Kane card is like super rare and has super high amount of hype in this game. So that would be a card. If you can get him in like one, one lows, maybe out of this weekend league sell-off or at some point this weekend, that'd be a great time to get in some of that. I'm honestly eyeing Andre and Kamara just because of how many games play these guys have. We do this all the time on the Twitch livestream, right? Link in the description by the way. We always check to see, we call it a hype check, right? We look at the amount of games played that these cards have. Like this is by non-hold is a very, very popular card. 191,000 games played. There's really not many other special cards that are left-backs in their Premier League. Now, this Jimenez, 300,000 games played, is a very hyped up card. This Van Onhals is very rare though. Just look at a lot of these cards. We call it a hype check, right? We look through how many games played they have to share a 305,000 games played. Marco Royce, how many, 100,000 games played. But he's a very rare card. DeMaria, there's a lack of right wings in this game. 170,000. So looking through a lot of these so far, Jimenez looks like a pretty good investment to me. What about Quadrado? 259, so looking through these teams and looking and see which cards have the most games played, if you can kind of see how we're looking at that up here on the top. That's where I'm finding that right here. That's a great way to kind of gauge the hype on an out-of-packs inform card. And you can do this with Team of the Weeks as well. One guy that I remember flipping last year was Inform Ricardo Perea and Inform Theo Hernandez outside full-backs that were very popular in this game. Couple cards that I might keep my eyes on from Team of the Weeks, right? This Team of the Week 3 is really rare. Ramos, Partay, Firmino, Walker, if he doesn't get into best of Team of the Week, I'd keep an eye on those. Team of the Week 1, also very rare. Jamie Vardy is a Premier League English striker. Oop Makano with the Bundesliga and French links would be a good one. Of course, Alan St. Maximon, even Theo Hernandez this year. Holland could be a good one as well. So just a lot of these Team of the Week cards are gonna be great investments, especially on the mid-tier. Kimmich could be one that would be spectacular. Zaha, five star of skills. Valverde, this is a very OP Inform. This guy was over 300,000 coins. He's now down to 250, 260, and that would be the sort of investments that I feel the most comfortable in this year. And the out-of-packs Informs are my favorite. That's why I spent the most time talking about those today. If you're making a pure investment, right? You're just buying a card to watch it go up after Black Friday. Out-of-packs cards are your number one investment there. And if you're gonna add them to your team, that's a bonus, right? You're buying a card, putting your team maybe for a week or two, and then selling before we get into foot mis, and all of that. But that's enough about out-of-packs Informs. I would also throw Road to the Finals in that same scenario. You can see a guy like Kante went up a little bit last year, went down the week before Black Friday, and then of course, boomed up that next week with Champions League games happening, and then of course the upgrades happening in early December. So keep a close eye on these Road to the Final cards if there is panic selling that comes this next weekend. Keep an eye on those as well, because these are very hyped up cards. They're up already in price a little bit. Gareseman's up 50K. You know these guys are up. Just watch the panic selling this weekend because these guys could be great investments as well. But let's talk about some gold cards and then icons as well and SBC fodder. So last year Mbappe peaked like three weeks before, dropped down, and was as absolute lowest the weekend before Black Friday. Now I talked about this last week. I think Mbappe, as we talked about before, is at a very viable price right now just the amount of hype that this card has this year. He is very, very overpowered. This guy's down over 150,000 coins. I think he's gonna explode after Black Friday, but when is gonna be the absolute best time to buy? We've talked about it's so hard to time and so hard to figure out when is the absolute, absolute best time to buy? So I think you're gonna spend way too much time trying to figure that out for either Mbappe or Mbappe or any of these really meta cards. You're gonna spend way too much time trying to figure out that best time to buy. So this weekend after Weekend Link sell off or if there's a lot of panic on Friday, Saturday with icon SBCs possibly coming out. Take a look at these cards, right? Take a look at these guys and it might be a time where you buy these for your team to watch them go up after Black Friday. That's kind of my only gold card investment. Honestly, it would be like an Mbappe, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, some of the other meta golds, right? Like a Paul Pugba from last year. So he was down the week before Black Friday, of course, right here, 250,000 coins Xbox, 289,000 on the PlayStation. And then two weeks later, he's back up to over 300K. The gold cards just don't have the return