 Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. And we have a very unexpected thing that is about to happen inside of FIFA 22 today. That is, Icon Swaps is coming today. It is here on a Wednesday. We have this loading screen that EA has released. We have more packs that have been added to the code. And of course, the Icon Swaps token has been added into the code as well. So Icon Swaps is coming today on a Wednesday, which I think is the last thing that anybody ever expected. We were expecting yesterday on Monday, or on a Friday, this upcoming weekend. But EA Sports is saying, nope, we're putting it out on a Wednesday, which technically this is great timing because it feels like there's not a lot to do. And it's versus promo is not very good. So I don't think many people are gonna complain about Icon Swaps being right now. It's just a little bit of a surprise. So I wanna take a look at Icon Swaps. Again, what we know, the leaks of course, and then also what is confirmed to be coming today. And I also wanna take a look at this market because I really do think that the market's gonna be affected by this loading screen. It already has been, been affected by it. There have been some prices that are dropping. And I think that's gonna continue into today as well. As we have the next generation player items, right? That in Boppae Pack with Theo Hernandez, Pulsik, and all those next generation player items. I've got mine right here. We're gonna open it in this video at some point as well. When we talk about actually some more issues that happened with that. But if you're excited for Icon Swaps today, make sure to hit a thumbs up on the video. And of course, subscribe if you are new around here. But let's take a look at everybody's number one priority for today, and that is Icon Swaps. Now again, this is the loading screen that we just looked at. They added the car design to the code. And yeah, Icon Swaps is here, man. I'm surprised. I think everybody is surprised. But these again are the leaks, right? These are the leaked rewards for Icon Swaps and the amount of tokens. Now you may be wondering, Nate, why didn't we see like the 81 and 82 and 83 times 25 packs added to the code yet? How can Icon Swaps be dropping if it hasn't been? But just a couple hours ago as well, they added those packs to the code. They actually added a lot of stuff into the code. 82 times 25, 81 times 25, the 85 times 10. And in 85 times three, along with a prime gaming exclusive pack, the next Amazon Prime gaming pack is gonna be released. That has been added to the code as well. So some big packs that they added. Now again, as we take a look at this, what's your best route gonna be today when Icon Swaps drop? Well, usually how they do it. And I'm not saying this is how it's gonna be. This is gonna be like the number one thing that we're curious about today on this game is how they drop the tokens, right? Usually in Icon Swaps, they kind of put it into two subsections. You have Icon Swaps is released. All the rewards are released. But for the tokens, you can only grind like the first nine of them in like the first, what is it like, 30 day timeframe. And then in the next 30 days, they reset the requirements and you complete the second half of the objectives to get totally your 18 total tokens. I think it looks like it's gonna be 18 total tokens based off of the rewards going up to 17. So that's the same as last year. That's gonna be the biggest question. Are they following like the exact same protocol as they did last year with nine tokens released today? Or are they gonna wait and, you know, are they gonna find something else and do it differently? That's the biggest question for today. So for a lot of these icons and a lot of these packs that are above nine tokens. I mean, you're gonna have people that are opening these packs like the 81, 82, and 83 times 25. People are gonna be able to get those Icon Swap tokens within the first 24 hours. And even the first couple of days that Icon Swaps is released, that's gonna impact the market as well in terms of these foot versus ice cards that are impacts until Friday. So regardless of that, we'll talk about that a little more when we get into the market side of things. These are the expected rewards for today. And again, some of the objectives, the leaks that we have are the Brazil squad, the Argentinian squad, Silver Squad, Air Divisies. So right now I believe like Air Divisies, Silvers, Argentinian and Brazilian Silvers. The people try to combine some of these like in squad battles. They'll try to buy a team of all Brazilian Silvers or like some sort of combination or Air Divisies Silvers so they can get two Icon Swap tokens done at the same time. Now there will also be tokens that will be completed through friendlies, right? And I think those are gonna be most likely top five leagues, right? Usually League One, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and the Serie A. You have to have a couple untradable or first owner players build a squad of 11 or something like that and play some games in a foot friendly and that should be the other portion of the objectives that get dropped today on this game. Now of course they have added the car