 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel for the second time of the day. I didn't even change shirts, man. Same shirt let's freaking go. Anyway, this is Team of the Year preparation video number three, and we're talking about SBCs and SBC Fighter, because Team of the Year is a massive time on the game. It's also one of the times where we get some of the best SBC content that we see all year long, with, of course, upgrade packs that are out. We're trying to pack Team of the Year cards, and that allows us to craft and complete other SBCs that are out in the game, like Icon Pack SBCs, which we got yesterday that's already in the game, and of course numerous flashbacks. They have done Team of the Year moments from years past, like if you guys remember the Gareth Bale, but Player Moments SBCs and the end of an era rune, end of an era cards, they might be throwing out special SBC, there could be anything and everything during Team of the Year. So I'm specifically talking about SBC Fighter, and actually League SBCs as well, and I touch on those for a bit, as we already have mentioned a little bit earlier in the week, but I want to look into those again as well. So we're going to be talking about the SBC Fighter section of the market, which we already had some content released in yesterday on Tuesday, kind of a preface to Team of the Year with the base or mid icon upgrade, which was released yesterday in FIFA as a SBC that's out for 30 days, I believe. This thing's out for a long time, man. And honestly what it is, is this is just an SBC that EA is putting out to sit here during Team of the Year. That will be something you can craft and use your fodder in as we go out this team of the year promotion. Now, there's going to be other SBCs like Player Cards and stuff like that that we will be able to craft, but an SBC like this is going to make the SBC Fighter Market move. And I want to take a look at last year because I feel like last year, of course, it's going to be sort of similar to this year, although we might see more SBC Market fluctuations because there's just more and more SBCs that are put out every year. There was a huge buy time for SBC Fighter last year on FIFA during Team of the Year and a huge explosion in price. And I want to talk about why that happened and how I think it could happen again this year, but you'll be able to swing trade SBC Fighter throughout the week as well. So, again, last year in FIFA we had tons of... We had an icon SBC that was repeatable that was out. We had Flashback, Dava Louise, Player of Moments, Brano Silva, among many other. I think we had like a Flashback Zlatan as well that came out last year around the Team of the Year time period. And I want to show you some graphs and it's very similar looking between a lot of these cards to see what happened last year because of Team of the Year and also kind of talk through where card prices are at right now, where I think they could go to, whether that's up or down, and also picking like the best return on investment in terms of which rating, whether it be 84s, 86s, 88s, somewhere in between, what rating is like the best to invest in around this Team of the Year time frame. So, we're going to start with the lower tier ratings, 84 rated cards, right? Right now 84 rated, that's last year, as per the quota. 84 rated right now in FIFA are like 7 to 8 thousand coins. They're up a little bit and if we take a look at some of these graphs, you can tell that this stuff has been on the rise recently, right? Colman used to be 3,900 coins, but now as we have more and more SBCs out in the game, these cards have started to go up with Icon SBCs and stuff like that, Player of the Months. This Colman card was 9,000 coins, 10,000 coins last week on Wednesday when that Icon SBC released. It's since been down towards the AK range, but I wouldn't consider this to be low, right? We take a look at 84s and yes, earlier in the year there were 4,000 coins. They're probably not ever going to get to that range again since we have more and more SBCs come out during the year. But let's take a look and show you what happened to 84s last year in FIFA. Aspiricueta and Jerome Boateng are our two examples. Take a look at this. Jerome, this is Aspiricueta. At the start of team of the year, January 6th last year on a Monday. So last year team of the year went from Monday to 6th until basically a week after that. So like Sunday or Monday, the 12th or 13th is where it ended. But as you can see, SBC Fodder was up a little bit, 7,000 coins. And then with all the packs after the first day of team of the year on that Monday, this Aspiricueta dropped from about 8,500 coins, 95 on the Xbox, down to 6,800 and 7,500 on respective consoles. And then look what happens the week after. He goes from 6.8k on Sunday of team of the year all the way up to 15,000 coins and basically