on the investment that the informs and the out-of-packs cards and some of the icons do, just because they're still in packs and their pack weight is a lot higher than some of those cards. And you have to be careful with cards. They're gonna get packed a lot that maybe aren't the most tight because check this out, Leroy Sane, right? Week before Black Friday, he's 120K. Black Friday comes. He goes back down. He goes all the way down to 100,000 coins, pops up a bit and then crashes even more into foot miss. But some of these cards that are even 85, 86, 87 rated are just gonna get supplied a lot. And if they're not a super duper meta card that a lot of people like to have in their teams, this year, I would classify like Kante as super meta. Sun, Ratchford for sure. Joe Gomez, Ferland, Mendy, Demo, Werner, Mane. You know, if it's somebody who's maybe lower down here on this list, you know, maybe like a Griezmann wouldn't bounce that much or a DeYoung or even like a Gold Aguero wouldn't be a card that I would expect to bounce up that much after Black Friday. I would mostly expect that kind of card to go down. Now let's talk about a guy like Ferland Mendy for a second. A lot of you guys want this guy or Joe Gomez for your team and you're scared, right? Cause they're 83 rated. What's gonna happen is so many people want this card for their team. They're really not that packable. There's so many packs open. So it's like, what do you do with any of these cards? In my opinion, what you could do is just manage and watch the sell off again as we head out of this weekend because Ferland Mendy was 100 and what? 40,000 coins. He dropped down to 100K, went back up to 117 and is now down to 109. This is still gonna be the best left back in the game. In my opinion, I think if you wanna take the safe route, you could wait to buy this card until the lighting rounds on that Friday of Black Friday, if you wanted to. That might be a good shout there. Same thing with Joe Gomez, waiting for the lighting rounds on these cards because you might see just a huge amount of supply in the first hour to two hours and then the card going up from there. I don't think I wanna risk it with the pack weight. If you do wanna buy beforehand, then we can resell off this weekend, could work for you as well. But that's just something to consider with some of these really meta cards that are low rated that still have a lot of hype. So just kinda think about that there. That's kind of like the toughest situation out of Black Friday, like those low rated gold cards. Is the supply gonna overwhelm the demand? But the demand is so high for those cards and they're still so OP and usable in this game that I still think they're gonna maintain their price and they're not gonna drop a ton. Now, let's talk about icons really quick as well. I'm gonna talk about Eusebio, right? A really high tier. If you're like a pro player watching this video or you've got gobs of coins, buying some of these icons in the panic this Friday because we're supposed to get, I think, icon SBCs is the rumor. This Friday could be icon SBCs. So just watch out if there's any panic on babies, middles, icons that are in packs right now. Keep an eye on that panic and the weakening sell off that comes after that this weekend because as you can see, a guy like Eusebio was 4.8 million coins. He rose to 5.3 million coins as one of the most meta icons in this game. And then some sneaky ones, right? This is baby Mateus, right? A lot of people use this guy in like a five back formation and then play him as a midfielder in game. He went from 8.90 all the way up to 1.1 mil two weeks after Black Friday. So there's a lot of middle and base icons that are gonna rise up a bunch. Think about the new icons like Pushkas, like Etoe, like Fernando Torres. Now, of course, if we get an icon SBC for one of these that might kind of change their value a little bit. But just think about some of these cards that are very OP, very meta that people just want to use or try out as a new icon in this game. Those would be some of the ones that I would look at or staple icons, right? Like Baby Desai as in a French center back icon, 900K. This would be a card that I would keep my eye on as well. If there's any panic selling this next week, this would be the type of guy that I would expect to rebound. Carlos Alberto in there as well. Just the meta icons that are very good value that people like to have in their teams. And one thing you can do too, if it's an icon that's been in the game for a while, like let's say mid-ride card. You're like, yo, I want mid-ride card for my team. Is this guy gonna rise a lot after Black Friday? I would say he's probably gonna rise regardless, but is it a lot? Is your question, go back to last year, right? Go back to foot bin and let's search up right card. Let's look up right card really fast, right? It's a position change. That's one thing about some of these icons that are really good as well. Let's go Generations FIFA 2088 right card. And let's see what happened last year because I'm kind of curious on this item. So Black Friday starts right about here. He's 675k, the week in the sell-off before Black Friday. He goes all the way up to 770. So we went up 100,000 coins in a span of two weeks