design into the code as well. This one right here, the Icon Swap's car design and funnily enough, it is actually searchable on the transfer market. We haven't had the foot versus car design has not been added into the search yet but Icon Swap's items, even though they won't be on the market, they've been added to the search, even though we still haven't had the versus ice or fire cards yet, which is still crazy to me. So GG's EA putting that in there already. So it's confirmed boys, Icon Swap's is here. Now today of course, day one, everybody's gonna be rushing out and everybody's gonna be getting on Icon Swap's, getting into the objective tab. Now honestly, I don't think they're gonna put Icon Swap's inside of the objective tab. I think it's gonna have to show up under milestones because again, you can see here 44 days left like the milestones tab, there's no, it's not tied to the season's timeframe at all, right? And the season ends in eight days. Season two resets next week. So I think eight days is too short of a period for EA to put Icon Swap's out. I think it's gonna be under the milestones tab. So just, you know, if you can't find it later today when it's released, check under here because I think it should be inside of here. But this is where everybody's gonna be living for the next two days, especially as we head into this whatever next promo is coming on Friday. There's really not a lot to do in this game right now and I think people are going to grind swaps. Now how does that affect the market, right? The reason why a lot of people see, and we've seen it in the past, market drops with a Icon Swap's release on this game is because most people sell their teams and especially I think this is gonna happen this year. The loading screen came out later into the evening, right? For when most of you guys are awake. Like a lot of you guys are probably waking up and seeing the news about Icon Swaps where you saw it late last night, depending on when you're watching this video and where you're from, of course. But the market has actually started to dip a decent amount, especially on the promo cards that are in packs. Now why would the market drop, right? The market's gonna drop in some areas and people are gonna sell some cards in a lot of areas in my opinion because number one, these foot versus ice cards that are in packs until Friday, people are gonna get the 81, 82, and 83 times 25 packs done today, they're gonna be able to get those tokens done pretty fast and open these packs if they want to even before Friday when they go out of packs. So whether you decide to save those packs for whatever promo is next, these cards are gonna get supplied a little bit through those packs untradable, right? The times 25 packs are all untradable, but still packing these cards, people might get them and then some tradable versions could be sold. So that is one thing you have to worry about a little bit. So I think that's why you're seeing like Rashford's 440K at the moment. That is down for sure for what his price was earlier. Valverde is down, Correa is down, Adama was like 250,000. I sold three or four Adamas at 260K yesterday and I believe right now he's like 220 on the market for his, yeah, for this version, the ice version. So these cards are down. That makes a little bit of sense. I think the whole rest of the market is gonna slide down in price as well. I really do think that it is today, boys, because most people, again, are gonna be selling some of their players that they have in their teams and their squads that they're grinding for Weekend League and qualification and stuff like that. There's gonna be people that sell those cards today just so they can go out and do the icon swaps because we usually do see a dip in the market, not a huge crash, but just more so of dip because people, their focus is not on division rivals and qualifying for Weekend League and it's more on the friendlies and the squad battles and getting those swap tokens done, especially right now when there's not a ton to do on this game. I really think that's gonna be like one of the main focuses of people today. So they're gonna wake up, people are gonna get on this game, maybe sell a few cards from their team, go out, play icon swaps, get as many tokens as they can done. Then they'll start to think about division rivals and especially Weekend League qualification later on after rewards, probably tomorrow and into Friday. But I do think you're gonna see some people sell cards, I also think you're gonna see a lot of trading groups and there's gonna be a lot of people advising to sell, right? Now I'm actually getting some out of some of the cards that I have that I was trying to sell. So I bought this Rodrigo on stream yesterday at 3.03, I was hoping to get like 3.30 plus but I'm taking the coins at 3.24 just because I wanna get out of that card. I'm selling some of my other Claude Maurice items. I bought some Tonalis in the low 40s. I'm selling those just to get out of them. I bought Tonoris at like 110, 112, he is up. I'm kinda getting out of that card. These Claude Maurice's that are selling at 40, 41K or 44 here, I bought those at like 37. So I just think that there's gonna be some panic selling