extinct the week after that. What a crazy rise on an 84-rated right back. Good, of course, for SBCs with the links, right? So he might not have been the cheapest 84-rated on the market, of course, because of his links, his used in SBCs. But look at this skyrocket after team of the year. The same thing happened with Jerome Boateng, right? He started, you know, team of the year time period like 6,800 coins. He drops down to 5,100 coins on that same weekend and explodes. You know, a couple weeks later hits a peak of 8,800 coins. He's up to the high 8,000 range, 9,000 range on the Xbox. Now, of course, you're like, wow, Aspiricueta went from 7,800, like 7,000 coins and he over then doubled his price. Jerome Boateng only went from 5,000 coins to 8,000 coins. He didn't have his greater return on investment, right? One thing to keep in mind is that the outside players center backs this year as well are doing incredibly well in terms of SBC fodder for moving up in price percentage-wise. But take a look, right? We've had SBCs this year, right? Go inside of these cheapest players by rating page on Footbin, I'll put the link to this page down in the description of the video. But take a look at these cards and figure out which ones move the most, right? David Alibis, 12,000 coins right now is an 84-rated card. What's he been at as a low? He's been at, you know, 10,000 coins, you know, 10K, but he's been up to heights of, you know, 13, 14,000 coins, kind of closer to where he is now. When you're looking at these graphs from this year in FIFA, look at the center backs, look at a lot of these cards that are some of the most expensive 84s because technically the more you pay, the more that that means people are paying for these cards anyway, or yours are about 9.5K. If an SBC requires left wings, look at this guy, he was 13K at one point this year, went down to about 8,000 coins, now he's back up to 9,500, right? So what I want you guys to watch for on these 84-rated, especially, is a drop-off because of the amount of packs that are going to be opened in the next few days as we have Friday that comes out, right? Even though there will be SBCs that will be dropped during Team of the Year, people aren't, you know, really working away at a ton of those SBCs until, you know, maybe a couple days in actually because people are worried about upgrade packs, they're worried about the market, trying to pack Team of the Years, and then afterwards, when Team of the Years go out of packs and when they're done grinding the upgrade packs and stuff like that, that's when they look towards, okay, let me try to complete these SBCs. And again, I want to kind of explain why you see such a huge rebound after Team of the Year last year because basically what happens is everybody is grinding upgrade packs where they're packing guys like Inditi, you know, they're packing 83s, 84s, 85s, 86s, and they're doing SBCs and they're opening tradable packs and everything, right? It's all about grinding packs, trying to get Team of the Years. After that, though, you still have SBCs in the SBC section that are still there and people have all these coins after opening Lightning Rounds, after opening Saved Up packs after Team of the Year. People have a lot of coins. There's a lot of SBCs that are still out in the game, that are lingering after Team of the Year, right? Whatever flashback SBCs we get, whatever, maybe if we get a Team of the Year nominee sort of SBC, or of course the icon upgrade that we looked at, kind of like we had that Roberto Firmino freeze card that stayed in the game for like 20 days, the SBCs that we will see during the Team of the Year will probably have longer duration periods where you can complete them in FIFA in this Ultimate Team and be able to do them after Team of the Year. But of course, once Team of the Year is over, your supply on those packs and those upgrade packs stops. So you have people that have clubs halfway full of 83s, 84s, and 85s or half-finished SBCs or just enough fodder in their club to get half of an icon pack done. They want to go finish that icon pack. They have coins to do it that they just got from Team of the Year with packs that were open and stuff like that. So what they do is they go out and they buy SBC fodder and that's why you see crazy, crazy rebounds on these cards like this because of desirable SBCs, repeatable SBCs, and the lack of supply after Team of the Year ends. That's why you see massive, massive rises after Team of the Year last year. This was literally, if you look at Espele Queda, his biggest rise of the entire year was last year after that Team of the Year promotion, right? And what promotion are we going to have right after this? Possibly Future Stars, right? That's another big promo where SBCs have been good and there's been a lot of hype cards that have come out during that period as well. That's why