after Black Friday. So that's the kind of stuff that I would look at in terms of the icon market. Icons are gonna be the cards that really rise the most. If you find the right ones that people really want for their teams. Icons, probably some of the rule breakers, some of the road to the finals are really gonna boom because people are gonna have way more coins and they're gonna be okay spending that high amount of value, coin value for guys that are live items that are very expensive on the game. So Soco would be somebody I would expect to go up a lot after rewards today. You know, you're gonna get more of an accurate price and see where he's gonna be valued at. Same with Hazard, right? But people will pay for those high tier cards in this time period. Last thing I wanna talk about is SBC Fodder. All right, so SBC Fodder right now before rewards is actually getting panic sold a little bit. Fodder's down. But I'm not here to talk about that per se. I'm here to talk about during the Black Friday timeframe what we had last year on the game is we had a lot of SBCs that came out day one of Black Friday and with all the packs applied that people were expecting, I don't know if you remember this or not, but there were two new SBCs that came out on Black Friday. There was a flashback. I think it was a flashback Battletellie and there was a player moments Morales which is a very good value SBC that a lot of people went out and did. But there was also the base icon repeatable upgrade and what happened was people stopped doing that upgrade SBC two or three days before because they thought, hey, Fodder is gonna go cheap during the first couple hours of Black Friday. We're gonna buy it up then and go do our SBC then. But what happened was people just started buying 85, 86, 87 rated cards because of those new SBCs coming out, there was like double demand and the 85, 86 cards shot up after like at the start of Black Friday when all these packs are coming on the market, 85, 86 is shot up in price. I can show you the graphs from last year because people went out to dupe the new Morales, the Battletellie and the icon SBC, the repeatable base icon. So actually Fodder went up. Then it dipped down like a little bit after that because like people who had invested started selling and all of that kind of stopped because people realized, hey, these prices are too inflated and then it went back up into the nighttime. So just SBC Fodder is honestly gonna be a great way to trade on the actual date of Black Friday. So if you're looking in terms of how do you wanna make coins? Like if you're not buying a team, hopefully this video, if you're buying a team helps you out like, hey, I wanna buy these cards then. Again, a lot of the buy time I'm looking for out of packs cards for icons is gonna be this weekend. I know we've already had cards that have dropped really low but you've seen them rebound a little bit and that can kind of give you a little bit of sense of security that, hey, if it's rebounded this week, if a card is rebounded this week, that will tell you that it's a very meta card. A lot of people want to use that item in this game and that should tell you that it should be rising and be a high riser after Black Friday. So that is one kind of nice thing. And if you've seen a card bounce up this week that you can kind of put in the back of your mind. That's why I've been watching some of the rule breakers this week, like Mertens has been fluctuating from around 500K to like 520. Whoa, what is that? Huh, Mertens. Wait, what? What am I seeing? Did I just see this with my own eyes? A rule breaker Mertens for 346,000 coins. The dude goes for 500K. Let's freaking go. What is that dude? That was literally on the market for like 10 seconds as well. This is PlayStation 4. Anyways, I'm gonna send it to my transfer list and collect my cheeky 200K. There we go. Anyways, boys, watch out for the panic selling this weekend with the sell off from the good ol' weakening sell off and any panic that we do see with icons. That just completely threw me off the tail end of this video, boys, I'll be honest. That sale completely, or that snipe completely threw me off there. But anyways, boys, that's what I'm thinking about the best Black Friday investments that you can make. I love the Out of Pack special cards because that's what people like to do to buy and to upgrade their teams after Black Friday and you're gonna see rises right away on that Friday, Saturday night. So if you do have any questions, drop them down below in the comments. I know that's a lot to absorb in this video. There's gonna be more videos kind of zeroing in on maybe some sub-sectors of this video. We'll look at icons, special cards, gold cards next week after the weekend, a little bit, especially on the Saturday night, Sunday night timeframe. So stick around for those videos as well. But I wanted to get this one out early to you guys today just to talk about the, just kind of the mindset and get your minds ready so that you can prepare for this upcoming weekend where you might see some low prices. So if you enjoyed this video, smash your thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel for new. It's been Nathan Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace out.