today on this market because again, all of the demand is gonna be in the gameplay on the objective side of things and that's why you see like these silvers up in price. How much are Brazilian silvers right now? I really wanna see how much these are. I'm sure they're up in price. Brazilian silvers are almost 2000 coins apiece at like 1500. That's higher than they were earlier. Yeah, 1500 coins apiece for Brazilian silvers. People are running out and buying these cards so that they have the cards ready to go when icon swaps comes out today. This is probably gonna go a little bit higher. A lot of people have invested in this as well so be very careful there might be some over investment but this is where all the demand is going to be today. So that's I think gonna be the way of the game today. A lot of people are gonna sell some cards from their team whether it's investments or whether it is cards that are in their team because they're gonna focus on the objectives. Now there's gonna be great ways to trade, right? We know some of the leaked icons that are shouted out as supposed to be an icon swaps like Wayne Rooney. Wayne Rooney's midcard, he is literally gonna be unattainable. This 88-rid Wayne Rooney is gonna be unattainable through icon swaps today because if only nine tokens are released this card I think requires, what was it? According to the leak. Mid Rooney is 17 tokens according to the leak, right? If that is actually the case today, nobody's gonna be able to get this card. Nobody's gonna be able to get Mid Desai or Baby Del Piero. Yes, even though these cards are technically in icon swaps, they're down so much and there's been so much panic selling on these cards. 600K for Mid Del Piero, it's crazy. I would keep an eye on the icon market today. I would keep an eye on your out-of-pack special cards that are being panic sold, right? I was just looking at that Phil Foden. I was looking at the Rodrigo card, right? These meta cards that people are using Fred, you know, just very meta and popular out-of-pack special cards that just get dropped so much in price because people are selling some cards in their teams or they're panic selling because they fear that the market's gonna drop more. That is 100% where I would be on the market today because there's gonna be still some fluctuations and some swings. Like this Rashford was like 500,000 coins earlier. Now he's down 441, which is kind of crazy. This looks like why here, this is an investor that's selling. Look, all of these are zero games played in the current club. They're all listed like at the exact same time. How many of Rashford's do we have to like 47 or 480? There's 460 and there's a 449 overnight. So this is like somebody panic selling their Rashford right here and driving the price lower. You're gonna see a lot of this today. I think really the price drops are gonna be motivated by people that are panic selling investments and selling their teams because they're gonna go get cards to do objectives. So that's kind of the name of the game today. With Icon Swaps, I'm gonna be trading out of pack special cards, the freeze items, just basically where I see the biggest drop offs on the market, especially icons too. That'll be a great, great place to trade today. Now some people might be asking, will we see prime icons in packs today? I don't know if we're gonna see primes. I feel like that's more of a, I feel like they wanna drop prime icons on the market on the weekend when there's packs being opened and that's kind of the vibe of the weekend, is opening packs and stuff. We could get prime icons today. Everything is here, everything is ready. Obviously the players are loaded in, the player assets are loaded in. So it's just a matter of time, but I feel like they're not gonna do that until they're focusing on selling packs for a promo. And I think that might be Friday. So small chance today, but more so a chance on the weekend, I would imagine for the prime icons to be released in the game as well. They did that today on a Wednesday. That would honestly be really, really crazy. So other things that are gonna be happening today. Oh, I talked about this next-gen star players. If you guys did not see this, we were talking about this in a couple days prior and I'm actually gonna open my next-gen player pack right now. These next-generation players are taking the game by storm at the moment because everybody is getting them for free. You know, these actually might be very useful in icon swaps depending on, basically from here you have all of the top five leagues represented. You do. You have every single, do you have Sierra? Yeah, we have every single top five league represented from these six special cards, two Premier League, and then one from each of the other leagues. So this is literally helping people do icon swaps for the friendlies that I think will come out today, objectives for the swaps requirement. But EA even messed this up, right? Evidently, they had an issue with this pack because the Mbappe card was getting released as a striker and it should be a left wing. Should be a left wing. This Mbappe, by the way, has four star skills and a three star weak foot, which is a massive L. Like if you look at these