you see this stuff really go up in price because the amount of coins that are on the market and of course the lack of supply that we had during Team of the Year and as these guys get turned and turned more into SBCs and into SBCs, they of course have less supply. So that's why I really like the high quality, good cards with good links and good nations that we always talk about, like this Coman left-wing card, even in Diddy as a CDM, we looked at Alaba even though you're going to pay a little bit more per card. You might be buying Alabas during landing rounds at 9,000 coins when you could buy Coronas at 6K, but your Corona might have a cap or it might only go up to about 9,000 coins, right? It might only go up to 3K, but your David Alaba card might go up to like 15, 16, I don't know what his price range is, but it could go up even further. So you have a higher ceiling and for the cards, EA likes to do SBCs these days with a lot of chemistry. So that bodes well for center backs, right backs, right wings, left wings and center mids from popular leagues, popular nations. The cards that go up this year in FIFA, if you look through some of these 84s, and for all the ratings we're going to talk about, and you see which cards bounce around the most, those are going to be the ones that you want to buy because that's going to be the ones needed for those high chemistry SBCs. So we looked at 84s. Let's look at 86s. We're going to look at Bonucci and Muller, right? Muller was always one of the cheapest 86s. Bonucci was a bit more expensive because of his links, right? What happened last year with these guys? One kind of situation drops down to 13, 14,000 coins and it rebounds to 20,000 coins the week after a team of the year ends. Literally 10 days later, he has almost doubled in price for this Bonucci card. What about Thomas Muller? Thomas Muller was down at 14k and also rose to about 20,000 coins last year. Now, SBC fodder is more expensive this year. 86s, right? Right now they're 22,000, 23,000 coins. Some of them are at 24, 25k. These guys are not going to be 14,000 coins, right? Thomas Muller this year is an 86 rated card is not going to be 14k during team of the year. There's just too many SBCs out and people have too many coins this year. It's raising the SBC fodder market. Now, could this guy be down at like 18,000 coins? Yeah, it's possible, right? It could drop to 20,000 coins, but I don't think you're going to see prices for the 86s, even the 84s like we were looking at. I don't think you're going to see drop-offs to where these guys go below where they were before December. I don't think you're going to see 86s again at 14, 15k. I just think with the amount of SBCs on the market and with the amount of coins in this game, these guys are just going to continually stay high. Now, they could drop a bit after maybe this promo like in March or something when the game kind of collides down a bit and the game loses a bit of its hype. But with the SBCs we have out right now, especially if they do like party bags and stuff for future stars, these guys are just continue to go higher because people are willing to pay. That's one thing that I've learned in the past couple of years is that people are willing to pay just about anything for a sick SBC pack from EA, right? They're willing to pay just about anything to get a cool pack like a party bag or to finish an SBC. They just want that reward and they're willing to do almost anything to get there, right? So, Muller would be a good buy this year. Again, Benucci with a high rise or a high percentage point rise because of his links that he had during the team of the year timeframe. So, 86s are honestly, 86s have been some of the best to trade with like this year because their fluctuations are nuts, right? Verati, 25,000 coins. This dude was literally, this guy goes between 23 and 25K, probably goes like 21 to 26 where you can actually flip him at. He goes, those ranges all the time. He was 22,000, 21,000 coins yesterday on Monday. Boom, SBCs come out, the guy's 25K and boom, he's up here right now. So, I don't think I would buy SBC fodder right now, but again, what we're looking at is we're looking at a buy time on some of this stuff as possibly later in the week during team of the year. Now, it's still gonna fluctuate during the week, but I think you'll still see it continue to go down. It might take a big hit on Friday and then continue to go down with a couple spikes here and there, depending on the content they put out, but we'll be seriously watching those prices and I wanna look at 84s one last minute as well. I know this is getting a little bit long. I wanna look at 88s, sorry, because they rebounded pretty well to 88, David Silva, 26,000 coins during team of the year, rebounded up to 34,000. So honestly, if you're looking at a legit return on investment, 84 is with incredible