cards, so many of them are downvoted. The card design looks absolutely sick. But you know, these cards aren't super duper usable, like we talked about in the video earlier this week. They're not super duper usable cards, I can't speak. But I'm really hoping for a tail Hernandez because that would fit the team and I'm gonna rip mine open right now and see who we get because everybody's getting these. You like preview packs, go French. Oh, Phil Foden, all right, I can't complain. Phil Foden is not bad. That's an 85 rated center attack in mid, Prem, I'll take it, right? That's not bad. That's literally like the third best choice, second or third best choice in my opinion. So I know it's got the four star skills, three star weak foot, but I will take Phil Foden. It's almost as good as tail Hernandez and we move, right? We move because that at least is a free card that we are adding to the club. But everybody's getting those today and EA did mess up the Mbappe item. You will not find those on the market, but good luck if you're opening yours. Let me know down in the comments what you got from that. Now, other things we're gonna see today, team of the week 13. Team of the week 13 is expected to be coming out today. It's a Wednesday, right? It's a team of the week day. Some people have got Mbappe in their predictions for this team of the week. Barela is another name, Atal, Courtois, Routiger, is another one. Let's go to Foothead really fast. Team of the week 13 prediction. They've got Courtois, Barela, Telemans, Atal in there as well. I don't see any name Mbappe. So I'm not sure about an Mbappe team of the week. Honestly, if this is, this looks like a really bad team of the week. So that doesn't look super duper hype for today. We do have one small leak, I guess I would like to mention. This was leaked by Mitch. Apparently Alfonso Davies has won the Bundesliga Player of the Month. And this could be his SPC card that it would be released tomorrow. So Thursday, we'll talk about this a little bit more in tomorrow's video. But Alfonso Davies could be getting an SPC and I think it'd be coming out on Thursday. That's why if you look at the popular page on Footbin, this, the rule breakers Davies is down bad. 165K because people are panicking because of this Player of the Month, which this card, if this, this a realistic stats not confirmed, but realistic ones, this card would be absolutely mental, absolutely mental in game. That's a left back that you can ride for like months to come. Especially if you have the Suley item, you know, Bayern Munich links, you can easily put them in like a little 451. Sane, team of the group stage with a card that shot up in price yesterday for a quick minute. He's up like 10K right now with the links to that card. But even as I'm looking across this team of players, like Bruno Fernandez is down 20, 30,000 coins, Lewandowski is down. Kiesa is a bit cheaper than normal. You're seeing some prices across the market. You know, people are selling a few cards ahead of Icon Swaps today, and I think it's gonna, wow, 532 for Holland, that's pretty low. Rudiger 295, team of the week shouts, that's pretty low. People are gonna be getting rid of some of the stuff that they have in their teams because they're gonna be going on trade-off for Icon Swaps. So I think that's kind of like the vibe of the day. Now, I know we're talking about Icon Swaps a lot and all that's coming out today, but one thing to keep another eye out for would be another loading screen because there could potentially be another loading screen today for the Winter Wonderland, I think is the name of what promo we might be getting next. I haven't really checked in on the leaks that much, but the Winter Wonderland promo is supposedly something that might be dropping today via a loading screen. The promo on Friday, of course, but we might get a loading screen today. So this Wednesday just went from just like a normal kind of Wednesday with team of the week and maybe kind of a boring day in FIFA to something crazy. So we will have to see how crazy it is today, but again, the focus is gonna be on Icon Swaps and Icon Swaps is finally here. So some of your cheap cards from the top five leagues as well, some of your cheap beasts, if you will, people might be going out and buying some of these cards up. So I even think about like the road to the Macouts of Diada for a league one side. People might be going out and buying some of these cheaper players to finish out their squads, to use some meta items in the Icon Swaps promo. So keep an eye on this sort of the market as well. There's gonna be a lot of movement as people are all about the Icon Swaps today on this game. So that's the video for today. Let me know down in the comments if you're excited for Icon Swaps, even though it's also like not hype because we know the stuff that's available, but if you're grinding the packs or whatever you think your best choice is gonna be, let me know down in the comments below. Of course, give this video a thumbs up if you found it helpful, and subscribe to the channel if you are new. It's gonna be a crazy Wednesday, and we are here for it. So it's been Nathan Foda Counting. I will catch you guys later. Peace out.