links, might be some of your best buys. Now you have PK here, who during January went to 25,000 coins and then went back up to 36,37K for a peak the week after. So in my mind, I think this year that 86s are the ones that have been used the most, and if you think about 86s, they're all around more versatile, right? You think about from an 84 rated squad, you might use an 86 for an 88 rated squad and anywhere in between there, you might use an 86. So I really like the 85s. I like the 86s. Even the 87s a little bit, right? We're gonna be getting into team of the year timeframe where they're probably gonna require more of the 88 rated squads, 89 rated squads for the higher tier icons that they put out in this game. So I don't mind the higher rated stuff, but as you can see, like 89 Keelini last year during team of the year went from 34,000 coins to 43. That's only 10K up, right? Some of the other cards went 10K up that were lower rated and it cost less per card to buy them. Now 91 Oblak is somebody I wanna check on too. He went from 48K to 63K. So some of like the 91 rated cards that are in the game this year, those could be decent buys as well. Oblak, Lewandowski possibly out of packs, Allison if he wins the team of the year, Terstagen like the 90 and 91 rated cards, they have their place in this game too just because those big time icon SBCs that do come out in this game. So that's a lot of stuff that we're looking at for team of the year. Now one thing I can guarantee you with SBC fodder is there's going to be SBCs, there's going to be lots of them. It's just gonna be about timing when we see those cards dip and when we see them rebound during that time period. I think you will see again if EA does play it like they did last year you'll see a crazy rise on the SBC fodder after team of the year. Now if you bought SBC fodder earlier this week and you're still holding on to it I would honestly recommend you could cash it, right? You could cash it right now because it is inflated. We just looked at Verati who was 22,000 coins, 21,000 coins and is now up to about 25,000 coins, right? That's a nice little profit right before team of the year starts because I expect a lot of this to go lower with all of the saved up packs being more packs this year than ever because team of the year is later more packs than ever means more supply than ever and I think you can watch these guys will go down during team of the year. Yes, they'll bounce back at some point. We're gonna be in for a major club stock opportunity with these cards later on during team of the year. So I just wanted to point out a lot of that stuff. I think you guys get the point. I think the point has been pushed across that it's a great time to buy SBC fodder and especially exiting the team of the year time frame. We should see a big rise on these cards but they'll still fluctuate around during the promo because EA will release SBCs but there's also just so much pack supply out there that you kind of have to be careful with it as well. Again, number one thing is good league, good nation and look through again. Go to this page. I'll put the link in the description of the video. As I said, look through these, right? Look through these cards. See which ones fluctuate the most even if you're paying an extra couple thousand coins per card because it's just more expensive for that rating. That just means you might see more potential profit because it is needed for SBCs with higher chemistry. So that's the video today. Oh, shoot. I forgot to talk about league SBCs. One last thing, league SBC silvers, right? If you have not looked into this rewards tomorrow on Thursday and squad battle rewards on Sunday night if they haven't risen too much already. The one that comes to mind is West Brom, right? West Brom silvers are like extinct on this game. They're so expensive. But look at silver cards from the league SBCs that are available in this game right now because they are going to rise in that team of the year time period as well because people just want to get packs and packs and more packs. So definitely keep an eye on these cards on days that we have supply. Marquis matchups on Thursday with rewards could be a good time to do this as well. It's just people probably are going to be holding marquis matchups. So just watch the silvers. If you guys are familiar with the SBCs it's a great time to get on these because they should rise with less supply. The packs that are open during team of the year don't have many silvers. It's all rare golds, right? So I think you'll see a lot of the league SBCs stuff go up in price as well during team of the year because people will be grinding those league SBCs for packs to try to pack a team of the year card. So that's what I wanted to touch on with league SBCs. But if you enjoyed this video and it helped you out at all smash the thumbs up on it.
